3D Keyrings – Community Fun Day Creations
The 3D printer has been busier than usual over the past week. It has been printing keyrings made by families from the workshop from our recent Tintern Community Day.
We have such creative people at Tintern, pictured are some of the keyrings made. At the workshop, families were led by Sue Healey (Director of Information & Technology Services) in the use of Tinkercad to design a personalised keyring. It has been fun seeing the creations come to life from the screen to its 3D form.
All keyrings are now ready for collection from the library.
Interested in taking on the role of Parent Representative?
Wanting to continue as Parent Rep for your 2023 Class or Year Level?
Parent Representatives 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 social events.
Parent Reps also organise class or year level functions to provide parents with the opportunity of meeting and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. It would be a great opportunity for class groups to connect, while supporting our local community cafes and restaurants still recovering from the lockdowns.
We greatly appreciate the time and commitment given by our Parent Reps. This role is suitable for Parents or Guardians who are in the workforce or who undertake home responsibilities. It can be shared between many people, or looked after by one person.
A special thank you to our wonderful team of Parent Representatives from 2022. We greatly appreciated your support of our events and fundraisers throughout 2022.
If you would like to volunteer to be your Year Level’s Parent Representative in 2023, would like further information, or happy to continue in your current role, contact us by email communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au or by phone 03 9845 7877.
Reunion Festival
We were excited to once again host our annual Reunion Festival. It was incredible to see everyone together onsite once again after a two year break.
Welcoming groups from the Class of 2002, 1997, 1992, 1987, 1982 and 1977, there was a festive atmosphere as our past students reconnected with the school and each other.
A highlight was the student led tours around the campus. Though many things had changed, our guests found their memories ignited of their own times at Tintern. Thank you to our incredible tour guides from years 8 to 10, who gave up their time on a Saturday evening to show our Alumni around the school.
Thank you to the incredible Volunteers who also gave their time and expertise to the Reunions- TOGA President Carol Robertson (Hogan Class of 1980), Archive Volunteer Lynne Franke (Bernadou Class of 1958), TGA President Emily Mignot (Class of 2012) and TGA Committee Member Eliza Mignot (Class of 2017).
We were also joined by some of our incredible past staff, who enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with their former students. A wonderful afternoon was enjoyed by all.
