Sport
We promise to maximise student potential. We have created a broad sporting program that helps boys and girls form a good attitude towards physical activity, sport and more importantly a positive self-image.
Sport is an integral part of the Tintern Schools life and plays an important part in the development of the ‘whole person’. Tintern Schools has a proud sporting tradition and we applaud those who participate as much as those who strive to excel. Sport also helps the boys and girls develop many qualities they can rely on now, and in later life such as teamwork, social skills, a sense of fair play and leadership.
HOUSE SPORT
A House system operates at Tintern Schools and students are divided into five House groups for an exciting range of activities. The House system provides students with three major carnivals throughout the year – Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country – where students represent their Houses. The focus of House activities is participation and enriching students’ experiences within the School.
INTER SCHOOL SPORT
Both the Southwood Boys and Tintern Girls participate in sporting activities beyond the school boundaries through our association with the Eastern Independent Schools Melbourne (EISM).
Our students have the opportunity to participate in the following sports: Athletics (Track and Field), Badminton, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Cricket, Cross Country, Diving, Fencing, Football, Golf, Hockey, Kayaking, Netball, Soccer, Softball, Squash, Surf Life Saving, Swimming, Tennis, Volleyball and Water Polo.
Tintern Schools boasts a 25-metre indoor pool, access to athletics facilities, three general playing fields, a hockey pitch, 8 tennis courts, indoor netball courts and 2 gymnasium complexes, which include weight rooms.
NO WEEKEND SPORT
All competitive sport occurs during the school week. This enables our students to have more time to spend with family and friends, and to be involved in local community activities on weekends.
