Gnowangerup is a small town with a diverse population just an hour and a half's drive north of Albany in WA's Great Southern region. That drive is through the magnificent Stirling Ranges - the state's premier hiking destination. Prosperous surrounding farms drive the local economy along with thriving light industrial businesses. Social life is often centred around sports - in which we are very competitive, but there is also a thriving arts scene in the region.
Gnowangerup District High School currently supports the education of 140 students from Kindergarten to Year 10. We have specialist teachers for secondary subjects, and our primary students benefit from this with high quality Duty Other Than Teaching (DOTT) provision. We are committed to distributed leadership and take the wellbeing of our staff and students seriously. We're at the start of a business planning cycle so several exciting changes will be underway during 2025.
As a valued member of our team, we envision you as a conscientious, flexible, and innovative educator deeply committed to the holistic development of every student. Actively engaging in both the school and wider community, you will reflect thoughtfully on your teaching practices and display a commitment to evidence-based decision-making and differentiation.
As a Design and Technology teacher, you will ideally deliver a curriculum tailored to the diverse needs of all students, focusing on workshop skills such as woodwork and metalwork, while fostering an environment where every student is empowered to reach their full potential. Your dedication to academic excellence and high-quality teaching and learning will set the standard for our learning community.
We place high value on your strong communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills, anticipating your active contribution to shaping and promoting the school's values, ethos, and priorities throughout the entire school community. Building positive relationships with students and fostering a passion for creating positive futures aligns seamlessly with our shared values and culture.
