Innovation & Creativity School. Bottom Right: Blakeview students working in collaboration to problem solve in the INNOV8 centre.

It is a very exciting time to be part of Trinity College! We are only weeks away from formally commencing the build of our new Creativity and Innovation School.

As an all-encompassing project, which will enhance the capabilities of students and staff, the Trinity Creativity and Innovation School will have a profound impact on us achieving many key strategic goals. The venture will have a positive and palpable impact across the College and for the wider community. The Trinity Creativity and Innovation School is a central component

of our broader plan to achieve cultural, educational and learning enhancement at Trinity. Our interventions are heavily student focussed. This investment is a key driver of staff professional development, production and dissemination of research, engagement with all students from across our five schools, and will become the centre for university/tertiary engagement and collaboration.

Schooling has traditionally prepared learners by providing ‘foundation skills’

(primarily with a literacy and numeracy focus) and then helping students attain ‘technical skills’ and ‘specific subject knowledge.’ Technical skills are specific to a particular task, role or industry. Thus graduating students move to university, trades or into the workplace and learn additional technical skills to be applied to the context of their profession. A recent government report into Australia’s workforce found that since 2013 demand for employees with digital literacy is up by 212%, critical thinking skills has gone

up 158% and creativity is up by 65%! Jan Owen the CEO from the Foundation for Young Australians advocates to ‘enable young people to adapt and thrive, learning should promote skills of collaboration and problem solving, making and designing, empathy and emotional acuity, rather than regurgitating learned information in order to ace the test.’

In order to be successful post school, educators are now much more conscientious in ensuring students are graduating with certain well developed capabilities or enterprise skills. ‘Capabilities are the set of skills, behaviours and dispositions which allow an individual to convert their knowledge into meaningful action in a range of different settings’ (Fox 2016). Enterprise skills are transferable skills that can be applied across contexts or work environments. Up to this point possessing these enterprise skills has often advantaged particular workers to gain leadership positions or be more successful in applying their technical skills. Jobs of the future will demand enterprise skills are needed 70% more than they are currently.

Eight skills classified as Enterprise skills are Problem Solving, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Presentation skills, Communication skills, Digital Literacy, Teamwork and Financial Literacy.

Trinity will embrace a path to clearly establish the qualities and capabilities we want all our graduates to possess in order to flourish in society beyond school.

We will embrace a teaching programme and provide school experiences which will deliver these values and capabilities for all.

Our teaching will more seamlessly move beyond the silos of subjects and become more multi-disciplinary and project base.

Entrepreneurship, collaboration, creativity, empathy and engagement will be genuine features underpinned by quality literacy and numeracy. The Trinity Creativity and Innovation School will be a key component in enabling this reinvention.

Our digital community engagement has grown recently with expanded use of the College learning management system, Schoolbox; the launch of the College APP, Facebook and Instagram pages.

Character development enhanced through co-curricular opportunities is as important now as it has ever been. We have recently received a significant State government grant to establish a synthetic Hockey and Tennis facility at the College.

This should be completed in time for the 2019 winter season. Even with these major enhancements of facilities we have managed our resources well and it was a pleasure to be able to write to families recently to outline our overall fees and charges won’t be increasing from 2018 to 2019. We are committed to doing all we can to support families.

ABOVE L-R; Richard Turner (Director of

Zen Energy) and Nick Hately (Head of College) sign off on the solar installation.

During 2017, Trinity College partnered with Zen Energy to implement a major solar project across all of its schools and STARplex creating a 1.2mW system, approximately 400kW bigger than any other known school solar project in the country (approximately 7kW would be enough to power the average home).

With the size and scale of this project, after more than 12 months the project is now fully complete and generating electricity. This will reduce the College’s bill substantially and offset 1,000 tonnes of carbon every year, for more than 20 years. This project aligns with the College’s strategic focus on environmental sustainability and allows the College to invest in more meaningful educational outcomes whilst keeping school fee increases to a minimum.

