Reignier Catholic School is a vibrant Y1–8 State Integrated Catholic Primary School. We are seeking a passionate and collaborative kaiako to join our junior team in a Y2-3 classroom in 2026.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a school that lives and breathes its special character and high expectations in everything we do. We are a school that places strong emphasis on relationships, community, and student success, and we’re looking for someone who is just as committed to nurturing our young learners in their academic, social, and spiritual journey.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Builds strong, respectful relationships with tamariki, whānau and staff.
• Nurtures and inspires young people to be their best selves.
• Has experience in Structured Literacy (please state if trained in BSLA).
• Has experience or understanding of Structured Maths programme (please state if trained in Maths No Problem and/or The Learner First).
• Will uphold and model our R.C.S. values in both words and actions.
• Has a sense of humour, a big heart, and a team-focused mindset.
• Lives and models the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ, and authentically integrates our Catholic faith into daily school life.
• Embraces diversity, is inclusive, and is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the bicultural and multicultural nature of Aotearoa New Zealand.
• Demonstrates strong curriculum knowledge, effective pedagogy, and confident classroom practice.
• Has excellent organisational and communication skills.

We offer a supportive, faith-filled, and compassionate team environment where we work hard and laugh often. If you're a teacher who is energised by high standards, a collaborative culture, and making a real difference in the lives of tamariki, we’d love to hear from you.
