About this job
Position Information
Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School is a 7-12 coeducational high school established in 1962. We are situated on the traditional lands of the Mulgoa clan of the Dharug people in Emu Plains. With an enrolment of around 860 students, including 10.1% of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background, we proudly celebrate growth in learning for all our students. Our school community comprises a selective stream for students who excel in the Creative and Performing Arts in addition to local area enrolments, and an Inclusive Education Unit which supports over 60 students with diagnosed hearing impairment and/or intellectual disability. Our audition-based Creative and Performing Arts program enables students who demonstrate high potential and giftedness in one or more areas of the creative and performing arts to extend their talents beyond the regular curriculum. Our specialist fields include circus arts, creative arts, dance, drama and music. The school occupies spacious grounds and features a range of facilities including the Nepean Arts Centre, multiple specialised sporting fields, a large agriculture plot, and a wide range of dedicated learning spaces that support our broad curriculum.
Staff across the school are deeply committed to ensuring every student in our school is known, valued and cared for, and we work in a collaborative team environment which underpins the strong school culture of learning growth for all. We value our strong parental and community support partnerships which enrich the learning and wellbeing opportunities for all students. At Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School we aspire, in all things, to demonstrate care for ourselves, others and our community so that all feel heard, seen, valued and accepted. We aspire to grow in understanding, individual expertise and creativity, striving with courage and cooperation, to flourish now and into the future. We recognise and celebrate optimism, engagement, achievement and the pursuit of personal excellence.
