Mistake Creek State School is a small Kindergarten-Year 6 school where every student is known, valued and supported. With exceptionally small class sizes and students who are well behaved, engaged and genuinely love learning, teachers have the opportunity to provide highly personalised learning experiences and make a visible difference every day.

The school is looking for a teacher who can bring their own strengths, interests and ideas to the role and become an important part of the school community for the 2027 school year. Flexibility is available around the full-time allocation, with the school happy to consider arrangements from 0.2 to 1.0 FTE, with a preference for approximately 0.6 FTE.

Located around 50 minutes from Clermont and less than two hours from Emerald Airport, Mistake Creek offers a peaceful regional lifestyle.
