House Athletics Carnival
On Thursday 18 April, Tintern Grammar held the annual Years 7-12 House Athletics Carnival at Proclamation Park in Ringwood.

EISM Division 2 Athletics Carnival
On Tuesday 30 April, Tintern Grammar competed in the EISM Division 2 Athletics Carnival at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park. On a cool and overcast day our students competed to the best of their abilities against some strong opposition. The scores remained extremely close at the top of the leaderboard with Tintern Grammar and Kingswood constantly swapping places in first and second place throughout the day. It came down to the relay races at the end of the carnival, with Tintern and Kingswood still very close on the scoreboard. There was a dramatic finish with Tintern dropping a baton in one relay and winning another before being disqualified. This ensured a nervous wait for the students and staff whilst the results were being finalised. Congratulations to the U/13 Boys and the U/15 girls who won their age groups. Congratulations to the Girls who won the trophy for the Girls competition. Congratulations to all Tintern Grammar students as we were crowned EISM Athletics Division 2 Champions for 2024 by 15 points. Thank you to Ms Edgley, Ms Crundall, Ms Thomas, Ms Ord, and Mrs Jurey for all of their assistance on the day. Thank you to our coaches from Elite Wellbeing who prepared our athletes so well for the carnival.
