Experience in marketing, communications, media, publishing, libraries, education or related fields would be highly advantageous. Experience with Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud, photography, videography or content creation platforms is particularly welcome.
Make an Impact Every Day
This is more than a marketing role. It's an opportunity to inspire young people, celebrate success, strengthen community engagement and help shape the way our school communicates with the world. You'll have the freedom to be creative, the opportunity to make a visible impact and the satisfaction of knowing your work directly supports students and their future success.
