Waihi School Canterbury

Classroom teachers (2 positions)

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

What’s your why?

Why do you teach?

Well ask our teachers and they will tell you that:

They believe...by offering every one of our students a broad holistic experience, they will discover their talents and passions – everyone does everything at Waihi.

They believe...that learning to fail is important; Tu Igitur Perfer Adversa – our children have the resources, attitude, and resilience to cope with life

They believe...in expecting every student to give 100% in everything they do – expect to be your best, not the best

They believe...in celebrating successes, but not judging people by them, nothing is more important than your character – our aim is to nurture good young men and women.

If you believe these things too then we need to talk!

Waihi School is an independent day and boarding preparatory school providing education to girls and boys from Y4 to 8. Located in rural South Canterbury on 10 hectares of beautiful grounds, Waihi prepares its students for success in today’s world, while embracing history, tradition, and strong family values.

Due to continued roll growth, they now need two more awesome human beings to join them behind the hedge.

If you think there is a place for you behind the hedge, then let us know by applying with your CV and cover letter, telling us WHAT IS YOUR WHY, and WHY WAIHI?