Success Bronze iGeo

All of this has been done whilst developing collaborative skills and applying knowledge to real life situations

STEM in Action

Harry Hall (Year 12) was a member of the four person Australian team that won two bronze medals at the prestigious International Geography Olympiad (iGeo) in Quebec City Canada, in July. Fortythree countries took part in this one week competition that tests the best young geographers in the world.

Dominate Voice

As part of our strategic plan in the area of Teaching and Learning this year, we prioritised the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). These four subjects represent the different areas of STEM education. This integrates concepts that are usually taught as separate subjects in different classes and emphasises the application of knowledge to real-life situations.

A significant amount of money was invested in resources and equipment to support multiple hands on, engaging activities. In addition we placed value on experts in the area and enlisted the support of Mr Sion Harman, (Middle School Teacher) and Mrs Sue O’Malley (Head of Multimedia & Robotics) to work alongside our staff and students. Sue is the recent winner of the STEM Educator of the Year and her passion and expertise in this area has assisted in generating enthusiasm for STEM school-wide.

Cooper Everett (Year 10) won the State title in the Senior Section at the Rostrum Voice of Youth competition. He spoke in Parliament House with such confidence, variety, zest and relevance that it was hard to deny his strength in this field. Cooper went to Sydney in July for the National Competition, placing third.

04 Trinity College Success

Following on from planning in staff meetings and professional development sessions, staff have worked alongside Mr Harman and Mrs O’Malley to implement some fantastic STEM learning across the curriculum and year levels. We have been; coding and programming, creating adventure stories with cubetto, working with robotic mice, using Scratch and Scratch Jnr, making various models, solving problems, conducting experiments, measuring, estimating and generally using a variety of equipment and skills to answer questions and solve problems. All of this has been done whilst developing collaborative skills and applying knowledge to real life situations.

Robocup Winners

In August, Blakeview students competed at the 2018 South Australian Robocup Junior Championships at Hindmarsh.

Over the years, we have had great success in the multitude of competitions that are on offer and this year was no different with the team coming away with four State titles, one second place and one third place.

The four State titles won this year, two OnStage Performance and two in Soccer, brings our campus to a total of 24 State titles in 10 years.

Recently Middle School students visited the Senior School science laboratories to use an electron microscope that was on loan to the College, as part of their STEM studies.

The electron microscope (the only one of its kind in the state), can magnify up to 1 million times. This microscope is often used in forensic departments to assist with solving evidence problems. Priced at $60,000, two teachers were trained on how to use the microscope and created many scientific problems for the students to solve.

Success is of course a fantastic thing, but for us it is more about building a culture of working together, supporting each other and enjoying what we do, no matter the results. Three Blakeview students will represent the College at the Robocup Junior Australia Open Championships in Melbourne. Chelsea Holliday, Cate Surrey and Jessica Bryant, will test their programming and design skills against the best robotic schools from around the country and overseas (including teams from China, Korea, New Zealand and Japan).

Creating Sustainable Cities During Humanities and Social Science studies in Term 3, Year 4 students at Gawler River have explored the complex concept of sustainability by creating their own sustainable cities.

In small inquiry groups, the students used prior knowledge from STEM and Design Technologies lessons to plan, design and build a 3D model of their city. Each group also presented justifications for why particular parts of their city were included. A visit from local sustainable farmers at Hillier's Food Forest, combined with their own research and ingenuity, assisted the process.

This culminated in the final product of a drone-like flyover video of each city with some featuring audio commentary!

As one student exclaimed during the process - "I think it will be up to all of us to start living sustainably, even in our own streets, or who knows what might happen later?"

The day was a wonderful success and the students were filled with empathy and compassion Democracy in Action

Community Plant Grow Go On Thursday 20 September, five members of the Plant Grow Go Team had the privilege to attend the Elizabeth Mission to cook for the less fortunate. This opportunity brought our project full circle, giving meaning and purpose to the students’ hard work and dedication through giving back to our local community.

Year 5 students were excited to celebrate their learning with a Democracy Exhibition, in North’s new multi-function space. The exhibition was attended by parents and teachers and we were thrilled to have Ms Karen Redman, Mayor of Gawler join us. The students presented a demonstration trial (The State of South Australia v Goldie Locks); a mock election complete with party political broadcasts, how to vote cards, and an electronic voting system designed and developed in our STEM sessions with Mrs O’Malley; and infographic posters prepared by our students on the elements of democracy.

