The school's motto, "Pro Bono Omnium", which translates as "For The Good Of All", was chosen in 1927 by Mr. Fitch, the staff, and the students.

In 1975, the Templeton Park pool was completed, along with playing fields, a track, tennis courts and sand pits.

Templeton has a stated goal of building knowledge, acceptance, empathy, and appreciation of Aboriginal peoples' histories.

The school has a Sacred Room, a welcoming and comfortable space for all students that celebrates Aboriginal traditions and cultures.
