Position Information
Jindabyne High School* will be a newly established school scheduled to be opened in 2024. It will be co-located next to the newly established Jindabyne Public School on the Barry Way and located next to the NSW Sport and Recreation Centre. This exciting project provides Jindabyne with a new primary school and new high school located at the Jindabyne Education Campus. It will see the transition of Jindabyne Central School into two separate schools. The appointment of the Jindabyne High School* Teacher Librarian is being sought now to undertake duties of the library component of the current central school, support the progress of the SINSW building project and prepare for transition to the new site in 2024.
Jindabyne is located at the base of the Snowy Mountains on Ngarigo land approximately 2 hours south of Canberra. Jindabyne High School* currently has a student population of approximately 370 students (approximately 3% identifying as Aboriginal) and the planned build caters for expansion to approximately 500 students. The school caters for a diverse student population and places a strong focus on academic success to meet student need, student aspiration and the provision of opportunity.
The new facility will support a focus on successful pathways to post school destinations including tertiary study and trades-based employment and study. The 7 to 12 curriculum is responsive and flexible with streamlined transition points throughout each student's schooling life. Excellence in Literacy, Numeracy and HSC is a strong focus and students are provided with a wide range of extracurricular opportunities across all fields of interest to meet the needs of every child. The school’s unique context provides opportunity for a variety of specialised programs. Strong parent and community partnerships support enriched learning experiences and provide meaningful connections to broader perspectives and opportunities. The unique context of this school sees student enrolments increase through winter requiring innovation and collaboration to support student success.
