The Department of Education are dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce that reflects the community and schools we support by treating everyone with respect and dignity.

This starts with recruitment and selection.
The methods of assessing suitability in the recruitment process may vary.
This includes making reasonable adjustments to support applicants at all stages of the process and employee lifecycle.

Our school is a Kindy - Year 10 remote indigenous community school on the Gulf of Carpentaria in Far North Queensland with an enrolment of approximately 220 students.

Situated 600km North West of Cairns the community of approximately 1200 people is isolated during the wet season each year.

Access to the school and community at this time is only by plane.

During the dry season (latter half of the year) vehicle access can occur, but only if the roads are passable.

This isolation has an impact on student mobility during the year.
