2025 - Classroom Teacher - Politics

Location ProfileMuch like the town of Williamstown itself, Williamstown High School is steeped in a rich history.
The Yalukit-willam clan of the Kulin nation were the first people to live where our two campuses are situated, and they called it "koort-boork-boork", meaning "She-oak, She-oak, many" - a reference to the abundance of She-oak trees across the Hobson's Bay municipality.
Today, the school maintains a focus on the environment with the Bayview Middle Years (7-9) Campus being located on the Port Phillip Bay waterfront, and featuring award-winning and environmentally sustainable building designs.
The adjacent Jawbone Marine Sanctuary has also enabled the creation of an engaging and environmentally focused curriculum for students, that reflects the unique surroundings, and is complemented by our Marine Science program.
The Pasco Later Years (10-12) Campus comprises a unique variety of architectural styles.
Our oldest school building dates from 1867, and the most recent addition, our Centenary Theatre, opened in April 2017, contributing to a visually interesting and mature learning environment to meet the needs of our students as they move towards VCE studies.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS
A Williamstown High School education supports students to ¿Be Respectful, Be a Learner and Be Safe¿ - a message we have carefully crafted as a lead school in School Wide Positive Behaviours Support (SWPBS), and which is immediately visible throughout the school environment and enthusiastically supported by our 125 teachers and 30 ES Staff.

We create a dynamic learning culture that promotes integrity, innovation and the individual, and that values:
· excellence and creativity in our achievements and ambitions
· integrity and honesty in our actions and relationships
