The Role

With a vision to create a culturally responsive community of lifelong learners and a strong culture of feedback, we invite you to apply to become part of an inclusive school community. As a member of the Neerigen Brook PS team, you will join a positive, professional culture, underpinned by high expectations for all. We seek staff who bring a strength-based approach and who prioritise building productive relationships with students, families, and the broader community. The personal qualities you bring to this role are important, including a commitment to collaborative teamwork, solutions-focused problem solving, fostering a growth mindset, engaging in regular reflective practice, and acting on feedback.

Educators at Neerigen Brook PS embrace a culturally inclusive curriculum that reflects the cultural, linguistic diversity of our school community. In partnership with families, our goal is for all students to make year on year growth. We will provide innovative and engaging learning experiences and a broad curriculum, which promote individual excellence and develop social and civic responsibility. We aim to support the social, emotional, and academic growth of each student through targeted teaching, evidence-based practices, supportive learning environments and a strong pastoral care approach.

High performing learning communities consistently use evidence-based teaching and learning practices that prioritise the reflective use of data and embedded differentiation to support all students. Teachers at Neerigen Brook PS should promote successful engagement by adopting high impact teaching strategies, using ongoing formative assessment to provide feedback to students, measure student progress, differentiate teaching and plan next steps in learning.

Suitable applicants will ideally be committed to restorative and reflective teaching practices through active participation in a culture of professional growth. This may include ongoing opportunities for coaching, classroom observation and feedback as well as teachers who are committed to their own professional learning to ensure they maintain and build on contemporary, evidence-based approaches. With a strong belief that together we can make a difference to each child, teachers participate in whole school, phase of learning and curriculum teams to develop and commit to a whole school approach to teaching and learning. Our educators are committed to continuous self-improvement and building their leadership skills both within and beyond the classroom.

Teachers within our Early Childhood Education phase of learning will ideally promote the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards. They recognise that children need opportunities to interact and build trusting relationships and engage families in each child’s learning journey. Programs should include planned, purposeful play, balanced with the explicit teaching of essential foundation skills and concepts.
