Tamborine Mountain State School (Independent Public
School) was awarded the prestigious Australian Education Award for Australian
Primary School of the Year - 2018 (Govt). TMSS is also an award
winning 'School of Excellence for the Early and Primary Years of Education' and
'Inclusive Education'. Our objective is to promote the academic, cultural,
physical and social development of each child. Students are encouraged and
taught to become self-motivated learners who can work independently,
co-operatively and happily to gain the skills they need to make choices about
their lives, now, and in the future.
At Tamborine Mountain State School, we place an
emphasis on every student’s creativity and achievement. We give students many
opportunities to participate in many extra-curricular activities. Tamborine
Mountain State School has a whole school focus on achievement and success in
academic, sporting, arts and cultural programs, which can only be achieved by
students attending school every day and our school and broader communities
working with us to ensure we are continually Striving for the Highest!
TMSS is proud to be a member of the Happy School
program. We value our staff and believe that the work we do is important.
Staff morale and well-being have a HUGE impact on student
achievement, relationships within our school and the successful implementation
of change. High stress levels have a negative impact and increase staff
absence. A happier staff leads to better results!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Tamborine Mountain State
School staff would like to acknowledge the Wangerriburra people, the
traditional Custodians of the land upon which our school resides. On this land
they taught the children their beliefs, knowledge and culture as we seek to do
the same for children of the Tamborine Mountain State School community. We pay
our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge their
spiritual and ongoing connection to Country.
