Teacher of Technology: Textiles and Food Technology

Epsom Girls Grammar School, Te Kura Tuarua o Ngā Taitamāhine o Maungawhau, is a school that strives for excellence: in performance, in the connections between people and in its pastoral supports. As a school we have always taken girls’ education seriously and, in all that we do, we seek to grow women of great character. In our kura we value courage, aroha, community, and manawa reka, and these values are woven through our words and our actions – from a governance level through to a classroom and co-curricular level, as well as in informal interactions on campus, and in the community.

We are a large, urban school for girls, with a current role of 2,300 students. Our expert staff teach towards the national qualification, NCEA, and we also offer Cambridge International courses and learning (where appropriate). We have a large co-curricular programme of sports, visual and performing arts, cultural expression as well as charity and service opportunities. Our staff are expected to take an active role in supporting the co-curricular programme of the school, by coaching or managing teams and groups.

We seek an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Technology to join our effective and forward looking team. Significant growth in student numbers in both Food and Textiles Technology has created a full-time opportunity. The ideal candidate will be capable in Textiles and have an interest in also teaching Food Technology.
