**Introduction**:
The opportunity
At Carey, the primary responsibility of our Teachers is to plan, prepare and teach programs to achieve specific student outcomes.
**Teachers are expected to**:
- Teach classes as timetabled using various strategies appropriate to the Learning Area, recognising and providing for individual differences in students.
- Monitor, evaluate and report student progress in key learning areas.
- Maintain good discipline in the classroom, and within wider College settings, on outings and at camps.
- Maintain records of class attendance.
- Implement effective student management consistent with the College policies.
- Demonstrate care and concern for the spiritual, emotional, social, and academic development of students.
- Communicate information about student wellbeing to Year Managers and relevant pastoral care staff in a timely manner.
- Actively contribute to the wider life of the College including pastoral care, camps and sport.
- Work co-operatively with College Leadership and colleagues to ensure the smooth running of the College.
**Child Safe Principles and Our Code of Conduct**:
We hold our responsibility to provide a child-safe environment in accordance with the child-safe standards seriously. As the College has a duty of care to its students, the expectation and understanding is that all staff will act in the best interests of the students and that the welfare and safety of students will be of paramount concern. Staff are expected to behave in a manner which promotes the safeguarding role of the College, in a manner which is in accord with College expectations, professional expectations, and best practice of the teaching profession, as well as the expected norms of our community.
**Our Christian Faith**:
At the heart of our mission lies our Christian faith. Secondary learning takes place within a faith-based values system that encourages students to become independent, creative, and flexible learners. This, together with a strong sense of responsibility to their community, reflects the best traditions of an independent Baptist education.
