Partners in Education - Community

Tambrey Primary is lucky to have the support and partnership of some amazingly generous local businesses, companies, industry and family businesses too!

We have achieved some amazing things with the assistance of our existing community partnerships and welcome any inquiries about how to become a partner in education with Tambrey.

Check out some of the amazing projects and achievements below.

FMG- Tambrey on Track learning space upgrade

FMG funded a furniture upgrade and created a sense of belonging for our group of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander girls. Our girls now have a space to meet and learn with their mentor in our growing school. They are beginning to add their own touches to the room that reflect their culture and Stars Foundation have now joined them in this space.
