This is a permanent part-time (0.4FTE) position commencing Term 2, 2026
North Lake Senior Campus provides a quality education for young people and adults wanting to complete Year 11 and Year 12 in a safe, unique and inclusive campus. With an atmosphere more like an adult training institute than a traditional secondary school, North Lake Senior Campus offers opportunities for students to achieve university entry, gain an apprenticeship, traineeship or enter the world of work.
Highly qualified and caring staff work alongside students to engage with Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) courses or Vocational Education and Training (VET) programmes from a range of areas. North Lake's Fast Track Program, located in central Fremantle in a purpose-built campus, offers customised learning programs catering for students not quite ready for mainstream Year 11. The Intensive English Centre, located at the main campus, assists newly arrived Australians targeted programs to assist them to learn Standard Australian English and transition to mainstream senior schooling or further training and employment.
