The Nature School is excited to announce the opening of TNS Secondary in 2023, beginning with year 7. Each year we will continue to grow with our students, with an additional year program up until year 10 in 2026. TNS Secondary is fully registered and will be delivering the NSW Syllabus in all key learning areas. We will continue to extend our Learning Naturally framework which delivers an integrated approach to learning subjects. In keeping with our core values and learning philosophy as a school, there is an emphasis on field study learning and offsite excursions. Students are encouraged to become engaged global citizens and will actively participate and contribute to citizen science projects with their teachers.
At all levels of TNS, nature-based education supports the development of social and emotional intelligence and wellbeing.
