Teacher Trainee

Launceston Christian School is a co-educational independent K-12 Christian School on one campus, set beside the beautiful Tamar River with views to the mountains.  The school is distinctively Christ-centred and is committed to providing for the spiritual, emotional, social, physical and academic flourishing of all school community members.  We are proud to offer a quality Christian education within a nurturing and supportive environment, where each student is encouraged to find their identity in Christ and celebrated for their God-given uniqueness.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Teacher Trainee to join our school community in January 2027.

Our teacher trainee model is unique and different from the standard pathway to teaching:

• Teacher Trainees undertake their role with a view to complete an accredited initial teacher education (ITE) course through Alphacrucis University College and to enter employment with Launceston Christian School as a registered teacher upon course completion.
• Teacher Trainees are employed part-time at our school and work alongside a mentor teacher for each year of their employment/training and will undertake progressive duties over this period to build their practice skills in preparation for graduate teaching proficiency.
• On successful graduation and ongoing employment at the school, a significant contribution towards course fees is offered.

If you are interested in Christian Education and want to learn in a community, be employed in a community and mentored in a community, then please consider applying for an LCS Teacher Traineeship position for next year.

Applicants will need to be:

• Practicing Christians, actively involved in their local church and able to subscribe to the School’s Mission Statement and Educational Creed
• Eligible to undertake full-time study with Alphacrucis.  Pathways are available for both Primary and Secondary teacher training.
• Registered with a current Working With Vulnerable People (Employment) Card

Commencement:  27^th January 2027
