We are very excited for our upcoming Annual Presentation Ball on Saturday 9 September at The Centre, Ivanhoe.
Our Year 11 Presentees and their partners have been hard at work learning their dances and preparing for this enchanted evening.
Guest tickets close today, Tuesday 3 August, and can be purchased online here.
Thank you to the incredible Volunteers, led by Josie Ryan, who have made this wonderful night possible.
We are seeking additional helpers in the afternoon and evening, if you can assist please contact Josie by email.
On Thursday evening, 13 July, dance classes commenced for all students participating in this year’s Presentation Ball to be held on Saturday, 9 September 2023 at The Ivanhoe Centre. Presided over by Cathy Saisi, a professional dance teacher who has taught several of our presentees for past balls and is currently a staff member in the Junior School, the first class was a tremendous success and the successive classes are sure to be just as much fun as this one was.
TPG Trivia Night 2023
Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets for the TPG Trivia Night last Saturday. It was an incredible evening, led by Adam Kenny, Quiz Master extraordinaire, and managed by an amazing team of Volunteers from the Tintern Parent Group. It was a festive atmosphere, with so many amazing costumes shown in the images below.
The winner of the best table theme was the Boys’ Junior School Teachers Table and their Barbie theme. The overall Triva winner was Danielle Clarks “Google is our Friend But Not Tonight” Table.
A special thank you on behalf of the school to the hardworking members of the TPG who made this night possible; Sally Robinson, Josephine Di Felice and Trina Meddings, whose time and dedication were integral to the success of this special annual event.
A final thank you to the Green Team and Social Justice Group, who organised a fantastic Silent Auction.
Thank you also to Adam Kenny, who once again led an incredible 5 rounds of Trivia and many wonderful special activities and games, including Tintern’s Got Talent (and there was some amazing talent!).
A special thank you to the companies and Tintern families who donated to the Trivia Night Raffle:
