Job description

Inverell High School is a rural, comprehensive, co-educational high school with an enrolment of 490 students. A significant number of our students are from a low SES background and 29.6% identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders. Our school provides learning environments that cater for individual student learning needs, as well as opportunities that allow all students to develop to their full potential. We have a Support Unit including classes for mild, moderate and severe intellectual disabilities, as well as four multi-categorical classes. A strong and well-recognised culture of inclusion and achievement is supported by extensive wellbeing initiatives. The school ensures students have a balanced, well-rounded education with access to a diverse range of academic, sporting, creative and cultural opportunities. There is a strong tradition of student and parent participation, and the school maintains productive links with local businesses and organisations.

The Department of Education is the largest provider of public education in Australia with responsibility for delivering high-quality public education to two-thirds of the NSW student population.
