Ellerston Public School is a small rural school situated in picturesque surroundings 69km from Scone, 167km from Tamworth and 185km from Maitland. The school has focussed on providing a quality education in a nurturing and innovative learning environment where all learners aspire to reach their potential. Everyone works together as a whole school community to prepare and inspire students to be creative, engaged and confident participants in our ever-changing and challenging world.

The role incorporates a significant teaching load.
