Discovery Day

Students currently in Year 5 and Year 6 and who are not already enrolled to attend Tatachilla Lutheran College are warmly invited to spend an afternoon at our school and discover what’s on offer in Year 7 and the opportunities that await them in secondary school.

Participants will also have the opportunity to spend time in our award-winning EcoClassroom, meet our native animals and learn about our re-wilding programs.
