Deciding whether or not to send your child to early learning is one of a parent’s most important considerations, especially at this time of the year.

‘Some of the most important lessons were what they got wrong. It’s about being able to take risks and learn.’ says Head of Tay Creggan, Mrs
Karyn Murray in an interview about our leading Year 9 program.
