Position Information

Walgett Community College

From Day 1, Term 1 2027, Walgett Community College will operate through a new educational model comprising a P-4 Primary School, a Years 5-8 Middle School and a Years 9-12 Senior School. All three schools form part of the Connected Communities Strategy and are located on Gamilaroi Country in north western NSW.

The P-4 Primary School is anticipated to enrol approximately 110 students, the Years 5-8 Middle School approximately 65 students, and the Years 9-12 Senior School approximately 60 students, with around 97% of students identifying as Aboriginal.

Walgett Community College sits at the heart of its community. Strong partnerships with students, families, the local School Reference Group, Elders, community organisations and local agencies are central to creating culturally safe, high expectations learning environments where every child and young person is known, valued and supported to achieve. The focus is on ensuring students leave school equipped with the knowledge, skills, confidence and pathways to thrive beyond school.

As part of the Connected Communities Strategy, Walgett Community College is more than a place of learning. It is a hub for education, wellbeing and prospect,



connecting students and families with health, early childhood, vocational, cultural and community services and drawing on the strength, knowledge and aspirations of the local community.

The College motto, “Courage and Excellence,” reflects the ambition held for every student and the collective responsibility of staff, families and community. Courage is reflected in high expectations, strong identity, student voice and the confidence to embrace challenge and opportunity. Excellence is pursued through strong and visible leadership, high-quality teaching, a culturally responsive and enriching curriculum, and an unwavering focus on improved educational outcomes for Aboriginal children and young people.

The new educational model provides a significant opportunity to strengthen continuity of learning, engagement and pathways from the early years through to the HSC and beyond, ensuring every student is supported to realise their potential.

About the Role:

Executive Principal Leadership Opportunity

The NSW Department of Education is seeking three dynamic,



experienced and highly capable educational leaders to lead Walgett Community College Primary School and the newly established Walgett Community College Middle School and Walgett Community College Senior School, in preparation for the new educational model commencing from Day 1, Term 1 2027.

The appointment of Executive Principals to the Primary School, Middle School and Senior School recognises the complexity, opportunity and importance of leading education in Walgett. The model is designed to bring together complementary expertise in educational leadership, Aboriginal education, community engagement and cultural capability, underpinned by high expectations for every student.

Each Executive Principal will hold clear accountability for the educational, operational and cultural leadership and success of their school, with a strong focus on student achievement, attendance, engagement, wellbeing and pathways.

The Executive Principals will work in close partnership with each other, alongside the Senior Leaders Community Engagement (SLCE), local School Reference Group (SRG), families, community and local agencies. Together, this leadership team will drive the priorities of the Connected Communities Strategy and ensure local culture, community voice and aspirations are integral to decision making.
