Are you an enthusiastic, reliable caring teacher or school officer (teacher's aide)?
If you answered YES, Townsville Catholic Education (TCE) is inviting you to register for supply opportunities across our Primary and Secondary schools in 2026.

As a teacher - in your classroom, you'll spark curiosity and a love of learning by delivering engaging lessons, setting clear expectations, and continually reflecting on your practice to keep improving. You'll use a range of tools to understand each student's progress, celebrate their growth, and give meaningful feedback that helps the students thrive.
