Working at our school​

​​​​​​​

Epic educators wanted! 

Two positions available - a fixed term maternity cover from the start of term 2, and a permanent role from the start of term 3.

 

We are looking for pedagogically rich teachers who are active in developing their practice.  We follow the structured literacy approach, and the Maths No Problem programme - previous experience, knowledge or a passion for these approaches will be an advantage.

The successful candidate will:

• Have a current New Zealand teaching registration and recent experience of the New Zealand curriculum;

• Be a contributing team player with the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, whānau and children;

• Be competent in using IT tools as both teaching resources and as a means to communicate meaningfully with whānau and colleagues (we are an Apple Distinguished School); 

• Have awesome classroom management skills honed in an MLE environment;

• Be a colleague who ‘steps forward’ rather than back;

• Be a hands-on teacher who joins in the games, the sports and the fun!

 

In return, we offer:

• A genuinely supportive working environment;

• Beautiful, modern, well-equipped working spaces;

• Amazing colleagues!  We have a very low staff turnover, so all of our staff are knowledgeable and keen to share their expertise about how we operate here;

• A supportive and positive whānau community;

• Great PD and opportunities for professional growth.

 

Our application includes these questions:

• What inspires you about our school?

• How are you personally developing your practice (e.g. personal learning)?

• What extra skills will you bring to our school - what is your passion?

A bit about us…

Our school is a tight-knit community of whānau, teachers and support staff who are committed to helping all of our tamariki “be the somebody”.

 

We are a purpose-built MLE school, the first to be built as part of the Canterbury rebuild. Prior to moving to our new school site in 2014, the school was located in Waikuku and celebrated its 140th anniversary there in 2013.   

    

All our children and teachers are in ACTive Learning Spaces (ALS), usually with two year groups mixed into home groups. Each ALS operates with a team of teachers and teacher aides.  Our vision is to challenge and inspire adventurers, creators and thinkers. 

 

We are passionate about collaborative teaching and learning, and nurturing our kids to be Kaitiaki (guardians) and we place huge value on engaging our community in all aspects of school life.  

 

We think our school is a very exciting and rewarding place to teach and learn.  If you are totally committed to working in a dynamic team environment where reflection and continual growth is not just expected, it is demanded then please get in touch.
