Classroom Teacher

Glenbrook School is looking for a committed, enthusiastic classroom teacher to join our full primary country school in Franklin from January 2027.

We are a proactive, connected school with a strong sense of community. In 2027, we will celebrate 150 years of learning at Glenbrook. A proud history that continues to shape our future. Come and work with a collaborative, hard working team who care deeply about our learners and make a difference every day.

Our values of Mana, Ako, Manaakitanga and Whakawhanaungatanga guide how we learn, teach and care for one another. We are a Spiral of Inquiry school: curious about what matters for our learners, open to learning alongside them, and committed to taking thoughtful action that makes a difference.

We believe learning includes taking risks, making mistakes and trying again. Our mantra is “FAIL means First Attempt In Learning”. We encourage ākonga to persevere, reflect and grow in confidence as learners.

We are seeking teachers who:

build respectful, inclusive relationships with ākonga, whānau and colleagues

create engaging classrooms where learners feel a sense of belonging and are supported to achieve

are reflective, collaborative and proactive in their teaching

value te ao Māori, our local curriculum and the strengths of our country community

bring strong teaching practice and a commitment to continued learning.

bring fun and curiosity to the classroom.

At Glenbrook, we are developing a curriculum that builds the knowledge, skills and strategies our learners need, while reflecting our community and local opportunities. Teachers at all career stages, including beginning teachers, are welcome to apply
