About this job
Position Information
Hunters Hill High School, (enrolment approximately 750) is a comprehensive, co-educational school, with a strong commitment to, and expectation of excellence. The delivery of quality literacy programs, the promotion of student well-being, and the ongoing development of high-quality teaching and learning programs are key strategic directions. Our pedagogy has foundation in transformative 4Cs learning and ALARM writing skills. In a diverse curriculum, there is a strong emphasis on quality teaching, the use of evidenced based approaches to maximise student outcomes, and the maintenance of high expectations across all areas of school life. A great deal of pride comes from the contributions made by the many students who have passed through our school since it opened in 1958. The atmosphere at Hunters Hill High School has always been a friendly one. Students, staff and parents have worked together over the years to produce the harmony that exists. In recent times the school’s connection with local enterprises like the Hunters Hill Sailing Club, Hunters Hill Council, Nursing Home and other community groups has very much made us a school strong in community spirit.
