About Us
Welcome to Tarlee Primary School
At Tarlee Primary School, we are committed to fostering student wellbeing as the foundation for achieving individual learning goals and positive curriculum outcomes. Our dedicated staff collaboratively design and implement individual learning plans, ensuring targeted support for each student through personalised goal setting, as well as high-quality whole-class programs.
Our support staff work in close partnership with teachers to deliver timely interventions, both within classrooms and in small group or individual settings. Students working towards specific targets are well supported by our team of classroom teachers and School Services Officers (SSOs).
As proud members of the Lower Mid North B-12 Local Education Partnership, we actively collaborate with other schools to develop and deliver initiatives that uphold a high standard of education for all students. This year, our emphasis is on promoting student wellbeing, strengthening belonging, and building robust learning dispositions across our school community.
As Principal, I am dedicated to leading a culture of collaborative planning, ensuring every student is supported to reach their fullest potential. My vision is to establish a learning environment that balances safety, wellbeing, and intellectual challenge, empowering all learners to thrive.
At Tarlee Primary School, we are passionate about expanding opportunities for every student and cultivating a community where everyone feels valued and equipped to succeed.
Kind regards,

Tarlee Primary School History
Tarlee Primary School was first established in1870 under licence from the Riverton council and set up in the Baptist Church across the road from the current school site. The community worked together to fund the building of a purpose built school building on land donated for the purpose. This was completed in 1875.
The current Tarlee Primary School was opened in 1875, and is situated on Craig St, on the north eastern side of the town. Over the ensuing years the school has nearly become enclosed by the township.
There is a diverse range of family, social backgrounds and lifestyles within the Tarlee community and school population; which has changed significantly over the years and continues to evolve.
The school’s role is to respond positively and proactively to these with an emphasis on best interests and wishes of the whole school community. Tarlee Primary School students and their families mainly live within the town, within a short distance of the local township, on surrounding properties.
