Interviews

Your application will be considered after the closing date. Your suitability for the role will be looked at in light of the job description, experience, qualification and skills requirements of the role. Interviews will be offered to the best suited candidates.

Interviews are generally conducted with a small panel of interviewers and preferred candidates will attend a second interview. 

For roles reporting directly to the Principal, an interview with a panel of School Board members will also be part of the selection process.

Questions may include: Christian beliefs, work history, professional knowledge, performance and achievements, your  work style, key capabilities and development areas.  

Once the interview process is complete, as the preferred candidate, we will arrange to speak with your professional and minister or pastor's referees. As the preferred candidate you will be required to submit to a NSW Working with Children Check for verification before employment commences.
