Tea Gardens Public School
Tea Gardens Public School is a small school located in the idyllic, yet remote seaside town of Tea Gardens on Worimi Country. We acknowledge the Worimi people, who were and are the traditional custodians of the land on which we learn and play. Our school is at the heart of the township, servicing the communities of Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and surrounding areas. The school enjoys close ties with community groups and other organisations. The school has a current student enrolment of 149 across 7 classes K-6, with 29% identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The school prides itself on providing opportunity for all students to learn and grow socially and academically including enrichment opportunities for high potential and gifted students. Both students and staff enjoy an attractive physical environment of wide-open play areas, a rainforest area and native gardens together with our own student managed vegetable patch. We know, value and care for our student body, and through our student parliament, student voice is a feature of our practice.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
