School EA roles in Wagga don’t come up often.

And when they do, people tend to hold on to them.

This one’s open.

Then there are the hours.

You start at 8:20am. You finish at 4:30pm. Monday to Friday.

No weekends. No late nights. No “quick call” at 7pm.

In a school, your day runs to the rhythm of the bell, not the whims of a quarterly target.

It may look like we’re avoiding talking about the job.

We are. Briefly.

Because if you’re an experienced Executive Assistant, you already know the job.

You’ve found a free half hour in a diary that swore it didn’t have one.

You’ve minuted a meeting that ran 40 minutes over.

You’ve proofread something three times, then checked it a fourth.

You make sure every i is dotted and every t is crossed.

What you really want to know is why you’d do it here instead.

Fair question.

The role is with an independent Christian primary school in Wagga Wagga, one with a robust reputation in the community and families who choose it on purpose.

There are around 40 staff across teaching, learning support and admin. It’s the kind of place where the Executive Team backs you and colleagues genuinely look out for each other.

And because it’s a primary school, your workplace has more joy per square metre than most. Merit awards. Swimming carnivals. Proud parents at every turn.

You’ll support the Principal and the Executive Team. In practice, you’ll be the person who always knows where everything is at.

Day to day, you’ll manage the Principal’s diary, inbox and phone calls, keep the Executive Team’s calendars in sync,



and prepare agendas and minutes. You’ll also lend a hand with staff recruitment and any research the Principal needs.

You’ll own enrolments end to end, from the first enquiry and school tour through to waiting lists, interviews and class placements. You’ll keep student and family records accurate, medical alerts and immunisations included. You’ll even build relationships with local early learning centres, so the next wave of families already knows where to find the school.

You’ll also be the keeper of the brand. That means producing the newsletter, prospectus, handbooks and annual report, and looking after the website, app, social media and even the school sign. And you’ll make sure the logo is never stretched, squashed or set in Comic Sans.

When the front desk needs a hand, you’re the backup.

But this isn’t admin for admin’s sake.

Every email, phone call and enrolment shapes how a family experiences the school. Sometimes that takes organisation. Sometimes composure. And sometimes it’s simply being the reassuring voice a nervous new parent needs.

A couple of things worth knowing upfront.

Term 1 is the busiest stretch of the year.





So you will be learning on the run. Enrolments, start-of-year setup and the swimming carnival all arrive at once. You’ll get a thorough handover, and questions are genuinely welcome.

And this is a Christian school, which matters here. Each day starts with a short staff devotion, and they’re looking for someone who’s comfortable with, and supportive of, the school’s Christian ethos.

So, what are they looking for?

Solid experience as an EA or in senior administration. A school, education or medical admin background is a real advantage.

TASS experience helps, but if you’ve mastered one system, you’ll master this one.

An eye that catches the typo before it reaches every family in the school.

Discretion. You’ll sit next to the Principal’s office, and what you hear stays there. Confidentiality is paramount.

A Working with Children Check, or the willingness to get one.

Most of all, someone calm, adaptable and personable.

Someone who treats feedback as quality control, not criticism.

Someone who can reassure an anxious parent at 8:30 and keep pace with the Principal by 9.

Calm, not chaos.

So, to recap: a respected school. Bell-friendly hours. A supportive Executive Team. Good people. And work you can see every day, from the Principal’s calendar to the fridge doors of Wagga.

Roles like this don’t come up often.

This one’s open.
