This is a 12 month fixed term, full-time position commencing Term 4, 2026 with possible extension and/or permanency

The ‘Baynton West Way’ has become a way of life for many of our students and staff. Integrity, innovation, dedication and caring are our key guiding beacons, and our school vision of, ‘Children are at the heart of our school’ embodies everything we do.

Our school staff are committed to building positive relationships and pursuing excellence, maintaining a dedicated and professional environment that supports every child to achieve their personal best each day. We are leaders in explicit instruction with a strong, authentic culture of daily collaboration, supported by common year level DOTT (duties other than teaching), classroom observations and embedded coaching that foster trust and open communication. Staff use high impact teaching and evidence-based strategies to embrace an engaging and explicit pedagogy in the early years within a clearly defined whole-school approach that maximises their impact on student learning. In addition, we constantly aim to deliver the highest standards of pastoral care and support services in order to enable our students to thrive.
