Canberra Grammar School welcomes applications for our next Head of Primary School, a vital role in the life and leadership of the School.
Our goal is to develop young people who are curious, creative, confident and compassionate citizens of the world. Over the past decade, Canberra Grammar School has become fully co-educational, grown significantly, redeveloped much of its magnificent campus, invigorated its professional culture, and implemented the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and Diploma Programme, with the Middle Years Programme soon to follow. Now is an exciting time to join us, as we build on this momentum and head towards our centenary in 2029.
Among our aims are to develop a distinctive Pre-School to Year 12 curriculum that is vertically and horizontally coherent, flexible, inclusive and enriched, brimming with challenge and opportunity; to know, nurture and respect our students in an inclusive and caring culture and in close partnership with their parents; to offer our staff a fulfilling and rewarding workplace; and to be a committed and connected community that is warmly responsive to our families.
Our new Head of Primary School will step into our vibrant and successful Primary community, leading over 900 students, their families and their dedicated teachers, inspiring them to realise these aspirations and ensure that our young people are ready for the world.
This role is an opportunity to shape the future of learning at the largest primary school in the national capital and one of the most dynamic centres of educational excellence in Australia.
