Kindergarten Teacher (English Speaking)

International Chinese School is a ministry of the Anglican Church serving families seeking a bilingual Christian education. ICS is a K-6 school conveniently located in St Leonards on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

For Term 2, the School seeks a qualified, NESA-approved Kindergarten Teacher (English-speaking) for a small class within our tight-knit community.

The school offers a bilingual immersion program, and 50% of the teaching week is delivered in Mandarin. English-speaking teachers deliver the English component to a class, with Mandarin-speaking teachers the Chinese component. In addition to Mandarin language learning, this approach requires the delivery of some KLAs in Mandarin.

The positions may be offered as either full-time or part-time roles. The School is also interested in candidates seeking casual employment.
