We are seeking to establish a pool of Special Needs Education Assistants 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.
Augusta Primary School (PS) is located on Wadandi Country in the beautiful seaside town of Augusta where the Indian and Southern Ocean meet, at the mouth of Blackwood River. In winter, the whales come annually to play off the Cape, and dolphins and stingrays are frequent visitors year-round.
