Tighes Hill Public School

Nearly 150 years. Endless opportunity. The Tighes Hill difference.

High Expectations. Every Child

We believe every child can achieve, because brilliance looks different in every child. Our teachers know their students well and use explicit, evidence-informed teaching, assessment and differentiation to provide the right support and challenge at every stage of primary school. We set high expectations while helping every student grow in confidence, capability and independence.

Brilliance Has No Ceiling

Every child deserves opportunities to discover what they can do and where they can shine. Through High Potential and Gifted Education, extension and enrichment, leadership, sport, STEM, creative arts, clubs and competitions, we encourage students to pursue their interests, stretch themselves and develop their unique talents.

A School Where You Belong

For more than 150 years, Tighes Hill Public School has been part of the local community, creating a strong sense of connection that continues today. We know our students, work closely with families and foster an inclusive environment where every child feels known, valued and supported. Our active and highly supportive P&C helps bring families together and makes school life richer for our whole community.
