Note: This position is being advertised as part of a recruitment pilot designed to simplify the application process for teachers. A mandatory CV template is provided for use.

The School Located in the Central Kimberley Region between Broome and Kununurra, most students come from the town of Halls Creek and the communities of Mardiwa Loop and Nicholson Block. A few students commute from several family communities within 20 km of Halls Creek, Koongie Park Station (20 km) and Lamboo Station (40 km). At Halls Creek District High School (DHS), we have developed both a culture of high expectations and a high care environment where success is supported and celebrated.
We are striving to be a school of achievement through our consistent teaching practices, agile educational experiences, and active community engagement. Halls Creek DHS has an enrolment of approximately 330 students across the Kindergarten to Year 12 campus, with a 98% Aboriginal enrolment. Located in the beautiful East Kimberley Region, we are part of the Kimberley Schools Project, and are committed to attracting, recruiting, and coaching teachers to master explicit teaching pedagogy.
The Location and Community Schools in the Remote Teaching Service are located in some of the most isolated parts of the state. They may be in community settings or small towns,
and the majority of students are from local Aboriginal families. They deliver flexible and innovative education programs to ensure students in remote areas have access to high quality learning programs. Teaching in a remote school offers a range of professional opportunities for teachers who are engaging and resilient.
If you are flexible and like working as part of a team, you have the opportunity to be part of this innovative learning community. Skills and interests in literacy, numeracy, and English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D) are highly valued. Teachers who live and work in the remote teaching service tell us that it makes them better teachers, and better people. The Department of Education also supports our teachers by providing a range of additional allowances and benefits.
