"My kids have been there since 2020 and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about it! We were originally worried about the reputation and stories people have told but I am so glad I have sent them (my children) there. Every single teacher my kids have, has always gone above and beyond and we have been more than happy. They offer so much for sport and other extra-curricular activities like the creative arts." — a parent of Tahmoor Public School

What we can offer your child
Opportunity Class (OC)
