Tallygaroopna Primary School, with a 2024 enrolment of 71 students, is situated 17 kms north of Shepparton. Students come from the township of Tallygaroopna and surrounding farms.
The entire school community works in a caring and supportive environment to promote success as the result of partnership. The philosophy of
consider the feelings of others at all times
has been strongly endorsed within the school. A dedicated, hard-working staff provides a comprehensive curriculum in all learning areas of the Victorian Curriculum.
Our classes are based on the Kagan philosophy where teamwork and cooperation is integral to learning. All classes have individual names and in each class group work is paramount. Tallygaroopna Primary School has a strong emphasis on Social & Emotional Learning and our Respectful Relationships and Resilience Project Programs complement this. This year our school was successful in securing funding to employ a Student Wellbeing worker two days per week, as well as a Chaplain one day per week. Our school values are used to support our students, teachers and parents in becoming positive citizens within their community. These values are:
Inclusion, Respect and Honesty.
Tallygaroopna Primary School enjoys a family atmosphere and values greatly the strong parental commitment in all aspects of school life. Parents are encouraged to be a vital link in the overall school's curriculum management. Apart from the committee involvement at School Council and Parents' Club, many parents assist with reading, sport and excursions. The strong relationship parents promote with the school augurs well for the future. There is a high level of communication between home and school - information nights, barbeques, parent/teacher nights, written reports and informal chats are but a few of the many communication features. Our school uses the Skool Loop and Class Dojo apps to send information to communicate with families.
We are committed to providing the highest quality education for all in an environment that cares for our students, staff, and parents. This commitment is demonstrated by encouraging students to:
reach their full academic, social and physical potential in a fair, positive and consistent environment
display a commitment to improving their learning outcomes
develop a sense of self-discipline in their work and their play
respect the rights of other students, staff and visitors
develop a good understanding of all key learning areas, particularly literacy and numeracy
provide equal opportunity for all members of the school community
develop qualities and life skills such as responsibility, communication, independence, inquiring minds, problem solving, team skills and creativity
prepare themselves for their next stages of learning by building on their strengths and experiences
