School Overview

We are mindful of honoring the unique relationship our community and school have enjoyed these past 200 historic years and we are determined to continue to provide relevant high-quality education for learners of all ages as they embrace a future that offers many exciting opportunities and challenges. We recognise that Sorell sits in the middle of the South East Region of Tasmania and at the gateway to the Tasman Peninsula and East Coast. Based on the unique geographical location we envisage an emerging role for Sorell School as a Centre for education and training for the South East Region.

At Sorell School we offer birth to adult learning experiences in purposefully designed facilities. Beginning with our first Five years Launching into Learning and Kindergarten experiences through to our Years 11-12, adult education and training programs.

Our school includes unique educational opportunities such as a School Farm and a Heritage Village that add outstanding “hands-on, minds-on” contexts for our learning programs.

The Tasmanian State Government has committed significant works funding that has seen a complete re-development of Sorell School. The works have included a combination of new buildings, refurbishment of existing facilities, and a Child and Family Learning Centre (CFLC), ‘The Nest’.

Sorell School has a long and proud history. We look forward to continuing to strengthen and grow our partnerships with families, businesses and organisations already linked to our school and welcoming new families into our community.
