Job overview

ELTHAM College has been educating young women and men for the past 40 years. The College was conceived in 1973 as a new concept in independent, coeducational schooling. It was founded by a dynamic group of community members who were seeking schooling for their children that would look beyond average educational practice to education that fostered the talents, confidence, initiative and passion for learning in every individual.

Our location in the Nillumbik Shire, northeast of Melbourne, is no accident. Historically this district has inspired free thought and innovation. For years, artists, writers and intellectuals have been drawn to Nillumbik as a pivotal centre for inspiration. The notion of ELTHAM as one of Australia’s few truly independent schools was founded within this creative culture.

We are looking for an exciting, innovative teacher who is responsive to change and able to teach French from Year 7 – 12 level using a communicative approach to language. This is a full-time teaching load, commencing Term 1 2019.

ELTHAM College is committed to global awareness and global citizenship. We have a strong Language program. Language is a core study until the end of Year 9.

ELTHAM has an active policy of encouraging language teachers to maintain their proficiency through professional development and visitation to the relevant country/countries.

Exchange and Sister School arrangements are an important component of our language experience. We have a Sister School in Montpellier. Study tours to France occur annually.

Intending applicants are invited to submit a full curriculum vitae with names of three referees by Wednesday 14 November 2018 to employment@elthamcollege.vic.edu.au.

About Eltham

ELTHAM is an academic school like no other. We’re constantly adapting to the changing needs of young people and their world. We support them on their learning journey to unlock their talents through one of Victoria’s broadest curriculums. Most importantly, our teachers guide each young person to become empowered with the self-confidence and independence to manage all aspects of their future lives.


We aim for our graduates to step into life after school as proactive young people, equipped with the skills and desire to continue successful learning.


Not only do we make learning exciting and relevant to life, we also create a liberating environment where teachers and students share trust and friendship and work together in mutual respect.


Our culture is also about teaching self-discipline. We do not have a one-size fits all policy, but instead foster a culture and program that works with each individual, that empowers them to own their behaviour, be accountable and develop as resilient young men and women.
