Enrolment Information 2022
|
Enrolments for Kindergarten 2022 are currently being taken. Due to the current COVID Stay at Home Orders, our transition sessions have been scheduled for Term 4. We look forward to seeing our new families on these dates and are still accepting enrolments. We are hopeful of adding an additional day but at this stage, we will proceed with a Parent Information Zoom on Wednesday 3 November @ 5pm (link to follow) and an orientation day for children and parents on Thursday 18 November at 10am. A slide show presentation will be emailed to families the last week of October so that if you have any questions, these may be addressed on the Zoom info evening. More information about enrolment can be found on our Enrolment page. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office if you are moving into the area or have any questions regarding enrolment. 02 9524 6379 tarenpoint-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au |
SUSTAINABILITY @ TPPS
At Taren Point Public School, we are proud to have an extensive environmental and sustainability focus. Our programs are well supported by the school community as we offer recycling opportunities through Return and Earn and a variety of recycling options (Soft plastics, Lids 4 Kids, Organics, Paper & Cardboard). We aim to recycle all of our waste and reduce land fill to zero. Our chickens and garden are the beneficiaries of compost and worm farm byproducts.
The children enjoy gardening and generating produce for consumption at our school canteen and events. Our chickens, Phoenix Snowball, Pom Pom, Henny, Penny and Bolt happily lay free range eggs that the community enjoys. The gardens benefit greatly from our rain water collection tanks and keep watering costs to a minimum. Through these school wide sustainability programs, students learn the value of our natural resources and the importance of minimising our foot print, preserving what we have for future generations.

La Belle Vie French Market
Bonjour :) Our annual French market - La Belle Vie was a huge hit this year. After missing out on hosting it last year due to COVID, we were delighted to have sunshine and over 5000 visitors on the day. A huge thank you to FASS, Kennards Hire and Sutherland Shire Council for their contribution to the event. Without our community partnerships and fantastic stall holders we wouldn't be able to present such a successful market.
The markets are held to promote the French programs at TPPS and are a brilliant opportunity to showcase our school. We were honoured to have the French Consul General, Mme Anne Boillon, French representative, Sebastien Vallerie, DEC Executive Director, Deb Summer Hayes and Director, Kem Rakiposki attend and show their support for our efforts.
2022 Market date is Sunday 1 May. We look forward to seeing you there!

You might think it is a long time away, but in just 6 years time (2025), Taren Point Public School turns 100! To ensure a celebration to remember, we are building a database of former students and friends of Taren Point PS. If you would like to be included, please complete the contact form. We are also very keen to collect any photos of the school that our community may have. Feel free to scan and email the photos with a brief description or pop in to the school office for us to scan them for you (on the spot). As we get closer to the time, we would love to form a committee to assist in planning the festivities, so if this is something you would like to be a part of, please don't be shy and let us know. We would be grateful if you could spread the word about our initiative :) A Diamond Jubilee booklet (and more) was created in 1985. It is attached for your reading pleasure.
