We have a healthy Engineering pathway in which our maths faculty take a leading role. </p><p>It is not essential to have prior experience of the IB curriculum framework as full training will be given. Applications are welcome from those with experience of equivalent post 16 programmes such as A level or Senior Secondary Curriculum. Your specialist knowledge of Maths, ability to work with other members of a team, passion, and willingness to work collaboratively in developing teaching units is more critical. </p><p>You will be an excellent teacher who understands how inquiry can be promoted in a mathematics classroom, shows a willingness to contribute and learn from the rest of your team and be excited to explore new ways of working. We have an excellent suite of mathematics classrooms that have been renovated in the last two years. You will be impressed by what you can achieve with the resources we access. As a result, we are looking for you to capitalise on the talents and ambitions of our students. </p><p>All teachers at West Island School are tutors to a group of approximately 15 students within a particular year group and you should be able to demonstrate a commitment to the holistic development of young people through pastoral work. It is essential that you are willing and able to contribute to the wider life of our schools such as leading overseas visits and trips. </p><p>Finally, there is a range of extra-curricular events and activities to which every teacher is expected to contribute to. Many activities are based on the teacher’s own interests or in support of students who are leading activities. It is essential that you are willing and able to contribute to the wider life of our school. </p><p>In return for your passion and delivering quality education, we offer a highly competitive salary, gratuity, housing allowance, passage, healthcare, and subsidised school places for your children. Our strength as part of the English Schools Foundation means that we offer security and the opportunities that are inherent in an established organisation of our size. </p><p>Please refer to the ESF recruitment website as well as our own <a href="https://www.wis.edu.hk/working-with-us/" rel="nofollow">school based website</a> for further information.
