Roll growth teacher in our new enrant team

Epic educator wanted at (one of) the best schools in North Canterbury. We are looking for a passionate junior school teacher to take on our next cohort of learners who are due to graduate from our Nest. Moving into our main teaching space you’ll be working alongside 2 other teachers and their learners in a purpose built and beautiful teaching space.

We pride ourselves on being a community of reflective practitioners who are creative and caring—and we want a teacher who can nurture those same qualities in our students.

If you are a teacher who is genuinely excited about working collaboratively, is committed to growing your practice, is restorative by nature, embraces digital education, and is a true team player, we need to hear from you!

A knowledge of structured literacy and maths no problem will be a big advantage as these programmes are embedded here. We are an Apple Distinguished school, leaders in digital creativity - are you?

If you believe you can inspire our learners to be adventurers, creators and thinkers, we want to hear from you! Please head over to our website for more information on us, the role and how to apply.

Curriculum expertise: A deep, proven understanding of the New Zealand Curriculum and significant experience in enacting its progressions within a New Zealand school context are essential.
Cultural competency: You will demonstrate a strong commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnership and be proficient in integrating te reo Māori and tikanga Māori into daily classroom practice, reflecting the 2026 Standards for the Teaching Profession.

A bit about us…

Our school is a tight-knit community of whānau, teachers and support staff who are committed to helping all of our tamariki “be the somebody”.

We are a purpose-built MLE school, the first to be built as part of the Canterbury rebuild. Prior to moving to our new school site in 2014, the school was located in Waikuku and celebrated its 140th anniversary there in 2013.

All our children and teachers are in ACTive Learning Spaces (ALS), usually with two year groups mixed into home groups. Each ALS operates with a team of teachers and teacher aides. Our vision is to challenge and inspire adventurers, creators and thinkers.

We are passionate about collaborative teaching and learning and nurturing our kids to be Kaitiaki (guardians) and we place huge value on engaging our community in all aspects of school life.

We think our school is a very exciting and rewarding place to teach and learn. If you are totally committed to working in a dynamic team environment where reflection and continual growth is not just expected, it is demanded, then please get in touch.
