The Role

Willandra PS is seeking a pool of enthusiastic and high-performing K–6 Teachers who should be passionate about achieving outstanding outcomes for students.

We are looking for educators who ideally build strong relationships with students, families and colleagues, while delivering high-quality, evidence-informed teaching that drives student learning and achievement. Suitable applicants should display strong professional, interpersonal and organisational skills, high expectations for all learners, and the ability to use data to inform teaching and accelerate student progress.

At Willandra PS, staff work collaboratively within a strong whole-school improvement agenda. Teachers are committed to Teaching for Impact, a consistent whole-school approach to teaching and positive behaviour, and collective responsibility for student success. We value educators who actively engage in collaborative planning, professional learning, moderation, feedback and school improvement initiatives to strengthen outcomes for all students.

Highly effective applicants would display trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices, creating safe, structured and inclusive learning environments that recognise and celebrate the rich diversity of our students and wider learning community. They should understand the importance of developmentally appropriate practice, including play-based learning in the Early Years, and use student interests to enhance engagement and learning. Willandra PS implements evidence-informed approaches including InitiaLit, Word Origins and the Explicit Mathematics Program (EMP), supported by the WA Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Framework to promote consistency in teaching, learning and behaviour across the school.

We value reflective and adaptable educators who are open to learning, committed to refining their practice, and eager to contribute to a collaborative, high-performing school culture. Join a future-focused team where professionalism, collaboration and high-quality teaching drive excellence in student learning and achievement.
