<p><b>ABOUT US </b></p><p>Harkaway Hills College is an independent school teaching the Catholic faith in Narre Warren North. The College currently educates 165 students from Pre-Prep to Grade 7. Each coming year, the College will be opening a new year level, through to Grade 12. </p><p>The College is a project of the Parents for Education (PARED) Victoria Foundation. It is founded on the principles that parents are the primary educators of their children, and that schools exist to support parents in this role. This support is found in the quality of the academic curriculum, in the way that staff work with students and parents in a unique mentoring program, in the emphasis on character development and virtues in the curriculum, and in the concern that staff and peer example be fully positive and supportive of parents. </p><p>The College is currently seeking Secondary teachers (Grade 7 &amp; 8) specialising in the Humanities (English, History and Geography) who can also teach Religious Education (Catholic) and Drama. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the curriculum development and formation of a new college of educational excellence.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><b>ROLE DESCRIPTION </b></p><p>Reports to: Principal </p><p>Job Type: Part-time contract with the possibility of permanent ongoing</p><p>Work Eligibility: Permitted to work permanently with no restriction on hours </p><p>All Secondary School staff are expected to reflect the vision, mission and values of PARED Victoria in the way that they perform their role, and in the relationships they form with all members of the school community.
