Tent Hill Lower State School is a small rural school situated in the beautiful Lockyer Valley approximately 7 kilometres south west of Gatton. Established in 1873, Tent Hill Lower features multi-age classes catering for students in Prep to Year 7. Classes are organised into three levels including an early years class (Prep to Year 1), an intermediate class (Years 2, 3 and 4), and an upper class (Years 5, 6 and 7). Tent Hill Lower is known for its family-friendly and caring atmosphere where every child is treated as an individual. This is captured within our school vision 'Growing beautiful futures in the valley of opportunity' and our school values statement known as 'BUDS'. Classroom teachers work closely together to deliver a whole-school approach to teaching, learning and assessment to ensure consistency throughout the school. Our curriculum plan is organised around daily literacy and numeracy blocks and integrated units of work. A number of visiting specialist teachers provide instruction in Drama/Music, Physical Education and ICI (German). The school community via the dedicated P&C not only raises funds but also provides significant input into decision making and school activities.
