Tatachilla is home to state-leading leading facilities that significantly enhance the learning experience for our students.

These include our acclaimed Tatachilla Ecosanctuary, stunning four-pitch cricket facility and revolutionary iFarm.

Tatachilla Ecosanctuary

The Tatachilla Ecosanctuary comprises 3.4-hectares of beautiful native wilderness on the Tatachilla Lutheran College campus, which has been modelled on the natural ecosystems that once existed in the McLaren Vale region.

The sanctuary provides all Tatachilla students with the opportunity to spend intentional time in the natural world and increase their knowledge of sustainability principles and the processes that underpin our natural ecosystems.

Four-pitch cricket facility

Our elite outdoor cricket facility has been custom built for aspiring cricketers who are seeking to train at the next level.

It comprises four netted pitches and provides all students with the opportunity to hone their cricket skills in a safe, contemporary and hard-wearing environment.

The facility is available to all Tatachilla students as well as players from the McLaren Districts Cricket Club as part of a community partnership that is designed to help boost participation in Australia’s national sport at the local level.

iFarm

Tatachilla is one of only seven schools in South Australia to have a revolutionary iFarm.

The iFarm is a fully computerised, outdoor farm research station that forms an exciting part of the college’s expanded agricultural science pathway.

The iFarm features eight automated garden beds that allow students to compare the impact of different soil types, irrigation levels, fertilisers and micro-climates on crop growth.
