Senior Girls Hockey Premiers
The Senior Girls Hockey Team are joint Premiers with Donvale Christian College. A very exciting and close game was played with the end result being 2 v 2. In a heart-pumping finish to the game, each team scored a goal during ‘extra time’, levelling the scores and declaring both teams joint premiers.
Congratulations to our team who played a very fast and skillful game, fighting hard throughout to ensure that Donvale’s score was kept to a minimum. Fantastic teamwork and sportsmanship by everyone and a special congratulations to Saskia Jackson Smith who not only coached the team, but was also awarded ‘Player of the match’.

Show Jumping
We congratulate Olivia Park Year 10 for competing with her beautiful horse Jinx at the St Andrews Memorial Finch Showjumping on 28 August. Competing in two rounds, 2 phase and Table C (both speed rounds), Olivia won Round 1 by 0.03 of a second and Round 2 by 4 seconds.
Volleyball update
Congratulations to all of the middle school teams who competed at the Volleyball Victoria 4 day cup. The championship school has been announced and the final results are in. Tintern improved significantly from pervious years results, finishing 12th overall. Out of 33 schools that competed, this is a great effort. Well done.
Out of the 10 teams that Tintern sent to the tournament, 4 teams played in the finals, with the Year 9 girls winning the silver medal. Not only do the students play throughout the tournament, they also referee/ duty each others games. At the end of each game the duty team votes on the most valuable player of the match. These results are counted up over the four days, and each division is awarded an MVP.
Tintern was successful in Year 7 with the Girls Division 2 MVP going to one of our students, congratulations to Naomi De La Peirre.
Tintern are keen to continue our Volleyball program, and the development of the middle school students. Mrs Petchell will be running a skills session for Years 7-9 on a Tuesday lunchtime for the final 3 weeks of Term. Starting on the 30 August.
If you are interested in being involved, please come along. Runners must be worn.
Alternatively, there is a Sunday session being hosted by Maroondah Volleyball, please contact Catherine for further information.
There is one final Volleyball tournament to be held in late November. Information is still to be confirmed, team training for this will occur next term.
Well done again to all teams, and we look forward to bringing home even more medals next year.
