Parent Representatives 2022

Thank you to Ivon Tio, who organised a Coffee Morning Tea for the Prep A families at Juliette Coffee and Bread in Ringwood East. If you would like to share photos from a Class catch up, please email communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au.

Thank you to the many parents and guardians who have volunteered to act as the Parent Representatives for their Class or Year Level in 2022:

Please note that some of the Class and Year Level representative are still in the process of being finalised, and this list will be updated on the Portal.

Parent Representative are a liaison between parents/guardians and the school. Informing parents about activities planned either by Tintern, our community groups or within the class or year level, such as fundraisers or events. We greatly appreciate the time and commitment given by our Parent Reps.

Parent Reps 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 still recovering from the lockdowns.

If you would like to volunteer to be your Year Level’s Parent Representative or would like further information contact us by email communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au or by phone 03 9845 7877.

Unfortunately, due to the new AFLW timing, we have missed the start of the season. We are incredibly disappointed, but we are unable to run a fair and equitable tipping competition for AFLW in 2022. Please note we will ensure the Tipping competition commences prior to the start of the 2023 AFLW season.

Cash Prizes awarded for the winners of the AFL Tipping Competition:

AFL Footy Tipping Prizes:

• 1st Prize $250
• 2nd Prize $120
• 3rd Prize $60
• 4th Prize $40
• 5th Prize $20

If the AFL season is shortened at a later date due to Covid, the tipping competition will continue, but the prizes will be adjusted accordingly. 

Good luck and start tipping!!
