Kalgoorlie Primary School (PS) is seeking to establish a pool of Kindergarten to Year 6 (K-6) Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Teachers have plenty of choices. So why Kalgoorlie Primary School? Because this is a school where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

Walk through our classrooms and you'll find enthusiastic students, dedicated staff and a team that backs one another. You'll find experienced teachers sharing ideas, graduate teachers building confidence and leaders who are visible, approachable and invested in helping staff succeed. Most importantly, you'll find a school that has clarity of focus. We are here to educate.

With strong whole school alignment and a high quality curriculum already in place, teachers can focus less on creating programmes from scratch and more on delivering engaging lessons and responding to the needs of their students.

We're proud of our culture, the way staff support one another and the opportunities we provide students. Our results prove that location is no barrier to a quality education. We’re especially proud of the reputation we've built as a school where teachers can do their best work.

Whether you're a graduate teacher looking to kickstart your career or an experienced educator ready for a new challenge, you'll find opportunities here that can be difficult to access elsewhere. In a school our size, teachers have genuine opportunities to lead, contribute to whole school initiatives and develop professionally while being supported every step of the way.

Of course, choosing a school isn't just about the job. It's about the people you'll work with and the life you'll build. Kalgoorlie has a way of surprising people. Many arrive expecting a short stay. Instead, they find a welcoming community, strong friendships and a lifestyle that offers more balance and opportunity than they imagined.

The commute is short. The community is connected. The opportunities are endless.
