A rare opportunity to join a high-performing, high-profile school in Tāmaki Makaurau.

Due to two positions becoming available – one through maternity leave and one through a staff member heading overseas to support whānau – we’re fortunate to offer two permanent teaching positions for 2026. No one else is leaving… which says a lot about our kura and why people stay!

At Sylvia Park School, our reputation is built on innovation, collaboration, and a relentless focus on what’s best for our tamariki. We’re a vibrant, future-focused school with 580 amazing kids, one-to-one devices from Y2 upwards, a clear and purposeful vision, and strong pedagogical leadership. Our learners deserve the best – teachers who are positive, adaptable, and passionate about making a real impact.

We’re looking for kaiako who:

• Have a sense of humour and emotional intelligence
• Bring energy, fun, and authenticity to their mahi
• Build strong, respectful relationships with tamariki and whānau
• See themselves as learners and are willing to grow
• Aren’t afraid to get stuck in – whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or joining a karaoke session in the staffroom!

At SPS, you’ll teach in a supportive team environment, access quality PLD, smaller class sizes, learning assistant support, amazing release, and be part of a culture where excellence is expected and celebrated. We’re proud of our 4–5 year ERO review cycle, our prolific educational publications, and our well-known inquiry model on our Pakirehua website .

This is your chance to join a kura that walks the talk, where teaching and learning are deeply valued – and where you’ll feel like you belong.
