The building is being delivered through financial savings made and thus will not impact School fees moving forward, further enhancing the value for money of a Trinity education.

Trinity is a genuine leader in education because we do readily embrace change.

We look to serve our community in increasingly relevant ways. As Trinity grew we developed a strong emphasis on character development, service, academic proficiency (especially in literacy and numeracy), enabled technical skills and provided expansive co-curricular opportunity. In recent times a significant focus has been on promoting wellbeing.

Much of what we offer is still highly relevant today while other aspects of our academic program are being re-engineered and refocussed.

02 Trinity College Welcome

While the research around flexible spaces and improved learning outcomes is still in its infancy we do know when Trinity has long attempted to embed ‘values,’ and capabilities, into our graduates. schools combine new buildings, with new pedagogy, with cultural change and a clear Being service orientated or embracing strategic direction; effectiveness improves sustainable stewardship are two such significantly. This commitment to deliver qualities. Promoting resilience, being this asset is driven by a need to enhance goal focussed or possessing self-directed student capability and not to have a new learning skills are other qualities we have building as an end in itself. sought to embed via the broad Trinity experience.

The entire undertaking is much richer

These are exciting times for Trinity College.

Success

Given the enormous range of subjects available at Senior, this event empowers...

Quebec Bound

Year 12 student Harry Hall has been selected to represent Australia at the 2018 International Geography Olympiad (iGeo) in Quebec City, Canada in August.

The competition offers the top 16 to 19 year old students from around the world the opportunity to showcase their geography knowledge in an exciting four-day competition.

The Olympiad, not only tests students’ knowledge and understanding of geographic skills and concepts, but also aims to stimulate an active interest in geographical and environmental studies among young people and, at the global level, facilitate interactions between students from different countries.

Forty-seven countries have applied to be part of this highly contested international challenge. Harry said that he was “very excited about this fantastic opportunity.”

It is not only the opportunity to travel abroad and challenge themselves that students appreciate, but also the experience of meeting and making friends with students from all over the world.

Harry won his place on the team of four senior geography students after his outstanding performance in last year’s Geography’s Big Week Out (GBWO) an intensive six-day residential program with challenging geographical activities.

Students were selected for the GBWO based on their performance in the Australian Geography Competition.

Bottom left: Dr Rupert Thorne speaks to students about his career as a local GP. Bottom right: Students listening to nurse Kerry Smith (1997) at a Day in the Life.

A Day in the Life A Day in the Life is the annual Trinity College careers event when all Trinity Year 10 students have the opportunity to speak directly with professionals, from a wide range of occupations, about their day to day work life. From these personal interactions, students are able to gain an insight and clarify their thinking before they embark on the decision making process of mapping out a future study and career path.

Over 40 volunteer presenters, including Old Scholars, as well as current and previous parents attended, representing careers as diverse as hairdressing, zoo keeping, personal training, engineering, solicitor, journalist, game designer, small business owner, nurse, doctor and radiographer. The experience was once again warmly received by students who, rather than researching career information via the internet, benefited considerably from the opportunity of speaking directly to someone working in a career they are considering.

In addition, Trinity College VET Co-ordinator Claire Goble and representatives from UniSA were on hand in the Senior Hall to answer questions about study pathways after the presenter sessions. Given the enormous range of subjects available at Senior, this event empowers Trinity students to begin Year 11 with confidence.

Young Entrepreneurs Late in 2017 the North Junior School decided to focus its energy to fundraise for one day. The students organised a Junior School Fair which had refreshments for sale, games to play, quizzes to solve, a book stall and a creative photo booth.

This fair enabled students to learn about entrepreneurship as they ran incredible events which started with detailed planning including; ordering supplies, designing signage, organising cash floats, preparing food stalls, setting up on the day and packing down. The fair raised almost $2,000.00 for a variety of charities.

Trinity Makes History at Autumn Horse Show

ABOVE Year 10 students prepare to enter the air force jet simulator. Back: Destry Johnston. L-R: Victoria Elise, Sophie Fielke and Kasey Gepp.

