Work at Valkstone
Are you ready to embark on a thrilling journey where no two days are the same? Can you imagine a workplace where laughter echoes through the corridors and curiosity is the driving force?
Welcome to Valkstone Primary School, where we’re not just teaching – we’re inspiring the next generation of thinkers, dreamers and doers, right here in the heart of Melbourne!
Picture yourself in a vibrant community where painted masterpieces adorn the walls, where science experiments sometimes go hilariously wrong (in the best way possible) and where you might find yourself dressed as a storybook character on any given Tuesday. Sound like your cup of tea?
At Valkstone, we’re on a mission to make learning an adventure, and we’re often looking for passionate educators to join our crew. Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or a bright-eyed newcomer, if you believe in the power of education to change lives and have a knack for making times tables as exciting as a footy Grand Final, we want to hear from you!
Why us?
- We are growth mindset focussed, an approach that is embedded in our school’s daily activities.
- We have buddy programs…for new teachers! We will match you up with someone so you will never have to worry about asking silly questions.
- Our community is supportive of the hard work of our staff and the direction of our school.
- We also have an engaged and supportive parent group with a community-driven approach that is second to none.
- We have teacher learning and development days.
If you are looking for a change and a role in the inner south-east would suit from a location perspective, if you are looking for a school that is driven, passionate and genuinely engaged in their students’ needs and development, then look no further — we could be the work home for you.
