Tuncurry Public School has a proud identity within the local community. Teachers and parents hold expectations for students to learn in a caring and respectful school environment which is supportive and purposeful and where a child's success is openly recognised and valued. Teachers work in stage teams guiding student development, and the acquisition of knowledge, skills, understanding and strategies in all learning areas. A sequential development of curriculum outcomes is linked to programming of teaching and learning activities, assessment and reporting. Emphasis is placed upon literacy and numeracy development for all students. Student welfare, creative and performing arts, physical education, gifted and talented education and sport are valued areas of the curriculum. A balance between academic, cultural, sporting and leadership opportunities for children is a school ideal.
