Gawler Lutheran Schools

Gawler Lutheran Schools is a vibrant and nurturing co-ed school offering holistic, contemporary education to over 350 students from Foundation to Year 6, across both Immanuel Gawler (primary school) and over 60 students at Zion Preschool (Early Learning) campuses. There are also plans to expand and create a high school in order to meet demand in the region. With a strong sense of community, Immanuel Gawler and Zion Preschool provide learning environments where each child develops their best self, inspires others, and is empowered to contribute to the world around them.

A unique opportunity has been created for a Principal to lead Gawler Lutheran Schools to remain a thriving educational leader in the rapidly growing and developing Gawler region. Reporting to the Board, the Principal’s key responsibilities include:

providing faith-aligned educational leadership that embodies, models and promotes the Christ-centred Lutheran values and ethos of the School;

building deep, authentic relationships with staff, students, parents, key stakeholders and the wider community;
developing and implementing curriculum enhancements and achieving strategic objectives through structured planning processes;
overseeing the development and maintenance of contemporary educational facilities while ensuring sound governance of financial and physical resources.

Applications are invited from experienced educational leaders with exceptional leadership, communication and strategic planning skills, along with strong business acumen. Candidates must demonstrate a clear vision, creative thinking and the capacity to identify and pursue innovative opportunities that enhance learning and advance the strategic objectives of the school. Exceptional relationship skills, warmth, empathy, contemporary pedagogical credibility and a genuine affinity with the ethos of Gawler Lutheran Schools will be important. Accredited as a teacher and leader in Lutheran schools, you must be eligible for registration as a teacher in South Australia and hold appropriate academic credentials relevant to the role, such as postgraduate administration or management qualifications.
