Curriculum Designer - Wilson Bay (Fixed Term)

Saint Kentigern is a leader among independent schools in Australasia, providing a high-quality, values-based Presbyterian education.

Our newly acquired Wilson Bay Campus (a rural and sustainable farm) creates opportunities that reach across our Saint Kentigern community - students, staff, families, alumni, and partners. These opportunities, experiences, and connections will help foster an interconnected community through which students learn to lead with purpose and contribute positively to their communities, country, and beyond.

Wilson Bay Farm marks the beginning of a new chapter - a continuation of our founding purpose : a legacy shaped by faith, made possible by the community, and called forward by a vision too important to ignore.
