This is a permanent part-time (0.6FTE) position commencing Term 3, 2021
Are you a passionate and dedicated Food and Textiles Technologies Teacher?
Roleystone Community College is seeking a dynamic Secondary Food and Textiles Technologies Teacher.
Roleystone Community College is becoming recognised as one of Western Australia’s outstanding public schools based on the excellence of its teaching and ability to meet the needs of every student. Roleystone Community College builds promising futures for our students through providing excellent breadth and depth of education and a rich range of curricular and extra-curricular opportunities. Roleystone Community College values and fosters community partnerships and sees itself as a community asset.
Central to the students’ experience at Roleystone is a college culture that promotes learning. The school is driven by the deep belief that every student is capable of successful learning and that it is the responsibility of every teacher and leader to ensure that all students progress. Roleystone Community College embraces the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly changing world to change lives for the better.
Every student at Roleystone Community College matters.
As a school and as teachers we don’t give up on students – we constantly explore new ways to engage students who are not making progress, or who are making progress at a rate beyond that of their peers. The personal and familial attributes and circumstances relating to a student are not viewed as reasons or excuses for a student’s lack of academic and/or social progress. Instead they are viewed as challenges that need to be overcome.
Students will receive every assistance to overcome obstacles to learning, or to provide opportunities to achieve beyond the levels expected of them. We promote school and classroom environments that are safe, respectful, tolerant, inclusive and promote academic rigour. There will be a strong collegial culture of mutual trust, respect and support among teachers and school leaders, and positive, caring relationships between staff, parents, students and the wider community.
Arising out of this vision are four principles that underlie decision-making and the way staff work within the College and need to form the core of every teacher’s belief and practice. It is expected that each teacher will understand and work within these guiding principles. These four principles guide the way we work at Roleystone Community College. The four principles are:
- Presume positive intent.
- No deficit model.
- Role modelling of positive behaviours.
- Every student will progress and this progress is the responsibility of the teacher, leaders and parents in the school.
The successful applicant will ideally possess an understanding and belief in these guiding principles.
The successful applicant will have the ability to influence the progress of students within our Food and Textiles Technologies program within the school. This includes the creation of an interesting, challenging and enjoyable learning environment. An ability or interest to teach in other areas in the future may also be an advantage.
Roleystone Community College is looking for teachers that can work collegiately and collaboratively, but can also show a level of independence and initiative in the way they work.
A clear understanding of the current version of the Western Australian Curriculum, along with outstanding teaching and learning skills, knowledge and understandings are desired.
The successful applicant will ideally possess clear understanding of formative assessment and how this informs their teaching. It is expected that the successful applicant will possess an approach to self-improvement and will be willing to engage in our classroom observations process to improve their own teaching.
