Life Sciences Teacher (Independent High School)

Teach at a public high school in Epping where your planning, marking and patience all count. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Epping-based, with most of your time spent at a public high school.

• Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP
• Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
• Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
• Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct
• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them

• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase

• Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
• Fee discount for your own children at independent schools
• School holidays in line with the school calendar

• Put your SACE number, phase and subjects on the first line of your CV; heads sort applications by subject first.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
