Maranatha Christian School invites applications from experienced leaders with a commitment to Christian education and an inspiring future vision.

Established in 1970, Maranatha Christian School was one of the first Christian schools founded in Melbourne’s south east as a learning community in partnership with home and church, where students are inspired to discover and develop their God-given gifts, abilities and character. Now grown to a thriving, dual campus school, Maranatha caters for students from ELC to Year 12, providing sound Christian education with a focus on individual student academic growth, critical thinking skills and development of co-curricular passions and interests, within a supportive, pastoral environment.

Maranatha Christian School is seeking a dynamic Christian leader for its Officer Campus, who is excited by developing an exceptional site into its next stage of secondary education. Currently, a spacious campus with a flourishing ELC – 6 student population, the students enjoy a well established kitchen garden with presiding chooks, outstanding Performing Arts Theatre and facilities, state of the art sports centre, and extensive grounds and outdoor spaces. The potential of this campus is evident: serviced by public transport, surrounded by new suburban developments and a collegial, committed staff, who actively contribute to the strong community.

  • authentically lead, promote and demonstrate the principles and values of a Christian Education in line with the School’s mission
  • manage change successfully and lead a strong, contemporary and challenging curriculum, that supports and enables the best learning outcomes for all students
  • lead the implementation of student wellbeing policies and age appropriate programs
  • collaborate in the development of suitable professional learning programs for staff, including regular review processes
  • develop essential networks outside the School and build collaborative networks inside the School
