TRINITY ANGLICAN COLLEGE

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS

Trinity Anglican College marked a significant milestone in 2022, celebrating 20 years of the College. Since 2002, the College has evolved from two portable buildings and a church that housed 17 founding students and three staff, to a school of 1200 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 attending the beautiful 10-ha semirural campus, just outside of Albury in New South Wales. Principal Adrian Johnson said this year, the College had taken a look back to the early days of Trinity. “We can delight in how far our College has developed from those very humble beginnings. It is an amazing leap of faith to those first families that entrusted the education of their children to a dream on dusty paddocks in Thurgoona,” Dr Johnson said. “We know that there are many fond memories held by these founding students.” A whole-school birthday party was held in November to mark the momentous occasion. The morning kicked off with craft activities, crown making, and the running of the hotly contested Trinity Gift. Lunchtime entertainment was provided by Trinity students who held busking in the outdoor Chapel. During a whole school assembly, the College heard from two of the founding staff members, Mrs Jenny McMillan and Mrs Davina Gibb, who both still work at Trinity today. They both had fond memories to share from the early days of Trinity and provided some entertaining stories about our original site and former students and staff members. The 2023 College Captains and Junior School Leaders then planted the celebratory tree. The afternoon was filled with tabloid games for all year levels with senior and junior students all mixing together and having fun. Finally, it was time for cake, with each student receiving a delicious cupcake for afternoon tea. Dr Johnson said the College looked back with gratitude to the many staff, students, and families who forged the community of Trinity.

“We are entrusted with their legacy and are here to make this the best education for our community. We now look to the future and the exciting redevelopment plans we have for Trinity Anglican College,” Dr Johnson said.
