We are seeking to establish a pool of Cleaners for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2024 school year and up to the end of Term 4, 2025. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
At Leeming Senior High School (SHS) we have been welcoming families for over 30 years. We are an Independent Public School committed to giving our students the best resources and environment possible to prepare them for a bright future. We see ourselves as partners with parents and students to provide a supporting and caring environment during the High School years.
We seek to achieve Harmony and strive for Excellence. Our motto of Harmony and Excellence guides all members of our School Community to rise to their potential and care for each other.
Leeming SHS has a school community small enough to be able to care about each individual student but large enough to cater for a very broad range of academic and non-academic needs. Nestled between an abundance of bushland, we enjoy a peaceful environment in which to learn and grow.
