Located 15 km from the centre of Perth in the growing suburb of Caversham, near the Swan Valley, Caversham Valley Primary School (PS) is surrounded by rapidly developing housing estates with many young families. Our school community includes families of different backgrounds and cultures, many from overseas where English is not always the first language or dialect spoken at home.
Established in 2020, Caversham Valley PS has already developed a reputation as a high-performing school with a culture of excellence and embracing its diverse community. Caversham Valley PS has a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and the social-emotional needs of children. Staff are united in supporting and demonstrating our school values of being Kind, Learners, Respectful, Responsible and Safe, with new staff expected to exemplify these.

The Role
As a teacher at Caversham Valley PS, you should endeavour to go beyond delivering the required curriculum; knowing students individually, culturally and developmentally is just as important. Genuine and meaningful relationships will be key to student, teacher and school success.
Suitable applicants should support the continued development and implementation of our school’s culture, vision and improvement journey. They should implement our school-wide practices that meet the needs of our students and an environment that promotes success. These practices include coaching, Peer Observation, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), Letters and Sounds, Words Their Way, Talk 4 Writing, Seven Steps, High Impact Teaching Strategies, and The Morning Meeting among others.
You will ideally work collaboratively with school leadership, other teachers, support staff and the wider community. Suitable applicants should value weekly collaborative planning in year level teams to develop consistent learning programs that utilise whole school assessment data, differentiate learning and teaching and understanding of impact on student progress. A willingness to take on additional roles beyond the classroom and a commitment to weekly information sessions will be valued..
