Job description

We’re looking for a technology superstar who can turn children’s curiosity into purposeful designing, making and problem-solving.

At Parnell District School, our vision is growing great humans. We want our children to see possibilities, explore ideas and develop the skills and confidence to bring them to life. You’ll work alongside our specialist teachers to create meaningful opportunities for children across Years 1 to 8 to explore the technology curriculum.

You’ll bring strong curriculum knowledge, practical expertise and enthusiasm for teaching learners of different ages and abilities. You’ll be child-centred, have a growth mindset, and enjoy helping children test ideas, learn from setbacks and take pride in what they create.

Our values of Kaitiakitanga, Innovation and Truth give this work real purpose: considering the impact of what we make, thinking creatively, and honestly evaluating how well our solutions work.

Our current technology teacher has spent years building a well-resourced, inspiring place for children to make and do, but we're looking for our next teacher to make their dreams come true. We offer well-resourced teaching spaces, a collaborative specialist team and a diverse school community.

There is room here to contribute your strengths, develop your ideas and build a programme that children look forward to.

If you love teaching technology and helping children discover what they’re capable of, we’d love to hear from you.
