• a genuine commitment to pastoral care, co-curricular participation and the broader life of the School
• excellent written and spoken English, strong interpersonal skills and confidence using technology to enhance learning.

Desirable Experience

• teaching across more than one senior pathway, including the IB Diploma Programme, HSC or IB Middle Years Programme
• contributing to mathematics enrichment, extension or competition programmes
• participating in co-curricular, outdoor education or service programmes
• holding a higher degree or demonstrating further scholarship in Mathematics or education.

• dedication to the wellbeing, formation and growth of every young person
• a commitment to inclusive excellence and high expectations for all learners

• a collaborative, reflective and growth-focused approach to your practice.

All teachers at CGS are required to hold:
