We are seeking to establish a pool of Library Officers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Nestled alongside Wungong Creek in Hilbert, Wungong Primary School will be opening its doors to the local community in February 2026. We believe our students, staff and community are highly capable. We will support them by encouraging a love of learning; developing authentic, caring relationships and delivering high quality, connected teaching. We have high expectations for the success of the whole child and believe that when people are strong in culture and community, they achieve more.
Our campus will be state-of-the-art. All classrooms will be airconditioned and enjoy the latest technologies. Complementing the abundance of green space in our suburb, our school will have multiple playgrounds and open areas for our students to play, connect and learn. Our Gilgie playground will be particularly amazing.
An information session for prospective staff will be held in week 2 of term 4 at Piara Waters Senior High School. We encourage all applicants to attend to ensure you address your application to our needs. Please register here to attend.
