Taroona Primary School is located in Hobart, Tasmania in the suburb of Taroona. We enjoy a clean environment surrounded by bushland, overlooking the River Derwent.
We generally have a student population of around 300 students, including kindergarten children, and 22 full and part time teachers. The socio-economic background of our students is predominately middle class, a majority of our student population have parents at home with high levels of education. This is interspersed with a small number of students from low socio-economic backgrounds and a few migrant students.
We are confident that this program has the opportunity to succeed in any school environment if the program is tailored to suit the numbers and capabilities of students at each particular school. The problems we have generally encountered with student conduct in our program would be consistent in most schools. These issues are addressed in the section about ‘How to manage negative behaviour’.
We hope that our program provides your school with the many benefits that it has ours.
