Act now – the Trinityhouse Teacher Intern Programme is opening two 12‑month placements, and the Centurion deadline is only a few weeks away. This is a rare chance for current teaching students to earn a stipend while gaining real classroom experience.
What the opportunity is
Trinityhouse, part of ADvTECH Schools, is offering paid teacher internships at two of its high schools: Trinityhouse Centurion High in Centurion, Gauteng, and Trinityhouse Glenvista High in Johannesburg South, Gauteng. Each placement runs for twelve months and includes a monthly stipend for transport and tuition, supervised teaching, and a mentorship programme.
Who can apply
You must already be studying for a teaching degree. The basic eligibility criteria are:
- Matric certificate
- Current registration for a relevant teaching degree
- Clear criminal‑record check
- Availability for a full 12‑month contract
- Genuine interest in becoming a teacher
Additional points:
- Centurion applicants who hold permanent or provisional registration with the South African Council for Educators (SACE) have an advantage, though it is not mandatory.
- Glenvista applicants must meet the Employment Equity criteria listed in that vacancy.
What you will gain
The internship is designed to bridge theory and practice. You will receive:
- A monthly stipend (exact amount not disclosed publicly)
- Hands‑on teaching under professional supervision
- Structured coaching and mentorship from experienced educators
- Daily insight into the duties of a teacher
- Credible work experience to boost your CV before you graduate
Many applicants worry they lack “real‑world” experience. This programme gives you that confidence and prepares you for future interviews.
How to apply (step‑by‑step)
- Gather the required documents:
- Updated CV
- Matric certificate
- Proof of registration for your teaching degree
- Academic transcripts (if requested)
- SACE registration copy (if you have one)
- ID and contact details
- Criminal‑record check documents
- Make sure every file is clear and legible. The information on your CV must match your certificates.
- Choose the campus that best fits your travel situation.
- Submit your application through the official portal for your chosen school:
- Centurion High – official Trinityhouse Centurion Teacher Intern application portal (deadline 7 September 2026).
- Glenvista High – official Trinityhouse Glenvista Teacher Intern application portal (no deadline announced; apply soon).
- Complete the online form, upload all documents, and submit before the closing date.
- Watch for confirmation emails. ADvTECH warns that they never charge applicants, so avoid any site that asks for payment.
Both vacancies were posted on 24 August 2026, so early submission is advisable.
Tips to improve your chances
- Highlight the specific teaching degree, university, year of study, and preferred subjects or phases on your CV.
- Add any tutoring, classroom observation, youth‑leadership or volunteer work that shows you can manage learners.
- If you have SACE registration, list it prominently for the Centurion application.
- Tailor your cover letter (if required) to each campus, mentioning why the location suits you.
- Double‑check that all uploaded files are readable; blurry scans are often rejected.
Conclusion and next steps
The Trinityhouse Teacher Intern Programme offers a practical entry point into South African teaching. You will earn a stipend, receive mentorship, and build a solid twelve‑month teaching record.
Decide which campus matches your transport needs, collect the required paperwork, and apply before 7 September 2026 for Centurion (or as soon as possible for Glenvista). This is a valuable step toward a teaching career, even if a permanent post is not guaranteed.
