Lucinda Brownlow Class

Of 2015

My favourite memories of Tara included School sports, carnivals, the musicals, the dedicated and compassionate teachers and making lifelong friendships.

Further Study

After school I went on to study a Bachelor of Education Early Childhood and Primary.

Career

I started working at Tara Before and After School Care in Year 12, 2015. Whilst at University I continued to work there casually.

After graduating from University I went and taught at many schools around the area and continued to work at Tara in the holidays at Vacation Care.

When Barbara Edge asked me if I would be interested in taking on the role of Director of the Centre I was very excited and appreciative of the opportunity.

Barbara was a fantastic role model and taught me so many valuable lessons. I started my new role in August 2022 and that is where I am today.

My late Grandmother Shirley Brownlow taught in the Tara Junior School for many years and I know that she would be very proud of what I am doing now.

Life Highlights

I got engaged in Santorini in June last year and spent several months travelling Europe with my Fiancé Nick.

I have been busy planning my wedding for December this year. One of my bridesmaids is one of my best friends from Year 7 at Tara.

Tara organised a Garden Party on 22 October, 2022 that was attended by Alumni, past staff, and past parents. The event was a delightful afternoon of reconnecting with old friends and reminiscing about the rich history of Tara over the last 125 years. Mrs Michelle Kay-Browning, Tara’s Chaplain, began the afternoon with a Chapel Service, emphasising the importance of ‘Words to Live By’. The guests were served a scrumptious afternoon tea in the Senior School Colonnade, where they had the opportunity to explore Archive displays, historical images, listen to stories shared by Alumni, past parents, and past staff, and take a self-guided tour of the School. It was a memorable afternoon of celebration and nostalgia, marking a significant milestone in Tara’s 125th year! We hope you enjoy these photos from the Garden Party.
