Sekolah Nusa
Alam, set in the rice fields near the beach on the small island of Lombok,
Indonesia, is a ‘National Plus’ school with claases from
Preschool to Junior High. Of our students, roughly 80 in
number, less than 10% are the children of expats, around 25% Indonesian and the
remainder with one Indonesian and one non-Indonesian parent.
One of our teachers is having to leave us at short
notice for family reasons and her position will be vacant from July 2005.
The vacancy is for a team teacher in the Year 3,
4 and 5 unit, with approximately 25 students in the unit aged 8-11. Our
preference is for a teacher with class teaching experience at this level and
one who has some knowledge of Indonesian. Experience of multi-age and
team teaching would also be an advantage.
We are in the process of reorganising the school and,
effective from July, will be following a system of team teaching with an
Indonesian and an English native speaking teacher in each 2- or 3-year
unit. Our curriculum is an amalgam of those from UK, Australia
and Indonesia.
Indonesia
has just introduced a competency based curriculum, bringing it into line with
general practice in other countries. Children will be taught in both
languages by the relevant native speaker.
Teachers are
employed on a contract basis, with salary dependent on qualifications and
experience. Working permits and visas are provided by the school and
allowances are paid for housing and home leave travel. We offer
discounted places for teachers’ children attending our school. The
great lifestyle comes free!
Lombok is indeed a cheap and
beautiful place to live. Our school is an expanding and successful
venture in which we are all happy to play a part. In spite of the unsettled
state of the world recently, we live in harmony with our neighbours and are
warmly received by the local people.
If you are
interested in applying for the position, please send your full CV, including
e-mail contact details for referees. We will also be pleased to forward any
further information about the school. As it takes some time to process visas,
we hope that all applications can be forwarded as soon as possible.
