At Tangara School, we are committed to creating and inspiring life–long learners by providing a caring and vibrant learning environment that promotes and embraces students’ strengths.
It is our goal to ensure that every student is active and engaged, consistently moving forward in every aspect of their learning.
Our school provides meaningful and authentic individualised educational programs for students from the age of 4 to 18 years with an intellectual disability in the moderate to severe range, with often a range of additional disabilities.
Tangara School currently has seven classes. Each student participates in an individualised program that is designed to promote a strong sense of self, allows students to develop independence, self-efficacy and emotional regulation and, most importantly feel as though they are a part of our wider community.
Our warm and genuine relationships with our wider school community, particularly the very active and supportive members of the Parent and Citizens Association (P&C), our families, and the local therapists who work with our students, all contribute to the culture at Tangara School being one of warmth, equality, respect, and dignity.
As with any school, our priorities include literacy, numeracy, student wellbeing programs, in addition to independent living skills, assistive and supportive technology and communication programming.
Our staff are passionate about supporting students to become curious learners with brave hearts, creative minds and seek to be community connected, as our motto states, 'learning for life'.
