Welcome to Taradale Primary School, we are a vibrant community centred school catering for the educational needs of students from Taradale and surrounding areas.
Taradale Primary School is one of the oldest schools in the state, having opened in 1855. We have been educating the children of the local area for 156 years and hope to do so for the next 156 years at least.
The school boasts enviable modern facilities. We have five newly renovated classrooms, a new kitchen and spacious grounds that houses new play equipment, an oval, a kitchen garden and our school farm.
The farm is home to our lambs, calves and chickens and is the basis for our new hands on, enquiry curriculum.
Our small classes and teacher to students ratio ensures students receive individual attention and their own learning needs are catered for in a friendly supportive environment.
If you would like to know more about our school and our innovative education programmes, please feel free to contact me for a tour or more information.
Christopher Burgess
Acting Principal.
