Location Profile

Narrarrang Primary School opened in 2026 with a unique opportunity: to build an exceptional school and community from the ground up.

As we prepare for our second year, our community is growing, and so is our team. Our foundations are now established, but there remains a genuine opportunity for new staff to help contribute to the architecture of what Narrarrang becomes next.

We are building a school where every learner is seen, known, valued, and challenged; where learning is purposeful, rigorous and joyful; and where high expectations sit alongside strong relationships, inclusion and a deep belief in every learners capacity to thrive.

We are looking for teacher with strong professional knowledge and practice who want to contribute meaningfully to the work of a growing school. We value people who are curious, thoughtful and proactive; who exercise sound judgement, build strong relationships, and who are committed to improving student outcomes and strengthen the work of the team.

- Hungry to learn, contribute and make a difference.
- Humble enough to seek feedback, challenge their thinking and keep getting better.
- Smart about people, relationships and what it means to contribute thoughtfully to a team.

In return, we want Narrarrang to be a place where staff are challenged, supported and trusted to grow; where feedback, collaboration and professional learning are embedded in how we work; and where people have a genuine opportunity to influence the school we are becoming.

For the right people, Narrarrang offers more than a role. It is an opportunity to do meaningful work,



strengthen your practice and help shape the next chapter of a new school with high aspirations for every learner.
