We are working in partnership with an award-winning Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12, Independent co-educational boarding and day school based in the lovely city of Darwin. The school has amazing facilities and a first-class management team with a strong academic culture that prioritizes and supports the wellbeing of both students and teachers to ensure a collaborative learning environment. Education excellence is at the heart of our culture and national rankings consistently rate us as one of Australia’s leading independent schools with 20% of our students achieving ATARs above 95.

The school is closely aligned with one of Australia's leading Schools with campuses in other major Australia cities and internationally hence there are significant career development opportunities for teachers. Due to the continued growth of the school, we are looking to fill a number of roles.

We welcome applications from engaging and dedicated professionals with a record of best practice and a sound knowledge of teaching Indigenous students to commence at our School in Darwin. You will join an enthusiastic team inspiring our First Nations Students to shape the future.

The school program provides an exciting and enriching curriculum for all students. It builds resilient and independent learners with skills in creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking. Our teaching approach is tailored to suit all year levels. We develop core literacy and numeracy skills through explicit instruction in the junior years, while in the middle years we move to a combination of explicit instruction and student-centred learning. As students enter their senior years, they begin a three-year VCE program coupled with a range of subjects to suit all interests and abilities.
