Head of Senior School

Commencement January, 2027

At The Armidale School (TAS), we believe education is about far more than academic success. Guided by our Vision of Excellence inspired by Character, Built through Challenge, Developing Graduates who are Capable, Kind and Confident, we are committed to helping every young person discover their potential and make a positive contribution to the world around them. As one of Australia's leading regional co-educational Anglican boarding and day schools, TAS combines a proud heritage with a progressive outlook, creating an environment where character, wellbeing, leadership and learning are valued in equal measure.

We are looking for an outstanding educational leader to join our Executive Team as Head of Senior School. This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of students in Years 9–12 by leading a culture where wellbeing, engagement, and high expectations enable every student to thrive. Working closely with Heads of Day House, Heads of Boarding Houses, teaching staff and fellow Executive members, you will provide strategic leadership of the Senior School's pastoral care, student behaviour and engagement, ensuring a consistent and supportive experience that reflects the School's Anglican ethos, Character Framework and values of Connection, Courage and Commitment.

You'll be an experienced and authentic leader who understands the importance of strong relationships and the impact of exceptional pastoral care. With expertise in student wellbeing, adolescent development and staff leadership, you'll build trust, develop capability and confidently navigate complex student and family matters with professionalism, empathy and sound judgement. Above all, you'll believe that character formation sits alongside academic excellence and that every young person deserves to be known, challenged and supported to achieve their personal best.

This is an opportunity to join a thriving, values-driven school community where leadership extends well beyond the classroom. TAS staff are deeply involved in the life of the School, building meaningful relationships through our rich co-curricular program and creating a genuine sense of belonging. If you're ready to lead with purpose and help shape the next generation of capable, kind, and confident graduates, we would love to hear from you.
