Why choose
a small school?
At Tanjil South Primary, we know that choosing the right primary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make.
​
At a small school, your child benefits from a warm, welcoming environment where they are truly known, seen and supported. With smaller class sizes, our teachers are able to provide more individualised attention, adapt learning to suit each child's needs, and foster strong, positive relationships with every student.
​
In a smaller setting, students feel a strong sense of belonging. Friendships can flourish across all year levels, and children develop confidence knowing they are a valued part of the school community. Teachers know each and every child - not just in the classroom, but in the playground, at assemblies, and in every aspect of school life.
​
A small school setting does not mean small academic expectations. Much like larger schools, a rich and engaging curriculum is given to provide quality education that meets high academic standards - it may just be delivered a little differently.
​
Students are encouraged to appreciate the world around them.
Surrounded by nature, our students are encouraged to ask questions, explore their environment, and engage in hands-on learning that feels meaningful and exciting. Our setting allows children to follow their interests and discover the world around them in ways that spark wonder and creativity.
NATURAL
CURIOSITY
Small class sizes allow for personalised learning, targeted support, and deeper engagement. Teachers know where each student is at and can tailor lessons to suit their needs - ensuring every child is challenged, extended, and celebrated in their progress.
CONNECTED
COMMUNITY
Every student, family, and staff member is known, supported, and included. This strong sense of connection helps students feel safe and confident, while also building respectful relationships and a genuine sense of belonging.
ACADEMIC
EXCELLENCE
Wellbeing is woven into everything we do - from daily routines and relationship-building to our supportive environment and nature-based learning. Our staff take the time to truly know each child, helping them build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.
WELLBEING
INCLUSION
At Tanjil South Primary School, our exceptional Student Attitudes to School Survey results highlight the many benefits of being part of a small school community. These outcomes reflect a learning environment where every child is known, valued, and supported.
Our size allows us to foster genuine relationships across all year levels, creating a strong sense of belonging and connection. Students feel safe and confident to express themselves, solve problems collaboratively, and engage in meaningful learning experiences.
With a focus on inclusion, wellbeing, and a good dose of fun, our school provides a nurturing space where children can thrive both academically and socially.
