Full Job Description

Canterbury College is an Anglican ELC-12 coeducational independent school of approximately 1,700 students located in Waterford, Queensland, serving the Logan, northern Gold Coast and southern Brisbane corridor. Founded in 1987, the College operates under a "World Ready" strategic brand, holds Microsoft Showcase and Lighthouse School status, and is a member of the Round Square international network of schools. Canterbury is a proud member of the Anglican Schools Commission, and a founding member of The Associated Schools, Brisbane's premier coeducational sporting association for independent schools.

Canterbury is a community of ambition, educating students for a complex and interconnected world within a framework of Anglican values and a genuine commitment to character formation. The World Ready commitment rests on the conviction that an education which produces academic results alone is an incomplete one. The breadth of the College's academic and co-curricular programme is built on that premise, Staff are appointed on the understanding that they will contribute to the whole of a student's formation.

Ultimately however, Canterbury is an academic school with high percentages of ATAR eligible students and performance amongst the top coeducational schools in the state.

About the Role:

The Creative Industries Faculty unites the arts and technology disciplines around a single intellectual method: the disciplined cycle of designing, making and appraising. Students conceive an idea, render it in a resistant medium, and then submit the result to informed critical judgement, their own and that of others. Whether the medium is timber, clay, sound, light, the moving image, the body in performance or food, the approach is pedagogically aligned.

The faculty offers the following disciplines across Years 7 to 12, taught within the Australian Curriculum v9.0 in The Arts and in Technologies to Year 10, and within QCAA General and Applied syllabuses in Years 11 and 12.

Visual Art
Music, Music Extension
Drama
Dance
Film, Television and New Media
Design and Industrial Technology – Design, Furnishing, Construction Studies
Food and Hospitality

Position Purpose:

The Head of Faculty: Creative Industries leads the academic, pedagogical and public work of the faculty across Years 7 to 12. The incumbent is directly accountable for the standard of teaching in every subject the faculty offers, the coherence and currency of its curriculum, the integrity of its assessment, and the visibility of student work in the life of the College.

Breadth is the defining feature of this role. No candidate will hold deep disciplinary expertise across the visual arts, the performing arts, the media arts, the design and industrial technologies and food and hospitality, and none is expected to. What is expected is the professional confidence to lead specialists whose craft differs from one's own, the willingness to be taught by them, and the judgement to recognise excellent teaching whether it occurs in a studio, a rehearsal room, a workshop or a commercial kitchen. The incumbent will also coordinate at least one subject area directly and teach a fraction of 0.6.

Key Responsibilities and Duties:

In this role, you will:

Lead curriculum development, innovation and continuous improvement across Creative Arts and Technologies disciplines.
Drive excellence in teaching, learning and assessment, ensuring high-quality student outcomes and compliance with curriculum and syllabus requirements.
Build and lead a high-performing team of teachers, coordinators, technicians and support staff through coaching, professional development and accountability.
Develop engaging student pathways that grow participation and success in senior Creative Industries subjects.
Lead the faculty's approach to teaching and learning in an AI-enabled world, ensuring emerging technologies enhance rather than replace authentic skill development.
Foster a culture of collaboration, instructional excellence and continuous improvement.
Oversee specialised teaching facilities, ensuring safe, contemporary and effective learning environments.
Manage faculty resources, budgeting and strategic planning to support both current and future educational priorities.

About You

You are an experienced and respected educational leader who is passionate about student achievement, curriculum excellence and developing people.

You will bring:

Demonstrated success as a classroom practitioner and curriculum leader, with experience through to Year 12.
The ability to lead diverse specialist disciplines with confidence, curiosity and humility.
Experience building collaborative, high-performing teams and developing future leaders.
A track record of leading innovation and change that has improved student learning outcomes.
Strong organisational, financial and stakeholder management skills.
Experience or interest in the impact of AI and emerging technologies on teaching, learning and assessment.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with students, staff and families.

Essential Qualifications and Licenses

Current registration with the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT).
Tertiary qualifications in a discipline within the faculty.
Demonstrated capacity to teach and assess to Year 12 level in at least one faculty subject area, preferably two.
Current right to work in Australia.
Commitment to the Anglican ethos and values of the College.
Capacity to undertake a 0.6 teaching load within the Senior School.
Willingness to actively contribute to the College's co-curricular program.
Availability to support faculty events and public programs, including occasional evenings and weekends
