We are seeking a skilled teacher of Geography with passion and enthusiasm for the subject for this 13 week contract commencing start of Week 8 Term 1 to end of Term 2 2020.

The Geography team prides itself on a collaborative approach where innovation and creativity are welcomed and encouraged. The subject is well resourced with a clearly structured teaching and learning program in line with the Australian Curriculum.
In Geography classes students gain a spatial, environmental and social view of contemporary society through topics such as urbanisation, population, processes at work on the landscape, wellbeing, globalisation and environmental quality. The inquiry-based, practical, student-centred curriculum allows students to develop problem solving and report writing skills. The use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is an integral part of geographic learning from Years 7-12.
Pembroke is a school with a strong tradition of success in Geography with the subject being taught both in the Middle School and in the Senior School through SACE and IB courses. The successful applicant would be expected to contribute to this positive culture of Geography at the School.
