About the Organisation
Yakanarra Community School works closely with the local community to make sure each student is well taken care of in all areas of their lives, not just education.
Approximately 60 kilometres south-west of Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia, Yakanarra is a small Aboriginal community within the Shire of Derby-West Kimberley. Road access is via the Cherabun Road which intersects the Great Northern Highway 57 km east of Fitzroy Crossing.
School aged children in the Yakanarra community attend the Yakanarra Community School. Established in 1991, the school conducts classes from pre-school to year 10 and caters for approximately 20 primary students and 10 junior secondary students.
About the Opportunity
Yakanarra Community School has a new opportunity for a full-time Teacher to join their team in the St Georges Ranges, WA.
Reporting to the School Principal, you will be leading a mixed age classroom of up to 10 students from grades 7-10, across a range of learning levels.
You will be in charge of general teaching and assessment, planning and delivering personalised learning plans with a focus on numeracy, literacy, language, and culture, and leading a range of units, both in the classroom and out 'on country'.
If you would be relocating with a partner, additional arrangements could be made if they have any skills or experience that could benefit the school.
About You
