Teacher

We have a fixed-term position available at Douglas Park School. The position is in our Year 0 and 1 teaching team, but could also be in Year 2 and 3 if that is the preferred level.

The school follows BSLA for literacy, DMIC for mathematics and we have also held onto our student-centred practices. Play-based learning in the juniors, maker learning in the seniors and inquiry learning across the school.

While we follow the recent education changes to a degree you can bring who you are, your skills, and your passions into the classroom programme.

Feedback from a departing staff member:

“The place has such a positive vibe. The children are really into their learning, whānau are supportive, the staff are so knowledgeable and capable, and the leadership are fantastic. I only wish I had come to Douglas Park earlier so I could have enjoyed it for longer. These have been the most enjoyable years of my career”

We have a proud history of success in innovation (Apple Distinguished School), success in learning (see our ERO report), success in developing beginning teachers and success in growing leadership for those that are keen on it.
