Subject Choices
Tara offers an all-round education and we encourage the pursuit of life-ling learning. Our curriculum offerings enable students to take pride in their achievements, gain confidence in their abilities and develop good organisational skills.
In Year 7, all students study a common course. Year 8 students are offered two extra electives to study aside from their mandatory courses. Years 9 and 10 students are offered three electives to study. Subject Choice enquiries may be forwarded to our Deputy Principal, Heidi O’Brien, via email.
