The successful candidate will join a school where professional learning is valued and where staff wellbeing and collaboration sit at the heart of our culture.

At Franciscan, teaching and learning is rooted in research-informed practice. Staff engage in ongoing professional dialogue, coaching and CPD focused on strong curriculum design, adaptive teaching and disciplinary literacy. Whether you are at the beginning of your career or bring extensive classroom experience, you will be supported to grow and thrive.
