Join our team as a Primary Teacher at St Patrick's Catholic School, Winton.

We’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Primary Teacher with tertiary qualifications and registration (or eligibility) with the Queensland College of Teachers. This position is for a Fixed Term, Part Time (18 hours per week) position for the 2026 school year teaching across multiple year levels.

You’ll join a supportive team of committed teachers who work together in partnership with the parent community to create the best possible learning experience for every student. Your understanding of contemporary teaching practices, and your ability to adapt and support a diverse range of learners, will help every child feel included, valued, and confident.

In your classroom, you’ll spark curiosity and a love of learning by designing engaging lessons, setting clear expectations, and continually reflecting on your practice to keep improving. You’ll use a range of assessment tools to understand each student’s progress, celebrate their growth, and give meaningful feedback that helps them thrive.

Guided by Catholic values, you’ll embrace the school’s mission, prioritise student safety and wellbeing, and help create a welcoming, supportive environment where every learner feels they belong.

In the heart of Queensland’s outback, Winton is a place of big skies, rich history, and unforgettable landscapes. Known as the birthplace of Waltzing Matilda and home to world-class dinosaur fossil discoveries, it’s a town that blends a proud pioneering spirit with a warm, close-knit community. Surrounded by red-earth plains and just a short drive from the dramatic jump-ups of the outback, Winton offers a true sense of adventure and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a welcoming regional community — a uniquely rewarding place to live and work.
