The Role

Suitable applicants will ideally be passionate, motivated and skilled educators who are committed to developing the whole child.

It is highly desirable that applicants are committed to developing positive relationships with students, parents, staff and the wider community. Experience teaching with the Sounds-Write program is also highly desirable. Applicants should have a solid capacity to plan challenging, differentiated and engaging programs for multi-age groups using an excellent understanding of the Western Australian Curriculum.

Major focus projects for the year include building curriculum around respectful relationships as part of the Action Respect initiative and working with local cluster schools to develop a knowledge-rich, coherently sequenced local guaranteed and viable curriculum for the Fitzgerald Cluster.
