Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to Tambrey Primary!

Tambrey Primary School is a vibrant school where your child will thrive. We pride ourselves on providing a happy, safe and welcoming environment where the needs of all learners are catered for. Our motto of Nurture, Inspire, Achieve are more than just words, we seek to bring these things to life so our children can grow and thrive in an ever-changing world.

We are an Explicit Teaching school, which means that learning is structured and consistently applied in all year levels and classes. Learning needs to be ‘visible’ and meaningful for our students to do their best.

Literacy and numeracy are the foundations of all future learning, and we keep this our main focus, particularly in the early years where you will find a focus on phonics and developing strong number sense. Our programs are evidence based and are implemented skilfully by our highly effective staff.

We have well developed programs to support learners who are not meeting important educational milestones. MiniLit (Yrs 1&2), MacqLit (Yrs 3-6) and small group tuition (PP+1) are used for support.

Students get to experience a range of specialist subjects that include Physical Education, Science, Indonesian, Music, Technologies access to the Primary Extension ad Challenge (PEAC) program, Learning Education Academic Extension Classes Years 1-6 and Literacy Intervention programs Years 1-6.

Staff at Tambrey believe that we work most effectively when we are collaborative and have a common purpose. This is evident in every classroom and shows through in ways like having consistent routines and common approaches to Teaching and Learning. This collaborative culture is a key feature in our school.

Tambrey is a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) school where we follow our four expectations. They are:

Strive for Personal Growth; Take Responsibility; Act Safe; and Respect.

These expectations are taught and provide the framework for how we support students to become well-rounded individuals. We know that it is a combination of Teaching, Learning and Social/Emotional attributes that allow our students to grow into happy, healthy adults.

I know your child will thrive in our school and I look forward to working with you.
