The School Librarian has an essential and unique specialist role to play in supporting pupils" learning and their development into effective, independent learners and readers.

The School Librarian should be:

a partner with teaching staff in the education process
a partner in supporting individual learning styles
an acknowledged expert in resource and information provision and management
a leader and partner with teaching staff in the collaborative design and implementation of information literacy programmes throughout the school
a leader in creating and developing a climate to promote and support reading for pleasure across the school
an acknowledged partner with all departments to effectively support and resource each age group
a partner in out of hours learning

The school has been recently acquired and it is now time for an exciting and energetic improvement and enrichment program. There is a new American principal in place with a wealth of local and managerial experience and she is seeking a motivated team of educators to take the school to the next level.

Although this is a private school candidates need to know that the school population is entirely local from KG to grade 12 with gender segregation beginning from Grade 4. All children speak English as a second language, so please do not expect a western expatriate teaching experience.
