Want to make a difference in a vulnerable young person’s life?

Warakirri College is a highly regarded independent school offering Year 10 and HSC courses to young people who have disengaged from mainstream education pathways primarily due to struggles with anxiety or depression and social disadvantage.

We create a flexible and inclusive learning environment with extremely low student to staff ratios, very small class sizes, and both non-ATAR and ATAR study pathways. Each campus has approximately 100 students, facilitating positive relationships between staff and students.

Greater demand for our style of education means Warakirri is expanding, with locations currently at Fairfield, Blacktown and Campbelltown and another purpose-built campus opening in Campbelltown in 2023. This vacancy is at our Fairfield campus.
