Tara is a non-selective School where our girls achieve excellent results across a wide range of subjects. Congratulations to our Tara Staff whose excellent teaching skills and scholarship have been integral to our girls’ success.

We are proud of all of our 2008 HSC students who have attained personal academic goals and who have contributed enormously to the vibrant life of the School in areas including leadership, sport and in the creative and performing arts. As these young women leave Tara we wish them well for the future.

Finally we wish to thank the Tara parents for their wonderful support of their daughters and of our School. Tara cannot achieve excellence in Teaching and Learning without parental support. Our strong sense of community at Tara helps our girls to feel secure and empowered to achieve.
