Our teaching and learning program is guided by the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM) 2.0, supported by a multi-tiered system of support to ensure that every student receives the level of challenge and assistance they need to succeed. In the junior years, students participate in an explicit synthetic phonics program, building strong foundations in early reading and writing.

Students also take ownership of their learning through Personal Learning Goals in Literacy and Numeracy, regularly reflecting on their progress and achievements.
We are proud to offer a wide range of learning experiences beyond the classroom. Students participate in weekly multi-age club programs, encouraging collaboration, creativity and connections across year levels. Our Kitchen Garden program promotes healthy habits, where students grow produce in the school garden and then prepare and cook meals in our student kitchen.
The school maintains a strong commitment to student leadership, developing confident role models who contribute positively to the school community.
Tambo Upper Primary School also recognises and values its connection to the Gunai Kurnai First Nations people. The discovery of several cultural artefacts on our school site has strengthened our commitment to acknowledging and respecting the rich cultural history of the area.
