We are a modern, inclusive, forward-focused school in the heart of our vibrant capital city.

From supervising daily routines to planning fun and inclusive weekend activities, you’ll help create a home away from home for our students. You’ll ensure all activities are safe and well-organised, including completing risk assessments.
You’ll bring the integrity and mana to establish clear boundaries while building trust and rapport with our students.
