Friends of Equestrian
On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 April, Tintern Grammar hosted the annual Tintern Grammar Horse Trials at Shirley Heights Equestrian Centre, Gladysdale. The event, sponsored by Rowville Horse Trailers, unfolded under perfect weather conditions, setting the stage for a thrilling showcase of equestrian talent. Saturday saw the culmination of the combined training events, dressage and show jumping and the cross-country event took place on Sunday.
With over 130 entrants in the competition from a wide variety of schools, it was extremely competitive throughout the weekend. Tintern Grammar had four students riding in the event:
Amelia Baines
Riding Inmotion, placed 12th in the EV 65 unofficial class.
Grace Baines
Riding Coral de Derrinal, in the EV 65 unofficial class, was unfortunately eliminated in the cross-country event due to a fall.
Aisha Heinrich
Placed 2nd in the EV65 combined training on her horse, Bertone,
Madeleine Jennings
Riding Sealgaire (OTT), placed 4th in the EV50 combined training.
Thank you to the Friends of Equestrian Committee, Di Lacey, Ildi Varga and the officials for their hard work and assistance to ensure that the event ran smoothly.

Parent Representatives 2024
Feel free to reach out to your Parent Representatives who liaise between parents/guardians and the School. They inform parents about activities planned either by Tintern Grammar, our community groups or within the class or year level, such as social gatherings, fundraisers or events. Parent Representatives also organise class or year level functions to provide parents with the opportunity of meeting and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. It is a great opportunity for class groups to connect, while supporting our local community cafes and restaurants. Year levels and classes can have one or many representatives and many hands make light work!
If you are interested in being a Parent Representative, please contact the Community Relations Office on 9845 7877 or by email on communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au
Tintern Parents Group (TPG)
There are so many ways to get involved with the TPG with multiple events and opportunities to participate in throughout the year. Even if you are not available on a Thursday night, many of our events are organised by subcommittees led by an experienced TPG member, which meet on other days. This enables flexibility for parents who may not always be available on a Thursday and/or want to get involved in specific events. Choose what suits you best. No effort is too small!
All are welcome at TPG meetings and we look forward to meeting you. If you are interested in more information, or would like a new membership form, please email us.
