Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within Term 4, 2023, up to the end of the 2024 school year.
At the end of 2024, HHC will include in its school’s resources a new state of the art STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic) hub which all teacher’s will be able to access to further develop student potential in this area.
Suitable applicants will ideally be student and relationship-focused and be able to provide engaging, authentic, and meaningful learning experiences.

Suitable applicants should be able to deliver an inspiring and relevant Design and Technology curriculum to a range of students with mixed abilities using a positive, student-focused approach. They should possess well developed knowledge and understanding of the Western Australian Technologies Curriculum, and the ability to deliver and assess the curriculum to ensure students can reach their full potential in all aspects of the Technology and Design Process and contexts. Holding a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or the willingness to obtain one would be highly advantageous.
Suitable applicants will ideally possess excellent interpersonal skills and a capacity to work collaboratively in a dynamic team environment with students, teachers, and the wider community to achieve the best educational outcomes for our students. We seek applicants with a strong growth mindset, who display the ability to reflect on the effectiveness of their teaching, and the flexibility to employ a wide range of teaching strategies, in order to engage and inspire student learning.
Graduate teachers are encouraged to apply for this position. We have strong support and processes that provide learning and development practices for all staff and pride ourselves with the opportunities and support that we provide for graduates.
