Tara has a well resourced pastoral care program. We aim to provide effective support for the social and spiritual welfare of every girl. Tara has a very friendly and warm atmosphere. We work in a partnership with parents to create a caring environment where girls can relax and be themselves. Girls are encouraged to consider the needs of those less fortunate in the community both in Australia and globally.
Tara has specialist staff who nurture and guide each student. Working with the girls are our Chaplain, Counsellors in the Junior and Senior School, Youth Worker, School Nurse, Year Coordinators and Deputy Principal-Pastoral Care. |