The problem-based learning approach of our ‘code a preferential voting system’ design brief encouraged the students to foster their ability to think critically, to engage in real world computational thinking, and to engage as effective Australian citizens by gaining a deep understanding of Australia’s system of voting and the importance of the same.

We have watched their 21st century skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication blossom as they engaged in self-directed, independent learning. The students of Year 5 have developed into a learning community in its truest form, working towards a common goal, experiencing the positive emotions of pride, gratitude, interest, and inspiration. As their teachers, we have witnessed them grow in ways immeasurable.

Mrs Lesley Johnson and Mrs Kylee Roberts Year 5 Teachers - North

We took some of the produce we had grown in our garden to prepare, cook and serve. We decided we would cook ratatouille with mashed potato and herbed chicken as it was full of hearty vegetables and very nutritious. The students worked alongside five volunteers (under the direction of the Head Chef, Daniel), and we were also fortunate to have the team from Forage Supply Co come and volunteer their time with us.

The day was a wonderful success and the students were filled with empathy and compassion for those who frequent the service and had a high admiration for the volunteers they worked with. They all commented they ‘would do it again because it was rewarding for them and everyone involved.’

We would like to thank Anglicare Elizabeth for letting us share in their community and Forage Supply Co for their continued support of our project. We look forward to working together again soon!

Literacy and Numeracy Week

ABOVE South Australian author and illustrator, Sally Heinrich was a special visitor to Gawler River during Literacy and Numeracy Week.

During Literacy and Numeracy Week this year Junior School students from Gawler River enjoyed a range of activities in celebration of this annual event.

South Australian author and illustrator Sally Heinrich visited and spoke to students about her journey to becoming a published author and offered advice and life experience. Students were also encouraged to bring along a favourite book to swap for their own Great Book Swap. As well as allowing much loved books to find new homes, students raised much needed funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

Students also took part in a competition to guess the length of all the Gawler River Junior School students if they were laid end to end to win a prize. The final result was 712.21 metres!

Pirate Books

This year’s theme for Book week was “Find Your Treasure” so we transformed the library into a Pirate ship ‘The Black Pearl’ with the library staff wearing pirate costumes all week. The library had different activities during lunchtime to entertain the children and we encouraged the use of the library and the love of reading and learning.

There was even a plank for students and staff to walk.

National Flag Day

Old Scholar and current Mayor of the City of Playford, Glenn Docherty (2001) visited Blakeview on Australian National Flag Day and presented the school with a new Australian flag. He spoke to students about the history of the flag and National Flag Day, commemorates the first time the Australian flag was flown in 1901 when Prime Minister Edmund Barton announced the winners of the official Federal Flag Design Competition.

Senior students helped the ZONTA Club of Gawler pack 200 birthing kits for vulnerable women in developing countries. ZONTA International is a service organization with the mission of advancing the status of women.

Cyber Safety Expert Visits Trinity Australia’s foremost expert on cyber safety visited the College in September and delivered important, hard-hitting, direct messages about this topic to staff, students and parents. Susan reminded us of the significant challenges of keeping our kids safe online and provided startling insights into just how prevalent these issues really are. She also reminded staff and parents about checking their own behaviours to make sure we are not complicit in allowing our children to be involved in online activity that is against the law or places our children at risk. Key points to remember; • the legal minimum age for children to sign up to social media platforms is 13 years and parents opening an account for a child below the legal age or allowing them to lie about their age in order to sign up are committing a crime.

• the serious legal implications of sexting (the sending, possession of or solicitation of sexual images (nudes) and content) under Australian law and the laws relating to harassment and extortion. South Australian law is complex in this area, but Federal law is simple and says that sexting (even consensually) between persons under the age of 18 years, is illegal. Harassment (cyber bullying) and extortion (threats to share images online unless the person does something for the person making a threat) are illegal at any age. Just because the sharing of sexual content is common, does not make it legal or okay.

