Job overview
Macau Anglican College is seeking a vibrant and detail-oriented music educator to lead their Secondary Music team. As the Lead Teacher of Secondary Music you will be leading two other teachers within the department and will be responsible for the direction of the Secondary Music program. You will also need to coordinate with the Lead Teacher of Primary Music in order to create a smooth transition for students as they graduate primary and move into secondary and report regularly to the Head of Secondary in school-wide matters.
Macau Anglican College is a K1-F6 institute that delivers a combination of local and international curricula, with secondary students having an option to take IGCSE, AS and A levels in Forms 4-6. Secondary students also participate in compulsory music class until Form 5, and are streamed into Band, Strings and General music classes from Form 1 to 4. The college also boasts many after school ensembles, including Symphonic Wind Band, Concert Band, Vocal Group, Big Band and String Ensemble. There are 2 major in-school performances that the music department hosts each year while also supporting various activities both within the college and in the wider community.
The music department at the college has enjoyed significant growth over the last 5 years and it would be hoped that the new Lead Teacher of Secondary Music would continue the enhancement of the program. This role would be best suited to an educator with leadership experience or an experienced music educator that is seeking leadership opportunities. Experience with Concert Band directing and teaching IGCSE/AS/A level music would be an advantage, but applicants without this should also consider applying.
