Tambelin Independent School offers children and parents in the Goulburn and surrounding districts a unique alternative in education. Tambelin is an independent school with a current enrolment of 30 students from Kindergarten to Year 6. It provides an intimate and caring environment for children to learn and thrive in. The philosophy of the school is for children to be happy in the learning environment. Crucial to this, is that each child is regarded as an individual. A low student to staff ratio and limited class numbers provides the opportunity for focus on the individual. Children are encouraged to develop at their own pace and realise their full potential in a non-competitive atmosphere. Parents of the students together with the teachers run and administer the school. Tambelin is a registered school; our curriculum must follow the educational standards set by the Board of Studies. We aim to offer a sound understanding and knowledge in the areas of English and Maths for all students with a variety of experiences in music, foreign languages, computers and sport. The focus at Tambelin is the children, developing, extending and nurturing their needs educationally and emotionally. We strive to provide a 'happy learning environment ' for all our children.
