Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
At our school, students can take part in special religious education which are delivered by approved providers.
When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.
You’re welcome to change your choice at any time - just let us know in writing.
For more information, visit the department’s website or contact us.
At our school, we give the right support to help gifted learners to grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.

Our learning approach
At Tuggerawong Public School, we believe every child can learn and thrive when given the right support. Our teaching is grounded in explicit instruction, where students are clearly guided through what they are learning, why it matters, and how to master it - step by step. This approach helps break down complex ideas into manageable parts, making learning accessible and meaningful for all students.
We are proud to offer a student-centred and inclusive learning environment that reflects our commitment to equity and access. Our teachers use evidence-based strategies and participate in ongoing professional development to enhance collaboration and improve classroom practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- Real-world learning: Students engage in hands-on tasks, group projects, and inquiry-based exploration to connect classroom concepts with everyday life.
- Technology integration: We use digital tools to support learning and build essential skills for the future.
- Flexible teaching: Our staff tailor instruction to meet individual needs, with a strong focus on wellbeing and emotional support.
- Community connections: We enrich learning through local excursions, partnerships, and programs that link students to their broader community.
Our school values the unique strengths of every learner and works closely with families to ensure all students feel supported, challenged, and inspired.
Helping students progress
We’re committed to helping every student succeed. Our teachers track progress, set learning goals, and provide clear feedback. Students receive personalised support when needed, including small group help in literacy and numeracy.
We keep families informed and work together to support learning at school and home. Wellbeing is part of everyday learning, and we guide students through key transitions like starting school or moving to a new stage.
