Tara Foundation
Tara raises money so that we can provide the best for our Tara girls so that they in turn can make a positive contribution throughout their life - to their family, workplace, community and even possibly to humanity.
The Trustees of the Tara Foundation volunteer their time and share their expertise to support and guide Tara’s fundraising efforts and advise on the investment of money raised to maximise the incomes of our various Funds. It is the School Council’s role to use the money to meet the short term and long term needs of the School.
The excellent facilities which Tara enjoys today are the result of the foresight, generosity and planning of our community, past and present. For more information about the Tara Foundation, please click here or contact our Finance and Operations Manager,John Ingegneri, via email.
