We proudly introduce The Tintern Grammar Collection – Celebrating 150 Years.
Our new wardrobe has been styled by renowned designer Jonathan Ward in collaboration with the Wardrobe Committee comprising students, staff and parents. Much thought and work has gone into the styling of the wardrobe – the design, choice of fabrics, colours, cut and fit – and the result is stunning!
This non-seasonal, gender neutral, and contemporary design incorporates classic lines and colours. Featuring all new Academic and PE/Sport ranges with the introduction of a number of optional additional pieces of clothing, students can choose pieces to wear that they feel comfortable in and will enable them to perform their best in and out of the classroom.
The Academic Wardrobe features options including a variety of new knitwear (pullover, cardigan and vest), a new dress, skirt, shirt options and blazer, as well as shorts and trousers, with much greater choice in what can be worn, and with what. The PE/Sport range is sure to be an even greater hit with students, who can choose from leggings, shorts, skorts (Junior students), a polar fleece vest, soft-shell jacket, hoodie, long sleeve t-shirts and short sleeve polos.
A feature of the PE/Sport Wardrobe is the introduction of the new bold T logo incorporating the combined School colours of white, green and maroon; a contemporary nod to our heritage, and symbol of our unified School. All PE/Sport items are branded with the new T and all Academic items with the existing Tintern mitre. The new socks, scarf and beanie have neither branding, and can be worn with either wardrobe.
Students will wear items from the Academic Wardrobe on all days of the week when they do not have inter-school Sport (and in Junior School, days when they do not have PE or Sport). As now, there will continue to be specific requirements for inter-school sports teams competing for the School and these arrangements will vary according to the particular sport in which a student is involved.
There will be a two-year transition period, for current students to wear the new Academic or PE/Sport Wardrobes – with all students fully wearing The Tintern Collection by our 150th year in 2027.
Tintern Grammar’s new wardrobe The Tintern Collection: Celebrating 150 years will be available for purchase from the start of Term 4 2024.
