The NSW Department of Education provides, funds and regulates education services for NSW children from early childhood to secondary school, delivering world-class education through its public schools and providing funding support to non-government schools. We employ, develop and support teachers, leaders and other staff to deliver the best outcomes for students and to advance the wellbeing of Aboriginal people.

A School Administration Officer is responsible to the Principal for assisting in a range of school, classroom and office activities eg record keeping, book keeping and other clerical duties, reception; operating and maintaining classroom and office equipment; purchasing; preparing and maintaining stock and learning/resource materials.

The School Administrative Officer will commence in Term 4 2026 and play an important role in supporting the establishment of the new public preschool, which will open on Day 1, Term 1 2027.

The preschool will comprise three purpose-built learning spaces supporting approximately 120 students each fortnight and will operate as part of the new Wirlinga Public School and Preschool community.