Flying Jets at School The Australian Air Force simulator was on site at Trinity College during March so budding aviation students could fly jets in a virtual sky. The Air Force simulator was in South Australia for the Adelaide 500 V8 Supercar Race and made its way to Trinity College for a unique teaching and training experience.

The simulator requires a space of 5mx11m with six specialist staff taking students through a variety of experiences. Students were hand-selected from Years 10-12 and undertook three sessions each from 9am-3pm.

ABOVE Left: Lachlan Yates, Matilda Wilkin and Zoe Zekov with Standard bred horse Ted.

Right L-R: Alycia Jamison, Annabelle Brooks, Mackenzie Geister, Tahlia Jamison and Caitlin Bentley with Shetland pony Harry.

Trinity College made history by becoming the first school in South Australia to exhibit in both hand and ridden classes at the Royal Adelaide Autumn Horse Show event.

Ten students along with two horses, Ted and Harry, attended the event at the Wayville Showgrounds that is considered one of the premier events on the state equestrian calendar.

The simulator is part of a motivational program used to develop interest among students in aviation careers including pilot, air combat officer and air traffic controller.

The experience consisted of an immersive Super Hornet simulator, air traffic control games, virtual reality experience, aircrew life support gear demonstrations and a variety of aviation presentations.

Trinity College Equestrian Club Co-ordinator Helen Barnes reports “It was a fabulous day.

The students were an absolute delight and did themselves, their parents and the College proud. They were all supportive of one another, showed wonderful manners and worked beautifully as a team.”

Trinity achieved wins or places in eight of the 12 classes in which we exhibited gaining five first places, two second places and one third place. “We did the ground work but had no idea what we were going to be up against on the day, so the fact that we did so well was just wonderful.”

The students who competed were Sage Boyle (Year 4), Lachlan Yates (Year 7), Caitlin Bentley (Year 6), Alycia Jamison (Year 2), Tahlia Jamison (Year 2), Ava Wilkin (Year 4), Annabelle Brooks (Year 2) and Zoe Zekov (Year 12) with Matilda Wilkin (Year 2) and Mackenzie Geister (Year 3) as our very helpful strappers.

Community Student Voice with Local Council The Town of Gawler places high importance on young voices and is in the midst of reviewing the Youth Development Plan for the region. They asked students to participate face to face to see how they are tracking, what’s being done well, and what could be improved.

The review occurred in two stages. Stage 1 which occurred in October 2017 where a number of Trinity Senior students attended.

They provided Council with valuable feedback helping identify the main themes needed to be focused on for Youth in the region including: • Transitioning to Senior School, and then to Adulthood (life skills required) • Mental Health & Wellbeing • Environment • Knowing what’s happening in Gawler • Access to age appropriate spaces in the Community Stage 2 in April 2018 had Year 9 students taken through a series of engagement activities to clarify exactly what Council and other youth organisations in the region should focus on over the next 5 years. Students enjoyed working with Ebony Steadman, Youth Development Officer and her team from the Town of Gawler.

Lion Dancers Shine at Lunar New Year Celebrations The Trinity College Lion Dance Troupe and the Blakeview Fan Dancing Fairies were honoured to be invited to kick start Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations with a number of performances in Chinatown. Their combined inaugural performances were unique and sensational and very much appreciated by the crowd.

There were a number of VIPs in attendance including the Governor of South Australia, The Honourable Hieu Van Le AC; former Premier of South Australia, Jay Weatherill MP and new Premier of South Australia and former Opposition Leader Steven Marshall MP. The troupe and fairies did so well they were congratulated personally by a Chinese performing organisation, The Shanghai Empireast Culture Group/China Drum Opera House.

Bullying No Way! On Friday 16 March, Australian schools united to celebrate the eighth National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence. The event is a key anti-bullying event for schools and this year schools were called to imagine a world free from bullying and share their big ideas. All Trinity school’s marked this extremely successful and empowering day by student participation in numerous activities that encouraged stamping out anti-social behaviour and negating its effects through education and resilience.

At Senior the student body participated in an activity where they placed their handprints on a blank canvas to symbolise their support and pledge against bullying, as well as a commitment to stand together.

