About us
As the largest employer in the state, we provide public education and support the education of all students in WA.
We always act in the best interest of students and the community and aim to deliver a high quality education. Our belief is that all students have the capacity to learn and we empower the voice of children and young people to be partners in their education.
Our people are our most valuable assets and we treat them with respect and dignity, and offer fulfilling career opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds. Our workplaces are inclusive, culturally safe, and responsive.
We encourage applications from students in regional and remote areas as we have regional offices located around the state and are hoping to be able to offer traineeships in those offices.
