Tallowood School
Tallowood School provides educational programs for students with special needs from K to Year 12. The school ethos fosters positive self image, and personal and social competence through the implementation of a broad curriculum from the Key Learning Areas and the secondary Life Skills program. There is a strong emphasis on communication, social skills, independence in daily living and preparing students for community life. Teachers collaborate with Families/caregivers, therapists and other stakeholders to determine individual learning priorities. Students are offered both functional learning and quality of life experiences both in the school and community setting.
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.
