Ms Holly Boardman - Dean of Learning (E-6)

The Tara Junior School Primary Years Programme (PYP) Exhibition was held on Thursday 24 October, celebrating the culmination of each student's journey through the International Baccalaureate PYP. This year’s Exhibition marked a significant milestone, through which our Year 6 students engaged in inquiries that highlighted their commitment to making a positive impact in the local community and beyond.

The central idea for Exhibition 2024 was: "Through small actions, everyone can make a difference"

This central idea guided the students as they explored issues of local and personal significance. Each student identified pressing topics that resonated with their passions and concerns, allowing them to formulate lines of inquiry focused on issues they deeply care about and believe they can influence.

To direct their inquiries, the girls crafted research questions, drawing on support from teachers and mentors. They engaged with diverse resources, designed surveys, conducted interviews, and connected with community members, enhancing their understanding and fostering relationships that enriched their projects. Strong connections to our local community were extremely valuable as local experts were invited to share their knowledge and support the students. Their contributions not only enhanced the learning experience but also highlighted the importance of collaboration in driving change.

As the students synthesised their findings, they articulated their insights and demonstrated how their understanding of their chosen issues evolved. This process deepened their knowledge and reinforced their ability to communicate effectively.

With their research complete, the girls took meaningful action to share their learning with the Tara community. Students used various mediums such as artwork, interactive displays, campaigns, and digital projects. Their work illustrated not only their understanding of the issues but also their visions for positive change.

Reflection was woven throughout the inquiry process. Regular mentor meetings allowed students to assess their progress and adjust their plans. Through reflective journaling, they represented their strengths, identified areas for growth, and addressed unresolved questions. The culmination of their efforts was showcased in a Learning Map, visually documenting their journeys and insights.

A heartfelt thank you to Miss MacAskill, Mrs Snelson, Miss Dos Santos, and all the dedicated teachers and mentors who guided our students through Exhibition 2024. Your expertise, patience, and commitment were instrumental in shaping this experience.

Congratulations to our Year 6 girls! Your courage, creativity, and collaborative spirit made this year’s PYP Exhibition a testament to the power of student agency and community support. Together, you have demonstrated that small change really can have a big impact. 

Lead the way and give your daughter a promising future - she belongs at Tara.

Annie and Simren - Crawford Heads of House

On 6 September Crawford had the Service Learning Day. This year we decided to do a cupcake design competition to support our sponsor child Martha. 

Martha lives with her mother in Mexico. She celebrated her 13th birthday on 22 September. Each year, we receive letters and photographs from Martha. We love reading them and learning more about her and her life in Mexico.  

The week before Crawford Service Learning Day all girls in Junior School got to design a cupcake, we then collected all the submissions from the classes to select a winner from each class. In order to submit a design a gold coin was needed so that we could purchase a birthday gift for Martha. On Service Learning Day, Tara girls wore hair accessories in the colours of the Mexican flag (red, white and green). Each girl brought in another gold coin to support and help Martha and her family. When the winners were finally selected (it was very hard according to our judges) each winner got to take home a cupcake. 

Additionally, every class made a card or wrote a letter to Martha wishing her a Happy Birthday and thanking her for the letter she wrote us. As well as writing her letters and cards, Miss Bowden kindly brought in balloons to hang up in turning circle as well as other decorations to celebrate Martha’s Birthday. 

Crawford raised $450 dollars in total and a few girls even got to walk home with a cupcake. On behalf of the Crawford House Team, I would like to thank all the work and effort everyone put in to make this day happen and a special thanks to Miss Bowden our house patron.

Our Early Learning Centre (ELC) and Kindergarten students have spent the year immersed in imaginative storytelling, discovering the many ways stories can be shared. To build on this learning, we kicked off Term 4 with a special outing to see The Gruffalo stage show, based on the beloved book by Julia Donaldson.

The adventure began with a bus ride to the theatre, sparking excitement as the girls took in the sights along the way. After the engaging performance, we enjoyed lunch and playtime together in a nearby park before returning to school. Here are some of the girls’ reflections on their memorable day:

ELC: 

• I like that when we were on the bus I saw a lot of different things on the way like trees – Ayami
• I like the bus because it took us to the Gruffalo Show. I also liked the Gruffalo because he was funny – Effie
• I liked when the fox was pulling the mouses tail – Amiya
• My favourite was the mouse. She was playing tricks with every animal – Rachel
• I like the Gruffalo and the dancing snake – Valentina
• My favourite thing was playing at the park – Ava
• The swing is my favourite because it goes very high – Ada

Kindergarten: 

• I liked watching the Gruffalo. My favourite character was Snake because he was very funny – Grace
• I liked Fox in The Gruffalo because he was singing a silly song – Aimee
• My favourite thing was going on the zipline because it went very fast – Ira
• I liked it when Mrs Cha and Mrs Schultz went on the flying fox at the same time - Nicole
• I liked it when my friend and I were spinning the ELC girls around on the round-a-bout – Isla.
• My favourite was sitting on the bus with Mrs Schultz on the way home. She gave me a peppermint – Souly

The quiz provides a major focus for secondary school students on the relevance of chemistry in an exciting and stimulating way. Thirty four students who were involved and commended for taking the challenge.

