As a ‘next generation Catholic Learning Community’ we are designing and establishing the ‘new normal’ for preschool to post school learning in an environment characterised by a flexible, stage based curriculum which nurtures and grows faith-filled, curious children to become creative contributors and innovative problem solvers for a changing world. In 2022 we now enrol over 1400 students from Kindergarten to Year 11 in addition to 59 children per day in our long day centre with our first HSC cohort due to commence in 2023.</p> <p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Teacher Role Requirements</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">At St Luke’s, teachers strategically work in teams across a stage to collaboratively plan, prepare, teach, assess and evaluate student learning and are required to:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Support and assist the evangelising mission of Catholic education;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">See themselves as learners and be committed to ongoing professional learning;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Work collaboratively with other teachers to design inquiry learning experiences where students exercise choice to demonstrate knowledge and understanding;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Enhance social skills and nurture the growth of enterprise skills including critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration for each student;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Use diagnostic data, summative data and formative data, including observations, annotations and work samples, to inform ‘next steps’ for students, especially with literacy and numeracy;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Use digital technology as an enabler and accelerator for student learning and professional learning;</p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Regularly provide students with feedback as part of the teaching and learning cycle;&nbsp;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Demonstrate deep understanding of curriculum and pedagogy and how these underpin:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: circle"> <p dir="ltr">inquiry-based interdisciplinary learning (including STEM or PBL);</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: circle"> <p dir="ltr">creativity and critical thinking;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: circle"> <p dir="ltr">responses to complex real-world questions&nbsp; and authentic problems;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: circle"> <p dir="ltr">both consumption and production of technology.</p> </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Regularly provide students with feedback as part of the teaching and learning cycle; and,</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">Know and apply NESA and Catholic Education, Diocese of Parramatta (CEDP) requirements.</p> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div dir="ltr" align="left"> <table><colgroup><col></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td><br> <p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Application Requirements</strong></span></p> <br> <p dir="ltr">Prospective applicants are to express their interest by submitting a written application consisting of:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">One A4 page cover letter outlining why you are suitable for the position;</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">One A4 page responding to the criteria with hyperlinks to evidence of effective teaching practice which also relates to our <a href="https://www.stlukesmarsdenpark.catholic.edu.au/Learning/Our-6-Pillars-of-Learning">6 Pillars of Learning </a>within <a href="https://www.stlukesmarsdenpark.catholic.edu.au/Learning/The-Four-Schools">The Four Schools</a> of our pre-school to post-school learning community; and,</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc"> <p dir="ltr">One page resume with three referees.</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center"><strong>Applications are to be marked attention to the Principal Leader and&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center"><strong>emailed to <a href="mailto:jobsatslcc@parra.catholic.edu.au">jobsatslcc@parra.catholic.edu.au</a> by 9:00am, Monday 30 May, 2022.</strong></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>
