Junior School Teacher

Teacher – Junior School

12 month, fixed-term position (with the possibility of ongoing) commencing Term 1 2026

The Hale Junior School is a community of approximately 400 boys and their parents, and over 50 staff.  Being the point of entry for many boys, the Junior School is an integral component of the wider School community.  For this reason, we enjoy the support, facilities and sense of pride evident across the whole School. Following the completion of an extensive building project, three learning centres were completed in 2018. The Lower Junior, Middle Junior and Upper Junior accommodates two streams of classes from Pre-Primary to Year 3 and three streams from Year 4 to Year 6.

Hale School is seeking applications from enthusiastic and dynamic education professionals for a teaching role in our Junior School. Our Junior School teachers provide the boys a sphere of opportunities to explore the world around them through a diverse curriculum delivered by knowledgeable, passionate and engaging teachers. Our teaching team collaboratively crafts inspiring learning experiences to ensure all boys, regardless of their starting points, are achieving a level of success and the chance to flourish. Our classrooms are a constant place of discovery, curiosity, and fun. Teaching and learning is developed from the underlying belief that every boy needs to be equipped to become a life-long learner. Active engagement rather than passive recipients of information is central to our teaching and learning approach. We aim for our boys to be able to think for themselves, solve a realm of problems, challenge ideas and think creatively and critically.

The successful applicant will teach a class of approximately 26 boys in either a lower, middle or upper Junior School classroom. The successful applicant will work collaboratively with the broader Junior School team. 

The Junior School team prides itself on high levels of collaboration and collegiality, student engagement, and creative and reflective learning programs that directly respond to student needs.  Year level teams regularly meet with Junior School Executive who facilitate and monitor innovation and implementation, and the successful applicant will be an integral part of the whole Junior School team and bring an outstanding level of educational knowledge, energy, optimism and collegiality to the Junior School context.

The successful applicant will:

• hold appropriate academic and teaching qualifications.

• experience working in high-functioning teams.

• be familiar with the Western Australian Curriculum.

• have an understanding of, and empathy for, the learning needs and social, emotional, and spiritual development of boys.

• have a firm commitment to independent schooling and be in sympathy with the Christian ethos of the School.

• be eligible to teach within Western Australia. This will involve associated Police Clearances, registration with the Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia (TRBWA) and a current Working with Children (WWC) Check.
