About Us
We offer a full-time and multi-year secondary education program for young people who have disengaged from mainstream schooling. Young people typically express a broad range of complex education and social needs, and flexible schools respond with various teaching and learning practices, including vocational planning and the development of social connectedness.
The purpose of our school is to provide young people with a varied and holistic set of learning experiences that enable them to identify and pursue an individual transition to adulthood, employment, further education and training, and social connectedness.
Key Responsibilities
We are seeking a qualified educator to plan, prepare, and deliver effective learning and teaching programs for young people with learning difficulties and learning gaps. Our students work at upper primary, middle, and senior phases of secondary education.
We encourage collaboration in the development and implementation of our school's objectives and planning.
We foster a supportive school environment that promotes the well-being of all students and staff.
Our educator will contribute to accountability processes, including reporting, individual personal learning plans, and requirements for NCCD.
