An opportunity exists for an experienced and committed school leader to take on the permanent role of Principal and lead the Miallo State School community to sustain its strong outcomes, build on its existing strengths and embrace opportunities for continued growth.
As Principal, you will provide strategic, values-based leadership and work collaboratively with students, staff, families and the broader community to develop and implement a shared educational vision focused on quality learning outcomes for every student. You will lead with integrity and purpose, establishing high expectations for student achievement, staff performance and professional practice.
About Us
We are more than an award-winning school-more than a record of high achievement in academics, sport, arts and student leadership. We are a family-orientated school over 100 years old where traditions are valued and innovation is embraced.
Our school is considered a leader in the field of explicit teaching pedagogy. Winning the 'Network Ten Excellence in the Early Phase of Learning Showcase Award' for the FNQ Region is a testament to our outstanding work in this field.
We are located approximately ten kilometres from Mossman in Far North Queensland. Our school borders the rainforest-fringed Miallo Creek and is nestled in a rural area amongst cane fields and breathtaking scenery. Our students come from the surrounding areas of Miallo, Whyanbeel Valley, Bamboo, Syndicate and Rocky Point, but also travel from Newell Beach, Mossman and Port Douglas.
Your Opportunity
You will be responsible for delivering the department's vision and driving continuous improvement in the quality of teaching and learning. This includes creating a positive and inclusive school culture, embedding socially just practices and nurturing strong relationships across the school community.
A key component of the role will be building productive partnerships with parents, government agencies, community organisations, industry and business to strengthen opportunities and outcomes for students. You will foster a collaborative environment where staff are supported to engage in lifelong learning and ongoing professional development, while encouraging innovation and high-quality educational practice.
The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to lead with strong ethical and moral purpose, inspire others and bring people together around a shared vision. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the school's direction, strengthening its connections with the community and ensuring students are supported to achieve their best.
Reporting to the School Supervisor, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting contribution through strong educational leadership, purposeful partnerships and a commitment to improving outcomes for all students.
