Tintern Grammar

Since 1877…

The desire to provide an excellent education for her children prompted Mrs Emma B Cook to start Tintern in 1877, with many local and country families sending their children to the school.

Tintern’s growth saw it become a girls’ school in 1918, and in 1953, move to the more spacious and modern facilities at its current site.

The school returned to its founding principle of educating the whole family by establishing the Southwood Boys’ campus in 1999, and an early learning centre for boys and girls in 2011.

With all schools now located at Ringwood East, Tintern is able to provide students with an unequalled range of educational and co-curricular opportunities.

The Tintern schooling adventure begins with mixed classes in our Early Learning Centre, with genders separated through Junior and Middle Schools to provide stimulating and effective learning environments designed to meet the differing learning styles of boys and girls.

Boys and girls are then brought together in the co-educational environment of our Senior College, where they benefit from a greater choice of subjects and tertiary-style facilities, and are prepared for the transition into higher education or joining the workforce.
