Relief Teacher Primary School - English Stream
Flexible hours – based on availability and school needs
As the school day begins, the halls of our vibrant school buzz with the cheerful voices of students making their way to their classrooms. As a relief teacher, your day starts with organising your lesson plans, grabbing your morning drink and checking in with the Head of English about how your day will look like. The energy and excitement of the school community set a positive tone for the day ahead.
In this role, flexibility is essential. Often, you'll be called upon at short notice to step into the classroom and ensure continuity in the students' learning experience. With a calm and adaptable approach, you guide students through their lessons, fostering their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
This is what makes our school unique—a welcoming community where teamwork, dedication, and passion come together to create a nurturing environment for students and educators alike. We are excited to welcome a Relief Teacher for our Primary School English Stream to contribute to the success and growth of our students.
