About Us
The primary aim of the Perth Waldorf School (PWS) is the provision of high quality education based on the insights of Rudolf Steiner. Based in the southern suburb of Bibra Lake, we provide a Steiner Education for children from early childhood (Playgroup, Kindergarten) to Class 12. With over 540 children in attendance and 100 staff members, PWS is committed to delivering a curriculum that is culturally rich, integrated and artistic. Feedback from our Class 12 Graduates is that they have been seen and supported as individuals by their teachers, the curriculum is enlivening and enjoyable and they move into tertiary study with confidence.
Perth Waldorf School’s successful development has been a result of active, conscientious work including positive leadership. It is vital that this is maintained and enhanced by you. We are not seeking a disrupter eager to make their mark and move up the ladder but a team player who loves the art of leadership and helping others achieve their potential. You will engage with all aspects of the school and you will play a supportive role to the School Administrator (Principal).

This role is critical to the success of the school and will require an individual with proven leadership potential who can demonstrate the expertise and proficiency needed in supporting a highly successful school with a focus initially on the High School.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate a strong commitment and advocacy for the Steiner philosophy, a willingness to authentically develop their wisdom from engagement with anthroposophy and have knowledge of curriculum management towards meeting the needs of students who stand before us.

The ability to create and maintain a warm, caring and enthusiastic culture among staff and students is essential.
A current Working with Children Check and registration with the Teachers Registration Board of Western Australia (or the capacity to successfully achieve both of these), is essential.
A remuneration package linked to similar positions in West Australian state schools will be negotiated with the successful applicant. A minimum starting salary being $116,000 AUD. The school would consider supporting relocation costs to Perth for the right applicant.

With a new General Manager on board we are preparing for a new and exciting growth phase and are looking for proactive and enthusiastic teachers to join the team. At this point we are looking for two certified teachers, one senior and one junior, for either a term 1 2020 or term 4 2019 start.
