Taieri College

A traditional school with a strong history stretching back to 1864, and community that has always embraced learning.

At Taieri College, we unashamedly have high expectations of our students and enjoy challenging and encouraging them to reach their potential. Aiming for excellence and being the best we possibly can is important to us. We pride ourselves on a holistic approach to every child’s education and enjoy sharing their successes in academic, cultural and sporting endeavours. In order to shine in today’s society; young people need to be adaptive, creative and critical thinkers. These are key elements in our school culture.

We are proud of our co- educational tradition as we believe it instils rich social values that allow our young people to move on to the next phase of their lives with confidence and optimism. Celebrating diversity, understanding gender differences, and developing a sense of belonging are critical in producing connected and socially adjusted young people. Home - school partnership is another important component of our school success. We place great value in informing parents of a student’s progress and consider it to be fundamental in student achievement.
