As we grow, we are seeking passionate, innovative and driven educators to step into a range of newly created Positions of Leadership. These roles present a unique opportunity to help shape and lead our senior school in its foundation years, contributing to a dynamic and future-focused learning environment.

This is more than a leadership opportunity. It is a chance to influence culture and make a lasting impact on the educational journey of our students. Join a vibrant, growing College community committed to excellence, innovation and the holistic development of every student, inspired by our motto Live Fully, Act Justly.

Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs currently provides education to over 1100 students in Melbourne’s West, with predicted enrolments of 1600 students by 2028.

The Humanities Learning Area Leader will be an expert reference for staff, students and families in the curriculum, pedagogy and assessment of the Humanities Learning Area.

They will support high‑quality teaching practice through contemporary, evidence‑informed pedagogy aligned with the MACS’ Vision for Instruction and will serve as the initial point of contact for Humanities‑related curriculum, assessment, teaching and student learning matters, ensuring timely, professional and collaborative resolution.

Student learning, growth and engagement will remain central to all Humanities Learning Area decisions, with the Leader actively supporting staff development, assessment integrity and data‑informed practice. The Humanities Learning Area Leader will work closely with the Director of Curriculum & Pedagogy to implement whole‑school priorities, contribute to cross‑curricular initiatives, and ensure that Humanities curriculum, assessment and documentation meet College and sector requirements.

As a member of the College staff, the Humanities Learning Area Leader will promote and uphold the Catholic values of the College and present a positive and appropriate public profile.
