Languages teacher needed Giraween HS

22/7/2014

Girraween HS needs a casual teacher for the rest of this term and all of Term 4 2014 . The load is predominantly Yrs 7 - 12 French, but also requires Yr 7 & 8 Japanese. Ideally we would like to get someone with both languages, otherwise we will just employ a French teacher and do a major reshuffle of the timetable.
