Community Fun Day
Despite the uncertainty of the (typical Melbourne) weather, the Community Fun Day was a wonderful success. Focused on bringing our Community back together after a tumultuous two and half years, we were grateful for the support of everyone who braved the threat of rain, and came along to enjoy the incredible musical performances, delicious food and fun activities. There was a wonderful community vibe in the air, and it was evident everyone was enjoying themselves.
This event could not have gone ahead without the incredibly hard work of our dedicated Volunteers. The Tintern Parent Group not only organised, they also funded, this day to provide an opportunity for connection at Tintern.
Thank you to the incredible TPG Sub-Committee volunteers; Michele Brooks, Trina Meddings, Haidee Wallace, Colin Wain and Josephine Di Felice, who worked tirelessly to envision and organise this amazing day.
A thank you to the many Tintern staff and students who also supported the day. A special thank you also to Music, Library, Facilities, Friends of Music, Community Relations and the Marketing Teams who were instrumental in the operation of this event.

Interested in taking on the role of Parent Representative?
Wanting to continue as Parent Rep for your 2023 Class or Year Level?
Parent Representatives are a liaison between parents/guardians and the school. Informing parents about activities planned either by Tintern, our community groups or within the class or year level, such as fundraisers or social events.
Parent Reps also organise class or year level functions to provide parents with the opportunity of meeting and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere.

We greatly appreciate the time and commitment given by our Parent Reps. This role is suitable for Parents or Guardians who are in the workforce or who undertake home responsibilities. It can be shared between many people, or looked after by one person.
A special thank you to our wonderful team of Parent Representatives from 2022. We greatly appreciated your support of our events and fundraisers throughout 2022.
If you would like to volunteer to be your Year Level’s Parent Representative in 2023, would like further information, or happy to continue in your current role, contact us by email communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au or by phone 03 9845 7877.
