College Motto

Victory & Valour stands proudly as the defining Motto of Tamborine Mountain College, embodying the noble pursuits of triumph and courage that we hold dear. At the entrance of our administration building, two majestic bronze lions, named Victory and Valour, stand as formidable sentinels, symbolising the strength and determination inherent in our educational Mission.

This duo serves as a constant reminder of the virtues we instill in our students. The drive to achieve victory in their academic pursuits and the valour to confront challenges with resilience. The symbolism extends to our unique class structure, where each year level is purposely capped at two classes, and students are affiliated with either the Vic or Val Form.

We Believe

At Tamborine Mountain College we believe that children:

- Deserve a safe, supportive learning environment;
- Benefit from investigation and learning through experience; and
- Have individual learning needs.
