Join our team as a Secondary Teacher at Southern Cross Catholic College, Annandale!

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Japanese Teacher (Grade 3-10) with tertiary qualifications and registration (or eligibility) with the Queensland College of Teachers
. This is a full-time, fixed-term position that will commence on 19 January 2026 and concludes on 4 December 2026

You’ll join a collaborative and supportive team of dedicated educators who work closely with families to deliver outstanding Japanese language learning for students in Years 3–10. Your knowledge of contemporary language‑teaching practices, and your ability to differentiate learning, will help students of all abilities feel confident, included, and motivated to communicate in Japanese.

In your classroom, you’ll inspire curiosity about Japanese language and culture through engaging, age‑appropriate lessons, clear expectations, and reflective practice. You’ll use a variety of assessment strategies to track language development, celebrate progress, and provide meaningful feedback that supports each student’s growth and love of learning.

Guided by Catholic values, you’ll embrace the school’s mission, prioritise student safety and wellbeing, and help create a welcoming, supportive environment where every learner feels they belong.

Set on the tropical coast of North Queensland, Townsville blends the energy of a thriving regional city with the warmth of a welcoming community. With Magnetic Island just a short ferry ride away and the Great Barrier Reef on its doorstep, you can spend weekends exploring palm‑lined beaches, vibrant markets, and lively cultural events - all while enjoying the relaxed, outdoors‑focused lifestyle that makes Townsville such a rewarding place to live and work.
