Our School Vision 2018-2020
At Taren Point Public School, we believe in creating an environment that is engaging, inclusive and nurturing to develop safe, respectful learners. We aim to inspire students to develop a passion for learning and actively strive for success in all endeavours. We are committed to ensuring all students become successful, confident and creative lifelong learners.
OUR SCHOOL PLEDGE 'We are the students of Taren Point Public School. We are proud of ourselves and our school.
We pledge to work hard, play fair and be kind to each other. We are the 'Pride of the Point'.
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 2.0, Black Panther, Snowy 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.

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.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation.
