The Program

The Nature School (TNS) Primary is fully registered and delivers the NSW Syllabus in all key learning areas from Kindergarten through to Year 6. High-quality education is at the forefront of what we do. What makes us different, is we regularly take learning beyond the traditional classroom. Our learning model is inquiry-based with a focus on scientific exploration through real-world experiments. For our students, we emphasise learning by doing and encourage curiosity and cooperation. Students are grouped in small classes, with opportunities for multi-age learning and inquiry-based projects. Our smaller class sizes allow teachers to focus on the individual needs of students so they can get the most out of their school learning experience

The Nature School Port Macquarie

Learners at TNS are scientific thinkers, curious questioners, and articulate communicators, capable of affecting change now and in the future.
