The Role
We are seeking enthusiastic and highly effective K–6 teachers who have exceptional interpersonal skills and can build genuine, respectful relationships with students, families, colleagues, and the wider school community.
At Dampier PS, teachers are committed to delivering high-quality teaching while prioritising student wellbeing.
Suitable applicants will ideally display a strong commitment to evidence-based practice by implementing our whole-school programs, agreed pedagogical approaches, and collaborative planning processes to maximise student achievement.
Suitable applicants should create positive, inclusive learning environments where high expectations, strong relationships, and a growth mindset enable every student to thrive academically, socially,



and emotionally.
They will ideally be reflective practitioners who actively contribute to school improvement priorities, embrace professional learning, and work collaboratively to improve outcomes for all students.
The ability to differentiate the curriculum and implement effective, cutting-edge teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of learners is highly desirable.
We value teachers who possess an exemplary classroom practice, a genuine passion for education, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
The ability to work collaboratively within a connected whole-school culture, contribute positively to team planning, and engage in ongoing professional growth is highly regarded.
Dampier PS implements a consistent, evidence-informed approach to teaching and learning through Literacy and Numeracy Blocks incorporating Shaping Minds engagement norms and daily reviews, Learning Through Doing Mathematics, UFLI Foundations synthetic phonics, Talk for Writing, Word Origins, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), Berry Street Education Model strategies, and a whole-school approach to Health education.
Experience with these programs or similar evidence-based approaches is desirable but not essential, as professional learning and support will be provided.
We welcome applications from teachers who aspire to develop their leadership capability.
Dampier PS provides opportunities for future leadership, including middle leadership roles, within a supportive school culture and the broader Karratha network of public schools.
