Tennis and lawn bowls attract a wide range of age groups also. Less active recreation options include Bridge and Mah Jong. There are also a number of different music groups, best known of these being the Tamborine Mountain Youth Orchestra. The theatrical minded will be warmly welcomed into the Tamborine Mountain Little Theatre. Crafty people will meet many friends at the Wednesday Creative Arts group and the Tamborine Mountain Historical Society always welcomes those lucky enough to have the time for involvement in collecting and organizing their materials at their historic tourist site in Wongawallen Road.
Professional organizations play an important role in community affairs.
Almost 600 children attend our two local primary schools. Kindergarten and preschool facilities are also available and an excellent private child care centre is located close to the North Tamborine State School. We are indeed fortunate to have a very modern local High School with outstanding equipment and facilities right here on the Mountain. It is currently run as a campus of Helensvale High School on the Coast but as of the start of 2001 will be a fully independent school with its own Headmistress - and she is a really impressive lady with a positive attitude to technology. 2001 will see our High School catering for students for Years 7 through to 11 with the first Year 12 students completing their education in 2002.
