We deliver a comprehensive and responsive curriculum for students in Stage 4 and Stage 5. Through agreement with the Senior Campus of Great Lakes College, we facilitate early commencement of Stage 6 subjects to provide a responsive and flexible education pathway for individual students. Our diverse curriculum offering is further strengthened by access to Vocational Education Training with external Registered Training Organisations and the provision of a Trade Training Centre on site.
We have an Education Support Unit containing five classes. Students with additional learning needs have access to specialised learning for intellectually mild, moderate and severe cognitive disability. We also provide support through multicatergorical classes for students with additional emotional and cognitive needs.
Situated on the lower Mid North Coast of NSW, the school is built on the traditional lands of the Worimi people and 20% of our students identify as First Nations people. The Gathang language is the first language spoken in the area. An additional 2% of our student population has a language background other than English. As a community we benefit from access to beautiful waterways, National Parks, a full calendar of sporting activities and a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and managing the Mathematics and Science faculties as well as contributing to whole school activities. As part of the College structure all teaching staff are eligible for cross campus teaching opportunities and EOI transfer between the three-campus structure.
