Role description
This is a twelve (12) month fixed term, full-time position commencing Term 1, 2027, with possible extension and/or permanency
Canning College has been preparing students to achieve entry into Australia’s leading universities since 1982. As a specialist international education institution, it has established a strong reputation for providing overseas students with the personal and academic development and pathways required to succeed in tertiary studies, including through the College’s signature programs.
In the five years from 2019, the College’s expert staff focused exclusively on providing pathway-to-university programs for international students. Flexible entry points into Canning College’s academic pathway programs allow international students to start studying in January, April, Mid-year and October, which gives them the opportunity to enter university degree courses sooner. In 2024, while continuing its focus on international students, the College reinstated the enrolment of domestic students into Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12. The College’s domestic students seek entry to university primarily through the signature Western Australian Universities’ Foundation Program (WAUFP) and Western Australian Certificate of Education ATAR courses.
Local and international students may enrol in Canning College’s Year 10 program, and Year 11 and Year 12 WACE/ATAR programs. A WACE General course is also available to domestic (local) students. International students and eligible local students can also seek to complete the Certificate IV in University Access Program or WAUFP. College staff…
