The School

Fitzroy Valley District High School's (DHS) vision of “Strong Minds, Strong Culture” drives our purpose and strategic direction. As a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), culturally responsive Kindergarten to Year 12 school, staff are committed to developing positive, respectful relationships with students and the community, and to fostering a positive working culture that ensures student success.

Location and Community

The town of Fitzroy Crossing is situated on the northern bank of the Fitzroy River, approximately 2700 km from Perth and 400 km east of Broome. The town has a population of approximately 1500 people. The main cultural groups in the Fitzroy Valley are the Bunuba, Gooniyandi, Walmajarri, Nyikina and Wangkatjungka peoples.

Whilst the Fitzroy Valley community faces challenges, it is forward focused and is a creative and dynamic location in which to live and work.

The Role

Staff appointed to Fitzroy Valley DHS ideally value personal excellence, respect diversity, and promote an inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment. Successful teaching and learning is underpinned by effective evidence-based instruction and trauma-informed practices. This is matched with whole-school alignment of pedagogy, programs, policy and processes. Coaching is used across the school to ensure that practice is modelled and supported.

We are a strong and collaborative team of educators who work together to build our school culture.



We work closely with community to ensure we continuously improve our instruction to give our students a world class education. Our Middle and Upper Primary Classes focus on rigorous teaching and learning in literacy and numeracy using explicit instruction with multi-tiered systems of support utilised with students who are identified at risk. Students engage in a range of specialist subjects and enjoy a variety of learning opportunities through these areas. Student and Community voice combined with effective high impact teaching drive programming and planning in this phase of schooling.

If you are interested in experiencing remote teaching, with a strong professional learning support both externally through Shaping Minds and the Fogarty Foundation and internally with leading experts, in a small town with a range of facilities and strong community at a school that supports teacher and leadership development as a vehicle to improve student outcomes we would encourage you to apply.
