Academic achievement is our core activity. Tuart Forest students work hard and are expected to meet minimum benchmarks of academic performance. A positive work ethic and talented teachers, combined with high expectations from parents and staff, have produced success from year to year. One of the key aims of our scholastic attainment is to customise the school’s curriculum to our students’ needs and interests.
