Classroom Teacher - Upper Primary

Role Description and Criteria

Mother of God School (MoGS) is a small school where everyone is known by name and students are at the heart of all we do. We are very proud of our inclusive, warm and welcoming Catholic school community. Ours is a culturally and linguistically diverse community and we are conscious of the funds of knowledge that children and their families bring to school.

We highly value these assets as the essential starting point in planning for learning and teaching. We know that strong partnerships between school and home enable student learning to be enhanced, and we strive constantly to strengthen this important part of our work. Our leadership and staff at MOGS are continuously inspired by the Brigidine values that underpin our vision.
