A welcome message from our principal, Elizabeth Bate.
It is with great pleasure and pride that I welcome you to Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College (TLSC) Tumbi Umbi Campus website as we share with you a snippet of what we provide for students, parents/carers and our richly diverse community every day.
Research tells us that schools are one of the few remaining established social structures in our local communities accessed by all families. Communities are built on a sense of belonging. A sense of community is strongly fostered in children through attendance at their local school. We aim to nurture that sense of belonging in all students and their families. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about our campus as we demonstrate how we live our campus motto of 'Standing Tall' and our campus values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Fairness.
Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College Tumbi Umbi Campus is one of two middle years campuses within TLSC, and a member of the celebrated Tuggerah Lakes Learning Community. Located in a picturesque bushland setting, TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus is a learning environment which students, staff, and community have collaboratively created since the site opened in 1997.
TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus successfully develops confident, socially responsible adolescents through quality, responsive and engaging learning experiences delivered in a middle school setting.
TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus prides itself on being recognised and awarded for consistently providing an inclusive environment where adolescent students achieve personal best in academic, cultural, sporting, environmental and community arenas at local, state and national levels.
