Part of Tara’s vision relates to helping girls reach their potential. One of the great strengths of our School is the way we address the development of the whole person. We work in a partnership with parents to create a caring environment where girls can relax and be themselves.

The Deputy Principal-Pastoral Care, Rod Braine, leads a group of dedicated people who oversee our formal and informal programs. We believe that one of the keys to unlocking girls’ potential is to equip them with certain core values such as empathy, integrity and responsibility.

The Tutors and Year Coordinators in Senior School are usually the first point of contact for any specific concern. All of our staff are involved in promoting Tara’s ethos on a daily basis. The School also has excellent professional staff including a School Counsellor and a Chaplain.

Pastoral Care at Tara directs and empowers girls to live their Christian values and to have positive relationships. In the Senior School, there are Tutor groups which are based on the four Houses: Crawford, Hake, Walker and Waugh.

Students and parents can feel secure in the knowledge of the professionalism, diligence and genuine care for the individual exhibited by the Tara staff.
