Cambridge High School (CHS) is a co-educational school, established in 1883, with a roll of approximately 1,800 students. CHS serves the interests of the community incredibly well, meeting the varied academic, trades, cultural, and sporting needs of our students. Places at CHS are highly sought after, with families choosing to move into town to gain access to the school.
We have an exciting opportunity to join our social sciences faculty. Ideally, you are ready to deliver Geography at Level 1, 2, and 3. The department achieves excellent results and puts a strong emphasis on field trips as a way of strengthening learning. These consist of Maungatautari Ecological Island at Level 1, Mount Maunganui at Level 2 (2 days), Waihi Beach in Level 3 (2 days), and regular overseas trips – the last one to Samoa. The subject delivers regular NCEA Scholarship success and sits among other strong social science subjects of history, classical studies, psychology, and tourism. Within the faculty, you will experience a supportive, friendly, and success-driven atmosphere where individuality is encouraged and growth as an educational leader is promoted.
There is some flexibility in the faculty, and we are interested in all candidates with training in social sciences, as we can arrange the teaching load around the expertise of the successful applicant.
We will interview applicants as applications are received. Please submit your application at your earliest convenience to secure an appointment as soon as possible.
