Issue No 1/Thursday 17 February 2011<br />
is scheduled for Wednesday 9 & Thursday 10 March. All families should either have already<br />
received or be about to receive information on these Conferences. I wish all Senior College students<br />
and staff enjoyable and productive experiences of activities that are designed to provide teamwork<br />
and personal growth opportunities. I look forward to joining our Year 10 and Year 12 students for<br />
several sessions at their Conferences.<br />
In the following week our Year 7 students are due to attend Camp Coonawarra from Tuesday 15 to<br />
Friday 18 March. The emphasis of the Year 7 Camp is to give our Year 7s the chance to know their<br />
classmates better and indeed to mix more widely and thereby get to know the whole year level<br />
better, in a setting that is not as formal as school. Also attending will be a team of our senior<br />
Outdoor Education Leaders who will assist the Years 7s in their sleep‐out evening – a highlight of<br />
the Year 7 Camp.<br />
I would like to draw the attention of all parents and guardians of the need to be aware of Council<br />
by‐laws when parking, dropping off or picking up your daughter(s)/son(s) close to the School. Please<br />
be aware of the Council by‐laws as we do not want any of our parents to be fined for parking<br />
infringements. In addition, I ask parents who are collecting their daughter(s)/son(s) at the end of<br />
the day from the parking bay at the PE Centre/Bus Bay to be aware of the need to keep the traffic<br />
flowing by not blocking the entrance of buses into the Bus Bay or by stopping in the car park<br />
without parking.<br />
As usual there are many interesting articles contained in the newsletter, but I would like to draw<br />
particular attention to our Annual <strong>Tintern</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> <strong>Musical</strong>, West Side Story, which is fast<br />
approaching with performances commencing on Wednesday 23 March. This year we have<br />
scheduled 2 performances on Saturday 26 March with both a matinee and an evening show. My<br />
advice is to book early, as <strong>Tintern</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> <strong>Musical</strong>s are events that should not be missed. Please<br />
remember that we have moved to automated ticketing and payment for such events – instructions<br />
will be advertised on a regular basis. Tickets will be available from Tuesday 1 March 2010 via our<br />
website and trybooking.com<br />
There is also a large amount of information relating to Music awards and to Music rehearsal<br />
schedules for our various ensemble groups. Further, Maths Assist, a wonderful initiative of the<br />
<strong>Tintern</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>’ Mathematics Faculty, which enables our talented senior mathematics students to<br />
assist students from Years 7 to 10 is re‐commencing on Wednesday 23 February. Finally, the<br />
newsletter contains information on the forthcoming <strong>Tintern</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> Fair to be held at the <strong>Tintern</strong><br />
Campus on Saturday 2 April from 12 – 8pm, culminating in a fireworks display.<br />
In closing, I send kind regards to all members of our School community,<br />
