Tegan was educated in Canberra starting at Fadden Pre-School in 1996 followed by Fadden Primary School from Kindergarten to Year 6 (1997-2003) and then Mackillop Catholic College from Year 7 to Year 11 (2004-2008).

At each school, Tegan excelled in many sports picking up numerous awards like the award for being the junior, intermediate and senior athletics and cross country champion at Fadden Primary and the Sports Woman of the year award in Year 10 at Mackillop College.

At Fadden Primary School, Tegan was a Sports Leader and Captain of the Kangaroos Sports House. She also was part of the School band first learning to play the trumpet and then mastering the French horn.

Although Tegan was considered an average student academically when finishing Primary School (apart from Sport of course!), her grades soon improved at Mackillop College with her 2007 Year 10 Certificate showing the top grade of ‘Outstanding Achievement’ in Food Studies and Physical Education and Health. As Tegan loved sport and loved eating, these results came as no surprise to those who knew her well! She was also awarded the second highest grade of ‘High Achievement’ in Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, SOSE, Visual Arts and Photography.
