Welcome to Tarbet's Website!
Time travel: noun
the concept of moving between different moments in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to a moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate).

Vision Mission Goal
Vision: To be a team of tenacious individuals working together to become a people of all-round excellence.
Mission: To inspire every Tarbetian to embody the 4Ts – team-spirit, trustworthiness, tenacity and togetherness.
Goal: To achieve the best that we can through exemplifying the 4Ts.
Theme
With each new year dawns a new era, and with the arrival of 2009, Tarbet aims to explore new frontiers as time-travellers! Time-travellers have the power to visit the past, present and future. Likewise, Tarbet consists of them all, and aims to keep in balance all three aspects. Armed with a rich heritage and history, we will constantly strive to soar to greater heights while constantly adapting to the changes and uncertainty that the future might throw our way. As a united house, we will overcome the obstacles that we might encounter as pioneers and time-travellers. We Tarbetians will bring about a whole new dimension to the words “Tarbet House” with our passion and tenacity!
Mascot
Axl the Bull - Axl the faithful and friendly bull epitomizes the flaming hot Tarbetian spirit, filled with ceaseless zest, stupendous strength and fervid passion.
History
Miss Tarbet (1904-1910): Realising that the girls themselves could become admirable teachers, she pushed for the start of a training establishment that Miss Hale Johnson’s Committee had suggested in 1902. Trained teachers from this establishment could not only teach in the girls’ school but also the primary school for the boys as well.
Our Hope for All Tarbetians
Every Tarbetian will understand and learn the importance of building house spirit and keeping the values expected of her in the house: enthusiasm (the red-hot passion for the house!), motivation, desire to stretch oneself to realize one’s full potential, integrity and fair play.
The House and The School
Of the 4Ps in the school, the house system embodies “Passionate” the most. However, we hope that our 4Ts for Tarbet (Tenacity, Teamwork, Trust and Togetherness) will help each and every Tarbetian achieve all 4Ps of the school.
House Committee
The House Committee leaders are given opportunities to hone their leadership skills – management, organization and communication, as well as the ability to recognize areas of weaknesses and improve on them. They are opportunities to encourage the heart and challenge it in the process.
