Assistant Head of Secondary (Students)

Green Point Christian College is seeking an experienced Christian educator to lead the day-to-day pastoral care, wellbeing and behaviour of students across Years 7 to 12.

Green Point Christian College is a Christian, independent, co-educational school serving approximately 1,150 students on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Our purpose is to equip students for a life of redemptive action through a holistic education grounded in a Biblical perspective. We want every student to grow in wisdom and flourish in right relationship with God, themselves, others and the world around them.

The opportunity
This newly defined position sits at the heart of Secondary student life. Reporting to the Head of Secondary, the Assistant Head will supervise and develop the Year Advisor team, lead the College’s behaviour management processes in the Secondary School, coordinate the delivery of the Equip and student leadership programs, and act as the first point of escalation for student welfare and discipline matters.

The role exists so that Year Advisors are well supported and students are known, cared for and responded to promptly. As a member of the Secondary Leadership Team and Core Wellbeing Team, the Assistant Head will work closely with the Directors of Formation, Enrichment and Learning and Teaching, as well as counselling and learning support staff. By providing clear leadership for student matters, the role also enables the Head of Secondary to focus more closely on curriculum quality, staffing and the leadership of Heads of Department.

Leading a community where students are known
At Green Point, behaviour management is inseparable from care. This role will make the College’s Christian Community pillar real and consistent across Years 7 to 12: a community shaped by hospitality, belonging and wisdom, where high expectations sit alongside meaningful support and every student is valued and known.

The right person will be a visible, relational and steady leader who brings sound judgement to complex situations. They will coach Year Advisors, build consistent pastoral practice across six year groups, use wellbeing, behaviour and attendance data to guide early intervention, and partner with staff and families with both care and clarity. Restorative practice, grounded in responsibility, forgiveness and reconciliation, will be central to the work.

Why join GPCC
You will join a professional, engaged and relational staff community with a shared commitment to Christian education and the flourishing of young people. This role offers genuine scope to shape the culture of the Secondary School, strengthen a capable Year Advisor team and help every student experience belonging, wise support and the opportunity to grow in Godly Character.

What you will bring

• A mature and active Christian faith, involvement in a local church, and the ability to affirm and live by the College’s Statement of Faith.
• Current NESA accreditation at Proficient Teacher or above, with a track record of effective classroom practice.
• Experience in pastoral leadership, student wellbeing or year-level leadership, including coaching and developing other teachers.
