Nestled in a stunning rural setting, a short drive from Papakura. Te Hihi combines a proud heritage with modern resources. We’re a school where the kids run barefoot, climb trees during break times, and eagerly anticipate our annual Ag Day. We embrace our rural character while fostering a dynamic, fun, and nurturing learning environment.

We’re on the lookout for a teacher to work across two classes our 5–6 class and our 7–8 class to support the 2 existing teachers. You will be teaching 2 maths lessons a day, so here is your chance to really get into the Maths No Problem materials. If you are keen and have a knack for engaging young minds, we’d love to hear from you.

We value flexibility and adaptability. We need a teacher who can think on their feet, embrace change, and work creatively in an environment that encourages getting stuck in.

At Te Hihi, we live by our core values of Character, Kindness, and Courtesy. We are proud to be a PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning) school and are excited to be embarking on our Mitey journey this year.

The applicants will need to be fully registered, have a current NZ work visa. The terms and conditions, including base salary, for this position is set by the relevant collective agreement.
