Introduction

NT Christian Schools is a Christian organisation dedicated to advancing the Christian religion through education and religious instruction.

Applicants must demonstrate consistency with the religious beliefs of NT Christian Schools as outlined in the organisation’s Policies and Procedures.

This role requires the highest level of commitment to the Lord, the Bible, and to schooling from a Christian perspective. Teachers will be expected to provide an effective witness to the beliefs of NT Christian Schools, incorporating biblical perspectives in the teaching of the Australian curriculum, leading staff and student devotions, and sharing personal testimony. Teachers will also reflect their growing relationship with Christ in their professional and personal lives.

Our close-knit, family-like school culture fosters a commitment to student growth, both academically and personally. We support students and staff in being lifelong learners, working together to make a positive impact on the world.

Our work environment is rooted in principles of generosity, teamwork, effectiveness, efficiency, and attention to detail, all while maintaining a Christ-centred and safe workplace.
