We are seeking an experienced  teacher to fill our SENCo position, to join our kura from the start of 2025, to meet identified learning support needs.

The Special Education Needs Co-ordinator role includes oversight of learners who have special education needs, which includes English language learners (ELLs).  An interest in working with Pacific, Māori and Filipino learners, and leadership experience, would be an advantage.  Some teaching will be required.

Catholic Cathedral College is a special character, co-educational College with over 500 students, situated in central Christchurch.    We are a successful and progressive school, culturally diverse and whānau-focused.  Our goal is to ensure a high-quality Catholic education is available for all, regardless of race, gender, identity, economic or cultural background.    We follow the charisms of both Marcellin Champagnat and the Mission Sisters.   We recognise the unique position of Māori as tangata whenua and ensure our policy statements and actions promote the intentions of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
