The Role

Connolly PS is seeking passionate and committed teachers who are dedicated to maintaining high expectations for themselves and for every student in every classroom.

Ideal applicants will possess strong curriculum knowledge and the ability to differentiate teaching to meet diverse student needs, display a collaborative, whole-school approach to teaching and learning, be familiar with or open to using evidence-based, explicit, and assessment-informed practices, have knowledge of programs such as Talk for Writing, InitiaLit, Literature Based Units of Work and hands on approaches to mathematics. Applicants should be open to a teaching and learning feedback cycle where class observations become a catalyst to improve teaching and learning across the school.

Suitable applicants should be committed to working as part of a dynamic, collaborative team and will welcome ongoing professional learning and leadership opportunities to ensure the success of all through a focus on lifelong learning. They will ideally engage in collaborative planning within year-level teams to develop consistent, high-quality learning programs and teacher efficacy. Suitable applicants should be committed to rigorously analysing student data to monitor the impact of their teaching on student learning and embrace innovative teaching methods to enhance student engagement.

Our educators would ideally embrace a culture of accountability and professionalism, evidence-based decision-making and differentiated instruction, transparent classroom management, aligned with our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework, a commitment to restorative practices through our partnership with Real Schools.

Connolly PS provides opportunities for teachers to extend their impact through leadership roles, school improvement projects, and active participation in collaborative planning and decision-making processes.
