Kalinda Primary School is an open plan design so that learning is facilitated with a variety of teachers in team teaching situations.

Our Purpose
Our learning community is founded upon quality relationships underpinned by our commitment to Positive Education.  Positive Education brings together the science of Positive Psychology with best practice teaching to encourage and support individuals, schools and communities to flourish.  We are committed to developing the whole child and lifelong love of learning.  Our students gain a high level of literacy, numeracy and critical 21st century skills.  They engage in a range of learning experiences, which challenge and extend their critical thinking, creativity and imagination, problem solving, collaboration and teamwork.  Through these experiences our students gain those competencies and confidence needed for further education and the achievement of a quality lifestyle in a constantly changing global community.

We are seeking a dedicated, enthusiastic, engaging staff member who will provide high quality care for our students and staff.  Applicants must be prepared to work as part of a professional learning team, to be knowledgeable and skilled in current trends and possess a high level of skill in ICT.

Applicants must also be committed to working in multi-disciplinary team situations and be part of a whole school team and other teams throughout the school.
