About Us  

At Gleeson College, we are a dynamic, faith-filled community where passion meets purpose. Nestled in Adelaide’s northeast, our coeducational Catholic college thrives on the spirit of unity embodied in our motto: With One Heart.

What truly sets Gleeson apart is our people. Our staff are not just educators—they're mentors, collaborators, and innovators who foster a culture of inclusivity, respect, and joy. It is no surprise that many who experience Gleeson College are drawn back by the strong relationships and supportive environment that define our college.

Our students are supported by a wide range of learning pathways, contemporary facilities, and innovative programs through our One+ Campus partnership—but it’s our staff who bring this vision to life.

We believe that happy staff make a thriving school. That’s why we prioritise wellbeing through our incorporated Staff Wellbeing Framework, found on our Working with Us webpage. We also value and actively encourage personal and professional development, with many teachers participating in our One Heart Leadership Program and other growth opportunities throughout their careers at Gleeson.

If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and grow within a community that values connection, excellence, and heart, we invite you to explore opportunities with us. Discover more about our culture and current vacancies at www.gleeson.sa.edu.au.
