At Weston School, we pride ourselves on building strong connections with our tamariki and their whānau to support every child's learning, behavioural, and cultural needs. We are looking for teachers who bring a healthy mix of professional excellence and a great sense of humour to our staff.

Special passions: A strength or strong interest in Te Ao Māori and cultural practices, science and/or the environment would be an advantage.
