Position Descriptor:
Minlaton District School is seeking a passionate English and HASS teacher to join our R-12 team from the beginning of 2027.

Build a rewarding career while enjoying an exceptional coastal-country lifestyle. Minlaton is the service centre of southern Yorke Peninsula, surrounded by welcoming communities and spectacular coastline. Enjoy beaches, fishing, surfing, boating, sport, short commutes, affordable living and genuine work-life balance, within easy reach of Adelaide.

MDS is a connected R-12 school where students are known, supported and challenged. Our improvement journey focuses on evidence-informed teaching, improved achievement, learner agency, wellbeing and belonging, and authentic learning linked to community, culture, industry and future pathways.
