On Friday 25 February we will again have the chance to celebrate our position as the Number 1 achieving academic school in our region of Melbourne. At our Principal’s Assembly we will be awarding the Monash Prize to joint recipients – our 2 top performing Year 11 students of 2010. Tintern Schools is one of a small number of schools that is honoured to be recognised in an academic partnership with Monash University through the annual awarding of a significant monetary prize to 1 or 2 highly achieving Year 11 students. We will also have to opportunity to honour our top performing Year 12 students of 2010 through acknowledgement of our program Duces (IB and VCE) and our subject area Duces in: Commerce; Humanities; Mathematics/Science; and, The Arts. We will also take the opportunity to present Speech Night 2010 prizes to a number of student recipients who were absent on the Vietnam Trek or through illness. More will be written about the recipients of all these prizes after the ceremony has been held, but it will be an opportu‐ nity for our students, staff and invited parent guests to honour a number of outstanding academic performances. In the week commencing Monday 7 March our Senior College Conferences are scheduled: the Year 10 City Experience run from Tuesday 8 ‐ Friday 11 March; the Year 11 Conference to Phillip Island from Wednesday 9 ‐ Friday 11 March; and the Year 12 Conference to Storey Hall at RMIT in the City, Ph: 9845 7850 Head of Campus Absentee Line: 9845 7722 Email: Tinternhoc@tintern.vic.edu.au
Issue No 1/Thursday 17 February 2011 is scheduled for Wednesday 9 & Thursday 10 March. All families should either have already received or be about to receive information on these Conferences. I wish all Senior College students and staff enjoyable and productive experiences of activities that are designed to provide teamwork and personal growth opportunities. I look forward to joining our Year 10 and Year 12 students for several sessions at their Conferences. In the following week our Year 7 students are due to attend Camp Coonawarra from Tuesday 15 to Friday 18 March. The emphasis of the Year 7 Camp is to give our Year 7s the chance to know their classmates better and indeed to mix more widely and thereby get to know the whole year level better, in a setting that is not as formal as school. Also attending will be a team of our senior Outdoor Education Leaders who will assist the Years 7s in their sleep‐out evening – a highlight of the Year 7 Camp. I would like to draw the attention of all parents and guardians of the need to be aware of Council by‐laws when parking, dropping off or picking up your daughter(s)/son(s) close to the School. Please be aware of the Council by‐laws as we do not want any of our parents to be fined for parking infringements. In addition, I ask parents who are collecting their daughter(s)/son(s) at the end of the day from the parking bay at the PE Centre/Bus Bay to be aware of the need to keep the traffic flowing by not blocking the entrance of buses into the Bus Bay or by stopping in the car park without parking. As usual there are many interesting articles contained in the newsletter, but I would like to draw particular attention to our Annual Tintern Schools Musical, West Side Story, which is fast approaching with performances commencing on Wednesday 23 March. This year we have scheduled 2 performances on Saturday 26 March with both a matinee and an evening show. My advice is to book early, as Tintern Schools Musicals are events that should not be missed. Please remember that we have moved to automated ticketing and payment for such events – instructions will be advertised on a regular basis. Tickets will be available from Tuesday 1 March 2010 via our website and trybooking.com There is also a large amount of information relating to Music awards and to Music rehearsal schedules for our various ensemble groups. Further, Maths Assist, a wonderful initiative of the Tintern Schools’ Mathematics Faculty, which enables our talented senior mathematics students to assist students from Years 7 to 10 is re‐commencing on Wednesday 23 February. Finally, the newsletter contains information on the forthcoming Tintern Schools Fair to be held at the Tintern Campus on Saturday 2 April from 12 – 8pm, culminating in a fireworks display. In closing, I send kind regards to all members of our School community, Geoff Connor Head of Campus Ph: 9845 7850 Head of Campus Absentee Line: 9845 7722 Email: Tinternhoc@tintern.vic.edu.au
