Tintern Parents Group
There are so many ways to get involved with the Tintern Parents Group (TPG) with multiple events and opportunities to participate in throughout the year. Even if you are not available on a Thursday night, many of our events are organised by subcommittees led by an experienced TPG member, which meet on other days. This enables flexibility for parents who may not always be available on a Thursday and/or want to get involved in specific events. Choose what suits you best. No effort is too small!
All are welcome at TPG meetings and we look forward to meeting you. If you are interested in more information, or would like a new membership form, please email us.

TPG Trivia Night
It was Saturday Night Fever at Tintern Grammar on Saturday 20 July when the Tintern Parents Group held the annual Tintern Grammar Trivia Night.
In a packed room our community got into the vibe of the night dressing in the 70s disco theme. The TPG did an amazing job in accumulating Silent Auction and Raffle prizes, and we will find out the final fundraising amount later this week. We thank Mr Kenny who was our host, his cryptic questions and hilarious activities kept us thinking and laughing all night. What a wonderful community evening!
A special thank you to all the Tintern families and our local community businesses who donated to the Trivia Night Raffles and prizes:

TPG Presentation Ball
We are very excited for our upcoming annual Presentation Ball on Saturday 14 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.
Presided over by Cathy Saisi, a professional dance teacher who has previously taught our students for past balls and she is also a currently staff member in the Junior School, the first class was a tremendous success and it’ll be a fun time learning all of the dances.
Guest tickets are now open and close on Thursday 8 August, and can be purchased online here.
Thank you to the incredible TPG Volunteers, led by Sherie Vicary- Carter, who have made this wonderful night possible.
We are seeking additional helpers in the afternoon and evening, if you can assist, please email Sherie.
Parent Representatives 2024
Feel free to reach out to your Parent Representatives who liaise between parents/guardians and the School and inform parents about activities planned either by Tintern Grammar, our community groups or within the class or year level, such as social gatherings, fundraisers or events. Parent Representatives 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. Year levels and classes can have one or many representatives and many hands make light work!
If you are interested in being a Parent Representative, please contact the Community Relations Office on 9845 7877 email Community Relations
