Girls Night Out – postponed until February 2020

Regrettably due to a calendar clash we have postponed the ‘Girls Night Out’ until Saturday 22 February 2020. Full refunds will be given to all those who have purchased tickets. They will be processed as soon as possible, but there will be some delay as the College retrieves the funds from Trybooking, then refunds you. Thank you in anticipation of your patience.

We do apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. The TLG is very aware that networking and bonding is very important – it is a good way to share what is going on in each year with each child, and to learn from one another about how to parent boys. We have set the date for next year - please save it in your calendar as a date claimer now.

Athletics Carnival

The first Friday back after the holidays we will see the school Inter-House Athletics Carnival out at Tennyson. This is a day filled with fun and laughter for all. This year, we will be opening the BBQ pit to cook Augustus Angus Beef cheeseburgers and hot chips for the day. This will not be possible without the support from our wonderful dads and mums who are able to volunteer their time to help.  

It is a mammoth task feeding some 1500+ boys, parents and staff. If any parent can give an hour of your time it would be very much appreciated. If you cannot come out, perhaps you are able to send home bake on the day to Tennyson or drop it at Terrace to the ‘old student services’ off Victoria St prior to 8.15am. 

No experience is necessary to help, and it is a great opportunity to meet new friends. Secretly the boys love to see their parents behind the counters.

• Home Bake
• BBQ PIT
• Canteen

All British Day 

Tennyson | Sunday 22 September

The All British Day held at Tennyson on Sunday 22 September is a major fundraiser for the Terrace Performing Arts which runs the canteen on the day.  We need parent volunteers to help on the canteen and BBQ and to provide home bake.  If you can help, even for an hour, we would be truly appreciative.
