We are seeking to establish a pool of Primary Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year and up to the end of Term 1, 2028. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Eddystone Primary School (PS) is located in the suburb of Heathridge, approximately 27km north of the Perth City. Our motto is 'ACHIEVING TOGETHER' every child challenged to reach their full potential as a life-long learner. We cater for Kindergarten to Year 6 students and our staff focus on individual students, enabling us to maintain a small school feel amid a growing area.
Our supportive, dedicated and experienced staff work collaboratively to enhance every student's physical, social, academic and emotional development. With access to ongoing professional development, the staff work towards preparing students for the many demands and rapid changes of an ever-evolving future. We are leaders in the balance of play and Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) in our K-2 classrooms and are looking for educators to join our dynamic team. If you are K-2 qualified, we are seeking experience with a balanced approach to curriculum. National Quality Standards and Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is essential. If you are an educator passionate about working in the years 3 to 6 we are seeking teaching staff with knowledge of EDI and the inclusion of rigorous daily reviews in literacy and numeracy, paired fluency and effective reading block instruction. In numeracy we use Oxford Maths as an effective resource to support curriculum delivery. We are seeking staff with knowledge and experience with open ended, critical and creative thinking across the curriculum.
The Eddystone PS learning community works collaboratively to ensure a strong culture of learning. Parents are valuable partners, as is evidenced by their voluntary support in learning and sporting programs, involvement in decision making processes and fundraising and continuing interest in their children's development. We also enjoy wider community support from local businesses and organisations.
We host a highly accredited Intensive English Centre. Students from over 40 nationalities make up an enriched learning community that celebrates our diversity as a school community.
