This role would suit motivated educators, with strong curriculum knowledge who are dedicated to developing a love of learning in their students. Strong verbal and digital communication skills are a must to thrive in our busy school environment. With our low turnover, staff at our school have years of targeted professional development behind them to meet the needs of our students. New staff will be supported to up-skill over time and a willingness to learn, grow and collaborate with our small teaching team is essential.

At PVS we understand the importance of play to children’s development. Suitable applicants will work diligently to ensure students practice skills through play and may use their imagination. The play at PVS is organised in a developmentally appropriate way with our youngest learners playing frequently, with student-guided play as well as teacher-led play embedded in their programs. Our older learners use games for fluency practice and engage in more student-guided play during their brain and play breaks. It is essential that our educators understand the importance of creating highly engaging learning experiences and value finding the fun in class with their students.
