Teacher - Primary

Discover Giru State School — A Hidden Gem of North Queensland. Nestled beside the Haughton River and under the gaze of Mt Surround, Giru State School is Education Queensland’s best-kept secret. With a warm, family-like atmosphere, our school is the heart of the Giru community — where students, staff, and families work together in a spirit of support and success.

At Giru State School, we're proud of our strong community spirit and collaborative culture. Our close ties with local volunteers, families, and community events - like the annual ANZAC parade -  make our school a vibrant and supportive place to work.

We're a small school with three multi-age classes, taught by dedicated and experienced teachers and teacher aides who create a rich, inclusive learning environment where every child can succeed.

Our students thrive through unique programs such as our chicken and food garden, wetlands care project with Dry Tropics NQ, Reef Guardian partnership with Reef HQ, and litter-free initiatives. With laptops and iPads in every classroom, we combine hands-on learning with modern technology to inspire creativity and curiosity.

If you value connection, innovation, and making a real difference -  you'll feel right at home at Giru State School.
