Position Information

Auburn West Public School provides inclusive K-6 education for a diverse community located on the western edge of the suburb, adjacent to Auburn Botanical gardens. The current enrolment is approximately 540, with 25 classes, including 98% of students from a non-English speaking background. The school receives additional funding to support a range of needs within the school community. In addition to English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) teachers, community language programs in Arabic and Turkish support students in their learning. Students, staff, parents and the wider community work together to promote excellence, where “effort is the key”. Staff at Auburn West Public School are professional, collaborative and caring. Instructional leadership and co-teaching are a focus, particularly in literacy and numeracy. Across the school, leaders work with teachers to meet the challenge of continual improvement through reflection and implementation of well researched practices, the analytical monitoring of student performance data and transforming pedagogy into innovative practice.

Specific Selection Criteria

• Approval to teach Infants and primary (K-6), with a demonstrated ability to develop and deliver high quality, differentiated, Arabic community language teaching and learning programs.
• Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to work as part of a collaborative team to develop innovative and engaging language programs, with an emphasis on student engagement.
• Capacity and willingness to contribute to a school culture that promotes student wellbeing and builds positive relationships with students, staff and parents.
