The school presents separate Junior School, Senior School and Boarding House sections, and its boarding is described as “a home away from home.” Boarders are cared for in a family friendly atmosphere where everyone is known, and the school values the commitment, ability and exceptional contribution that boarders bring to school life. The boarding house, Eggleton House, is highlighted as part of that community, and the school’s messaging suggests a setting where girls live, learn and lead together.

What makes Tara distinctive is the combination of its Anglican identity, non-selective admissions, IB pathway and strong cocurricular culture. The school appears well suited to families looking for a girls’ education from the early years through Year 12, with both day and boarding options, in a community that balances academic nurture with service, sport and the arts. It may also appeal to families who value a school with a clear Christian purpose and a structured pathway that includes the PYP, MYP and, from 2027, the option of the Diploma Programme or HSC.
