Tintern Grammar Fair 22 April 2017
The Tintern Fair Committee are keen to hear from any members of our community who may be able to help with the following.
Raffle Prizes
- Our Major Raffle generally has 4 to 5 prizes, ranging anywhere from $500 to a first prize valued around $10,000.
- Some ideas might be House appliance packages, holiday destinations, or maybe you can offer a great deal on a new car?
- Participating donators receive exposure to our entire school community and beyond
Sponsorship
- Sponsorship makes a great advertising opportunity for your business!
- We offer a range of levels of sponsorship, with sponsors receiving recognition of their contribution in a variety of ways.
- The earlier sponsorship is received, the longer we can promote your business for!
Stall Coordinators
- Were you a wonderful Stall Coordinator last time and are keen to put your skills to work again?
- Do you have a specific stall you would like to lead?
- Are you eager to role model to your children that we can all make a difference?
- The primary responsibility of a Stall Coordinator is to put together a roster of helpers for Fair Day.
- Each Stall Coordinator receives an information pack to help them
- You will be helping to make our Fair Day a huge success. Thankyou!
If you can help in any of these ways, or perhaps with other ideas, please get in contact with our Fair Committee via email to Fair@Tintern.vic.edu.au or call our Fair Convenor, Amanda McKenzie on 0419 313 279.
Fair Logo Competition
2017 Fair Logo
COMPETITION
The Tintern Grammar Fair Committee is offering a $50 Cash Prize for the student who designs the best logo for the 2017 Tintern Grammar Fair. All students are invited and encouraged to submit their logo design(s). The closing date for the competition is Wednesday 31 August 2016. The hand drawn or computer generated logo should be eye-catching, uncluttered, and must include the following information:
- The words “Tintern Grammar” & “Fair”
- The date “22 APRIL 2017”
- A reference to Tintern celebrating 140 years
Keep in mind the logo will be printed in various sizes from as small as 3cm diameter to as large as 20cm diameter, so scalability of design will be a consideration.
Designs should be submitted to the Fair Committee:
With File Format JPG, PNG or BMP
In a CIRCULAR shape
Of Approximate Resolution 1000x1000pixels
Sent by Email to fair@tintern.vic.edu.au

Fancy owning a piece of Tintern’s Musical History?
We are continuing to collect expressions of interest for our decommissioned Tintern and Southwood Music Banners. There are a limited number of banners (approximately 30 of each) available at a cost of $50 each. All funds raised will go to the Tintern Grammar Friends of Music who, in turn, support the ongoing work of the Music Departments across the school. Expressions of Interest (EOI) are called for the purchase of these items. EOI close on 16 September. Should EOI outnumber the banners available, a ballot draw of successful bidders will be held at the Friends of Music Meeting on 11 October and successful bidders will be contacted and published in ‘Aspectus’ and on the School portal. To lodge your EOI, please email the Community Relations Office communityrelations@tintern.vic.edu.au, giving your name and contact details, and nominating which banner you would like to purchase (Tintern or Southwood). All Expressions of Interest inquiries to 9845 7877.
