At Tallangatta Secondary College, we are committed to high-quality, student-centrededucation. Our motto, “Big enough to deliver, small enough to care,” reflects our dedication to providing personalised support to help each student thrive. Our vision is to empower students to be resilient, confident lifelong learners with a strong sense of self and community. Our core values – Respect, Aspiration and Responsibility – guide everything we do. We offer a diverse curriculum and co-curricular programs designed to cater to students’ varied interests. From Years 7–10, students engage in the core subjects of English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Health and Physical Education with options such as Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Technology (Food, Metal, and Wood) and Auslan. Year 9 students participate in our Future Makers program, Year 10 students have multiple Work Experience opportunities, and in Years 11 and 12, students can choose from a wide range of VCE subjects to suit their future aspirations. Our Job Skills and Pathway Coordinator works closely with students across all year levels to ensure they have a clear direction for life after school, whether that be in further education, training, or employment.
Our extensive co-curricular offerings include the Youth Crew, the Tallangatta Herald, Peer Support, Instrumental Music, and a variety of sports. We also provide enriching camps and excursions, such as Year 7 Phillip Island Camp, Year 12 Retreat, and Biennial Northern Territory Tour.
Our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework fosters a positive learning environment for all students, supported by our Homegroup teachers and Year Level Leaders to guide each student through their journey at the College. Our dedicated Wellbeing Team — comprising a School Nurse, Mental Health Practitioner, and Student Support Coordinator — ensures students are supported emotionally and academically.
