If you're passionate about helping every child thrive, we’d love to hear from you! Join an inclusive school community where your passion for supporting students can truly shine.

Borinya WCP is seeking an Education Support Officer to join our friendly school environment. This is an exciting, ongoing opportunity to be part of Catholic Education in the Sandhurst Diocese.

Make a meaningful impact by supporting students in their academic, emotional, and spiritual development. Working under the guidance of a teacher, you’ll assist individuals and small groups across a range of learning areas, contribute to wellbeing and inclusive programs, and help create a nurturing classroom environment.

Borinya is a specialist school setting inspired by the Catholic story, that offers young people in years 7-12, an opportunity to re-engage in their education. If you are inspired by making a difference, we want to hear from you!

About Borinya

Borinya is an indigenous word that means the ‘ana’ or branch of a river which has parted from its main course for a short time. The branch leaves the main flow of the river and later re-joins it. This reflects the main aim for young people who attend Borinya.

Borinya offers young people an opportunity to be members of a supportive, learning community during a time in their lives when they may be struggling with social or emotional challenges or when mainstream education does not meet their needs.

At Borinya we WALK together with Courage, Resilience, Inclusiveness and Curiosity.

We recognise that relationship is at the heart of learning.

We will provide each student with an education that meets their needs and supports their future goals.
