Tara offers an all round education for girls Pre K-12 and Boarding for Years 5-12. Tara consistently achieves strong academic results which reflect our ongoing commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. Tara educates girls to be leaders and active participants in the school community. We have over 114 years heritage of educating girls and our teachers understand girls’ particular educational and developmental needs.

Tara offers flexible services for modern families, including on site Before and After School Childcare and Vacation Care and part time or full time boarding. Our Boarding facility (Eggleton House) offers an excellent opportunity for girls coming from isolated and remote areas, from the country, or from overseas, to live and study in a secure environment.

Tara is located close to Parramatta and girls can have easy access to the cultural, educational and sporting facilities in Sydney, yet live in a beautifully landscaped, spacious area. The Tara Boarding experience enables girls to make an easy transition to city living and tertiary study.
The Junior School curriculum includes the six Key Learning Areas prescribed by the NSW Board of Studies: English; Mathematics; Science and Technology; Human Society and its Environment; Creative and Practical Arts; and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education. Christian Studies is a core subject at Tara. Tara Junior School, in addition, offers many opportunities for the girls beyond these six Key Learning Areas with specialist teachers for specific subject areas (e.g. Art, Science, Music, Languages, Sport).

Years 11-12 electives include: Business Studies, Economics, Legal Studies, Information Processes and Technology, Software Design and Development, Design and Technology, Drama, English (Advanced, Standard, Fundamentals, Extension 1, Extension 2), Food Technology, Geography, History (Ancient, Modern, Extension), Languages: French, German and Japanese (Continuers, Extension) Mathematics (General, Extension 1, Extension 2), Music (Music 1, Music 2, Extension), PDHPE, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Senior Science, Studies of Religion (1 unit), Visual Arts, Visual Design and Vocational Education and Training in Hospitality and Information Technology.
Tara offers a wide range of extra and co curricular activities across the arts, debating, sport and music. We encourage each girl to discover and develop her talents.

The development of our girls' interests and talents is a major focus of the extensive Co Curricular program. Participation, commitment and achievement in co and extra curricular areas are recognised in the School's honour awards.
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, School Counsellor, Youth Worker, School Nurse, Year Coordinators and Deputy Principal-Pastoral Care.
