• Small class sizes for real connection and individualised teaching.

• Weekly professional development and coaching, including entrepreneurial mindset training.
• A peaceful, structured space where each child is known, supported, and celebrated.

• Integrate coding and robotics into entrepreneurial themes, lesson plans, innings and outings.
• Work collaboratively with fellow educators and attend weekly development sessions.
• Communicate clearly and kindly with parents to foster trust and partnership.

• SACE-registered with permanent certification
• 5–7 years’ experience teaching in primary schools
• Strong experience in teaching coding and robotics (especially Scratch) to young learners
• Familiarity with Inspire Africa’s coding curriculum is an advantage (but not essential)
• Strong classroom management with a gentle, nurturing approach
• Comfortable working in a small, innovative school environment
• Passionate about preparing children for a tech-forward, entrepreneurial future
