The Role
This is an outstanding opportunity to be part of a growing school and staff committed to success for all students through the delivery of quality teaching, differentiated pathways based on student needs and the provision of a positive, supportive, and inclusive classroom and college environment.
The successful applicant should be committed to promoting and fostering student engagement and academic achievement in a supportive environment. Commitment to personal and professional growth, high standards of professionalism and a willingness to embrace opportunities for collaboration within the College, across the network and with neighbouring schools is advantageous.
You will ideally be student and relationship focused, innovative and motivated, with the ability to work collaboratively in team environments. The successful applicant ideally will be able to build and sustain positive working relationships with students to maximise student outcomes. Professional knowledge, understandings, and experience to develop and implement an engaging and relevant secondary school Mathematics curriculum will be well regarded. In addition to Mathematics, knowledge, skills and a passion for teaching Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) and/or Science is also highly desirable for this role.
Experience in teaching senior school Mathematics courses – both Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and General, is desirable but not essential. As an expert practitioner you should possess a commitment to excellence in teaching and engage in regular self-reflection. Another key attribute is the ability to create environments conducive to learning and differentiate educational opportunities that are purposeful and relevant, catering to different student learning needs.
In this role, the successful applicant will ideally develop innovative classroom practices utilising the college’s cutting-edge Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and should exhibit an understanding of High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS). In this environment you should provide integrated, personalised and authentic learning experiences for students.
The College has a strong Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEAM) focus, working in a collaborative partnership with local primary schools, industry and tertiary education. A commitment to the college’s emphasis on academic progress, co-curricular programs, and positive whole-college culture building initiatives will be highly regarded.
