Teacher of Mathematics, Years 7 to 12
Full-time, permanent position commencing in 2027
Canterbury College is an Anglican ELC to Year 12 school whose academic record stands among the strongest in Queensland. In 2025, more than half of our ATAR-eligible Year 12 students achieved an ATAR of 90 or above. That result was produced by a community that expects its students to excel in the classroom while they compete in sport, perform on stage, serve others and lead among their peers.
Canterbury serves the fast-growing corridor of Logan, the northern Gold Coast, the Scenic Rim and southern Brisbane. We are a Microsoft Beacon School and a member of Round Square, and everything we do is directed toward graduates who are World Ready. Mathematics sits at the centre of that ambition. Our students go on to medicine, engineering, economics, data science and the physical sciences, and they reach those fields because their mathematics teachers asked a great deal of them.
