This is a permanent full-time position commencing Term 1, 2027

Exmouth District High School (DHS) is a proudly Independent Public School with approximately 520 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 (K-12). We are committed to providing the best possible education for the students of our community and are charged with preparing our students for a diverse range of futures.

Exmouth is a coastal community situated in the remote northwest of Western Australia. Located about 1250km north of Perth, 850km north of the large regional city of Geraldton and 550km southwest of the Pilbara mining operations in Karratha, we are surrounded by Cape Range National Park and are the gateway to the unique Ningaloo Reef, recently listed as a World Heritage site. There is a permanent population of approximately 3,500 people which swells to thousands more during peak tourist periods. Due to the number of tourists visiting Exmouth the town has many amenities which would not normally be expected in a town of its size.
