Application requirements include character limited responses to address only 2 Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) domains at application stage. The remaining AITSL domain will be assessed as part of the further assessment stage, for shortlisted applicants only.

The School

Connolly Primary School (PS) is a level five school located approximately 22 kilometres north of the Perth CBD with an enrolment of 360 students. Our school builds its culture around our five values of Learning, Respect, Relationships, Independence, and Inclusion. The school has a high-performance culture, is continually striving for excellence, provides ongoing qualified learning and coaching to ensure that the needs of our students and staff are well met.

Our staff are committed to working collaboratively within professional learning communities to deliver high-quality teaching and learning programs aligned with consistent, evidence-based whole school pedagogical practices. We foster a culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and shared problem-solving, where every child is valued, supported, and challenged to achieve their academic best. Our team is passionate about nurturing student leadership, independence, resilience, and the skills needed to maintain positive health and wellbeing.

The Role

Connolly PS is seeking passionate and committed teachers who are dedicated to maintaining high expectations for themselves and for every student in every classroom.



We believe that through working in partnership with each other and with our school community we can provide a quality education to our students and create a supportive and inclusive school environment.

Ideal applicants will possess strong curriculum knowledge and the ability to differentiate teaching to meet diverse student needs, display a collaborative, whole-school approach to teaching and learning, be familiar with or open to using evidence-based, explicit, and assessment-informed practices, have knowledge of programs such as Talk for Writing, InitiaLit, Literature Based Units of Work and hands on approaches to mathematics. Applicants should be open to a teaching and learning feedback cycle where class observations become a catalyst to improve teaching and learning across the school.

Suitable applicants should be committed to working as part of a dynamic, collaborative team and will welcome ongoing qualified learning and leadership opportunities to ensure the success of all through a focus on lifelong learning. They will ideally engage in collaborative planning within year-level teams to develop consistent, high-quality learning programs and teacher efficacy.

Our educators would ideally embrace a culture of accountability and professionalism, evidence-based decision-making and differentiated instruction, transparent classroom management, aligned with our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework, a commitment to restorative practices through our partnership with Real Schools.
