Full-time Teacher Position Available:

Child Side K-10 Independent School established 2003 and located in Boyanup (20 minutes from Bunbury) in the South West region, is seeking a new teacher to work in a full-time position alongside our current long-term, highly experienced teachers. Our 'small by design' K-10 school has a core, stable group of long term, active staff and families who are aligned with our highly researched and highly successful distinctive design, structure and pedagogy which has proven long term value for children, families and society. We are seeking a newly graduated teacher or an early experience level teacher who is seeking a collegial environment to build professional capacity and confidence to contribute towards making a real difference working within a distinctive teaching and learning design and culture. 

We use the WA Curriculum K-10 outline and the Early Years Learning Framework, but it is how we teach and learn at Child Side which is purposefully and distinctively  ‘different by design’. 

We use the sustainable development principle of 5 ways of working which encompasses:

1. Long term
2. Prevention
3. Integration
4. Collaboration  
5. Involvement ( which we use as our educational strategy of 3-way participation across staff, our Governing Council, Our families and of course with the children. See below)

3-way participation covers involvement across curriculum design and delivery, assessment and evaluation, staffing arrangements and resourcing. 

1. ‘Minds-on” participation- Academic, Knowledge and Thinking Competencies
2. “Hands-On” participation- Technical, Practical, Thinking, Ethical and Protective Behaviour Competencies  
3. “Interactions-with” participation- Communication, Social and Relationships, Thinking, Ethical and Protective Behaviour Competencies  

We are looking for a teacher who has the growth mindset to thrive as an adaptive life-long learner to participate (in 3-ways) in our teaching and learning design and collegial culture. Our collegiate design enables teachers to both learn and teach in meaningful and sustainable ways within a design and culture that values teachers. Over the decades Child Side students have continued to  demonstrate a strong capacity to use highly desirable competencies for further study, employment and navigating life beyond school. 

Please contact the school on 97 315232 to arrange a time to meet with the co-principals and find out more.
