About
Tangara Shield
Tangara Shield
- The Shield, an oval shape, displays a towering gum against a midnight sky.
- The eucalypt, which invariably grows straight and stands tall, symbolises for us the way in which our children must grow – AD SUMMAM VIRTUTEM – “Towards the fullness of virtue”.
- The tree has many leaves “so that all birds can come and settle in its branches”. No one is to be excluded from the honest pursuit of the true and the good.
- Although a robust specimen, the tree is alone, the first to grow in the rich, red earth where there is still much to be done. Society awaits the sowing of the good seed of real knowledge and wisdom to fill the arid waste of ignorance. The sincere practise of virtue aided by faith promises a harvest of many good people capable of changing things for the better.
- The land is Australia, and the time is now, the eve of a new era. The Southern Cross which alone illuminates the sparse landscape is amid the darkness, like that other Cross, a sure and saving guide.

Houses
Our four sporting Houses take their names from places synonymous with great and noble deeds. All of our animal ‘mascots’ can be found in Christian literature.
 | Siena Birthplace and bastion of Catherine, the unrivalled peacemaker warrior saint. Symbol: the phoenix, an indestructible creature which “rises from the ashes” with renewed energy. Colour: the TERRACOTTA of Catherine’s fortress city. |
 | Atlantis The fabled lost, perfect civilisation of antiquity. Symbol: the dolphin, a gentle yet strong creature of the sea. Colour: AQUAMARINE BLUE, for the waters in which Atlantis is thought to lie. |
 | La Mancha From whence the man who would “run where the brave dare not go”. Symbol: the griffin, king of all creatures, is known for its courage and boldness. Colour: SILVER, for the formidable sword and shield of the “Man of La Mancha”. |
 | Tintagel Where it is believed King Arthur was born, and where he may have first formed the Knights of the Round Table and pursued the dream of “might for right”. Symbol: the unicorn, a Medieval horned horse known for its swiftness and strength. Colour: FOREST GREEN, for the giant sentinels in the woods surrounding the court of the mighty Arthur Pendragon. |
Sports
Sports
One of the aims of physical education at Tangara is to promote participation in sport for all students. Students in Year 3 to Year 10 are expected to participate in at least one semester of sport for a year for Tangara. Sport is important for our girls because it promotes physical and mental health. It is also an effective means of developing character through virtue:
charity is putting others before ourselves; persistence can be learnt through training;
humility must be part of victory;
moderation is to be in control of our passions and having self-mastery;
sacrifice is learnt through teamwork;
good-sportsmanship is treating others with dignity and respect.
- Students can deepen friendships with peers, parents and staff through participation in sport.
