Role description
This is a 6 month fixed term, part-time (0.8FTE) position commencing Term 1, 2027 with possible extension (12 months) and/or permanency
Established in 1899, Parkerville Primary School has been offering families a quality education for their children for over a century. Growing from a one-roomed building in the heart of Parkerville before moving to the current location in 1962, the school is surrounded by the tranquil Jarrah forests synonymous with the Perth Hills area.
The beautiful bush location of our school gives us the opportunity to connect with the environment, play in nature and take advantage of the research that suggests that children and adults who are surrounded by nature are less stressed. We have 2 dedicated areas for playing in our natural bush setting and those areas also double as outdoor classrooms, capturing the curriculum in context.
