Religious Education Coordinator - Medowie

Catherine McAuley Primary School, Medowie is seeking a passionate and faith-filled leader to join as permanent full-time Religious Education Coordinator, commencing Term 4, 2026.

This is more than a role—it is a unique opportunity to help shape the spiritual heart of a brand-new Catholic primary school.

Opening in 2027, Catherine McAuley Primary School will be a place where faith, learning, and community come together to inspire young people to grow with purpose and compassion.
As part of a dynamic and expanding education precinct alongside Catherine McAuley Catholic College and St Nicholas Early Education Centre, the school will offer a contemporary and connected learning journey grounded in Catholic identity.

As Religious Education Coordinator, you will play a central role in embedding a vibrant Catholic culture from the very beginning—guiding faith formation, nurturing spiritual growth, and leading high-quality religious education.
You will work in partnership with the leadership team to create a community where Gospel values are lived, learning is meaningful, and every student is known and valued.

Set within the stunning Port Stephens region, Medowie offers a lifestyle that complements the significance of this role—blending coastal beauty with a relaxed, semi-rural charm.
With Newcastle just 34km away and the Hunter Valley within easy reach, this is an opportunity to combine purposeful leadership with an exceptional way of life.
