The successful applicant will ideally be a creative community minded leader who is passionate about incorporating Aboriginal culture and community involvement in order to make collaborative decisions about how Rangeway PS can be a place for high level teaching and learning.
The successful applicant should effectively manage student behaviour and knowledge of Trauma Informed Practice and Positive Behaviour Implementation will be highly regarded. You will ideally be able to manage a range of operational duties including student behaviour, human resourcing and interagency support in what can sometimes be a dynamic and quickly changing environment. The successful applicant will ideally possess the ability to promote cohesive relationships amongst colleagues to foster a collaborative and supportive team approach within the school.
