Last week, Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist Andrew Fuller, spoke to Tintern Grammar parents about how to create confident and capable learners.
He outlined the types of personalities parents are likely to see in their children, from negotiators to passive resistors with tips on how to respond to each.
In order to learn, he said it is vital that children be in a ‘have a go mindset’ and he shared tips on how to optimise that state of mind. Most importantly, he described the importance of asking questions. That as a parent, the most powerful word is ‘what’ rather than ‘why’.
If you missed the session, the best way to get up to speed is to visit mylearningstrengths.com to discover your child’s learning type.
Thanks to Andrew for his continued support of Tintern families for over 16 years!

Tintern Grammar Alumnae, Rose Russell (Class of 2019) recently visited the School to present in Assembly before working with senior politics students and mentoring the Model United Nations Co-curricular Club.
During her schooling years at Tintern, Rose immersed herself in nearly every aspect of school, with a particular focus on community service, social justice, sports, debating, and House activities.
Rose has been an avid Model UN participant since leaving Tintern as School Captain, and she has already made an indelible mark in Law. In 2024, Rose was remarkably listed as one of Australian Financial Review’s (AFR) Top 100 Future Leaders.
Thanks to Rose for generously sharing her time with students on her visit. The Model United Nations Co-curricular Club were incredibly fortunate to learn first-hand about the power of effective negotiation skills!

Congratulations to Tintern Grammar secondary teacher, Tom Stammers who was recently awarded the prestigious 2025 History Teachers’ Association of Victoria (HTAV) Award for Excellence in History Teaching by a Secondary Teacher.
Tom, who is deeply passionate about the teaching of History, was presented with his award at the Hellenic Museum, Melbourne in late April. At that time, HTAV acknowledged the work he has done on bringing a greater focus on Indigenous history into the classroom, the greater student numbers (and scores) in Tintern’s VCE program, and some of the activities that he has created around role playing, games, and engaging with multiple historical perspectives on important events.
‘More than anything else, I feel a deep love for my wonderful History teaching team. I really feel like I teach among some of the best in the business,’ Tom said.
Tintern Grammar is proud to have a teacher of such high calibre in Tom, who generously shares his knowledge and skills with senior students every day. Congratulations Tom!
