EISM Division 1 Swimming Carnival
On Tuesday 12 March, Tintern Grammar competed in the annual EISM Division 1 Swimming Carnival at MSAC. Students had been training well in the lead up to the event, with training sessions well attended throughout Term 4 2023 and Term 1 2024. This year, the event was held during the day in the indoor pool. Our students were extremely competitive throughout the carnival and had some outstanding relay and individual results on the day. The atmosphere during the carnival was competitive but fun and the students supported their fellow swimmers very well. Congratulations to U/14 girls and U/16 girls who won their age groups on the day. Congratulations to the girls who finished second overall in the girls’ competition. Thank you to Mrs Jurey, Ms Ord, Ms Edgley, Ms Thomas, and Ms Crundall for their assistance on the night. Thank you to our swimming coach Graeme Stephenson for all his hard work preparing the students and the team for the carnival throughout the year.

Tasmania LC Championships
We congratulate Year 11 student Jin Shenghao, Year 10 student Harry Luo and Year 8 student Weylen Truong, who recently competed in the LC Championships in Tasmania.
The event ran as heats, with a finals format where the top 16 make it to the afternoon finals session (A and B finals). There was a two-visitor rule in place meaning there could only be two Victorians in the A final and two in the B final. Even if the time in the B finals were in the top three, no medals were handed out. The competition ran for four days with heats starting at 9.00am and finals starting at 5.00pm. Overall a fun experience.
