Adventure Awaits.

Are you called to the Red Centre? Are you looking for an opportunity to make an impact and expand the Kingdom on earth. Araluen Christian College is seeking a Teacher Aide to help provide classroom and individual support. You can be the Lord’s hands and feet, serving in the Alice Springs community and join along the education journey of students from the local community.

“At Araluen Christian College, our community of learning is intentionally shaped by people who acknowledge that how we live our lives, including our vocation, is part of how we worship God. Students engage with learning that forms their whole being as they grow and discover their identity in Christ. Our staff, in positive partnership with each other, with parents and the broader community, foster learning that is dedicated to the pursuit of educational excellence and the spiritual growth of the whole college community.” -Rob Pople, Principal, Araluen Christian College

As committed Christians, Araluen’s staff and teaching team do not view their jobs as simply earning a living, but as opportunities to make a difference in the lives of the children with whom they interact. They believe that students are individuals and endeavour to love, nurture, help, protect and prepare them through positive teaching. At Araluen Christian College, our teaching strategies are based on the concept of formational learning – an approach which helps students respond with their head, heart and hands. Our goal is to help them learn about God’s world and to find their hope in Christ.
