Karumba State School is a small P-6 coastal school in the Gulf of Carpentaria, offering a supportive teaching environment with just ten students expected in 2026. With stunning Gulf sunsets, exceptional fishing and boating, and sole teacher accommodation in a quality unit, it offers an appealing lifestyle. As a HECS-HELP reduction school with strong professional support and mentoring, it provides an excellent pathway for early-career and experienced teachers alike.
This teaching role offers the chance to work closely with the Principal while leading engaging curriculum areas, including English, HASS / The Arts and HPE (with flexibility to negotiate). With exciting plans underway such as re-establishing the school's community garden, you will have scope to drive meaningful initiatives. This is an opportunity to help shape whole-school direction and make a visible impact.
