Career’s Night 2023

We were very excited to welcome 45 Alumni back to Tintern on Thursday 18 May for our Career’s Night.

It had been 5 years since our last Career’s Night, thanks to lockdowns and restrictions, and we were grateful to have some of the previous Career Mentors return, along with others who attended for the first time.

Our current students from Years 9 to 12, along with their families, were able to pre book a time slot to speak with our Mentors, who shared their wisdom, experience and expertise. Our students left energised and excited for their own Career Journeys.

We would love feedback from both the students and parents who attended the night. If you attended the night, it would be wonderful if you could spend 5 minutes completing this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TYBSJLW 

A special thank you to the incredible Alumni who volunteered their time to support this wonderful evening. We had a wide range of industries, roles and pathways represented, and you offered valuable insight to our students.

We will continue to offer this valuable event for our Community every second year.

If you’d like to speak with groups of students outside of the Career’s Night, please get in touch with Di Lacey in the Community Relations Office by phone to 9845 7877 or email communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au.

There was an amazing array of gifts for the students to purchase and funds were raised which will be given back to the Tintern Community. We are sure many Mums, Nanas and other special women in our students lives, got to enjoy their gifts on Mother’s Day.

Thank you to Danielle Kelberg, who organised the Mother’s Day Stall, and Haidee Wallace, who also assisted with the organisation. We greatly appreciate all the work you did!
