Role description
North Coast Region, School and Regional Operations and Performance Division
Lead where it matters. Build what lasts.
Maryborough State High School is seeking a dynamic Head of Department - Humanities and Languages to lead a high-performing team in a Triple National Award-winning school with a proud 150-year legacy—and an even bigger future.
This is not a maintenance role. It's a chance to shape direction, lift ambition, and challenge both staff and students to think bigger about what's possible.
You'll drive excellence in teaching and learning across Humanities and Languages, while also taking strategic responsibility for a Year Level—setting the tone for culture, expectations, and student success.
If you’re ready to influence beyond your faculty, inspire a community, and leave a mark on both people and outcomes—this is your role.
Step into leadership that matters.
