Inspire Senior Students. Shape Futures.

Are you a passionate English teacher looking for a role where your expertise in VCE English and English Language is truly valued?

This is more than a teaching position—it’s the chance to make a significant impact on senior students while enjoying the support, resources, and professional trust of a leading independent school. With capped class sizes, a maximum of two VCE English or VCE English Language classes, and opportunities for pastoral or leadership responsibilities, this role offers the balance between professional challenge and personal growth.

Whether you’re an experienced VCE teacher or ready to step up into senior classes for the first time, you’ll find the encouragement and structure to thrive.

Why this could be your next step

Teach VCE English and/or VCE English Language, plus Years 7–10 English

Maximum of two senior VCE classes to ensure quality over quantity

Join a collaborative, values-driven English department

From 2026: classroom teachers benefit from a 0.1 FTE if pastoral care is allocated

Leadership pathways available, including Head of House and curriculum roles

About the School

This independent P–12 school in Regional Victoria educates 1,100+ students and is recognised for its optimism, academic strength, and holistic focus. With capped enrolments and a strong wellbeing culture, the school fosters a safe, engaged environment where both staff and students are supported to succeed.

Teachers enjoy:

A 38-week teaching year

A 30% fee discount for children enrolled at the school

Access to contemporary resources and professional development

A culture of trust, collaboration, and genuine community

The school is highly respected across the North Central Victoria region and beyond, known for producing confident, capable graduates—and for being a place where teachers are proud to work.

About the Role

You’ll play a pivotal role in guiding students through their senior English journey—whether in VCE English, English Language, or both. With a deliberately reduced VCE load, you’ll have the opportunity to focus on deep learning, provide meaningful feedback, and connect with your students in ways that make a lasting difference.
