Food technology/hospitality teacher (possible leadership opportunity)

Our school vision embraces 'Kia Ngatahi Te Hoe, Kia Whakatere te Waka ki Uta' (Navigate Together for Success), a statement proudly crafted by our community. This vision guides all we do at Taipa Area School and reflects our commitment to fostering a strong sense of belonging, safety, and achievement for every student.

We invite applications for a permanent hospitality/food teaching position commencing at the start of term 1, 2025. Taipa Area School's achievements in senior hospitality and junior food have been consistently excellent over the past five years. Our courses are heavily subscribed, and students thrive in our well-equipped, modern facility.

To continue this success, we seek an innovative and enthusiastic teacher with a proven track record in teaching Hospitality. The faculty is collegial and well-resourced, taking a relational approach to delivering engaging lessons that inspire student growth.

There is also an opportunity for the right candidate to receive middle management units to lead the 'Creative Faculty.' Due to our school's unique nature, the Food/Hospitality Department collaborates closely with Art, Music, and Technology. The ideal candidate would have leadership experience and be able to effectively contribute to our 'Creatives faculty.' Experience in guiding and supporting teachers while advancing student achievement is essential for those applying for the additional leadership role.

Our point of difference lies in making senior assessments ‘real’—students are actively involved in collaborative learning experiences at the Marae. These experiences lead to excellent credit achievement and provide students with a meaningful purpose for learning. We live by three strong values—Manaakitanga, Painga, and Mahitahi—daily.

A 3-bedroom schoolhouse is available in the beautiful bay with this vacancy.

This is an exciting opportunity for an NZ-registered teacher to grow within a supportive and well-resourced team. For more information, please contact the school.
