We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating International Women’s Day 2026. This special event will be held on Thursday, 5 March 2026, and all families and students are welcome to attend.

We are delighted to introduce two inspiring guest speakers who will share their experiences and insights as we gather to celebrate the achievements, voices and potential of women and girls in our community. We encourage you to bring your daughters along for what promises to be a meaningful and uplifting morning.

This year’s theme, Balance the Scales, calls us to reflect, engage in thoughtful conversation and take action towards greater equity and opportunity for all.

Guest Speakers:

Rachel Golding

Dr Rachel Golding is a recovering academic who, in 2014, let a love of good food and a belief about care turn into a business: Dinner on the Table. After years as a postdoctoral fellow, Rachel became convinced that cooking for someone is one of the simplest - and most powerful - ways to care for them, both physically and emotionally.

Dinner on the Table is a Sydney-based social enterprise catering company. It uses profits to gift quality, made-from-scratch meals to families living with disability - because a healthy dinner on the table can remove one daily pressure for women and families already carrying a lot.

Rachel is a mum of three, has more ideas than spare hours, and a steady conviction that we can do better by women living with disability - and by the people who love them.

Inika Narayan

Passionate about advocacy and justice law, Inika is a student at UNSW studying a Bachelor of Laws / Commerce. Inika is eager to use her voice to speak up for those who can’t, as well as the broader community.

Representing Zonta International as their Youth Observer at the CSW69. Inika was privileged enough to engage in powerful discussion, attend high-level panels, and hear from leaders about the critical measures’ nations are taking to improve gender disparity.

We are delighted to recognise our Junior School leaders for 2026 and celebrate the important role leadership plays across Year 6.

While we acknowledge our elected student leaders, we also recognise that every Year 6 student is a leader within the Junior School. As the oldest students, they set the tone through their example, demonstrating kindness, responsibility and encouragement in the classroom and playground each day.

We warmly congratulate our Year 6 Leadership Team: Lottie , our Elizabeth Medalist , recognised for her outstanding character and contribution to school life; Neve and Charlotte , our Christian Faith Leaders , who will support the spiritual life of the Junior School; and Nataliya , our Service Leader , who will help guide initiatives that foster compassion and care for others.

We look forward to seeing our Year 6 students embrace their leadership with confidence and purpose, and we thank them for the positive example they set for our community.

Lottie E
Elizabeth Medalist

I am so excited to have the role of Elizabeth Medalist. This year is going to be so much fun, and I cannot wait to make speeches, work with other kids in Year 6 and across the school, and overall making sure everyone is happy in the school.

Coming up this term for sports we will have the Swimming Carnival, and we will also have Cross Country both for girls in Years 3-6. All throughout the playground, I have heard people talking about what they are scared or excited about. It’s natural to feel worried, especially if you are new to Tara. I would like to encourage every girl to think of these carnivals as an OPPORTUNITY (one of Tara’s Values) to participate, be courageous and try something new, and grow their resilience even when it’s hard.

I cannot wait to see everyone there supporting their House.

Go Junior School!

Through Tara, I have also had the opportunity to participate in a range of other public speaking competitions, including Rostrum Voice of Youth, the Festival of Speech, and Lions Youth of the Year. Each of these experiences has helped me develop different facets of public speaking. For example, the prepared speeches have improved my ability to structure arguments while impromptu sections have enhanced my capacity to think of my feet and respond under pressure. Having access to these opportunities at Tara has allowed me to build confidence and become increasingly comfortable presenting in formal settings.

All in all, public speaking has helped me develop many valuable life skills. It has improved my ability to communicate ideas coherently, organize my thoughts logically, and present arguments in a confident manner (even when I start the sentence unsure of where it’s going). These skills have also translated into other areas, particularly debating. Public speaking has also made it easier for me to contribute to class discussions and present academic work with greater assurance. Occasionally I make a point so convincingly I surprise myself!

