Lead the Future. Shape the Senior School.

At Peninsula College, we're not your average school and this isn't your average leadership role. We're looking for an experienced, strategic educator to lead our Senior School: driving whole-of-cohort improvement, building staff capability, and steering the delivery of our senior school programs including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, the Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN) and the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) alongside work experience and transition planning that sets our students up for real, meaningful futures.

This is a rare opportunity to shape senior school practice from the ground up, working alongside a forward-thinking leadership team that's reimagining what specialist education can be.
