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.
ELTHAM teaches 2 languages: Chinese and French. All students study a LOTE until the end of Year 9. The College has an active policy of encouraging language teachers to maintain their proficiency through professional development and visitation to the relevant country. Exchange and Sister School arrangements are another important component of our language experience. Sister Schools have been established in Beijing, Shanghai, Montpellier and Okinawa. Study tours occur every two years.
This is a full-time permanent position commencing Term 1 2019. We are looking for an exciting, innovative teacher who is able to teach Mandarin Chinese from Year 7 through to Year 12 level.

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.
