Hume Anglican Grammar – About the school: 

With growth comes opportunity. Advance your career! 

Hume Anglican Grammar is a multi-campus co-educational Anglican Diocesan School offering education from Prep to Year 12 in the Northern growth corridor of Melbourne. 

• Hume has an open enrolment policy so educates children from many faiths and with a diverse range of backgrounds and abilities. 

• The School aspires to develop young people who are kind, creative, inquiring, socially and emotionally at ease, and who strive to achieve their personal best in all their endeavours. 

• With campuses already in Mickleham, Donnybrook and Kalkallo, the School has announced its acquisition of a 10-hectare parcel of land in Wollert for its fourth campus planned to open in 2033. This campus will comprise another two Primary schools and a Secondary school and when it reaches its capacity, will enrol over 2,500 students. In all, Hume Anglican Grammar will ultimately educate over 6,000 students. 

• As one of Victoria’s fastest growing schools, it is expected to be one of the largest non-government schools in the state, with plans for further expansion. 

A Head of Faculty drives the scope and sequence of the academic program and provides expert advice to the teachers within their learning area to deliver a relevant, stimulating and effective teaching program. Equipped with extensive knowledge of their specific discipline, and knowledge of contemporary teaching and learning practices, the Head of Faculty will encourage a safe, stimulating and challenging environment, whilst promoting the School's philosophy, policies and procedures.

The Head of Faculty is recognised and respected by colleagues, parents and community members as a model teacher. They have demonstrated consistent and innovative teaching practice and the ability to successfully initiate and lead activities that focus on improving educational opportunities for all students. They continue to seek ways to improve their own practice and to share their experience with colleagues. They are skilled in mentoring teachers, using activities that develop knowledge, practice and professional engagement in others. They promote creative and innovative thinking among colleagues.

The Head of Faculty will encourage a learning ethos and maintain the growth of a high-performance culture of continuous improvement and individual merit. They will promote teaching and learning as the core business of the School, facilitating and fostering a positive and productive learning climate for staff and students. 

Due to the significant role the Head of Faculty plays in the overall leadership of the School, it is expected there will be some additional out-of-hours and non-school day commitment.
