Position Information

At GEPS, everyone from the youngest student to the principal is a learner.

The English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D) Team works collaboratively across the school, moving fluidly between the K-2 team and the 3-6 team to provide both small group and whole class support. As we have a high number of new arrival students, the EAL/D teacher will be required to withdraw students to provide functional English Language support. The successful applicant will need to work as an integral member of the learning and support team as well as take initiative to work independently.
