We are seeking to establish a pool of Cleaners for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Westminster Junior Primary School and Westminster Primary Schools (PS) proudly served the Westminster community from 1958. In 2021 the two schools amalgamated, and the newly formed Westminster Primary School opened its doors to students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
At Westminster PS, we understand the importance of every student having a strong sense of belonging and feeling safe and valued. The school promotes an inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment, which cater to the needs of each individual student. We embed high quality evidence-based learning that support strong progress and success across all curriculum areas.
