The Debaters Association Victoria (DAV) schools de

The Debaters Association Victoria (DAV) schools debating competition is a co-curricular activity for secondary students. It is the largest English speaking Debating Competition in the world, with over 250 schools competing and 1500 teams. We are proud to support our student's skills of debating by being a Host School.

We have 7 teams in 2023 who recently competed in Round 1 on 8 March. Our C Grade (Year 10) and two of our D Grade (Year 9) teams won this first round. We also celebrated two best speakers in their debates. Our A Grade (Year 12) and B Grade (Year 11) and two D grade teams were defeated by a narrow margin.

We look forward to our next debate when the topics will range from ‘That Uranium mining in Australia should be banned’ to ‘That we regret the rise of artificial intelligence’.

As part of Tintern’s celebration of Internationa

As part of Tintern’s celebration of International Women’s Day a group of our Year 11 and 12 girls participated in Rockets & Rovers: Women in STEM event at Monash University. With the guidance of the Monash High Powered Rockery (HPR) team, the girls built their own space rocket and then tested their design on a launch pad powered by an air compressor. One of our team managed to launch their rocket into the air conditioning – an impressive feat!

The girls then travelled across campus to explore the robotics and engineering options available at Monash. In teams of two, they built their own robot using an Arduino PCB and breadboard. After lots of wire checking and tracing, all robots hit the ground running. Many thanks to the Monash chapter of Robogals, a student run global organisation started in 2008 to inspire students to pursue engineering through engaging workshops.

Today at lunchtime Year 8 student Seth bravely shaved his hair off for the World's Greatest Shave, raising money for the Leukaemia Foundation. This is a big change for Seth, as he had long hair and with this, he was able to double his gift giving by donating his locks of hair to Sustainable Salon's Ponytail Donation. His hair will be used to make wigs, to change the life of people suffering from medically induced hair loss.

Please support his fundraising to the Leukaemia Foundation:
