The Role
At Dawson Park PS, we are seeking dedicated teachers who embrace evidence-based practice and are committed to helping every student succeed.

It is highly desirable that teachers can skilfully scaffold content to provide differentiated teaching processes when catering for a whole class with mixed ability students. Suitable applicants that possess the ability to utilise trauma informed practice and proactive behaviour strategies that support positive student outcomes in and out of the classroom will be looked upon favourably.
As a school committed to continuous improvement, we value teachers who are open to feedback, coaching, and ongoing professional growth. The successful applicant will actively contribute to our collaborative learning community, share practice with colleagues, and engage in reflective dialogue to refine and strengthen teaching and learning across the school.
