From the Principal

I would like to express my acknowledgement and congratulations to the Tara students and staff for the exceptional HSC results in 2023. We are thrilled for all our students, as this year marked a significant occasion with some of the most outstanding results ever achieved by Tara students.

Congratulations to the eight students who attained the "All Rounder" distinction by scoring more than 90 in 10 or more units they studied.

Imogen Barber - Mylan Do - Ashiqca Manandhar - Siya Parikh - Leyva Samuel - Seungyeon (Sienna) Seo - Alisha Vedi - Hannah Wang

Congratulations to Leyva Samuel who placed 1st in NSW for the Hospitality Examination, Cameron Khadi who placed 3rd for the Hospitality Examination and to Hannah Wang for placing 9th in Chemistry. These results stand as a testament to the hard work and determination exhibited by these Tara girls.

In 2023 a phenomenal three students achieved an ATAR of 99.5 - congratulations to Mylan, Alisha and Hannah for this outstanding result. Another two students also achieved an ATAR over 99 - congratulations Siya and Junjian (Annabel).

Four students received nominations for SHAPE for their major works in Design and Technology and IT Multimedia

Over 90% of the 2023 cohort received an early entry offer to a university or college course and these diverse offers reflect the varied interests and aspirations of Tara girls, showcasing the range of opportunities pursued across different institutions and disciplines.

While the statistics are impressive, the Year 12 cohort is more important than the numbers. Every student has been known, cared for, well taught and provided with many opportunities in her time at Tara, which have allowed the girls to grow and thrive. I am grateful to the Tara staff, from Early Learning through to Year 12 who have walked with the students and participated in their growth. Thank you to all the staff, in all the varied roles that make “Tara” what it is for each girl. As the girls have completed their final year, thank you especially to Mrs Crawford as Year Coordinator, the Year 12 mentors, Mr Baker, Mr Bonson and Mrs Griffiths in particular, for your leadership and care. My thanks also to Mrs Middlebrook for her strong educational leadership and passion for Tara which has also contributed to these outstanding results.

Congratulations Class of 2023 and God’s richest blessings for you beyond the Tara gates.
