The Location and Community

Tambrey PS is an Independent Public School, centrally located in the City of Karratha 1600km north-west of Perth. Our school is part of the Pilbara Education Region and has recently celebrated its 35th anniversary. The Pilbara has diverse cultural and environmental experiences from Exmouth to Broome to Tom Price.

Karratha offers a number of modern facilities and is one of the fastest growing towns in the north of Western Australia. Known as ‘Munjaree’ - or the heart of the West Pilbara Coast - its size and central location make it the ideal base for exploring the natural delights of the area. Millstream Chichester National Park, Karijini National Park, Dampier Archipelago,



Point Samson Peninsula and the Burrup Peninsula and Murujuga National Park - Karratha is the home of boating, camping and fishing. Iron and awe can be found in equal measure in Karratha. Known for its iron ore operations, this is the gateway to the marine-life rich Dampier Archipelago, the world’s most prolific prehistoric rich engraving site, Karijini’s four-billion-year-old adventure playground and Millstream’s Chichester National Park. It’s also one of the few locations where you can witness the Staircase to the Moon. Karratha is a two-hour flight or a 16-hour road trip from Perth and a three-hour drive south of Port Hedland.
