Tintern Grammar Interschool Horse Trials

On Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May Tintern Grammar held the annual Tintern Grammar Interschool Horse Trials event at Wandin Park. With over 200 riders competing from more than 60 schools there was strong competition in the dressage, show jumping and cross-country events. Saturday’s events consisted of the dressage and show jumping whilst Sunday’s events were show jumping and the cross country. The event ran very smoothly and included a moving dawn service on Sunday morning to commemorate ANZAC Day where schools laid wreaths at the flagpole. Tintern Grammar had some excellent results throughout the weekend in different classes.

Volleyball School Cup 

Last week our Volleyball teams competed in the State Volleyball School Cup at the State Volleyball Centre.

 

Basketball 

On Tuesday 27 April,  the Senior Boys Basketball Team participated in a 3X3 basketball tournament.

This is a new style of game, that is fast paced and very physical.

It was a tough competition, but the students played very well and won the majority of their games.
