ONGOING- FULL TIME From 6/10/2025

Our Purpose:

At TC our purpose is “to challenge the status quo so that everyone is empowered to learn.”

We Believe:

Learning is more than just acquiring knowledge. It is a personal, exciting, lifelong journey. School is a place to discover and pursue your passions which contribute to the greater good.

High quality teaching and learning is student-centred and relationship driven, where support and challenge empower all to be the best that they can be.

Success comes in many forms and growth and achievement are to be recognised and celebrated.

Our Values – Empowered Learners

The elements we value that lead to empowered learners are:

Agency - having the ability to be involved in setting the parameters of your own learning

Relationships - having meaningful interactions with your peers and all other members of the Community

Understanding - knowing that your individual needs and circumstances are considered when designing your learning

Success - being challenged by the learning to experience personal growth

Authenticity - doing real things that matter

School profile

TC is a leader in innovative and progressive education. Having transformed the school from a school of last resort to a thriving community, we now have approximately 1250 students and demand outstrips supply. We continue to improve and innovate by having a clear focus on both “core” work and “explore” work. In 2023, TC was named Australian Government Secondary School of the Year, and one of our staff members was named the Australian Government Secondary School Teacher of the Year. In the same year, the school was shortlisted as a finalist in the Victorian Education Excellence Awards in the Provision for High Ability Students category.

The Role:

Templestowe College is looking for a Secondary Teacher with a passion for Montessori who can join us in teaching the "student led" program MAP (Montessori Adoloscent Program).

The MAP feeds the adolescent’s need to know the math, science, humanities and language work they do in the classroom translates into what they will need in their everyday lives. It needs to be meaningful to them. That is why the curriculum is experiential; it is designed to bring active and physical participation into the academics. We do not rely on textbooks for curriculum or top-down “everyone-at-the-same-time” instruction.
