The soil from which the future grows

As Tarneit grows into a major centre, it’s heartening to see one of the most crucial components of community infrastructure so well represented in the area’s diverse number of schools and learning facilities.

Availability of schooling is not just important to the families looking to educate their children close to home. It’s also critical for the long-term health of a community and the wider population at large.

Thankfully, there have been a number of schools established within the Tarneit boundaries in anticipation of such growth. They range from kindergartens to primary and secondary institutions, covering the educational needs of kids from all walks of life.

For younger families, in addition to Kindergartens like Greenvue and Tarneit Central, there is the Goodstart Early Learning Centre. Primary school students are served by St James, St Francis of Assisi, and St John the Apostle Primary.

Secondary age kids meanwhile have numerous options including Thomas Carr College, Baden Powell Year 9, Tarneit Central College, not to mention the Islamic College of Melbourne, and the highly regarded Good News Lutheran College.

And that’s all without mentioning the ready proximity of schools just outside the Tarneit boundaries in suburbs such as Hopper’s Crossing and Werribee.

With education being the soil from which society springs, there’s really no better illustration that Orchard really does offer ‘a place to grow’!
