Teaching Service
Position Information Gundagai High School is a small, comprehensive rural secondary school with 168 students and 12% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. With a school staffing entitlement of 24 teachers, the school is committed to continually improving effective classroom practices with staff professional learning being a key to ensuring this. This learning will ensure that both literacy and numeracy levels can be enhanced through improving teacher excellence, early data collection, analysis and action. Learning and Support is an important aspect of the school teaching and learning programs. We offer extensive support to students to reach HSC minimum standards, achieve within general school assessments and cope with the rigours of mandatory courses. Students with additional needs are catered for through a multi-categorical class with an inclusive focus across the school. The school attracts significant funding for low socio-economic background and as a result, the school provides high levels of access to technology.

The school utilises the location allowance subsidy to lease a school bus and car, providing greater access for educational experiences and activities that strengthen community connections for students. The school strives to maintain a strong culture of collaborative practice through regularly engaging with P&C, AECG, staff and students to share school decision making and resource allocation and by reviewing and gaining feedback on school policy and practice. Student wellbeing is a high focus area for the school, recognising student participation, commitment, and community connections in line with the school values of Respect, Responsibility, and Integrity. The wellbeing team strives to provide quality initiatives that inform students about living life well and support networks available to them, allowing them to connect, succeed and thrive in school and society. Students are encouraged to participate in a range of sporting and cultural opportunities, including learning about local Aboriginal culture. We offer extension and vocational education and training (VET) courses. Students have access to a broad range of post-school options within industry and tertiary education providers. All Stage 6 Science curricula are offered to students, with small classes and well-equipped laboratories and storerooms available. Science forms part of a combined cross-faculty staffroom.

Specific Selection Criteria

1. Approval to teach science and successful science teaching experience with knowledge of assessment, curriculum and reporting requirements and ability to deliver engaging lessons that cater to all students, including practical activities.
2. Consistently maintaining high expectations and positively supporting student behaviour.
3. Well-developed interpersonal, communication and organisational skills with the capacity to build and support relationships and work collaboratively with teachers, support staff, parents and external agencies.
