Uniform Shop Assistant
Casual
THE SCHOOL
Moreton Bay College was established in 1901 as a school for girls from P-12 and now supports
an enrolment in excess of 1200 students. The College offers a rigorous education program as
well as a very broad program in sporting, musical, cultural and fellowship activities. The campus
is built on 19 hectares of spacious, landscaped grounds situated just 15 kilometres from
Brisbane. Moreton Bay College is a school where every girl can develop her individual strengths
and the confidence to make a unique contribution to the world.
An historic turning point in the College’s evolution occurred on July 1, 2011 when Moreton Bay
Boys’ College (MBBC) and Moreton Bay College (MBC) became formally amalgamated on the
premise that they are stronger together. Governed by a single Board and led by a single
Executive Principal, each school retains its single gender focus and its own personality and
attributes. Both schools have significant strengths to benefit the other and together have a
unique market-leading proposition in private school education.
THE POSITION
The College is seeking to add to the pool of casuals working in the Uniform Shop, commencing
as soon as can be negotiated.
The Uniform Shop is a one stop source for all uniforms required at Moreton Bay College and
Moreton Bay Boys’ College.
The Uniform Shop Assistant is responsible in the first instance to the Uniform Shop Manager,
but ultimately is responsible to the Head of each College. All staff are employed by the Executive
Principal.
Staff in the Uniform Shop must be able to maintain a high standard of service and
communication across all the sporting, academic and cultural uniform needs of students and
their families at both Moreton Bay College and Moreton Bay Boys’ College.
Moreton Bay College and Moreton Bay Boys College enjoy a highly regarded reputation in the
general community with respect to the uniform and presentation of students. The Uniform Shop
plays an important part in ensuring that the high standard of uniform items is maintained.
All staff need to be supportive of the values, Christian ethos and Ethical Statement of these
Uniting Church Colleges.
