Year 4-6 Teacher, composite class

Are you an energetic, passionate educator looking to grow adventurous learners? Paparangi School is seeking a teacher to join our collaborative and community-focused team. 

At Paparangi, we’re all about growing adventurous learners. As a proud Enviro-School, we connect our tamariki with the natural world through an authentic, locally responsive curriculum. Our iGROW values underpin everything we do, inspiring our learners to be adventurous learners who get along well with others and are curious about the world around them. Guided by our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) approach, we foster a safe and supportive environment where both staff and student wellbeing is prioritised.

We offer

• A supportive, future-focused team that celebrates collaboration, creativity and mahi tahi.
• An inspiring outdoor learning environment and a vibrant, diverse school community.
• Strong, active whānau partnerships that enrich our classroom programmes and extra-curricular activities.

• Is a reflective practitioner who is committed to ongoing professional development, with a growth mindset and willingness to learn alongside their colleagues.
• Infuses their classroom with energy, has a joy for teaching and a love of learning.
• Has experience teaching students with additional needs, a well-developed understanding of neurodiverse learners and how to enable them to be the best they can be.
• Has interests and strengths beyond the classroom - what can you offer our school? Do you have skills in music, the arts or te reo Māori - any of these areas would be an advantage!
