Join our team as a Primary Teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School, Ingham!

We’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Primary Teacher with tertiary qualifications and registration (or eligibility) with the Queensland College of Teachers. Available as either a full-time or part-time position, this role runs for Terms 3 & 4 and will conclude on the 4th of December 2026.
