We are seeking to establish a pool of Primary Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2025 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

East Kalgoorlie Primary School (EKPS) is situated on the eastern fringe of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Williamstown.  Our students reside all over the city, 94% of whom are Aboriginal. With one of the lowest Index of Community Socioeducational Advantage (ICSEA) in the state at 614, it is a priority that we engage with our community and stakeholders to develop strong structures and supports so every child can achieve no matter of their location or personal circumstance. All staff are committed to being culturally responsive.

All staff members are highly visual around the school and develop strong relationships with our students and their families.  Staff have high expectations and a high care attitude, knowing all students by name and with enrolments at a record high at approximately 160 students, this shows a strong sense of belonging, of which we are incredibly proud. The school’s culture is bought into by all, and there is a clear focus on students accessing evidence-based whole-school approaches and having opportunities to embrace, celebrate and learn their culture and language to pass on to future generations and imperative to our reconciliation action plan.