Year 12 student comments included “this was a good way to reflect and get students to acknowledge the issue of bullying”. “The student body’s enthusiasm could be easily felt and there was a true sense of togetherness.” These comments are extremely heart-warming and truly inspires a sense of hope for the school community and displays our wonderful school spirit.

Friendology Empowers Kids Friendology 101 is an internationally recognised skills-based, social and emotional learning programme, recently implemented at Trinity College that helps build children’s skills in fostering and maintaining healthy friendships.

Over the course of this term Gawler River students in Years 1 to 6 have participated in Friendology sessions in class that have helped them to improve language and self-confidence as well as develop skills to be better friends and build healthier relationships.

The programme has been well received by the Junior students and, as the Heads of Pastoral Care, it has been delightful to witness more and more students voice their feelings, create healthy friendships and build a solid foundation for future relationships.

“Friendology helped me solve problems in the yard and I found it enjoyable to learn.” Dakota Gaskin (Year 5) “Friendology helps you with everyday life situations.”

Popi Ieropoulos (Year 5) “I can remember it for when I need it later, it has helped my confidence.”

Erin Doudle (Year 5) “It helps me make new friends and improves my friendships with the friends I already have.” Elijah Wotton (Year 3) “Friendology helped me learn how to make more friends.”

Kypton Price (Year 2) It is hoped that by imbedding this programme at Trinity, we will maintain an inclusive and constructive school culture that promotes positive mental health, wellbeing and kindness. Early Years students will begin the Friendology programme later in the year.

ABOVE Commuting around this capital city on a bicycle was an unexpected achievement for all of us on the China tour.

Surviving Cycling in China During the recent school holidays 20 students and three teachers participated in the biannual China Trip. Our intrepid travellers were greeted with fine weather and marvellous Chinese hospitality throughout the adventure.

“Before seeing the warriors, we entered a small souvenir shop where Mr Yang awaited us, the man who discovered the Terracotta Warriors whilst he was digging for water in the 1970s. We were also very lucky to get the opportunity to shake his hand.” Jahnai and Kayla

The one week homestay gave students the opportunity to live as part of a Chinese family and attend Beijing #8, our partner school in Beijing. Students participated in normal classes at the school along with traditional activities such as table tennis, Kung Fu (including sword fighting), Diabolo (Chinese yo-yo), calligraphy and traditional Chinese art classes. Riding a bicycle to school in Beijing everyday was a challenge.

“At the Summer Palace we witnessed breathtaking views of a lake, accompanied by vibrant coloured and decorated boats, many trees and buildings blended in the distance. We walked down the longest corridor in Asia and had the opportunity to ride a dragon boat which took us across the lake to the other side where we got off. As we walked down the streets, we were greeted by countless rickshaws lined up waiting to be ridden by us. The driver was incredibly nice. Although there was a language barrier, he tried his hardest to communicate with us and show us around while we were travelling through the streets.” Linda

Throughout the 17 day stay, students also visited a number of iconic Chinese landmarks including Xi’an, the home of the Terracotta Warriors, Beijing, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Shanghai and of course the Great Wall of China.

“The streets of the city are very beautiful as they are filled with plants and flowers. Despite the squashed and not-so-luxury conditions on the train, we still managed to have heaps of fun and laugh non-stop!”

“My favourite moment occurred in Jing Shen Pi which is a hill located just near the Forbidden City. Walking through the Forbidden City you really hadn’t got a sense of the scale and beauty of the city but, climbing up Jing Shen Pi gave you an aerial view and you got to see the sunlight shining off the golden roofs. It was very special.” Mitchell

The Trinity App is Coming Many parents in Senior and Middle school are accessing information through Schoolbox about their child’s assessment, timetables, news bulletins, calendars and more. Later this year, to improve this access and have information delivered directly to your phone, the Trinity App will be launched with Digistorm Education.

It will have a simple ‘Trinity icon’ for you to click to land on a dashboard and access valuable links, timetables, calendars, receive notifications and bulletins all aimed to improve the flow of information to you.

