The Role
We are looking for great people to join our growing school team and contribute to a positive, collaborative and student-centred culture. This is an exciting opportunity for skilled and committed teachers who are ideally passionate about making a genuine difference to student learning and wellbeing.
Suitable applicants will have the opportunity to work alongside a supportive team of teaching staff to plan, deliver and review whole-school programs aligned to the school’s priorities. We are seeking teachers who are ideally confident in using evidence-based teaching practices, student data and assessment information to inform their teaching, and who are committed to creating inclusive, engaging and purposeful learning environments for all students.
Our school values people who build strong relationships with students, families, colleagues and the wider community. Suitable applicants should bring a strong understanding of the Western Australian Curriculum and the ability to plan learning that is challenging, engaging and responsive to student needs.
Applicants should be collaborative team players who are willing to support whole-school approaches, including High Impact Classroom Instruction, and contribute to a shared culture of high expectations, professional growth and collective success. A willingness to collaborate, learn from others and contribute to the ongoing development of whole-school practice will be highly valued.
Experience or knowledge in programs and approaches such as Talk for Writing, Prime Mathematics, EMP, Spelling Mastery, Heggerty, Cracking the Code, Sounds-Write, and other evidence-informed practices is desirable, but not essential.
Most importantly, we are seeking great people who are open to learning, committed to working as part of a team, and motivated to help every student achieve success.
