TPG Mango Drive 2021 – Orders Close this Friday 29 October
We have Fresh North Queensland Mangoes delivered direct from the farm to Tintern Grammar, ready for collection. Mangoes should arrive at school late November. Once we have a confirmed date, we will be in touch to arrange a drive through collection time.
Cost is only $20 per tray, filled by weight of approximately 4.5kgs, which will contain a mix of the equivalent of either 8 large mangoes or 14 small ones.
Please note that due to the unprecedented crop failure of Kensington Pride Mangoes this year, the trays are smaller than previous years and have been reduced in price accordingly.
Place your order today, as quantities are strictly limited!
Orders are open until the 29 October 2021, unless sold out prior.

Community Christmas Luncheon
Tintern Grammar Alumni’s Year 12 Care packages
The TGA (Tintern Grammar Alumni) recently provided care packages to support the year 12 students in preparation for their final exams after what has been an extremely challenging couple of years.
The TGA committee are passionate about bringing current students, alumni and the wider school community together in all that we do. As a way of supporting the wider school community as well as the Year 12s, we invited businesses in the Tintern Grammar community to include items in these care packages. We were blown away by the generosity of the individuals and businesses who enthusiastically donated various products to help the students de-stress, smile and find the motivation for their final exams.
The bags contained a range of goodies including: a stress ball, cookie, bamboo cutlery, a colouring book, Warrior Princess by alumna Belinda Collins (YG 1991), clay resin magnet/bookmark, highlighters, fun socks, hand sanitiser, hand cream, a custom reusable face mask, lollies/chocolate and many more items to support our Year 12 students.
The custom reusable face masks in the care packages included a design from one of the Year 12 Visual Arts students- a special memento for the Year 12 group.
We sincerely thank the many alumni and current families who donated towards these packages. We’d particularly like to note the businesses in our school community who generously supported the TGA’s project, we greatly appreciate your generosity:
