About the role
Commencing Term 1, 2027 Located in the heart of a supportive and engaged community, our school is a whānau rooted in core values that guide both our staff and ākonga. You will be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking team that genuinely enjoys the professional camaraderie of a close-knit staffroom. We are looking for an educator who understands the unique developmental stages of primary students and nurture foundational learning in our junior space. As a full-time staff member, you will fully immerse yourself in our school culture, supporting the pastoral care and academic growth of your students while contributing your unique strengths to our wider school programmes. We are specifically seeking a New Zealand trained and registered teacher with a deep understanding of our local educational landscape. Ideal candidates will demonstrate fluency in The New Zealand Curriculum , particularly in tailoring literacy and numeracy to meet diverse learning needs. You will hold a genuine commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, integrating te reo Māori and tikanga naturally into your daily practice, alongside a Kiwi knack for flexibility and resourcefulness. We value teachers who prioritise relationship-based learning, strive for academic success, build strong bonds with whānau, and love to muck in with school-wide events. In return, we offer a supportive leadership team, access to quality professional development, and a community that treasures its kaiako.
