We’re thrilled to celebrate Ashlea’s remarkable achievements in the agriculture sector! Despite her city background and no prior farming experience, Ashlea’s passion for agriculture has truly blossomed. As an avid Young Farmer member during her time at Tintern, Ashlea Class of 2019, earned her Bachelor of Agribusiness with a major in Rural Science from the University of New England, she now thrives as the Southern Beef Sales Representative for Genetics Australia. Ashlea was recently awarded a prestigious scholarship to attend the Tocal Beef Cattle Assessment Course, where she will hone her skills in beef cattle selection alongside industry experts. We’re excited to see how Ashlea will continue to make her mark in agriculture!

We are proud to share the latest achievements of Professor Helen Quinn (Arnold) AO, Class of 1959, a pioneer in the field of particle physics and a 2017 inaugural inductee of our Avenue of Excellence.
Helen’s extraordinary contributions to science continue to inspire, most recently through her lectures at Yale University, where she shared her remarkable career journey. Her efforts in advancing the understanding of particle physics are nothing short of legendary! In 2023, Helen was honoured with the Harvey Prize, a well-deserved recognition of her profound impact on the scientific community.
Helen’s legacy extends beyond her scientific work. As a significant donor to our STEAM Centre, her generosity continues to support and inspire the next generation of innovators at Tintern Grammar.
Helen’s achievements not only shape the field of physics but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for future generations. We are proud to call her one of our own and continue to be inspired by her remarkable journey.

Debating is very popular at Tintern Grammar. We encourage students to take on the challenge of debating and we are a regional host school for the DAV competition. On Tuesday our Middle School students took part in an informative workshop to develop their debating skills with former debate coach and public speaking trainer Elaine Doyle. Students viewed and discussed samples of persuasive techniques in arguments and rebuttals, then it was their turn to take part in a debate, with all students receiving individual feedback. We look forward to these students signing up to the Tintern Grammar Debate Team in 2025, knowing they will build their already confident speaking skills further. We thank Mrs Derry our Debating Co-ordinator for providing our students with such a valuable debating program.
