Tweed Valley College 

here are several things that set us apart:
The beautiful rural environment.
Our policy to not grow beyond the small family school atmosphere that is so special here.
Strong Christian values and approach to education.
A free after-school tutoring/support block on a Wednesday for the primary students called “Nudgemon Zone”.
A free after-school maths tutoring/support block on a Monday afternoon for our Secondary students.
The focused curriculum approach in Year 11 and 12 so that the senior students only focus on six units for both Preliminary and the HSC in each year of the two senior years. Thus they are only preparing for six units worth of HSC exams each year rather than trying to spread themselves over 12 units in the final Year 12 year.
