Expos & Regional Community Dinner In May 2017 Tara’s Principal, Susan Middlebrook, hosted theRegional Community Dinner in Dubbo with 25 guests, including Old Girls, Past Parents as well as current boarding families. Mrs Claire Redfearn, past Director of Boarding also attended to reminisce with everyone. We enjoyed listening to all the boarder stories and hearing how much boarding at Tara has changed over the years. We plan to make our regional community events an annual affair to visit with our community. Tara staff welcomed many inquiring families at several expos this year. We visited Dubbo for the Boarding Schools’ Expo as well as the Hill’s Schools’ Expo in Castle Hill.
Junior School Family Picnic The Junior School Family Picnic was a fabulous afternoon of friends, conversation and fun held on the 29 April 2017. The weather was beautiful and added to the atmosphere for all our Tara families. Thank you to the Junior School families who attended. You make our community what it is and the day would not be possible without your participation. Thank you to Jen Van Cleef and Tanya Zlatanovic for their coordination of the Year 4 parent volunteers and all the activities.
Mother Daughter High Tea 200 guests enjoyed a wonderful afternoon on Saturday 9 September for the Mother and Daughter High Tea in the Senior School Hall. The hall was transformed with a beautiful setting of silver service with lovely crockery and delicious high tea delights on stands. There was lots of chatter and friendships being forged. The mothers and daughters sipped on many cups of tea and enjoyed participating in the excitement of the raffle draws. 24
