Taipa Area School Northland

English teacher Y10–13

At Taipa Area School, we have a vision statement that resonates with our whānau and community: “Kia ngātahi te hoe, kia whakatere te waka ki uta” (Navigate together for success). The foundations of this vision are in developing genuine relationships with our students, which allow them a strong sense of belonging, safety and the ability to achieve. Most of the students whakapapa to the iwi of Ngāti Kahu.

Our school vision embraces our local history, culture, and language. We invite applications for a permanent English teaching position commencing at mid-term 2, 2025 or by negotiation. Achievement in English at Taipa Area School has been excellent over the past five years. Therefore, we seek an innovative and enthusiastic teacher with exemplary achievements in teaching NCEA English to continue this. The faculty is collegial, well-resourced and has a relational approach to delivering engaging lessons.

Doubtless Bay is an excellent place to live and work. Our school backs onto Taipa Beach, which we guarantee is the best open-air classroom in Northland.

Our school is on a waka, which puts student wellbeing and attainment at the heart of everything we do. We have three strong values of Manaakitanga, Painga and Mahitahi, which we live and breathe daily.
