Chapter Reunions
In celebration of 140 years of Tintern we were proud to host two wonderful Chapter Reunions for interstate Alumni.
The first was held on Saturday 12 August in Brisbane. Hosted at the Hilton guests enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with their school and meet other Alumni living in Queensland.
Many of our Alumni living in New South Wales were also excited to attend the Sydney Chapter Reunion, held at the Otto Restaurant in Sydney on Sunday 13 August. Guests were able to reminisce about their time at Tintern whilst enjoying a selection of delicious food.
Mr Bradley Fry attended both Reunions and appreciated the opportunity to meet the attendees; ranging from the recently graduated to some who farewelled Tintern over 60 years ago.
