A culture of professionalism, respect and achievement

At Pittwater House, we know our people make the difference.

Whether you’re a teacher, support staff member, or specialist professional, you’ll be part of a community that values innovation, collaboration and care – for students and for each other.

We offer rewarding career opportunities across teaching, nursing, psychology, marketing, IT, administration and more.

“At Pittwater House, there is a genuine spirit of friendliness, mutual respect and recognition of achievement – all reflected in our school motto, Semper Diligens (‘Always Hardworking’).

Our school offers a truly unique model: single-gender education within a co-educational environment.

With small class sizes from Pre-Kindy to Year 12, a strong wellbeing culture, and exceptional co-curricular opportunities, we support each child to grow into a capable, confident and well-rounded young person.

This approach reflects my own belief in cultivating individual potential, instilling strong personal values, and preparing students to thrive – not just in school, but in life.”
