Brisbane South State Secondary College (BSSSC), located in Dutton Park, opened in 2021 for its first cohort.  With a motto ‘Novo Discere Mundo’ – Learning for a New World, an exciting opportunity exists for an innovative Chinese teacher to become a part of the teaching team. In collaboration with The University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane South State Secondary College is already setting the benchmark for secondary education nationally, and provides students with an innovative physical and pedagogical environment where teaching and learning is tailored for every student.  The College is part of an innovation district actively connecting with a network of local schools, businesses, hospitals, and health and social sciences, as well as UQ.  It is a highly responsive educational community embracing the opportunities of a rapidly changing world. Brisbane South State Secondary College offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum as well as the Queensland Curriculum in the senior phase of learning. Experience with teaching IB curriculum is desirable.

The vision for BSSSC is for it to be recognised nationally and internationally as innovative, inclusive and engaged in providing high quality, holistic learning environment for all students.
