Karwan Primary School is the perfect place to embrace a change of scenery, reignite your passion for teaching, or take the next step in your professional journey. Whether you are seeking a fresh challenge, greater job security, a current school environment, or the opportunity to work alongside exceptional colleagues, Karwan Primary School offers a rewarding and exciting career within a supportive, high-performing and rapidly growing school community.

Located at 455 Bethany Road, Tarneit, Karwan Primary School opened in Term 1, 2023 and continues to grow as a vibrant and expanding community. With enrolments expected to exceed 1,000 students by 2027, the school combines the opportunities of a large, modern primary school with the close-knit feel of a smaller school, where every student and staff member is known, valued and supported.

Getting to Karwan Primary School is easier than many people expect. The school is approximately 25¿30 minutes against traffic from Melbourne¿s inner west, around 40 minutes via freeway from Geelong, approximately 35 minutes from the northern suburbs, and only a short drive from Point Cook, Truganina, Tarneit, Werribee, Melton, Williams Landing, Altona and surrounding areas.

At Karwan Primary School, our greatest strength is our people. Our staff are highly skilled, passionate and deeply committed to achieving the very best outcomes for students. We have built a culture grounded in trust, collaboration, support and continous improvement. Staff work together, learn from one another and celebrate success collectively. There is a genuine sense of camaraderie across the school and a shared belief that great schools are built by great teams. Once staff join Karwan, they tend to stay, a reflection of the positive culture and strong relationships that define our community.





Our students are another reason teachers love working at Karwan Primary School. Representing a rich diversity of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, they are respectful, engaged and eager to learn. Their positive attitudes and willingness to embrace challenge create classrooms where teaching is both rewarding and enjoyable. Teachers regularly speak about the strong relationships they build with students and the positive learning environments that exist across the school.

We are equally fortunate to have supportive and engaged families who value education and work in partnership with staff to ensure every child is successful. Strong home¿school partnerships are a hallmark of the Karwan community. Classroom teachers are the first point of contact for families, supported through regular interactions before and after school, four scheduled parent/teacher conferences throughout the year and phone communication as required. Families are welcoming, respectful and deeply invested in their children¿s learning, creating an environment where staff feel appreciated and supported.

Teaching at Karwan Primary School means being part of a team where support is always available. Our leadership team takes a highly visible and hands‑on approach, working alongside teachers every day. Leaders are regularly present in classrooms, the yard and across the school, supporting students, staff and learning programs.



With an open‑door philosophy and a genuine commitment to listening, every staff member is encouraged to contribute ideas, seek support and help shape the future direction of the school. Professional Learning Team Leaders and Leading Teachers further strengthen this structure, ensuring staff have access to coaching, mentoring and high‑quality professional learning.

Karwan Primary School is a purpose‑built facility with state‑of‑the‑art learning environments, beautifully maintained grounds and specialist spaces that support high‑quality teaching and learning. This includes individual classrooms designed for contemporary learning, specialist areas for the arts and sciences and a competition‑grade basketball stadium that enhances both sporting programs and whole‑school events.

Karwan Primary School also places a strong emphasis on staff wellbeing and work‑life balance. School hours are 8:40am to 2:50pm, allowing staff to generally leave by 3:10pm on non‑meeting days and 4:10pm on meeting days. We work hard during the school day, while also recognising the importance of family, personal wellbeing and life beyond work. A healthy balance is actively encouraged and modelled by leaders across the school.

The best way to understand what makes Karwan Primary School such a special place to work is to experience it firsthand. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Principal Ashley Craig at Ashley.
