An independent, coeducational Lutheran school in the heart of McLaren Vale on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia. Reception to Year 12.
The Australian Curriculum sets the expectations for what all young Australians should be taught from Reception to Year 10, regardless of where they live in Australia or their background.
The Australian Curriculum comprises a series of learning areas (below) that are adopted fully by Tatachilla and brought to life through a broad and enriching range of lived experiences:
The college applies a cross-disciplinary approach to teaching the subjects above, allowing students to consider concepts through the lens of multiple and complementary disciplines wherever possible, and helping them to develop three-dimensional thinking.
From Year 9 onwards, students have the opportunity to choose electives to complement subjects in the Australian Curriculum. These electives are outlined in the Tatachilla Lutheran College curriculum guides (below).

The South Australian Certificate of Education is an internationally recognised qualification awarded to students who complete their senior secondary education.
The certificate is based on two stages of achievement: Stage 1 (usually completed in Year 11) and Stage 2 (usually completed in Year 12). Students can choose from a rich range of exciting subjects and courses as part of their SACE studies, noting that units in English and Mathematics at Stage 1 are compulsory.
In addition to the Australian Curriculum and SACE offerings, all Tatachilla students undertake Christian Studies from Reception to Year 10 as a core and ongoing aspect of their learning.
In Year 11, students undertake Spirituality, Religion and Meaning as either a Stage 1 subject (one semester) or a Stage 2 subject (full year subject). When students reach Year 12, Christian Studies is not taught as a formal subject but rather explored through a series of spiritual seminars and retreats.
This is part of the college’s commitment to helping students develop a strong spiritual foundation for their future lives, uphold Christian values and understand that they have a unique and sacred role to play in the world.
Whatever your chosen pathway, we are here to walk it with you.
