English Teacher - Senior School (7-12)

Marsden Park Anglican College is one of the fastest growing independent schools in Australia, having tripled in size since it began in 2024. Currently serving 1,000 students from Prep to Year 9, the school will continue to grow, reaching Year 12 in 2029 with approximately 1,500 students.

The College provides high-quality education, in a learning environment where the strength and character of each individual is encouraged and celebrated. Each student is nurtured to develop a love of Christ, a love of life, a love of learning and a love for others, all in the context of a joyful, safe and encouraging school community.

At Marsden Park Anglican College, our culture is best captured by one of our guiding mantras: Playful but Professional. We believe schools should be joyful, purpose-filled environments where people genuinely love coming to work, and where excellence is pursued in everything we do.

In 2025, we were recognized as a 5-Star Employer of Choice by The Educator, and for two years running we have been named Faith-Based College of the Year – New South Wales at the LUXlife Private Education Awards.

As part of the Anglican Schools Corporation, Marsden Park Anglican College seeks to deliver affordable high quality education, shaped by the Bible, to local families.
