Job Description Location: Melbourne | Southern Metropolitan Job type: Full time / From 28/01/2025 Organisation: Schools (Government) Salary: Salary not specified Occupation: Education and Training Reference: 1442628 Location Profile Are you seeking a vibrant teaching environment that is more than just a workplace? We are seeking passionate teachers to join our esteemed team for the 2025 school year and beyond.
Western Port Secondary College is conveniently located at 215 High Street, Hastings.
Getting here is a breeze: just a 15-minute drive from Pearcedale, Somerville, and Tyabb, a 20-minute commute down the Western Port highway from Cranbourne, or Langwarrin.
Peninsula link (toll free) makes the commute from Frankston and surrounding suburbs of Seaford, Carrum and Patterson Lakes a smooth 25-minute drive.
Imagine joining a school where the Principal, Leaders and staff are deeply involved in daily life, actively supporting each other to foster an environment that reflects our Western Port Way.
Are you seeking a school with an amazing staff who collectively support and build each other up, and who truly get along and enjoy working together? With a hands-on approach, you'll find the Principal Class actively engaged in the college community, visible daily at the school gate, in and around classrooms, on yard duty, supporting School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) processes and interacting with the students.
Are you looking for a school that has high standards where students are respectful and well behaved, displaying positive attitudes and a strong eagerness to learn? Our college ensures from the moment students walk in they are on time, ready to learn and equipped to engage in a harmonious and productive classroom atmosphere, where both teaching and learning are highly effective and enjoyable.
In line with our supportive and well-resourced school, our college has experienced significant growth.
By 2025, we anticipate our student enrolment numbers to range between 700 and 800 students, making us a beautifully sized secondary college.
Big enough to offer the full suite of VCE subjects, but small enough to know every student by name and build relationships with families.
This opportunity to join our college is perfectly timed for aspirant leaders, with the full School Improvement Team (SIT) positions ending their tenure at the end of 2025.
Aspirant or experienced leaders wanting to join a tremendous team and who are looking for teachers with similar values: collaborative, trusting, hard-working, dedicated, committed, flexible in their thinking, open, and most importantly, a willingness to make the workplace enjoyable! At Western Port Secondary College, we strongly encourage and model work/life balance.
School starts at 8:30 am and concludes at 3:00 pm.
This means that on a meeting night, staff are leaving at 4:30 pm or on a non-meeting night, 3:30 pm.
We have brand-new, modern facilities, including a 12 million dollar architecturally designed Senior and Junior Hub and dedicated Wellbeing Wing, domestic and industrial kitchens, science labs, visual arts, and performing arts spaces, a gymnasium as well as expansive, manicured grounds.
Now you could read this, think that this college is desperate for teachers and will write anything to attract staff, or you could listen to what the staff have said about our college.
So, what about our student attitudes towards school? Just have a look how they view our school and their experiences.
If you have doubts about the Staff Opinion Survey or Student Attitudes to School survey results, we encourage you look over our social media profile and read through the comments from staff members and our families.
So, who can apply? We value the skills and experiences of teachers with both Primary and Secondary qualifications! If you're a current teacher, working in a government or non-government school, a fresh graduate, Permission to Teach (PTT) or just starting out in the teaching world, we want to hear from you.
If after reading our profile, if you are at all interested in this exceptional opportunity, we urge you to reach out to our Principal, Chris Quinn.
His profound passion for showcasing our school extends to providing an immersive firsthand experience of what it truly means to work at Western Port Secondary College.
