Communication & Collaboration : Working seamlessly within the Phase 1 team and establishing strong partnerships.

Character & Citizenship : Modelling kindness and self-management, while connecting foundational learning to community values.

Culture : We are looking for a practitioner who places Culture at the heart of their practice, championing diversity and ensuring every young student's identity is honoured and celebrated.

Optional leadership opportunity : Phase 1 whanau leader

For experienced, visionary candidates, we offer the opportunity to also apply for the role of Phase 1 whanau leader.

As whanau leader, you will :

Inspire and Mentor : Foster professional growth within your team through coaching and collaborative planning for early years pedagogy.

Oversee Student Wellbeing : Champion the pastoral care and academic success of all Phase 1 students, establishing positive routines.

Innovate & Champion : Lead the implementation of effective foundational teaching and learning practices across the phase.

Collaborate : Ensure cohesion and consistency across Y1, 2 and 3, aligning practice with the school's overall vision.

If you are committed to making a profound difference in the lives of our students and staff, and eager to contribute to a collaborative and forward-thinking school environment, we encourage you to apply and indicate your interest in the leadership role.
