Teachers wanted – for a transformative journey
At Waimairi School, we exist to create powerful learning that transforms—not just for students, but for teachers too. This is not a job where you simply deliver lessons. It’s a place where you’ll be challenged, supported, and expected to grow.
The work won’t be easy. Rapid change. Relentless pursuit of impact. Safe return to comfort zones doubtful. But if you believe learning should be vibrant, innovative, and deeply connected to people, you’ll thrive here. You won’t do this alone. You’ll be part of a team that pushes, supports, and walks this journey with you.
You’ll be part of a team living our VIBE :
* Vibrant learning-centred culture —where curiosity and challenge drive everything
* Innovation for continual improvement —because we don’t settle for ‘good enough’
* Belonging through authentic partnerships —building deep partnerships with learners, whānau, and each other
* Evaluation for impact —engaging in professional inquiry, learning walks, and principled storytelling to sharpen our collective practice
To thrive here, you’ll need:
* A deep understanding of effective teaching practice
* The ability to build strong, authentic partnerships with learners and whānau
* An innovative mindset for continual improvement
* An openness to professional learning, active introspection, metacognition, and applying feedback for growth
This role is for educators who ask big questions, reflect deeply, and want to make a real difference. If you’re passionate about transformative learning and ready to grow in a school that’s always evolving, we’d love to meet you.
If you’re ready to be part of something bigger than yourself—if you’re willing to step into the unknown, challenge the norm, and learn alongside a reflective, forward-thinking team—then we’re waiting for you. Are you in?
