We are seeking to establish a pool of Primary Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Our School
At Busselton Primary School, our motto "Always Our Best" guides everything we do. We want every student to become an independent, lifelong learner, equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in a changing world.
We strive to provide a stimulating learning environment where students are supported by dedicated staff and an actively involved school community. Creating strong partnerships with parents, local community groups, businesses, and agencies is important to help us extend learning opportunities well beyond the classroom.
Inclusivity is central to who we are. We aim to celebrate and value the diversity of our community, including our strong connections with the local Wardandi Bibbulmun community, and create opportunities that enrich learning for all.
Our school features a modern cluster design, with classrooms linked to shared learning areas to encourage collaboration and connection. Specialist facilities for Languages other than English (LOTE), Technologies, and Science, along with a well-resourced Library and strong Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure, enrich the learning experience for all students. With purpose-built Early Childhood classrooms and a school-run playgroup on site, we are proud to support children and their families from the very beginning of their learning journey.