This trip has definitely impacted my perspective and I hope that I can continue to feel inspired

Faith in Action

Trinity2Cambodia Mission Trip A team of 16 students were accompanied by staff members Michelle Heath, Rev’d Dave MacGillivray and Vickie Lester on the fourth annual Trinity2Cambodia Mission Trip that departed Adelaide in December last year. During this trip the team connected with a variety of organisations to see the different ways help and hope is offered to the Cambodian people – helping them to help themselves.

The team visited the maternal health and ophthalmic focus of the 2H Project, micro-finance and child protection projects with Friends International and spent a day at a performing arts school in Battambang. They were also very fortunate to spend a day with MAG International seeing first-hand the important work the organisation continues to undertake removing land mines, long after the war was declared over.

The trip aims to foster in students an understanding of what it means to think globally while acting locally, as well, what it means to support others in an ongoing and sustainable way.

Participants were required to cover all their own personal expenses, including travel, accommodation and food costs.

Additionally, all participants were asked to fundraise a minimum

of $1,000 each to support the projects they visited. It is hoped this experience will give students a new sense of purpose and direction for how they can contribute and help others. There is no doubt the trip is a life changing experience.

“I learnt that despite how much the people have experienced, they continue to positively move on. I learnt how much I really enjoy helping others and have just appreciated how lucky we are to have what we do.

I want to take back to Australia the lesson that, a little bit really can go a long way and that there are so many organisations working under the radar.” Caitlyn Bugeja (Year 12) “This trip has taught me so many valuable lessons that I hope to carry with me throughout my life. Lessons that stood out to me the most are; appreciate the simple things, immerse yourself in the moment, never ignore the past, a smile can change someone’s day, children are NOT tourist attractions, be proud of your home no matter how big or small, it’s yours and it holds the people you love, kindness goes a long way, don’t be a hero but a helper, create a sustainable future, listen and you will learn and money will never buy happiness. This trip has definitely impacted my perspective and I hope that I can continue to feel inspired and remember the feelings I experienced whilst in Cambodia as my life back in Australia continues.” Caley Watt (Year 12)

Arts

Students were shown the traditional method of ink and brush painting used by artists for centuries

Chinese Artist in Residence Over the course of Week 5 and 6 in Term 1, Chinese artist Zhao Liang visited each R-10 campus, working with Middle School students to create Chinese ink paintings and calligraphy.

At North, Zhao’s session ran for three lessons with both Year 9 Art and Year 9 Chinese students involved in an exciting crosscurricular initiative. Zhao began with the basics of how to hold a Chinese ink brush and correctly dip it into the ink. Students were also shown how to care for these brushes, which are made from goat hair. With these skills established, students began practicing basic calligraphy, learning how to write the characters for the numbers 1-10. Some students also practiced writing their own names in Chinese, which they found both challenging and enjoyable.

In the second part of the session, Zhao demonstrated how to create traditional Chinese ink drawings of bamboo, fish in the ocean and pandas. Using a technique where the brush was loaded with both a watery ink on its body, and an undiluted ink on its tip, students learned how to create tonal graduations within their image by holding the brush on its side. This proved to be the most popular aspect of the workshop, and students enjoyed adding subtle colour to their ink drawings.

Year 7 Visual Arts students at Blakeview were provided instruction by artist Zhao Liang spanning two weeks. Students were shown the traditional method of ink and brush painting used by artists for centuries in Chinese Art. Zhao provided examples of typical Chinese motifs, such as the flower, and students attempted to make marks holding the brush in a non-Western way. They found this challenging but also rewarding when they experienced success in their own imagery.

At Gawler River, Year 9 students also spent three lessons learning how to create traditional Chinese ink paintings. These students focussed on the painting of bamboo, and experimented with the use of traditional Chinese handmade red paper to paint upon.

Similarly, South Year 10 students also spent half a day focussing on acquiring traditional ink painting and calligraphy skills.

Zhao’s painting workshops gave all students involved a valuable insight into the methods, materials and techniques used in traditional Chinese Art. And, as well as addressing criteria within the Australian National Curriculum, activities such as this continue to enable students to learn first-hand about a culture other than their own, providing valuable insights into the world around them.

