Primary Classroom Teacher

Cairns Hinterland Steiner School welcomes applications from primary school educators who are ready to join our flourishing K-8 school. Our school seeks applications from nurturing and compassionate professionals who embrace the goals of Steiner Education.

CHSS is an independent school situated in Kuranda offering Kindergarten to Class 8. We are a co-educational and non-denominational school offering a curriculum based on the educational insights of Rudolf Steiner. We aim to encourage each child’s unique gifts and emerging potentials to unfold in a nurturing, imaginative and guided environment.

Classroom Teachers are responsible for the planning, implementation, and assessment of a quality educational program for primary-aged children, grounded solidly in the philosophy and principles of Steiner Education. The teacher works creatively, seeking to find a fresh connection to the developmental needs of the children.

Teachers will:

• be accountable for the teaching and pastoral care of their students, collaboratively engaging with peers across the School for the benefit of the children in their care, and the school as a whole.
• be committed to ongoing individual and collaborative professional development in Steiner education, wider educational developments and evidence-based practice.
• be responsible for maintaining positive relationships with colleagues and parents/guardians, and participate actively in the life of the school community.
• have capacity to support and educate parents about primary education in Steiner schools, while holding a conscious awareness of the role of the parents and guardians in their child’s education.
• be a fully Registered Teacher with Queensland College of Teachers.
• in all aspects of their role act with professionalism, accountability and camaraderie with all other staff members, and in accordance with the school’s visions and goals.

Applicants are required to disclose any information relevant to their eligibility or suitability to engage in activities involving children. Referee and identity checks will be carried out after the interview stage and only on successfully short-listed applicants. Applications should include your resume, three referees and a cover letter addressing the Selection Criteria.
