Overview
ABOUT THE ROLE: Alice Miller School is seeking a secondary English and/or Humanities teacher for a Term 1 2026 start. We welcome qualifications and experience in English and/or Humanities disciplines (in particular, History, Civics, and/or Geography). Leadership opportunities are available for the right candidate.
OUR SCHOOL
Alice Miller School is a small, innovative and high-performing secondary school located in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, surrounded by beautiful areas of bush and irresistible wineries. We are fully subscribed with about 240 students from Years 7 to 12, with waiting lists for most year levels. Our founder was the celebrated educator and author, John Marsden, and our primary campus, Candlebark, is based in Romsey.
We value intellectual development, emotional growth, social skills, and artistic expression. Our school walks the line between a liberal, inclusive, welcoming, valuable-humoured, sensible climate, and a challenging curriculum requiring a healthy work ethic and an authentic commitment.
We believe that experience is one of the best foundations for learning. This means we have an active camp and excursion program, ranging from bike camps to ski trips, from spending time at music festivals to art galleries, from canoe trips to hikes, from visiting touring exhibitions to attending writers festivals. Quite a number of these trips are to other states or countries. We do all this while maintaining excellent academic rigour; our VCE results are amongst the best in the state.
KEY SELECTION CRITERIA
Demonstrated knowledge and experience in teaching secondary English and/or Humanities, with a focus on Years 7-10 program delivery.

A willingness to participate in Alice Miller School's extracurricular and adventure program.
