Position Information

Located in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, Green Square Public School is a new school that has been built as part of the Green Square urban renewal precinct. The school is at the centre of a rapidly growing multicultural community, surrounded by residential development, new public buildings and green spaces. Forward thinking architectural design has enabled the school to be built with engaging, flexible learning spaces, a full range of educational facilities and community spaces. As a shared community facility with the City of Sydney, the school is the heart of the community both in function and culture. At capacity, the school will cater for 600 students. Opening with Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students in 2025, the school will welcome Years 3 and 4 students in 2026 and Years 5 and 6 in 2027. The foundation staff have the unique and exciting role of contributing to the shaping of the school’s vision, priorities, educational framework, learning programs, wellbeing approaches, systems, community engagement strategy and overall school culture. Educators at Green Square Public School focus on the children in their care with unwavering commitment, achieving outstanding learning outcomes for all students. They are actively involved in a range of roles beyond the classroom, developing original and creative ideas and enrichment programs. Members of our team take initiative, are risk takers, have a creative and curious mindset, are focused on best pedagogical practice, actively engage in professional learning and implement contemporary wellbeing approaches. They are central to realising authentic collective efficacy across our school community. Our staff are intentional curators of a positive school culture and understand how to synergise all aspects of their practice to contribute to a culture of care, trust, engagement, belonging, inspiration and aspiration. The position will commence in 2026.
