Tāmaki School is seeking three excellent pouako | teachers to join our kura permanently.

We are a diverse Years 1–8 kura in the heart of Tāmaki, Auckland, with English-medium, Māori-medium, Samoan bilingual and Tongan bilingual pathways. Our learners and whānau sit firmly at the centre of our work.

We are looking for teachers who are committed to excellent outcomes for every learner and who bring strong, culturally responsive classroom practice. Successful applicants will build warm, demanding relationships with learners, work collaboratively with colleagues, use evidence to strengthen teaching and accelerate progress, and contribute positively to the wider life of our kura.

Across the three positions, we particularly welcome strengths in curriculum and assessment, structured literacy and mathematics, te reo Māori and mātauranga Māori, and Māori-medium education.

We are looking for people who are reflective, reliable and committed to growing their practice. Most importantly, we want pouako who believe deeply in the potential of our tamariki and demonstrate that belief through the quality of their teaching every day.

Whāia te ara tika | Pursue the right path.
