2027 Preschool Teacher

In 2027, there is an opening to join the Blue Gum Community School team as a Full-time Preschool Teacher. We are looking for a switched-on, passionate Early Childhood Teacher who is committed to excellence and inspired by Reggio Emilia!

This role will be to fill the shoes of one of our fabulous Early Childhood team members, who is heading overseas on a teaching adventure! In replacing her, you will be positioned alongside our Preschool Class Director, in the provision of a program characterised by group research, engagement and best-practice.

In this role you will also have the opportunity to work alongside the whole team and Jill McLachlan, our School Principal, to be a part of the school’s ongoing teacher research, looking closely at the practice of pedagogical documentation (inspired by the educational project in Reggio Emilia), the importance of the social construction of knowledge and exploring the powerful role we play as teachers of young children. This is an opportunity to lean into the artistry and wonders of teaching, in an atmosphere characterised by collaboration and joy!

This role will allow the right candidate to step into the world of Blue Gum for a term, to see and learn from how we work, and to experience that hopeful and meaningful teaching is possible in Early Childhood! This is a rare opportunity for the right person! Could we be looking for you?

If you are the right person for this unique opportunity, we would also want to learn from you, so make sure you let us know what you could bring to Blue Gum in your cover letter! What are you passionate about?…
