• Confidence using CAS and other mathematical technologies within teaching, learning and assessment.

• The ability to use assessment data, examination reports and student performance to inform teaching.

• Clear, structured classroom practice that supports academically capable students while identifying gaps in understanding.

• A collaborative approach to curriculum planning, moderation and senior Mathematics delivery.

Experience teaching Mathematical Methods alongside Specialist Mathematics would also be highly regarded.

• Deliver engaging and academically rigorous VCE Specialist Mathematics across relevant Units 1–4.

• Plan curriculum and assessment in line with current VCAA requirements.

• Develop students' mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, modelling and proof skills.

• Design, assess and moderate coursework and prepare students effectively for VCE examinations.

• Monitor student progress and communicate clearly with students, families and colleagues.

• Collaborate with the Mathematics faculty to maintain consistency across senior programs.

• Maintain high standards of student wellbeing, safeguarding and classroom practice.

• Registration: Current VIT registration or eligibility to obtain registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

• Specialist Experience: Experience teaching VCE Specialist Mathematics Units 1–2 and/or Units 3–4, with demonstrated capability to deliver the full senior pathway.

• Work Rights: Full Australian working rights are essential.

• Safeguarding: Applicants must provide two current referees and complete HARKE’s onboarding process to meet safeguarding requirements.

• Applicants must be willing to support the values and ethos of a Catholic school community.
