Does your child learn best in a small class?

Tatachilla Lutheran College has intentionally reduced its class sizes in the junior years (Reception to Year 6) to best enable the school’s youngest students to consolidate their foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, relationship-building and learning.

Smaller class sizes give students a greater level of one-on-one attention from their teacher and more opportunities to develop their cognitive (and non-cognitive) skills. They also give the college’s youngest students more opportunity to find their personal voice in a classroom setting.

Research indicates that reduced class sizes in the earlier years of school can have an important and lasting impact on student achievement in the later years as well. As such, Tatachilla’s youngest students are ideally positioned to continue flourishing academically and socially in the middle and senior years.

Smaller class sizes have been achieved by introducing additional classes at each year level.

As such, limited enrolment vacancies now exist for the 2025 school year in Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 4.
