IB DP Teacher

Introduction:

Mulgrave School teachers inspire students to achieve their personal best by providing a rich and engaging programme that develops students’ skills, promotes curiosity and love of learning, and prioritises well-being.

All students follow the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) in Grades 6-10, and most students pursue the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11 & 12, although about 20% each year opt for an Enriched Pathway to graduation that includes a mix of DP and other courses. Teaching and learning are enriched by opportunities for exploration in the arts, athletics, outdoor education, service, leadership, and more.

We are seeking inspirational, experienced teachers for several key DP subjects. The flexibility to teach multiple subjects and/or levels is especially advantageous. Most DP teachers also teach MYP courses as well, usually in Grades 9 & 10.
