Our History

The history of primary education in Tang dates back to 1858 with the establishment of the first Primary school for the area. ​

​The school was to serve the community of Tang for over 100 years and ceased to operate as a school in 1965 when it was replaced with a new school building on a site adjacent, St. Mary's National School, which opened in 1965 as a three-teacher school with three classrooms.

The old schoolhouse has been beautifully renovated and now serves the people of Tang as our community centre.
