The Taroom/Wandoan Branch was formed in November 1987. Our branch covers the districts around the townships of Taroom and Wandoan and at present we have 53 families as members. We have two life members - Anita Lethbridge and Dianne Redman.

Our branch has 3 small one-teacher schools in our area as well as the Taroom and Wandoan P-10 Schools which both have small secondary departments.

The main concerns brought to the attention of our branch relate to support for rural teachers in areas such as professional development and equitable access for rural teachers to conferences for new teaching techniques especially in this time of review and reform in our education system.

Many children in our area attend boarding school so issues relating to boarding are very relevant and important to members of our branch.
