ABOUT US:

Timboon P-12 School is well known for its ‘TAP’ (Timboon Agriculture Project)

program. This program taps into the vibrant agriculture industry that directly in-

volves 70% of our families. A P-12 approach to the teaching of agriculture is en-

couraged and is extensively supported by local business and the farming commu-

nity. We offer the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program and are an

‘Asthma Friendly’ ‘Kids Matter’, ‘Sun Smart’ accredited school. Community part-

nerships are highly valued by the school. Timboon and District Healthcare services

provide a wide variety of health and welfare programs and a joint venture be-

tween Timboon P-12 School and the Corangamite Shire has resulted in a School/

Community Library and a shared sporting complex. In addition to the comprehen-

sive classroom programs offered in literacy and numeracy, an integrated curricu-

lum program and unit system address the domains of Science, Humanities/

History, Design and Technology, The Arts, Civics and Citizenship, and Health.

These domains are also cross referenced with the literacy program. Specialist P-6

and 7-12 teachers provide targeted instruction in designated areas. Interdiscipli-

nary, personal and social learning are addressed within the domains and support-

ed by a range of Outdoor Education camps and excursions. The school is an active
