Oscar Romero Catholic Primary School is seeking an exceptional, faith-filled leader to join our community as Deputy Principal / Learning and Teaching Leader.

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.
