About the role

St Marcellin Catholic College is seeking two full-time, ongoing (1.0 FTE) teachers, commencing 1 January 2027, to join our new College in its third year of operation: one Early Years Teacher and one Primary Teacher.

Our Junior School teachers commit to building community as a priority and personally model our motto, Strong Minds and Gentle Hearts. As voracious learners themselves, they design collaborative, authentic learning experiences for our students.

We are looking for educators with compassion, humility, patience, agility and outstanding communication skills. Pastorally, our teachers are committed to restorative practice, where correction is just, kind and forgiving. You will have a demonstrated capacity to support students in achieving both their academic and social-emotional goals.

In the Early Years, teachers will be pedagogically aligned with the Reggio Emilia approach. Beyond the Early Years, teachers will be confident in inquiry-based pedagogy. Across the Junior School, we expect a strong commitment to teaching core skills in line with the EYLF, Kindergarten Guidelines and SCSA Western Australian Curriculum.
