At Taipa Area School, we have a vision statement that resonates with our whānau and community: ‘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 personal goals. 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 the start of Term one 2024. 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.

A schoolhouse is available for this position.

Our school is on a waka, which puts student well-being 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.

This vacancy is an exciting opportunity for an NZ registered teacher to add value to and grow within a supportive, thriving, well-resourced team.

Applicants must be eligible to work in New Zealand.

Join our whānau and community at Taipā Area School, where our vision statement of ‘Navigate together for success’ guides our commitment to developing strong relationships with our ākonga. The majority of our community whakapapa to the iwi of Ngāti Kahu, and we believe in providing them with a strong sense of belonging, safety, and the ability to achieve. We are excited to offer a full-time deputy principal role for term one of 2024 to a passionate and dedicated educator who shares our values of Manaakitanga, Painga, and Mahitahi.

We are looking for a candidate with exceptional teaching abilities, knowledge of Matauranga Māori, and experience driving pedagogical growth and promoting inclusivity throughout our school. Additionally, the ideal candidate should be able to develop timetables and curriculum and create opportunities for cross-curricular, transdisciplinary, and authentic learning experiences.

Our school has recently expanded with ten new learning spaces and a brand-new gymnasium, and we’re currently building six more classrooms to accommodate our growing roll for the start of 2024.

Our school has the advantage of having Taipā Beach right behind it, which offers a fantastic outdoor classroom for our students to learn from the ocean, estuary, and whenua. If you are a registered New Zealand teacher/leader seeking a supportive, thriving, and well-resourced team, we invite you to contact Zinnia Smith at zinnias@taipa.school.nz. She can arrange a visit and tour of our school or a conversation with our Principal, David Lowe, to help you decide if this exciting opportunity is right for you.
