The Role
Suitable applicants will ideally have the capacity to create a safe, inclusive learning environment. They will ideally be highly collaborative and reflective: able to promote, design and deliver engaging lessons which support students with different needs to grow in confidence and capacity.
The HASS Learning Area provides a variety of electives for lower secondary students and offers senior school courses in addition to the core HASS subjects for Years 7 to 10. We encourage applicants with experience in both mainstream HASS and any of the following areas to apply: Ancient History, Geography, Economics, Modern History, Politics and Law, Philosophy and Ethics, Business Management and Enterprise and Certificate IV in Business.
As reflective practitioners, applicants should display an enthusiasm for taking up professional learning opportunities to maximise student engagement, build a common language and promote teacher reflection. Suitable applicants should use a range of formative assessment strategies, engage in moderation and marking processes, provide effective, timely feedback to students and use data to evaluate and improve the impact of their teaching. They will ideally have the capacity to initiate and maintain respectful and caring relationships with students, colleagues and the wider school community.
Churchlands SHS have an outstanding tradition of student excellence in academic, sporting and cultural fields and is without peer in the public system, placing the school competitively against Western Australia's leading schools.
