Motu School Gisborne

Principal

Motu School is a full primary school serving a close-knit and supportive community in the beautiful hill country inland from Gisborne. 

The tamariki and the community are looking for a new principal to love the school as much as they do! This role would be an incredible opportunity for someone wanting to take that next step in their teaching career and could be an amazing lifestyle for a teaching couple with children. There is a lovely well-maintained school house and an incredible lifestyle on offer here.

The Board are seeking an experienced teacher with up-to-date assessment and pedagogical knowledge and a passion for developing authentic localised curriculum delivery. We are looking for someone who is a great communicator and builds strong local connections and relationships. Motu is a stunning environment with endless outdoor pursuits available at your doorstep such as hunting, fishing, tramping and camping, mountain biking, and surfing in Gisborne. The rural teaching experience is such a unique and awesome opportunity, could this be your next adventure?

Commencement date is ideally term 4 and is negotiable with the successful applicant.
