The Heart of the Role
The Middle School Science Teacher ignites curiosity and inspires discovery through the exploration of the natural world. In this role, you will nurture a sense of wonder in every boy — helping him to question, investigate, and understand how science shapes his world.
Working within the Science Faculty and under the guidance of the Head of Science, you will deliver engaging, well-structured lessons aligned with the NSW Science curriculum (Years 7–9). You will foster a learning environment that challenges and supports students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and develop confidence in scientific inquiry.
At The Scots College, you will contribute to a culture of learning, character, and Christian faith — where each boy is encouraged to strive for excellence and live with purpose.

You use data and feedback to guide your teaching, ensuring that learning is responsive to the needs and strengths of each student.
