About the Role
Canberra Grammar School is seeking an exceptional educational leader to shape the future of learning beyond the core curriculum.
The Director of Educational Opportunities provides strategic leadership across academic enrichment and scholarships, extended and independent learning, careers and tertiary guidance, and global education. The Director brings these areas together into a coherent and distinctive programme that ensures the School’s commitment to challenge, aspiration and opportunity is reflected in the lived experience of every Senior School student.
This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role. The Director will shape the School’s vision while remaining actively engaged in the mentoring, study programmes and student opportunities they lead. The role also includes regular commitments outside standard school hours, including evening and vacation study programmes.
As one of the Senior School’s most externally connected leaders, the Director will build influential relationships with universities, global partner schools, professional bodies and enrichment providers. Working closely with the Community Development Office and senior colleagues across the School, they will expand pathways, partnerships and opportunities that prepare students to thrive beyond CGS.
