There is a wide range of experience within the staff.  Most have taught at various locations and a number have worked at a District Office level.  With staff working in the specialist areas of Physical Education, Learning to Learn, Music, Science, LOTE (Japanese) and Information Technology. As one of the first merit selection schools in the state a percentage of staff have been appointed through this system by school based selection panels.  The ability to Merit select staff has been impacted on by the quantity of permanent, unplaced teachers in Albany.

Many parallel leadership opportunities are provided for staff, these opportunities range from undertaking cost centre manager roles, curriculum facilitators, cluster coordinators, becoming a member of various school committees, school council and special projects associated with school or system priorities.
