Community Connections

Tintern Communities Limited is an official body, incorporated to oversee all of Tintern Grammar’s Community groups. The Tintern Communities purpose is to facilitate dialogue between parents, community groups and the School Board and to guide and advise members of Community groups. Current Chairman is Mr Bradley Fry, the School Principal. The principle activity of Tintern Communities is to raise funds for Tintern Grammar and to encourage present and former: pupils, parents and guardians, and other friends of the School, to promote and work for the welfare and advancement of the School.

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.

Music plays an important part in our School’s life and Tintern Grammar’s music students and staff have a strong, committed supporter base with Tintern Friends of Music (FOM).

Powered by a common love of music, this passionate group of parents and staff work to bring greater awareness and appreciation of all forms of music to the School community.

FOM volunteers perform the vital role of fundraising, as well as generously devoting their time and energy to ensure the success of a variety of musical productions and events featuring Tintern Grammar music students.

These dedicated music-lovers are on the lookout for new members.

No special abilities are needed, apart from a willingness to become involved and help support our young musicians with their endeavours.

Tintern Friends of Music host a range of special events each year, including Jazz Nights and ‘Munch with the Musos’.

Meetings are held at 7pm Monday evenings, usually once a month in the CM Wood Common Room.

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.
