We mine for gold in each child, encouraging them to succeed on the pathway that’s right for them. We are the only school in the area to offer VCE, VET courses and the International Baccalaureate. This range of choice consistently delivers excellent academic results, as seen through our Year 12 results and NAPLAN testing.

At Tintern Schools we focus on developing the whole person. Creative, social, emotional and spiritual developments are as important as academic achievement. Our guiding values are care, compassion, challenge, fulfillment and commitment. Our small class sizes ensure that every child is known and cared for. Our aim is for each student to realise their life-long potential.

We offer the chance for every student to excel. No matter what academic, artistic or sporting interests they wish to pursue, we make sure they have access to a wide range of opportunities and first-class facilities.

On offer are university style lecture theatre, Indoor PE Centre housing a 25 metre heated pool, sporting courts, indoor rock climbing centre and gymnasium, numerous outdoor tennis and netball courts, sports ovals, commercial kitchen, numerous computer labs with modern computers and up-to-date software, music facilities and visual arts opportunities in photography, painting, sculpture and art.

Tintern is the only school in the outer eastern suburbs to offer students three different pathways.

VICTORIAN CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION (VCE) PROGRAM
The curriculum offered in the VCE program is broad and allows for individual passions and interests.

VCE -- VET PROGRAM
For a VCE curriculum to be genuinely comprehensive, it must cater for the needs of all students. The School provides an additional pathway within the VCE, our VCE --VET program.

Tintern is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and offers students the opportunity to undertake Certificate II and III level courses within their VCE studies. Completion of a VET program enables students to graduate with both a VCE Certificate (with an ENTER score) and a nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training qualification.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) PROGRAM
As an alternative to the VCE or VCE-VET programs, students in Senior College can choose to undertake the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), which provides an international education -- emphasising intellectual, social and emotional skills required to succeed in today's global world.

The IB Diploma, taken over two-years, is not based on the elements of any one country but incorporates highly desirable elements of many.

Tintern Schools offers high quality, single-sex education for our Junior and Middle school boys and girls.

Junior and Middle School boys and girls learn on separate campuses, where they are encouraged to develop independence, build self-confidence and self-awareness and strengthen their interpersonal skills.

Senior students benefit from a mixed learning environment and social experiences that will equip them for tertiary learning and their life beyond the school and the support of their teachers.

This new Senior College will be located in the Anderson Centre, with common facilities for Years 11 and 12 and separate learning spaces for Year 10 boys and girls.

This model has been operating less formally for the past decade for students undertaking the International Baccalaureate, VCE/VET studies and more recently the VCE.

Underpinning this exceptional curriculum is an outstanding pastoral care program that ensures that each student develops important life skills such as teamwork, compassion, global citizenship, cooperation, problem solving, optimism and work ethic.

But above all, what makes the Tintern Schools such special places, is our staff of committed educational professionals, working together to produce the best learning outcomes for every student, every day.
