A number of Tintern Grammar students are keen horse riders and Tintern Friends of Equestrian (FOE) is an enthusiastic, friendly and welcoming group, formed to support these students and families in their equestrian activities.
Every year, Friends of Equestrian members organise a number of activities to give young riders opportunities to develop and further their skills. These events include clinics, training days, trail rides, camps, and a Demonstration Day, held at Tintern Grammar.
FOE members play a vital part in organising the Tintern Grammar Victorian Interschool Horse Trials, held annually at Wandin. This major event regularly attracts around 250 competitors from over 50 Victorian schools and is a National Interschools Eventing qualifier.
We are always looking for new members who share our passion for competitive riding and to help young people participate in enriching equestrian experiences.

All new (and existing) Tintern Grammar parents are warmly encouraged to become part of Tintern Parents Group.
Membership provides a wonderful way for parents to meet other parents and through participation feel fully part of the School community.
Members make a vital contribution by helping to arrange and take part in community events, organise fund raisers for special projects, and while doing so forge links and create friendships that will last long after school days are over.
Parents Group members also have the satisfaction of working on projects the whole school community benefits from. We organise Trivia Nights, Mothers’ Day breakfasts, Fathers’ Day stalls, and a range of fund-raising events for various causes and projects.
There are regular meetings and we always have room for new members.
