Position Information

Gresford Public School is a caring school community in a rural area of the Hunter Valley committed to achieving high educational outcomes for all students. This commitment is evidenced in the range and depth of both curricular and extra-curricular programs offered after careful analysis of student needs. Student enrolment for 2025 is 48, with an increasing range of diversity.

Academic needs are provided for through the flexible organisation of available staffing and the offer of a range of support programs designed to both extend and consolidate student learning, including Learning Support, small group instruction, and differentiation for High Potential and Gifted students.

Enrichment programs, such as STEAM and Creative Arts, cater for individual student needs and provide opportunities for all students to achieve their inquiry and creative potential.

As part of the Dungog Community of Schools, Gresford Public School will continue to be involved in collaboratively determined group curriculum concepts such as the Aboriginal Cultural Days, the High Potential and Gifted Education Initiative, the STEAM initiatives and needs-based teacher professional learning in the area of explicit teaching and other relevant transition and wellbeing programs.

Our school seeks to maximise student learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy through extensive data and evidence-based practice. Teachers will engage in high-impact professional learning based on the most current research in explicit teaching to strengthen teaching practices to identify and address student needs.
