Help Shape the Future of Learning at Stromlo Forest Anglican College

We are looking for teachers who understand the impact of quality instruction, value strong relationships, and are excited by the opportunity to contribute to a school where every learner is known, challenged, and supported.

As a member in our founding years, you will play a significant role in developing a learning culture that inspires curiosity, fosters character, and empowers students to achieve their best outcomes.

About the Roles

We are seeking highly effective teaching staff who:

• Value collaboration and contribute positively to a professional learning culture

What You’ll Do

As a member of our Primary teaching team, you will design and deliver high-quality learning programs aligned with Australian Curriculum V9 within explicit, evidence-informed approaches to teaching.

Teacher Librarian

Shape our new library as the heart of the school — developing a rich, diverse collection, leading information literacy and inquiry skills, and cultivating a genuine love of reading across the whole school.
