Position Information
Ashmont Public School is located on the western side of Wagga Wagga with a student population of 296, 57% being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.
An environment of high expectations for all staff and students exists within the school where we have a highly trained staff, including two Assistant Principals, Instruction and Curriculum who lead school professional learning in Literacy and Numeracy and provide continuous evaluation and analysis of data to inform and direct teaching and learning across the school. The use of funding from the School Budget Allocation Resource has enabled us to employ additional staff to support our students through reduced class sizes, School Learning Support Officers, an Aboriginal Education Officer and Literacy and Numeracy Interventionists. Ashmont also has two department-funded multi-category classes.
As a Resilience Project school, a focus on student wellbeing underpins a positive learning environment, in which experienced and early career teachers work together collaboratively to provide quality teaching and learning experiences for students.

- Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to contribute to whole-school culture and work collaboratively to build positive relationships with students, staff, parents/carers, external agencies and members of the wider community.
- Evidence of successful classroom management with flexible and adaptive strategies that create a positive learning workplace, including the use of early intervention strategies.