2018 Ballarat Exchange Due to some flight delays earlier in the morning (Melbourne fog), our nutritional preparation was perhaps a little questionable with some of the team choosing a pre-match Maccas meal. Following some bus sing-alongs and entertainment we arrived at Ballarat Grammar with confidence.

Considering the hit out was our first Netball game of the season we couldn’t be prouder of the girls and how they conducted themselves on the court. However, Miss Gaskell couldn’t have been more right about the talent of Ballarat Grammar. Despite the scoreboard result, our team showed positivity and determination, never giving up. It took us probably half a game to get into the flow of things, adjust to their game pace and work together as a team. We faced a physically stronger and more polished side who showed us how much work we have to do to prepare ourselves for the season ahead.

was definitely one of the trip highlights. We were able to meet the versatile, AFLW Footballer and Super Netball League player, Ash Brazill who was our tour guide.

SchoolTV is now Available for Parents We are pleased to announce a new resource called SchoolTV for Trinity parents. This resource is designed to help you navigate the challenges parents face to raise happy, healthy and resilient children.

There are many demands on families and children that make the job of parenting even harder than in previous generations.

It can help if parents feel informed with clear, fact-based information on the many challenges faced by today’s youth. Topics such as youth anxiety, depression, selfharm, drug and alcohol use, cyberbullying and many others need clear explanation and guidance.

Each edition of SchoolTV will address a major topic with expert interviews, fact sheets, parent quiz, recommended apps, books and much more. SchoolTV aggregates information from many great resources such as BeyondBlue and ReachOut, amongst others. SchoolTV provides a single stream of independent factual information that saves parents time and confusion of searching online across multiple sites for information.

You can access the SchoolTV archive any time on our Trinity website and on Schoolbox.

STARplex Fundraising Fun

The Fitness Centre is gearing up to launch Reshape II and Reshape III – the amazing 8 week body transformation challenge that inspires you to achieve the body, mindset and lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Everybody who joins has different goals, different likes and dislikes when it comes to health and exercise – which is why the flexibility STARplex offers its ‘Reshapers’ makes the world of difference when it comes to achieving those goals, but also maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle over time.

The success of the challenge is working closely with our qualified personal trainers, one on one or in a small group. Nutrition, exercise, health/fitness measurements and emotions are tracked in your Reshape diary, along with a closed Facebook support group for instant ideas and advice. Using Facebook permits trainers to share recipes, training guidance, achievements and videos with clients to ensure enthusiasm levels stay high.

Helen was our previous Reshape challenge winner in 2017. She has continued to lose a total of 20kgs by visiting STARplex three times a week – this time commitment is so achievable. Her success is a combination of a customised nutritional plan and exercise.

Trinity Old Scholars Cricket Club The Trinity Old Scholars Cricket Club’s eleventh season was one of the most successful in the club’s growing history.

The season saw the club earn promotion to A2 after finishing minor premier and then winning the Grand Final defeating Golden Grove in a thriller. Eythan Barraclough was the skipper, with Alistair Forwood the coach. Victory in the premiership decider followed Brad Cameron winning the A3 Player of the Year Award, the second consecutive year a Trinity Old Scholar player had taken the honour. Spinner, Jarryd Furnell also won the competition’s bowling award, having taken the most wickets for the season.

In another on-field positive, our C Grade made their first ever Grand Final (having

played in five straight semi-finals), earning promotion to C4. Unfortunately, Matt Knox’s team didn’t win the big dance but they can be proud of their efforts. Our B grade finished within a wicket of also reaching the Grand Final. The clubs also introduced women’s cricket for the first time this season, with Brooke Moreland captain and Brad Schaper as coach.

Moreland also won the leading run-scorer award for the competition. Finally, in another landmark for our club, the 2017/18 season was the first year that TOSCC was able to use the Trinity Pavilion. We are very thankful to all who contributed to the development of this facility, which will help us continue to grow as a club. To learn more about our club, visit the new website
