Manager Corporate Services

This is a permanent part-time (0.8FTE) position commencing Term 3, 2025

Maida Vale Primary School (PS) is located approximately 20 kilometres from the Perth CBD in the foothills and offers a unique bush setting with nearby local reserve. The school was first opened on 12 February 1912 on a site some 1.5kms northwest of the present-day location. The building was a single weatherboard and iron classroom, and the sixteen pupils were in the charge of the school's first teacher, Miss Ida Lee. This first bush land setting was rather secluded and was not even serviced by a road.
