Welcome to St. Michael's Tallangatta
Welcome to St. Michael's Tallangatta
On behalf of St. Michael's Primary School Community, I warmly welcome you to our website!
Set in the stunning township of Tallangatta, our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a nurturing community where every child is known, valued and supported.
As a faith-filled and life-giving Catholic Primary School, St. Michael's serves not only the township of Tallangatta but also the surrounding districts. We cater to students from Foundation to Grade Six, offering a holistic education that encompasses academic excellence; physical, social and emotional development and spiritual growth.
Our spacious classrooms are thoughtfully set up to accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring each child feels comfortable and engaged. With access to caring and exceptional educators utilising research and evidence-informed teaching and learning approaches and a range of technology and learning tools, our students are empowered to maximise their learning.
At St. Michael's, we truly believe that every child is unique. We take the time to build meaningful relationships with our students, allowing us to understand their individual strengths and their opportunities for growth. Our dedicated staff are committed to working with families in respectful and positive ways as we partner to meet students at their point of need and support each child's growth and development. We strive to create a learning environment that encourages curiosity, engagement, resilience and a love of learning, helping every child to flourish and reach their fullest potential.
Our school community is rooted in the Josephite tradition, inspired by the charism of St. Mary MacKillop and the Josephite Sisters to live with courage, compassion, respect and justice for all. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive atmosphere where children can flourish in all dimensions of their lives. We also understand the importance of faith formation, supporting our students on their spiritual journeys and encouraging them to live out their faith and lives as responsible, compassionate members of society who work for the common good.
Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is a top priority at St. Michael's. We are committed to maintaining a child-safe environment where all children feel secure and empowered to participate actively in decisions that affect their lives. Our comprehensive Child Safeguarding and Well-being Policy embeds a culture of safety and care throughout our school community. For more details on our commitment to child safety, please visit the Child Safeguarding link in our Downloads section.
