Teacher of Geography

Permanent, Full-time | Start Date: Term 4, 2025 or Term 1, 2026

Are you a passionate teacher of the social sciences who is:

• committed to enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi
  
• passionate about future-focused, student-centred pedagogy
  
• committed to reflective and collaborative practice
  
• optimistic, innovative, and ready to grow?
  

We are seeking a social sciences teacher with the ability to teach Geography to NCEA Level 3 and Scholarship - to join a dynamic, supportive team in our innovative and future-focused school.

You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues to design learning that is rich, relevant, and challenging. As a learning coach, you’ll also support a small group of students to develop the dispositions, skills, and confidence they need to thrive in life beyond school.

At HPSS, relationships are at the heart of learning. We’re proud to be a caring, inclusive community where both staff and students are genuinely supported to succeed. Teachers often say they feel re-energised and empowered by our approach.

We are deeply committed to enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi and embedding mātauranga Māori, Te Reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori in meaningful and authentic ways. In close partnership with Te Kawerau ā Maki, we support all staff to develop culturally sustaining and relational pedagogies, underpinned by restorative practice.

If you’re excited about teaching in a school that values innovation, care, and connection, we’d love to hear from you.
