About the role

You will be supported by a College Executive that is committed to “awakening potential and empowering learners for purposeful lives through Christ”.

Additionally, the leadership has made College wide changes to support a new way of learning:

De-siloed all subject areas including curriculum leadership

Simplified secondary timetable across all year levels

All day Wednesday program focused on wellbeing, student advocacy, exploration of student led passion projects, etc.

Furthermore, the College is implementing a five-year plan to move to a “stage” not “age” model of schooling across Year 7 to 12. It is anticipated that the College will remove the concept of year levels and increase flexibility to all students.

With such innovative changes we need teachers who can “dream big” and have the requisite traits such as tenacity, passion, tolerance of ambiguity, confidence, vision and flexibility.
