Friends of Young Farmers (FOYF) – An invitation to new members

We would like to invite new members to join and support the activities of our Tintern Young Farmers and the Tinternwood Farm. Our AGM is Monday 4 April 2022 at 7.30pm and we would love any interested parents/friends to take this opportunity to meet us and consider joining our committee. Our meeting is held both onsite in the CM Wood Common Room, as well as online via Zoom by selecting online here.

Friends of Young Farmers are parents, friends, ex-students and like-minded people who come together to support students interested in the Tinternwood Farm and to promote the farm itself. It is a relaxed and friendly community group formed in 2012 who come together to:

• Support the teaching staff and students in the Young Farmers’ program
• Actively fundraise to support the Young Farmers’ program and the farming requirements of the school.

• Support the farm by coordinating working bees, activities or Farm events.
• Support each other by attending ‘getting to know you’ events.

We very grateful for the ongoing support of the families on our Friends of Young Farmers Committee and look forward to welcoming new members. If you are interested in assisting with events, but unable to attend meetings, or would like further information or to join the committee please contact foyf@tintern.vic.edu.au.
