At Cardinia Primary School, our identity as a "Caring Family School" isn't just a motto, it's the ethos that shapes our entire community. Established in 1911, we are deeply rooted in the rural township of Cardinia, and our close-knit, community-oriented spirit is what truly sets us apart. We believe that a strong partnership between staff, students, parents, and the wider community is the foundation for a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment.
Our values are the pillars of our school culture. We don¿t just teach them; we live them. As a member of our team, you'll see these values in action every day:
We are proud to support a diverse range of students, including those with disabilities and additional needs. Our teaching programs are designed to meet individual learning needs, with a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Our specialist subjects, including Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Science, and Auslan, provide students with a rich, well-rounded education.
We empower our students to have a voice in their education. Through our active Junior School Council and the leadership roles of House Captains, students contribute to the school community and share their views. This commitment to student voice is a key part of our collaborative and respectful culture.
If you are a teacher who is passionate about building a strong community, fostering resilience and respect, and working as part of a dedicated team, you will thrive here. Our rural ethos and family-like atmosphere are what make Cardinia Primary School a truly special place to teach and to learn. We share the responsibility of creating a secure and welcoming environment for all, and we are looking for a colleague who shares this commitment.
