Kingston Primary School (PS) is seeking to establish a pool of Primary Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year and up to the end of Term 3, 2027. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

At Kingston PS, our mission is simple yet powerful: to prepare every student for life success by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and character to thrive, contribute positively to society, and pursue excellence in all they do.

At Kingston PS, we pursue excellence in teaching and learning and hold high expectations for both our students and ourselves. We are committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-informed teaching practices aligned with the Department of Education's Quality Teaching Strategy and continue to build staff capability through collaboration, reflection, and ongoing professional growth.

We take pride in our whole-school approaches to literacy, numeracy, and character development through the Virtues and Resilience Project. Our core values of Care, Courage, Respect, and Excellence underpin our school culture and guide our interactions, decision-making, and commitment to continuous improvement.

We believe that every staff member plays a vital role in supporting student success. Through a strong collaborative and wraparound approach, our staff work together to promote student wellbeing, engagement, belonging, and achievement. Complementing this work is our dedicated Student Support Services Team, which provides specialised support and expertise for students requiring additional intervention and works alongside staff, families, and external agencies to ensure all students have every opportunity to thrive.

Located just 150 kilometres south of Perth in the growing coastal community of Australind, Kingston PS is an Independent Public School catering for approximately 600 students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

We are seeking highly effective educators who are committed to evidence-based practice, collaborative inquiry, and high-impact teaching. Successful applicants will be dedicated to fostering an inclusive learning environment where every student is known, valued, supported, and challenged to achieve their personal best.
