We say at Tannum Sands State High School that learning is an active thing, not something that happens to you. It is your job to learn. We expect you will set your own goals, work towards them without affecting the rights of others, study hard and behave.
Remember, at high school, you have only 1000 school days to give yourself the broadest range of options after Year 12 that you can! Work hard and behave, not because you'll get into trouble if you don't (and you will!), but because it is important for YOUR future that you do. Create your futures, in fact!
Notice, the motto says 'our' because we all learn together, respectful of each other's rights, feelings and successes.
