Position Description

Leadership in a vibrant rural community  

Catholic Education Sandhurst Limited (CESL) invites applications from dynamic and committed educators to lead St John’s Primary School, Euroa, a welcoming Catholic school located in the heart of Victoria’s scenic Strathbogie region. 

With 200 students, St John’s is a close-knit school community where strong relationships and Catholic values are at the core of daily life. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1921, the school continues their legacy of compassion, service and inclusive Catholic education. 

This is an exciting opportunity for a relational and forward-thinking leader to guide a highly engaged staff and school community, committed to learning, student wellbeing, and faith formation. The principal will work closely with families and the local parish to nurture a strong Catholic identity and continue a culture of learning, collaboration and continuous improvement. 

Why lead at St John’s, Euroa? 

  • Join a school with strong community connections and proud traditions. 

  • Lead learning in a collaborative and student-centred environment. 

  • Enjoy work-life balance in a friendly rural town, known for its heritage charm and easy access to both Shepparton and Melbourne via the Hume Freeway and public transport. 

  • Experience regional leadership with the support of CESL and a network of dedicated principals across the Diocese. 

This role will suit an experienced Principal or ambitious school leader ready to take the next step in principalship.

  • Proven leadership experience in a Catholic school.  

  • Registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (or equivalent).  

  • Accreditation to Teach Religious Education or Lead in a Catholic School.  

  • Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills.
