About Karalundi Aboriginal Education Community

About the Opportunity

Key duties will include, but will not be limited to:
- Assisting the Principal in educational planning and program evaluation;
- Leading and mentoring educational staff;
- Actively assisting the Principal in promoting the Karalundi College educational program to parents/caregivers, family groups and regional communities; and
- Teaching one subject across 4 to 8 periods per week (ideally practical/life skills to aid students in gaining employment).
You will also be contributing to the development and implementation of Karalundi's objectives as well as the management and further development of school personnel, technology and resources to ensure optimum performance. Of course, you will consistently exercise a duty of care to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students within the care of the college.
