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.
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.
Incursions
At our school, we believe incursions are a powerful way to deepen student learning while keeping them in a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. With views like ours, there’s hardly a reason to venture far to experience something extraordinary!
​
Our incursions are designed to offer students hands-on learning opportunities that go beyond what can be achieved in a traditional classroom setting. We carefully select experiences that are meaningful, memorable, and connected to real-world learning.
​
One of our most popular incursions is a visit from our local CFA. During these sessions, students learn about the importance of fire safety, how to respond in an emergency, and even get the chance to try the fire hose for themselves. These visits not only spark excitement but also help strengthen our relationship with the community. They provide students with first-hand insight into the people, skills, and services that help keep our area safe.
We value every opportunity for our students to learn from real experts and experience the world around them.
