Goldfields Baptist College, WA
Goldfields Baptist College is the only Kindergarten to Year 12 registered educational facility in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, creating a consistent pathway on a student’s learning journey. We are a multicultural, multi-denominational, co-educational school that offers a holistic Christian education. Our learning, pastoral care and relationships are built upon a strong Christian foundation, and we are extremely proud of our working environment, which is one of unparalleled support and community. As is captured in our Mission Statement, the College culture is one of community and support that nurtures and equips not only our students, but each person, for life. As such, at GBC, we invest deeply into one another as colleagues, and approach all elements of our professional practice with a view to continue to collaboratively grow together. This makes it a wonderful environment in which to flourish as a professional, amongst committed colleagues who are eager to invest into you, your personal wellbeing, and your professional growth.
Our Mission
At GBC, we are creating a flourishing educational community that is being transformed by the Truth of God’s word. We are nurturing and equipping each person for life, empowering them to be thriving contributors in the world.
Isn’t Kalgoorlie really far away?
Kalgoorlie is 600km from Perth, which means a 50-minute flight, an approximately six-hour train trip, or an approximately six and a half hour drive through regional Western Australia. Once in the Goldfields, you might be surprised at what is available in our remote city. With a population of over 30,000, the facilities and amenities available to you are not that different to what is found in city suburbs. One of our biggest points of difference, however, is the incredibly strong community spirit, with some of the most egalitarian and down-to-Earth people that can be found anywhere, coupled with tightly knit church communities that join together regularly for combined praise and fellowship.
Opportunities
One of the many positives in working in a small school in regional Western Australia is the natural opportunity to broaden your opportunities and experience. Working in regional schools presents opportunities for staff members to try their hand at organising events, or to flourish in areas of passion, by implementing innovations and ideas, even within your first year at the school. Small regional schools also offer excellent opportunities for flexibility in work arrangements. Many of our staff members are parents, both with children enrolled at the College, and some with children enrolled elsewhere. Other staff members are completing study whilst undertaking varied loads.