A special congratulations to the following students who achieved excellent results:

Angelina H - Year 11 Legal Studies Student 

At the end of Term 3, Year 11 Legal Studies were fortunate enough to visit the Downing Centre courts in the city. In the morning we heard from Judge Cole who told us about her journey in law to becoming a judge and some cases that have resonated with her through the years. Following this we had the incredible opportunity to enter different court rooms and understand how court proceedings work in real life, taking what we had learned in the classroom to real situations. My friends and I went into many courts rooms and saw many cases including a judge giving his verdict on a domestic violence crime, individuals presenting their sides of the story in the witness box, many CCTV footage of incidents occurring and how the judge deals with many matters of minor civil disputes quickly. As a whole we saw how discretion and the rule of law is applied through every case, keeping the law fair for victims, offenders and society. Overall this was such an amazing experience and one we will never forget!

Popi T and Mr Swainson - Environmental Committee

Ration the Fashion was held on Monday 9 September. It was hosted by the Environmental Committee with an aim of encouraging a reduction in the consumption of ‘fast fashion’ clothes. 

On the day students swapped clothes with friends, borrowed clothes from family and/or purchased thrifted clothes from opshops. 

Students were also given the opportunity to recycle unwanted clothing items through an organisation called Upparel. Upparel will pass these garments onto their charity partners. For those items in a poor state, Upparel will repurpose them into a new fabric. Tara students responded by bring 20kg of unwanted clothing for recycling. Most importantly, none of these garments went to landfill. 

To encourage girls to participate in Ration the Fashion, a competition was held and the winners are mentioned below.

Ellie H - Touch Football Captain

The touch football teams played well for the first round with team participation and application of new skills. Tara 2 played a close game resulting in a tie, a thrilling clash for the first round. They used the first week of training well to incorporate game moves and skills into play. Assya G (Year 11) also scored an excellent try, running far and dodging the other players. For Tara 3, there was success on the field with tries scored by Alisha S (Year 9), Sophie B (Year 9) and Victoria H (Year 8) when they made outstanding runs and had good teamwork between each other and the other players. They had a great attacking plan through passing the ball down the line to make long runs. Finally, despite a difficult face off for the first game of the season, although they came out with a loss, Tara 5 played with strong enthusiasm. It was a good experience for them to become familiar with the game rules and working together as a team. 

Bernice T - Co Water Polo Captain

In Round 1 our Senior 1st Tara Water Polo team played St Catherine's School and secured a well-earned win. This shows us that our dedication and hard work, is truly paying off. Throughout the game, we applied the skills we've been learning and practicing during practice, which helped each of us perform at our best. Teamwork was a key in our success, as working together allowed us to reach our goal of winning.  This is just the start of a great season ahead, and I’m excited to see how we continue to grow and improve as a team throughout the term. Grace T (Co Water Polo Captain)

The Senior 1sts waterpolo team played a very successful first game of the season with a win against St Catherine’s. Though the opposing team had some strong defence, our firsts team worked extremely hard together with communication, and coordination, they were able to move through the defence and get some tricky goals in, especially Lia N who scored many amazing goals and Skye A scoring some difficult shots. Our players were able to put some pressure on the opposition with strong drives and great ball work. Eliza M played a fantastic game as goalkeeper blocking several difficult shots from the other team. Overall, especially as it was the first game, the team showed great trust and team sprit leading to a well-deserved victory. 

Bhavya B - Tennis Captain

Our tennis teams had success in Round 1, with 5 out of 7 teams securing wins, is proof to the hard work and commitment they have all put in during training. The dedication to fixing our skills, improving teamwork, and staying focused has really paid off. Every player has shown determination, and it's clear that the efforts on the practice courts are becoming strong performances in matches. These victories are just the beginning, and I’m excited to see how we continue to grow and excel as the season progresses.

In the semi-final match against Danebank, Tara 2 delivered an outstanding team performance, demonstrating synergy and tactical discipline. Every player contributed significantly to the victory, emphasising the team's commitment to both ends of the court. Defensively, the team applied consistent pressure, ensuring every opponent was closely marked, while offensively, they capitalised on their chances, driving aggressively towards the basket. Cleo F was pivotal in the defensive setup, often initiating fast breaks and transitioning the ball smoothly down the court. Agatha H earned recognition for her relentless hustle; her ability to force turnovers and her tenacity in 50-50 situations stood out, exemplifying the kind of grit that defines this team. If there were an award for the hardest worker on the floor, it would undoubtedly go to her. Joyce L, despite playing through an injury, remained a defensive anchor, consistently contesting shots and locking down her assignments. Her resilience had a notable impact. Syna L was crucial in organising the defensive coverage, ensuring the team maintained its structure while also driving hard on offence to create scoring opportunities. Chloe T came through under pressure, knocking down two crucial free throws and positioning herself smartly throughout the game, contributing not only in scoring but also in ball movement. Claire L played a strong defensive game, using her positioning well to prevent the opposition from making clean passes. Justine W was instrumental in pushing the pace, skilfully navigating through defenders and creating opportunities for herself and her teammates in transition. The game ended with a well-deserved 21-12 victory. Tara's cohesive effort, relentless defence, and intelligent offensive plays were key factors in securing the win, setting the stage for their upcoming final.

In the semi-final match against Kincoppal Rose Bay, Tara 3 put on a dynamic display of teamwork and skill. Reeta, Allison, Nicole, and Eden (Year 9) showcased excellent chemistry, passing the ball with both speed and precision, keeping the opposition on the back foot throughout the game.

Wynne and Akshraa (Year 9) were instrumental in controlling the boards, securing multiple rebounds that helped the team maintain possession and build momentum. The team was guided and encouraged by their coach, Sarah, whose leadership and motivation played a key role in their performance.