• apps on which content seems to disappear after a few seconds (eg, Snapchat) actually do not delete the content and that with reasonable cause, police can seize devices implicated in alleged crimes and directly retrieve this content from devices.

No screenshots are needed of material in order to prove that harassment, sexting or extortion has taken place, although it can be helpful to police in commencing an investigation in situations when someone has gathered this evidence.

• the excellent new service provided by the Office of the e-Safety Commissioner for reporting image based abuse and also for assisting people to resolve image based abuse issues. You can find this service at www.esafety.gov.au Susan also spoke to families about a market leading software system called Family Zone, for managing internet filtering, monitoring, and access. She strongly encouraged families to consider this system and to give a one month free trial a go. She noted that all Trinity families interested in buying into this product after such a trial could receive a ten percent discount by ordering online from her website Cyber Safety Solutions www.cybersafetysolutions.com.au Dr Lisa Kettler

RUOK? Day RUOK? Day was a reflective day where we learnt what to do when someone says they are not okay. The student leaders led the houses through a presentation with facts to support fellow students if they are faced with this situation. An additional activity was to encourage people to talk to others who they may not know. This activity had a positive outcome with lots of students learning new things about their peers. Following this activity students were offered a cupcake to brighten up their day.

On Monday 17 September the Italian community of Adelaide had the pleasure of listening to students from South School perform on Radio Italiana 531. The Junior Choir sang “Ad Alta Voce” and the song “Happy and Home among the Gum Trees”, whilst Year 7 students also presented their work emphasising that Trinity College has a zero tolerance to bullying.

The cupcake baking process took the duration of one lunch time, pastoral care, Year 10 food tech class and five hours after school. Although the process was a long one, it was a great bonding experience for all Blakeview leaders. The cupcakes left all students in a good state of mind and all were very grateful for the effort that the leaders put in.

Language of Friendship Workshop In August, families from across the College and the wider community attended a workshop on Friendology. This program was first trialled in 2015 and is now taught across the College. Rather than students negotiating the complexities of friendships through trial and error, Friendology provides an explicit framework for students to form healthy friendships. Friendology also gives students strategies to deal with conflict and insightful it was to be armed with and ‘mean on purpose’ behaviours. explicit tools to help guide their child towards forming healthy relationships.

Data collected before and after the implementation of the program has shown This partnership between school and parents continues to develop the ongoing its outstanding success.

Performing Experiences Year 9 Gawler River and South students kicked off the term with a Big Top experience at Cirkids, where they were challenged on a range of apparatus, including silks, lyre, trampolines, stilts and a range of balancing objects. Each student tried hard and it was great to see everyone achieve something and smile while doing it.

Students also attended a performance of the international sell out show “The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night Time”. This immersive and grand scale performance allowed the students to see a technical show of the highest calibre and explore inside the mind of a young boy with autism.

North and South Year 10 students enjoyed a day delving into performance, starting with a basic acting workshop lead by Annabel Matheson from the State Theatre Company.

They then headed to the city where they were inspired by some street art before a performance of Amphibian by the Windmill Theatre Company. The performance offered students an insight into the plight of the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors that are currently across the globe and what their perspective is on this issue.

Year 10 Drama students performed their short Commedia Performance to the Year 8 students in August. Students worked exceptionally well and were able to develop characters and put them in different scenarios, creating a performance in just two weeks.

While the storyline was a little difficult for the Year 8s to follow, the object of character creation and sustaining character was achieved, with a couple of humorous moments coming through. This group will create a memorable production during Term 4.

The South Soiree in Term 2 explored the theme of elevation and was an amazing showcase of our students. Year 10 music students shined and were supported with Year 9 Dance presenting pieces they have devised and Year 9 Drama rounded out the show and presented much needed and entertaining set changes. Funds raised by the Soiree supported the chosen charity Backpacks 4 SA Kids. Sue Gill generously donated her time and went shopping for some much needed items. Don’t miss the Term 4 Soiree which will be the last for Mr Bruce Raymond, where his unique contribution to the College will be celebrated.

SALA 2018 Year 8 Art students have looked at the work of Sol Le Witt who is considered an important conceptual artist. Le Witt’s conceptual practice was more significant than the materials and he was instrumental in the transition from the modern to the postmodern era.

