Job description

Wongan Hills District High School (DHS) is seeking to establish a pool of dynamic, dedicated and passionate Secondary Generalist Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

The School

Wongan Hills DHS is a medium-sized district high school situated less than 2 hours' drive north-east of Perth in the stunning Wheatbelt.

The town offers a variety of quality shopping environments to suit a country lifestyle and has an impressive range of sporting and other groups and excellent facilities to foster opportunities to be part of the community.

The Role

Teachers who can teach across two or more learning areas will be highly regarded. Graduates, teachers considering the LEAP Program and primary teachers interested in exploring secondary teaching are also encouraged to apply.

Suitable applicants should be committed to promoting and fostering student engagement and academic achievement in a highly supportive learning environment.

Professional learning will be provided if required. Both graduate and experienced teachers are encouraged to apply.

Our vision is to pursue excellence by empowering and inspiring our students to become life-long learners. We encourage inclusivity and high quality teaching and learning to nurture student well-being, resilience and success through a range of classroom experiences and community collaboration. In 2021, we were acknowledged with a Recognition of Academic Excellence by the Department of Education. This is an achievement that we are immensely proud of .
