Job description

Gate Pā School is a diverse learning community committed to the learning and wellbeing of every child.

We are seeking a highly motivated part-time teacher to join our team on a fixed-term basis to provide classroom release (CRT) across the school while covering maternity leave.

The successful applicant will work across a range of year levels, building strong, learning-focused relationships with tamariki and staff, maintaining high expectations, and delivering explicit, evidence-informed teaching that supports positive outcomes for all ākonga.

We seek a flexible, adaptable and inclusive teacher who confidently works across different classrooms, authentically integrates Te Ao Māori into teaching and learning, and values and celebrates the diverse cultures and identities of our ākonga.

An experienced teacher is preferred, ideally with knowledge and experience in Better Start Literacy Approach (BSLA) and Maths – No Problem!

New staff are well supported through a thorough induction, access to high-quality PLD, and a staff culture grounded in care, collaboration and support. While classrooms are single-cell, we plan collaboratively, coach and mentor one another, and share a strong commitment to improving teaching and learning.
