The College is situated on spacious and attractive grounds, approximately 40 kilometres north of the growing lifestyle cities of Albury and Wodonga.

This is all underpinned by a caring, compassionate, and Christ-centred environment. Students are challenged to strive for academic excellence, where “academic” is understood in a broader sense to mean having clear focus, commitment, and dedication to learning in the pursuit of higher achievement. A sense of community is at the forefront of what we do. The attention and individual support we provide caters to all learning styles. </p><p>Our rural setting means we have a unique opportunity to offer distinctive Agriculture and Equine programs.

They will lead and manage staff with integrity and compassion to create a learning culture that is complete, distinctive, and of quality. </p><p>Over the past several years the College has undergone a significant transformation with the provision of new and refurbished facilities for both students and staff, enabling access to contemporary and functional learning spaces. In addition, the College has recently introduced the Spanish language; enrolled students from other countries; and established international learning opportunities. Finally, in the last year St Paul’s has experienced a substantial increase in enrolments, causing the need to establish waitlists at various levels. The current challenge for this position includes sustaining and continuing this growth with respect to our core values. </p><p>Further information on St Paul’s College is available from our website: </p><p>https://www.stpaulscollege.nsw.edu.au </p><p>Position commences: 01­01­2022 or by negotiation.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
