History

=Our School History=

Tuntable Falls Primary School was established in 1981 as a natural follow-on to the formation of the pre-school on the Tuntable Falls Co-operative.The community wished to provide a different educational environment to the State system for their children.

The school is located on Tuntable Falls Co-op land and all of the school buildings have been constructed with the voluntary labour of many Co-op members and financed in large part by fundraising activities of the community and parents.

The School embraces enrolements from both community members children and children from the wider community of Nimbin and surrounding areas.

Originally, the school consisted of a classroom, kitchen and veranda adjacent to the pre-school. To that has been added a separate craft room and classroom extension, as well as an adventure playground and a flat sports area including a cricket pitch and nets.

The school has access to public transport with a bus leaving Nimbin Central School bus station at 8.50 arriving at school at 9.15 and returning children to Nimbin at 3.05. This bus connects with other school buses providing transport to areas outlying Nimbin.