Le Witt’s installation art consisted of lines, basic colours and simplified shapes.

For the SALA Exhibition Year 8 students collaborated to create an installation in the style of Le Witt who would design his installations according to formulae of his own invention, which hinted at mathematical equations and architectural specifications, but were neither predictable nor necessarily logical. The students had to negotiate ways to develop their installation project directly onto the gallery walls and reducing art to its essential elements, they drew with black pen and tape straight onto the wall. For LeWitt, this process was more direct than drawing on a sheet of paper that would later be hung in a gallery.

Young Archibald Finalist

Impressionism Mural

James Camilleri (Year 4) was one of the finalists of this year’s Young Archie competition, the junior version of Australia’s most famous portrait prize, the Archibald. Entrants are asked to draw or paint someone who’s important to them.

“The person I decided to draw a portrait of is Norm, my art tutor. I chose Norm as he is very special to me and has taught me drawing, sketching, painting and much more. I wanted to draw him as his face has a lot of character. In art class we listen to Fleetwood Mac and talk about things that interest us, like superheroes and movies.

I drew Norm in charcoal and it took me six hours.” said James. The sixth Young Archie competition attracted more than 1400 entries and the five finalists from each age category were displayed at the Art Gallery of NSW and the honourable mentions at the SH Ervin Gallery.

Trinity Reclaims Intercol Shield Every year in August, Trinity and St Michael’s College come together in the spirit of sportsmanship and collegiality to compete in open sports for the final games of the season. This year Trinity won back the Trinity/St Michael’s Intercol Shield after winning four of the five senior intercol games in thrilling fashion.

In the mostly hotly-contested round of games ever, Trinity won the netball by three goals, the basketball by seven points, the girls soccer 4-2 and the boys soccer 2-1, losing only the 1st XVII football in another thriller by only four points. All games were played in fantastic spirit. Thanks to all coaches, officials, staff and supporters who made the event such an enjoyable one. Trinity Intercol Medallists are Jimma Dau (basketball), Lachlan Mitchell (football), Ashleigh Schulz (netball), Emma Raschella (girls soccer) and Logan Marley-McFall (boys soccer).

Mr Rupert Sapwell Director of Sport

At the Mid North District SAPSASA Golf Championship Rebecca Hardy (Year 6) won the girls event, with Stephanie Keylock (Year 5) and Charlotte Tassell (Year 7) only one shot behind in second and third.

All three girls have qualified for the state final. In the boys section, Hamish Evers (Year 5) finished fourth and also qualified for the state final. This is the third year in a row that all female qualifiers from the midnorth have been Trinity students.

Additionally, at the School Sport SA Golf 15 and Under Championship, Tegan Hardy (Year 8) won the girls country division (gross), Amber Evers (Year 8) won the girls country division (nett) and Charlotte Tassell (Year 7) finished fourth in the country girls division (nett). Both Tegan and Amber have won places in the state team and will represent SA at the national championship in NSW in November. It’s fantastic that two of the four places in the state team are filled

by Trinity students!

Gold Gala Dinner a Glittering Success

The 2018 Trinity College Foundation Gold Gala Dinner once again attracted a diverse cross-section of our community who gathered in the Ian McLachlan Room at the Adelaide Oval to enjoy this special occasion on Friday 3 August.

Special guest speaker was Old Scholar and 2017 College Dux, Vinh Nugyen. Vinh is currently undertaking a double degree in Mechatronics and Computer Science at the University of Adelaide. Once a beneficiary of support from the Foundation Vinh spoke fondly of his time at Trinity and specifically the Foundation’s moto of ‘from little things, big things grow.’ He spoke about how this statement held special meaning for him as it has a real synergy with his own life experience and time at the College. Keen to pay this support forward, Vinh then

Unfortunately the women were knocked out in the elimination final.

The B Grade Men’s team had a great all round season which again allowed us to finish second, progressing into the finals.

A big win in the qualifying final meant that the men were off to a third straight grand final appearance looking to regain the flag after falling short last year.
