At Carey, our philosophy of nurturing and developing the whole person does not only apply to our students. We understand that the quality of the School will never exceed the quality of our staff and ensure that all Carey staff have access to the resources, facilities, support and professional development opportunities they need to be the best they can be, regardless of whether you come to us as a teacher or a member of our professional support staff.

Carey is a community of learners. We welcome passionate, committed individuals who have a drive to learn and to excel in their chosen field. Our Professional Learning and Development Framework provides for regular reviews of your career goals and active support to help you achieve them.

Professional Development Program

Our professional development program is not just about professional skills, it is about helping our staff to genuinely be the best person – in mind, body and spirit – that they can be. As such, our staff wellbeing program offers many opportunities to step outside of professional roles and achieve something for personal health and happiness: socialise, learn a new skill, get involved in community work, meditate, worship or exercise.

Carey is committed to a dynamic and stimulating Professional Learning and Development culture that broadens and extends our staff skill set, and enhances the learning experiences for our students. Part of this commitment is to provide all of our staff with appropriate, challenging and rewarding professional development.

Our staff have the opportunity to study for for further qualifications; attending a course or workshop; participating in subject association or local discussion groups; preparing and delivering a paper, addressing or workshopping a topic relevant to the profession; mentoring of new staff, provisionally registered teachers or student teachers; or joining a professional reading group. We also offer generous financial support for staff members who choose to embark on formal postgraduate study. We also encourage our staff in their commitment to their Professional Development with a pay bonus each December for completing the requisite hours.

On Monday afternoons and staff professional development days, we convene seminars and workshops for staff at school. These might include ICT and eLearning skills, wellbeing and positive education workshops, sporting activities, or personal skills activities.
