The Hopevale Campus is located in the Indigenous community of Hopevale, around a 45 minute drive north-west of Cooktown and approximately 370km north of Cairns.
At CYAAA, our approach to education puts each child at the centre, guided by the belief that every student can succeed. This is supported by two key focus areas:
Effective teaching, through high-quality programs, ongoing professional learning, and a strong commitment to continuous improvement
Student wellbeing, supported by the Every Child is Special program, which is evidence-based and fosters strong family and community connections
We are currently seeking two Primary Teachers (Prep-6) to join our Hopevale campus in full-time, permanent positions.
This is an exciting opportunity for passionate and committed educators to become part of a supportive school community, build strong relationships with students and families, and make a lasting impact on student learning and outcomes.
