Role description
We are seeking to establish a pool of Primary Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
We anticipate a number of positions will be available from the commencement of the 2027 school year due to staff secondments and leave arrangements. Opportunities may include classroom teaching positions across Early Childhood Education, middle and upper primary, as well as specialist roles in Physical Education and Learning Support/Student Services coordination.
Newton Primary School has been part of the Spearwood community since 1981, when the school first opened with 156 students. Today, we are a vibrant Kindergarten to Year 6 school of approximately 330 students, proud of our history and excited about our future. Located on Marvell Avenue, around 10 kilometres south of Fremantle, Newton sits within a community with strong local roots.
Our school community is wonderfully diverse, with students and families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. We are also proud to welcome second-generation Newton families, with many parents choosing for their children the same school they attended themselves.
