The Story
Brenda’s first memories were of growing up in a loving white foster family, before she was suddenly taken away and returned to her Aboriginal family.
Decades later, she feels disconnected from both halves of her life. But the traumas of her past do not lie quietly buried. So, she goes searching for the foster family with whom she had lost all contact.
Along the way she uncovers long-buried secrets, government lies, and the possibility for deeper connections to family and culture. The Last Daughter is a documentary about Brenda’s journey to unearth the truth about her past, and to reconcile the two sides of her family.
Find out more and book online here.
Tintern Giving Day
We are humbled by the Tintern community, to witness the depth of generosity on Giving Day 2023.
We smashed our initial goal of $80,000 and together we have raised more than $100,000.
While donations are no longer doubled, we are still accepting donations via our Giving Day page until next Thursday 15 June.
An event like this would not have been possible without the generous support of our Community. A special thank you to:
- The Volunteers who worked in our Call Centre, which include current and past parents, Alumni, Staff, Executive and Board members. Your willingness to give your own time to support our Giving Day, and your enthusiasm and kindness when contacting our Community, were greatly appreciated.
- To our talented Music students who kicked off the day with incredible performances at the Bus Bay, thank you.
- Thank you to our ELC students and families, who supported a coin trail throughout the week.
- Thank you also to our Junior School students, who came in on Thursday jiggling with coins and completed our token trail (pictured below). And congratulations to Mansfield/McKie, who won the competition!
- To the staff and students who managed and supported the BBQ on the day, thank you for the time you gave to look after this; it is hard to resist the smell of a cooking sausage!
- Thank you to the Tintern staff who helped organise the many different parts that made up our Giving Day. We couldn’t begin to name them all individually, but we thank you all! Staff from Music, ELC, Junior School, Middle and Secondary, Executive, Cafe, Facilites and General Staff, thank you for your support.
- And finally to every person who made a donation, thank you! We received over 340 people donate to our Giving Day, and we are truly humbled by the generosity of our Community. Together we have raised funds that will make a difference in a young person’s life, a person who may not otherwise be able to attend Tintern.
