Why Work at Dynamic Learning College

September 9, 2024

St Philip’s Christian Education Foundation Ltd

At Dynamic Learning College (DLC), we are more than just an educational institution; we are a Christian community dedicated to supporting students with unique needs, including those diagnosed with Autism (Level 1 or 2), Anxiety, PTSD, and/or Depression. Here, every day is an opportunity to make a significant impact in the lives of young people who require and deserve an environment tailored to their strengths and challenges.
A Place of Support, Adaptation, and Faith
Our school is designed to be a haven where students can flourish, supported by robust structures and a staff that is deeply committed to making necessary adjustments. At DLC, teaching is not just about delivering curriculum; it's about crafting individualised programs that align with each student's interests and learning ability. When faced with new challenges, our staff have the chance to creatively adapt evidence-informed techniques to meet the evolving needs of our students.
Work in a Compassionate, Faith-Based Environment
Working at DLC is more than just a job; it’s a calling to be part of a close-knit Christian community that supports your personal and professional growth. Our team is known for being fun, supportive, and caring - a true reflection of the community spirit that defines us. According to Shaona Folwell, Head of Campus at Port Stephens, some of the most rewarding moments at DLC are when students achieve their goals. Though these milestones might seem small to outsiders, they are monumental for our students, representing their growth, determination, and resilience.
A Sense of Fulfilment Beyond the Classroom
The sense of fulfilment at DLC extends far beyond the classroom walls. For many of our staff, like Shaona, the joy of collaborating with dedicated colleagues and engaging with students and their families is immeasurable. She recognises that guiding these extraordinary children requires a collective effort—a village of caregivers, professionals, educators, and staff, all working together to ensure each student’s success. Be part of a community that values compassion, understanding, and faith, where your contributions are not just appreciated but celebrated.
Celebrating Uniqueness and Embracing Faith
Seeing our students thrive in an environment that celebrates their uniqueness is perhaps the most powerful testament to the impactful work being done at DLC. Among the most cherished moments are those when students embrace faith, discover the love of Jesus, and recognise their own worth. It’s in these moments that the true value of our work becomes evident.
Wisdom from Experienced Christian Educators
For those considering a career in teaching special needs children within a Christian context, Miriam, one of our experienced Chaplains, offers wise counsel. She encourages potential educators to look beyond any initial apprehension, highlighting that being part of the DLC environment is a uniquely rewarding experience. The resilience and character exhibited by our students, coupled with the distinctive rewards of the role, make it an incredibly fulfilling endeavour.
Kate, another seasoned educator at DLC, advises aspiring teachers to embrace individuality and different strengths. She emphasises the importance of collaboration, effective communication with parents and colleagues, and maintaining a patient, adaptable mindset. Kate’s advice is simple yet profound: "Have a sense of humour and celebrate the unique abilities and creativity in your students as they engage in their learning."
