Outdoor Education Teacher - Chum Creek

Wesley College Melbourne, a school of the Uniting Church, established in 1866, is one of Australia's leading and most respected co-educational independent schools.  With an enrolment of 3,400 students from ECLC to Year 12, it comprises three metropolitan campuses in Melbourne, at St Kilda Road, Glen Waverley and Elsternwick, outdoor education sites at Chum Creek, Mallana, Lochend and a Year 9 residential campus at Clunes.     

In addition to the Melbourne based campuses, Wesley College offers a remarkable sequence of outdoor experiences that we carefully layer into our school program from Years 3 to 10 on three Outdoor Education sites: Chum Creek (Healesville), Camp Mallana (Paynesville) and Lochend (Portland).  

Wesley College has a golden opportunity for an Outdoor Education Teacher to join the Outdoor Education team at Camp Chum Creek on a part-time (0.5 FTE) permanent position, commencing at the start of the 2027 School Year.

Our Chum Creek property is a hardtop camp on 300 acres of bushland, located in the Yarra Valley near Healesville.  In the forests and foothills of the Central Highlands, this region is important, beautiful and bountiful.  With close proximity to Melbourne, the place makes it a very accessible location for Years 3, 4, 5 and 7 programs, which focus on feeling comfortable within the natural environment, understanding ecological concepts, and introducing ways to enjoy the forests within the site.  Activities include bushwalking, camp craft skills, environmental education, high ropes and flying fox.
