Role description
The McDonald College is an independent, non-denominational, co-educational K – 12 school located in North Strathfield.
We specialise in performing arts and elite sports, with an equal focus on academic rigour. Performance streams include Acting, Classical Ballet, Dance, Music, Musical Theatre, Technical Production and Elite Tennis.
Staff at The McDonald College are a small and dedicated team with a strong sense of community. Students are at the heart of everything we do, and we share in their passion for performance – whether that is on-stage, on a court or in the classroom.
An exciting opportunity exists for a NESA qualified teacher to be employed as our Head of English, and to lead the delivery of teaching and learning in this department from Year 7 to 12 with passion and commitment, creating an effective and challenging learning environment with high expectations of students and staff.
