Dear Colleagues

We are seeking casual teaching staff to join our casual roster at Hunter River Community School. As a unique setting, it is essential that you understand a few key points about our school:

1. Hunter River Community School or HRCS is situated in Metford, NSW, Australia

2. Hunter River Community School is a School for Specific Purposes (SSP). All of the students who attend HRCS have significant and complex disabilities

3. Our students have difficulty with self regulation and often will display challenging behaviours– this may include aggressive behaviours that can unintentionally be    directed toward others

4. A percentage of our students have complex medical conditions that significantly impact on their day at school

5. Almost 70% of our students have very limited verbal skills and are non-verbal. They use a diverse range of communication supports

6. All students have Personalised Learning and Support Plans that have been created within the Learning Support Team forum

7. As a casual coming into our school, it is expected that you bring some                   activities and lessons that can be delivered during the day

8.  An onsite induction will need to be completed prior to a casual day at our school.  Our                 induction officer is on site, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from           9.30am—3.00pm.

If you feel confident that you would like to work in our school, given the information above, book your local site induction on the following link:
