Teacher - Primary, Kindergarten to Year 6, Dunkeld State School
Dunkeld State School, Darling Downs South West Region
Dunkeld State School, located in Queensland’s remote South West, is seeking a flexible and community-minded teacher to teach a Kindy to Year 6 composite class in a multi- age setting (0.8 FTE). Based at Dunkeld State School, the role includes teaching across both Dunkeld (0.5 FTE confirmed) and nearby Begonia State School (0.3 FTE confirmed for 2027), offering a opportunity to make a significant impact in small rural school communities. This position would suit an experienced and adaptable educator, with previous experience in multi-age composite classrooms highly desirable. Applicants should be aware that this is an isolated location, with the nearest fuel service station approximately 75km from available housing at Begonia State School, making access to a reliable vehicle essential. Both principals are open to discussing the position and arrangements with interested candidates.