For anyone interested in public speaking, I would strongly encourage giving it a try! It is an extremely effective way to build confidence and develop communication skills, and these benefits extend far beyond competition. Importantly, it is never too late to start. Public speaking is a skill that improves with practice, and each time you try helps build confidence and ability over time. Even small opportunities can make a meaningful difference, and taking the first step can be the most important part. Overall, it has been a very valuable experience, and I look forward to continuing to develop these skills in the future.

Tara rowers delivered an exceptional performance at last weekend’s regattas, highlighted by the School placing in the top 10 at the IGSA Rowing Regatta—a wonderful achievement that reflects the girls’ dedication, teamwork and commitment throughout the season.

Several crews achieved podium finishes across multiple divisions.

These results are a testament not only to the athletes’ determination on race day, but also to the countless early mornings, training sessions and teamwork that underpin success in rowing. We congratulate all Tara girls who competed and commend them for representing the School with skill, perseverance and pride.

Congratulations to Mia (Year 8), who recently competed at the Carnival Dance Challenge National Finals, a major Australian competition showcasing talented young dancers from across the country.

Competing in the 12 & Under Musical Theatre division, Mia delivered an outstanding performance and was awarded first place in the nation.

We are incredibly proud of her achievement and grateful for the encouragement and training she receives. Well done, Mia!

We are proud to share Victoria’s outstanding achievements over the summer break in the highly competitive 420 dinghy class - a double-handed, high-performance racing boat sailed internationally.

In December, Victoria (Year 10) and her partner placed 2nd Overall and were crowned 1st Female Champions at the 2026 420 State Championships, building strong momentum ahead of Nationals.

From 19–23 January 2026, they competed at the 420 Australian Championships held at Albury-Wodonga Sailing Club. The regatta also served as the selection event for the 2026 Youth Sailing World Championships in Vilamoura, Portugal.

Victoria and her partner delivered an exceptional performance, securing:

As a result of these achievements, they have been selected to represent Australia at the 2026 Youth Sailing World Championships - an incredible honour.

We are proud to celebrate the recent sporting achievements of Chelsea (Year 9) and Bella (Year 8).

Representing the Castle Hill RSL Dolphins, the girls competed in the 14–15 years 5km event at the 2026 Australian Open Water Championships, held in Perth, WA.

Competing against some of the strongest swimmers in the country, Chelsea and Bella achieved outstanding results, finishing 21st and 22nd respectively in their age group.

Their performance reflects the dedication, resilience and commitment to excellence that we are proud to see in our Tara students. Congratulations to both girls on this fantastic achievement!

I’m thrilled to be joining the Tara community as the Senior School Head of Sport. I come from a background as a PDHPE teacher and Head of Girls’ Sport, and I’ve been lucky enough to coach across Rugby, Rugby League, and Basketball—three sports I also played whilst at school! I am also currently the assistant coach of the NSWCIS u18 Rugby League side.

I’m passionate about all things sport and wellbeing, especially cricket and distance running, which are personal favourites of mine. Fun fact - I'm currently training for a 100km ultramarathon!

I’m really looking forward to getting to know the Tara community and have already had the pleasure of meeting so many of you. My goal is to celebrate the strengths of our students and working together with the community to create an exciting and inspiring future for sport at Tara.

Being back at Tara is very much a full-circle moment for me. As a proud Tara old girl, I am delighted to be back serving this school community as the new Head of Sport- Junior School.

My background is in primary education, and I have previously worked as a Classroom Teacher, PDHPE Specialist Teacher, House Coordinator, Master In Charge of Rugby and K-2 Sports Coordinator.

My favourite sports are water polo, skiing and rugby union. I have been blessed over the years to play, coach and referee sport at a state and national level. In my spare time, I love to go swimming with my one-year-old son, take my bordoodle puppy for walks and watch musicals. As a former ski instructor, I have also been enjoying the Winter Olympics and supporting our Australian athletes at Milano Cortina.

I very much look forward to meeting everyone and cheering on our girls from the sidelines at Saturday Sport!
