We are seeking suitable applicants who are resourceful and creative with clear expertise in the delivery of a Visual Arts Program across all phases of development and a broad knowledge of artistic mediums. The successful applicants will be dedicated to planning and delivering high quality teaching programs that promote student engagement and achievement in the Arts area. Suitable applicants will need to be able to teach at an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) standard. Having a Certificate III qualification will be highly advantageous.

The suitable applicants will enjoy working in a collaborative and dynamic team environment and will contribute positively to the continued development of a strong performance culture in drama and dance. The ability to lead student productions and performance events is an important part of this position.

Cecil Andrews College strives to create a vibrant culture of excellence, innovation, opportunity and success for students, staff and the community. The focus of our work will be on quality teaching and provision of the widest range of opportunities for individual achievement and learning success. Applicants will be committed to maximising the engagement and progress of all students and must be able to work effectively within a professional learning community within the Arts Learning Area. The capacity to engage in innovative practices with an emphasis on enquiry focussed learning is desirable.

Cecil Andrews College provides exemplary education to children from Year 7 to Year 12. Located in Seville Grove, we do not have a prescribed local intake area so we welcome children from across the State to apply to enrol.  Special programs in Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM), Australian Rules Football, and the Performing Arts provide talented children unique pathways for success.

Our academic extension program is also setting new standards for the area and specially trained teachers are creating challenging learning opportunities so each child can meet their potential and become successful in their field of endeavour.

We understand that every child is different and has different challenges and needs - physically, emotionally and mentally. Our range of services including a school psychologist and nurse, peer support programs and breakfast club are designed to provide support and life skills. This means each child has a safe place to go where they belong and feel nurtured. Clontarf, Girls Academy and Follow The Dream are programs specifically for Indigenous children.

Our $5m STEM centre is just one of our impressive facilities that gives your child special access to state-of the-art learning technologies. It features new cutting edge laboratories, pristine preparation areas and an enviable lecture theatre. Our school also has extensive playing fields which support the AFL students and basketball courts which are the envy of many of our neighbours. Together with our performing arts centre and attractive landscaped grounds, our campus creates a learning environment where children can feel comfortable and thrive.

To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate your competency against the following domains (that govern the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers):
