The ability to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching practice and team performance is an important aspect of the role. Another key attribute is the ability to create environments conducive to learning and to provide educational opportunities that are purposeful and relevant, catering for different student learning needs.
The HOLA - Arts will ideally have the capacity to effectively build and maintain relationships with the broader arts community (especially music), as well as industry. Ideally the successful applicant should have experience in the coordination of events for secondary students.
As well as focusing on our students, Woodvale SC prioritises the professional growth and wellbeing of all staff. Our collaborative and supportive approach with staff has resulted in a positive school culture. Our whole school bespoke teaching and learning framework (fully implemented in 2023), ensures that all staff have a shared understanding of our pedagogical approach. We are committed to supporting staff through professional learning (both in-house and external) and leadership opportunities.
Woodvale SC has formed an Independent Public-School cluster with its local area intake primary schools. As a result, it is expected that the successful applicant will embrace this cluster approach and the opportunities it provides to work in collaboration with colleagues in each of the schools.
Located some 20 kilometres north of the city of Perth, Woodvale SC has approximately 1360 students from Years 7 to 12. The College enjoys the expertise of highly trained staff and a blend of staff at different career stages.
This selection process will initially be used to fill the above vacancy. Applicants assessed as suitable during this selection process may be considered for other similar vacancies that occur throughout our school for up to 12 months following this initial appointment. This includes circumstances where this position becomes subsequently vacant should the successful applicant decline or vacate the advertised position.

- Capacity to provide effective leadership in a diverse range of educational settings;
- High level of interpersonal and public relations skills that demonstrate the ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships to achieve planned outcomes;
- Professional knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge to ensure a high level of educational outcomes for all students (e.g. Aboriginal students, students from diverse ethnic backgrounds and students with special needs);
- Capacity to manage staff, physical and financial resources.
Applications will be assessed against the work related requirements of the position. The business needs of the school may also be considered. It is therefore recommended that you consider all information contained in the advertisement and any other related information before applying for the vacancy.
