Role description
Oscar Romero Catholic Primary School is seeking an exceptional, faith-filled leader to join our community as Deputy Principal / Learning and Teaching Leader.
Located in the heart of Craigieburn West, our school is a vibrant, culturally rich and rapidly growing community of more than 690 students and 80 staff. Established in 2018, we proudly serve families within the Parish of Our Lady’s, Craigieburn and Roxburgh Park. Our school motto, inspired by St Oscar Romero, “Aspire not to have more, but to be more” guides our identity, culture and aspirations.
We are a school marked by strong enrolment demand, a richly diverse student population and a dedicated staff committed to high-impact, evidence-informed teaching. Our approach to learning is forward-looking and shaped by the MACS Vision for Instruction and Vision for Engagement. Our Catholic identity is lived through prayer, liturgy, social justice and the full sacramental life of the Church. As we continue to grow, the opening of the Oscar Romero Children’s Hub (MACSEYE) in 2026 and the development of our new multipurpose facility in 2027 will further strengthen our capacity to serve our growing community.
Guided by the MACS2030 Strategy: Forming Lives to Enrich the World, we are committed to ensuring every child is known, valued and supported to flourish academically, spiritually and socially. Our vision calls us to be “a faith-filled learning community, committed to the teachings of Jesus, where at the heart of learning is hope and a desire for each learner to fully flourish.”
