Enrolments - Tamborine Mountain College

Where Every Child Starts at the Top of the Mountain

"I wanted a small and caring environment for my children and deliberately chose TMC for this reason. My child is in year 4 and has thrived at TMC. He comes home calmer, content and happier and I know it’s because the teachers genuinely care as do all the staff. My child is definitely not a number at this school and I would recommend it to anyone."

International

International students are welcome at Tamborine Mountain College. We take a small number of students from overseas countries and these students are sometimes accommodated with College families for a set weekly boarding fee.

Students are welcome at any stage of their schooling years, but most are interested in the pre-university courses which are Years 11 and 12. Students require a good level of English for these courses. Year 10 gives a good introduction to the study in Years 11 and 12 along with additional time to develop English Skills. Students may attend at any time over the Years 7 to 12 depending on available places. Primary enrolment is only available under certain conditions.

"We have been at the College for three years now and we absolutely love it. Our daughter is in Year 1 and our son is Year 10. We couldn’t wish for a better school to send our children to. We love that it is a smaller school. We are extremely happy and would highly recommend the College to other families."
