Classroom Teacher - Physical Education in Melbourne

Located in Altona, within a short walking distance of the beach and Cherry Lake Reserve, Seaholme Primary School prides itself on being a small community school. Our students have access to innovative and engaging classroom spaces in permanent buildings. Over recent years, the school council has developed playground areas to make them attractive, safe, and stimulating for our students. These extensive grounds and gardens include an oval, running track, basketball court, six down-ball courts, three adventure playgrounds, two sandpits, and a rebound wall.

At Seaholme Primary School, we work with our community to ensure 'Success for All'. We provide an inclusive, stimulating, creative and challenging learning environment where students are encouraged and enabled to achieve their personal best. They are supported to grow socially, emotionally and academically and become respectful, responsible and resilient members of a global community.

We offer a robust educational experience for all students through effective communication, strong collaboration and high impact, research-based teaching practices. Seaholme Primary School provides an outstanding teaching and learning program in all curriculum areas and continues to achieve excellent academic results. Additional programs include Visual Art, STEM, Physical Education and Mandarin. TeamKids Out of School Hours Care, swimming, camps for years 2-6, lunchtime clubs, instrumental music, incursions and excursions are provided to support every student to reach their full potential.

The active participation of parents and carers within the school community is a highly valued feature of our school. A strong partnership with parents and the wider community has been developed and is considered essential in our endeavours to ensure success for every child.
