Principal's News
As the 2020 year draws to a close, I thank students, parents and staff for your ongoing support. We are truly grateful for the faith, trust and commitment you bestow upon us. It has certainly been a year of great challenges, but true to form, our community has emerged stronger and united - able to reflect upon the many joys and celebrations.
On behalf of the staff at Trinity Lutheran College, I pray rich blessings for you and your family this Christmas season. May you find time to refresh, renew and reinvigorate over the holiday period and reflect on the reason for the season - the birth of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Redeemer.
We look forward to 2021 and pray it is a year where we can return to some form of 'pre covid' normal.

Exciting News!!!
It is with great excitement that we share, Trinity Lutheran College has been successful in receiving an Australian Government Capital Grant of $1 million to assist our college with the refurbishment of the Mungo (Year 7-10) and Hattah (Year 5-6) buildings.
College Executive have been working closely with the Architectural Team at Bickerton Masters Architects to design a fully refurbished building project that provides our students with cutting edge, contemporary learning spaces that provide opportunities for student learning in flexible, modern and technology rich spaces. The design brief has focused on 'every space is a place to learn' and will transform not only our classrooms but Sails area as well.
It is anticipated that the project will begin in April 2021 with students enjoying fabulous new spaces by the end of the year. This is such an exciting opportunity for our College to build on the recent growth of our school and ensure our students have the best possible facilities.
The College is in the final stages of the design and development of the project and look forward to being able to tender early in 2021.
This is Stage One of a planned three stage building project that will also fully refurbish and update the Hawthorn Block (Year 3-4), library and Administration buildings. It is certainly a super exciting time for us to all look forward to!

School start dates for 2021
As we prepare for the new school year the College has adapted our usual start of school routine. Our 2021 Prep and Year 7 students have not been able to fully participate in a transition program this year due to the Covid-19 regulations placed on schools. As such, the 2021 school year will have a staggered start.
The 2021 School start dates:
Thursday 28th January - PCG Parent/Student/Teacher interviews for all year levels
Friday 29th January - First day for Prep's and Year 7 ONLY
Monday 1st February - Whole school returns to school
We look forward to these staggered start dates providing a smooth start to the school year for all students.

Merry Christmas from the Canteen
The Canteen staff wish all Trinity students and their families a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for supporting the canteen this year through our Flexischools app. We would also like to thank everyone within the community that supported our new Take Home Meals this year. We have had an amazing response and are looking to continue the service in 2021. Next week we will be selling all our frozen meals if you wish to purchase.
We look forward to seeing you all again in next year!
