We want teachers with a passion for education and a commitment to making a difference in the lives of young learners.
Whether you are a newly graduated or an experienced teacher, if your practice is founded on unconditional positive regard and the belief that young people can re-engage with learning and experience success through a strengths-based approach to education, then this role may be for you!
As an independent special assistance school (Years 9 to 12) with a growing national network of campuses, Indie School aims to re-engage students with learning, improve their literacy and numeracy skills, and help them find their future pathway, whether it be returning to a mainstream school, engaging in post-secondary study, or joining the workforce.
Indie School provides young people with the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment using the principles of adult education: agency, independence, mutual respect, and accountability.
Small classes (maximum 15 students), individual plans, expertly created units of work, and specialized employees assist our students in using their strengths to develop understanding and skills in their areas of challenge.
At Indie School, we believe that education is not only about imparting knowledge but also about empowering students to become confident, independent thinkers and problem solvers.
We are looking for teachers who can bring creativity, enthusiasm, and a commitment to student-centered learning to our team.
Through prioritizing safety, respect, and engagement, we create a culture in our school that facilitates belonging and success.
Students enjoy flexible timetables (students attend Monday to Thursday), no uniforms, and the provision of meals, allowing us to concentrate on the key facets of an optimal learning environment – regulation, relationship, and routine.
