Trinity Connect
Issue 16, 15 November 2019
Principal's News
Schools are a lot like large families, actually, very large families! We are a group of people, a community who come together to learn and to grow, we share common experiences and a core set of values. Now I love my family, don't get me wrong, but there are days when we don't always see eye to eye. There are days when someone is tired or feeling out of sorts and may not be as kind as usual. There are days when one of us may need reminding of the way 'our family' does things. Then of course there is those times when the full extended family comes together?!?!?!
Schools are just like a family! This week we came together as a 'Trinity Family' and spoke about our core values, our expectations and how we do things the 'Trinity Way'. We talked about the end of the year nearing and the tiredness some are feeling, we talked about the way we can become complacent and lose sight of our general conduct. We spoke about how together, as a school community we can come together and support one another, care for one another and most importantly respect one another. We have been very clear about the expectations of our students as members of our community and how everyone can work together over these next few weeks to make them as positive as possible for everyone!

2020 Student Leadership
Student Leadership is very important to the culture of our College. Our current Year 5 and 9 students have this week been taken through the process of leadership nomination for the 2020 student leadership roles of College Captains (Year 10) and Primary Captains (Year 6).

Those students who are interested in nominating for the position of College Captain or Primary Captain will have a Student Guide to Leadership Booklet that clarifies the roles and responsibilities of each as well as the process for and timeline of application. Additional copies of the booklet are available to collect from College Reception.
