We are seeking to establish a pool of Health and Physical Education Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Help young people discover a lifelong love of movement. Grow your career with us.

At Safety Bay Senior High School (SHS), Health and Physical Education (HPE) is about more than sport. We create opportunities for every student to participate, build confidence, develop leadership and establish the habits that underpin lifelong health and active lifestyles. Our motto, Imagine, Believe, Achieve, expresses our belief in what young people can become.

Our moral purpose is: Inspiring a community where every student is known, supported, and challenged, so that every prospect is possible and every day matters.

We are entering an exciting phase of whole-school improvement, strengthening the consistency of teaching and learning, refining curriculum and assessment, and building a culture of high expectations, collaboration and continuous improvement. Our Safety Bay Way values of Respecting, Community, Personal Best, Learning and Achieving guide how we work with students, colleagues and families.

We believe great schools grow great teachers. Staff have dedicated weekly collaborative time to plan, examine evidence of student learning and improve practice together. Through feedback, professional learning and a distributive approach to leadership, we value the initiative and expertise of colleagues at every stage of their career, from graduates to experienced teachers aspiring to lead.

The Role

We are ideally seeking versatile, student-focused HPE teachers who can deliver engaging and inclusive learning across Years 7 to 12. Depending on vacancies, expertise and timetable requirements, roles may draw on our core Health and Physical Education programs, senior secondary courses, vocational pathways, specialist sporting programs and extensive co-curricular opportunities.





The HPE learning area offers diverse opportunities to make a difference, including:

- Health and Physical Education in Years 7 to 10, with a focus on wellbeing, physical literacy, movement skills, respectful relationships and active participation.
- Senior secondary courses, including Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and General Physical Education Studies and General Health Studies, supporting both university and alternative pathways.
- Vocational pathways including Certificate II in Outdoor Recreation, Certificate II in Sport and Recreation, and the Football-focused Certificate II in Sport Coaching / Certificate III in Sport, Aquatics and Recreation dual qualification.
- Our Department of Education approved Specialist Football (Soccer) Program, which combines high-level coaching, academic progress, personal growth and competition.
- Outdoor Pursuits, recreation activities, excursions and camps, school carnivals and interschool competitions.
- Bush Ranger Cadets, student leadership, conservation, community partnerships and other extracurricular experiences that build resilience, teamwork and belonging.

We value teachers who build positive relationships, maintain safe and purposeful learning environments, differentiate for diverse abilities and use assessment and feedback to improve outcomes. Working collaboratively to plan, reflect and moderate practice is important to the role. An interest in specialist programs, outdoor education or vocational learning is welcome, but not a requirement to be considered for the pool.

The specific teaching load and program responsibilities will depend on vacancies that arise. Vocational teaching or assessment responsibilities may require relevant qualifications or industry currency.





Graduate teachers are encouraged to apply. We value staff who are open to feedback, willing to learn, and ready to contribute to the shared work of school improvement.
