Resources and technology

Our school uses modern technology and digital learning tools. Our resources help students learn, create and stay connected. As a NSW public school, we have access to shared programs and tools available to all schools in the state.

Our school grounds promote freedom to run, play and develop interests in sports and athletics and a source of creative inspiration.

The oval has several viewing areas to support those playing sport, or to chat with friends, take in the tranquillity and listen to the sounds of birds around you.

All our school buildings are surrounded by plants and green spaces managed by our staff and community. The heritage school house is home to staff work spaces, safe space for students when feeling unwell and creative spaces for cooking and ceramics..

Our welcoming front office is approachable to students, staff and families. The space is lovingly maintained by staff to reflect the schools values of art and nature, with past student art projects displayed.

Throughout the grounds are fruiting trees, such as lemons, oranges, pomegranates and stone fruit. The fruit trees contribute to the cooking and garden program. The connection between the garden and cooking program deepens students learning about the world they live in and practical life skills.

Our bright and colourful playground is fun for all ages, giving students confidence to use their bodies and play together. Most high traffic areas have either trees or shade cloth to keep the heat off in the hotter months.

The vibrant classroom is full of colour and adaptable to use technology to access curriculum. It has excellent break-out spaces for different ages and subject matters, as well as communal areas to support collaboration and explicit teaching.

Music class is a weekly feature of learning with the addition of a specialised music teacher. Rhythm and percussion instruments are strong aspects of musical engagement and resources available at Tanja Public School.

Our students combine outdoor and indoor learning. Drawing and scientific enquiry support observation skills and critical thinking.

We love that we have a functional and vibrant school kitchen garden program! It is wonderful watching the kids eat all their greens.

A hygienic and commercial grade kitchen for the cooking program that c with stainless steal accessible benches is still full of light and the sounds of nature.

Tanja also has an abundant of craft and creative art resources, for knitting, painting, print making and more! This year we have engaged in dance and drama in the hall, painting a huge mural in the classroom and ceramics, learning about Japanese tea culture. The school also has an electric kiln to fire student works.

We teach techniques and skills in all areas and encourage students to use those skills learnt to make, create and apply them to their own ideas.

The heritage listed first school building is used as the beautiful library, a place of learning right at the centre of the school.

Books! Books! Books! Fiction, graphic novels, junior fiction, reference and cosy couches to read with windows to let in natural light. What could be better!
