• Integrate coding and robotics into entrepreneurial themes, lesson plans, innings and outings.
• Work collaboratively with fellow educators and attend weekly development sessions.
• Communicate clearly and kindly with parents to foster trust and partnership.

Requirements:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Education (appropriate to primary school phases) – non-negotiable
• SACE-registered with permanent certification
• 5–7 years’ experience teaching in primary schools
• Strong experience in teaching coding and robotics (especially Scratch) to young learners
