Trinity Christian School is an independent Preschool to Year 12 school where students develop spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally and physically through a wide range of learning experiences. We recognise the individual worth of each person and their responsibility to others. Trinity promotes staff excellence and values the benefit that our professional team bring to the school.

As a teacher you are responsible for creating a learning environment where powerful learning is at the heart of the classroom where students know how to learn and where personal effort, excellence and achievement are valued and celebrated.

Essential Criteria

• A sharp, research-informed progressive vision of learning and teaching and the capacity to create a rich and invigorating learning environment in a Christian learning community of excellence.
• A gifted, dynamic teacher with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the development and educational needs of students and a passion for encouraging them in faith in Jesus Christ.
