Department of Education - Victoria

Darley Primary School is located in Darley, Bacchus Marsh, just 58km west of Melbourne. We are a vibrant community school with around 500 students, 23 classes and a dedicated team of 58 staff, offering specialist programs in PE, SEL, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Auslan.

 

At Darley, we pride ourselves on our strong, supportive and collegial staff culture. We value learning, collaboration and laughter, and know that when teachers thrive, students do too. Our staff genuinely care for one another, share expertise openly and celebrate each other's successes.

 

We are committed to evidence-based teaching through the Science of Learning and a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). Teachers work together in Professional Learning Communities to plan, assess and use evidence-based practices, with leadership and coaches providing guidance and coaching every step of the way.

 

Balance matters at Darley. We believe purposeful structures and realistic expectations allow our teachers to bring their best selves to school each day and still have time and energy for life beyond the classroom.

 

What We're Looking For. We're on the lookout for a passionate, committed classroom teacher who: 

•  Is excited by evidence-based teaching that promotes inclusion and success for every learner 
•  Works well in teams and loves learning alongside others

•  Brings warmth, energy and flexibility to the classroom and staffroom
