This is a 3 month fixed term, part-time (0.4FTE) position commencing Term 1, 2027 with possible extension and/or permanency

Yule Brook College is a small, caring, and inclusive learning community where every student is known, valued and supported to achieve their potential through our philosophy of 'one student at a time in a community of learners'. Our students become responsible and active community members through a strong focus on the principles of the Big Picture Learning design for education, encompassing academic excellence, development of social skills, emotional well-being, and respect. Our school has approximately 300 students across Years 7 to 12 with our graduates receiving the International Big Picture Learning Credential at the end of Year 12.

We seek to engage young people in learning through the Big Picture Learning design, encouraging every student to identify and pursue their interests and passions. Students extend their learning beyond the classroom through community internships with adult mentors, developing the skills, confidence and connections needed for life beyond school. Strong partnerships with families are central to our approach, fostered through regular Learning Plan Meetings and Exhibitions. Throughout their journey, students are challenged to strive for their personal best, both academically and as contributing members of the community.
