Role description
Wanted: Literary Legend & Humanities Hero!
Balaklava High School is on the hunt for a passionate English & HASS teacher to join our vibrant team - part educator, part storyteller, and full-time champion of culture. Just 55 minutes from Adelaide, we offer brilliant students, a supportive staff culture, and modern facilities - the Blockbuster Trilogy of country schools.
If you can make Shakespeare as binge-worthy as Netflix, turn essays into quests as epic as The Lord of the Rings, spark debates hotter than a Survivor tribal council, and bring history to life with the twists of Hamilton (singing optional but encouraged), this could be your next adventure. Bonus points for a clever Jane Austen burn while fixing grammar.
Why BHS?
*Creative students (some already write essays longer than A Song of Ice and Fire)
*Supportive, down-to-earth team that values collaboration, laughs, and the occasional pun
*Modern resources that make teaching more Marvel than mayhem
*Leadership that champions ideas & professional growth
*Country lifestyle - fresh air, zero traffic, & community spirit
You'll be:
*Delivering engaging lessons without letting the red pen win
*Helping students craft arguments sharper than Katniss Everdeen's aim
*Exploring stories, history, & cultures that spark curiosity & laughter
*Creating a safe & inclusive classroom
Whether you're a seasoned teacher or a fresh grad ready to start your hero's journey, BHS could be the perfect stage for your next chapter. So, red pen ready. Books open. Hit apply - and bring your passion for stories, ideas, & a touch of liter…
