Role description

We're excited to introduce Auslan as part of our specialist learning program in 2027 and we're looking for someone passionate about the language and Deaf culture to help us make it something special.

At St Kevin's, we believe teaching is an act of love. We are a Christ-centred Catholic school where children, families and staff are known, welcomed and supported to thrive. Our community is proudly multicultural, grounded in love, service and respect.
