Because learning goes far beyond books and whiteboards
At Tanjil South Primary School, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom walls. Our students are given rich opportunities to explore, create, and connect through hands-on experiences that support both academic and personal growth.
​
Whether it’s discovering the wonders of nature, caring for animals, or working together in outdoor challenges, these real-world experiences help build resilience, curiosity, and confidence - skills that stay with them for life.
Camps and Excursions
School camps at Tanjil South Primary School are more than just a fun break from the classroom - they’re powerful learning experiences that help students grow in resilience, independence, and confidence.
Our camps are thoughtfully planned to suit the age and stage of each student, with opportunities to try new activities, step outside comfort zones, and strengthen peer relationships.
​
Whether it’s hiking through bushland, facing team challenges, navigating the big city, or sitting around the campfire, students develop problem-solving skills, cooperation, and a sense of adventure that stays with them well beyond the experience.

This innovative in-school arts and wellbeing initiative addressed social-emotional issues while incorporating trauma-informed teaching and social-emotional learning practices. Collaborating with a skilled musician, the students enthusiastically participated in songwriting and recording sessions, creating a meaningful connection to their work. Among their creations was the captivating song "Where's Llew," inspired by the remarkable story of an award-winning entomologist who once graced the school in the early 1900s.In 2023, the school continued the great work and developed a musical called "The Entomologist's Dream" based on the song "Where's Llew". It was an outstanding student creation.IN 2024 the school will team up again with The Song Room to develop another amazing performace arts based project.​

MARC VAN
At Tanjil South Primary School, we’re proud to be part of the MARC (Mobile Area Resource Centre) program, which supports small rural and regional Victorian government schools by providing access to a wider range of books and literacy resources.
The MARC van visits our school once a week, offering students the chance to borrow and return books, explore new genres, and engage in literacy-based programs. It’s a fantastic way to foster a love of reading and ensure our students have access to a rich and varied literary experience.
