Department of Education - Victoria

An exciting opportunity exists for a passionate educator to join our vibrant community at Rutherglen Primary School for 2026. With 175 students in 2026, our students will be a member of an engaging group across one of our 9 class - 1 Foundation class, 3 Year 1/2s, 2 Year 3/4s, and 3 Year 5/6s. 

What makes us the school for you?  At Rutherglen Primary, we work together as one; in a supportive and team focused culture where the learning and wellbeing of students and staff is at the centre. Our emphasis on cohesive unit teams and our embedded approach to collaborative planning, supported by our Learning Leaders, ensures confidence and consistency across the school to deliver our strong instructional models in a supportive and engaging way to meet students' needs. As a team, we design and deliver outstanding classroom programs underpinned by our own commitment to learn and grow professionally and personally. Specialist teachers in Visual Arts, STEM, Languages-French and Physical Education, and our extensive extra-curricular opportunities enhance the learning and experiences for all students.

Through our school values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, and Empathy, we are committed to creating an inclusive and safe environment for all students, guided by the integration of School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS). We are dedicated to focusing on developing the whole child - socially, emotionally, physically, and academically to allow our students to continuously improve and have the capacity to make choices that impact learning and connections in a positive way.

At Rutherglen Primary School, we welcome educators who have the desire to be part of a passionate, innovative, and supportive team who believe in nurturing and guiding the youngest members of our school community to be valuable and valued citizens both now and in the future.
