Mrs Taryn Maconochie

Departmental Head (Foundation Phase)

Children are unique, each with their own way of learning, exploring and experiencing the world. Education should be a journey that sparks curiosity and fosters a love for learning. Mrs Mac's motto is simple; when children love school, they thrive. By creating an environment where they feel excited, supported and inspired, we can help them build a lifelong passion for education.

A learner who loves school approaches challenges with enthusiasm, grows in confidence and develops the skills needed to succeed.

When children find joy in learning, their potential is limitless.
