Scale A junior to middle school teacher

Scale A junior to middle school teacher

Suitable for beginning teachers

We seek a scale A teacher to lead a 2 year mixed level class in the Y1–4 range (we have some flexibility). The successful candidate will value the Voice, Agency and Identity (VAI) of all learners to join our wonderfully diverse community in Porirua.

Be ready to be supported with rich professional development targeted at accelerating progress in literacy and developing our understanding of the neuroscience behind how the brain learns. At the same time come with the desire to question and be questioned to drive culturally responsive, collaborative improvement. We need your great ideas to provide amazing hands-on life experiences each week alongside your team.





Your input to discussion will help shape the direction of the school and the future for our learners.

To provide balance and opportunities to practice self care, we offer approximately 2 blocks of release as a syndicate every week, reducing meetings and opening opportunities for collaboration, induction and ongoing support. After successfully trialing this in 2024, our teachers told us they have found their weekends again and are still fully planned for Mondays!

The Attitude of Gratitude would be advantageous. (A conscious decision to give and receive a deeper expression of appreciation and acknowledgement of others. It is a positive emotion which is self replicating, elicits joyfulness, builds social relationships and has a positive effect on the well being of all.)

Visiting our school is strongly recommended and making time to have a hot drink and a chat with the principal Jason Ataera would be warmly received.

This fixed-term position is starting 28 January 2025.





Applications close 5 November with interviews completed and the successful candidate notified by Friday 15 November.
