PRINCIPAL

Principal, Paul Sjogren

They say life doesn’t begin until 40, which is very exciting for the TAS community – no doubt our best days are still ahead of us! 2023 signals our 40th anniversary and sees the school going from strength-to-strength. Our 40-year birthday celebrations included Trinity Day, the TAS Gala Ball:80’s rewind, and a series of community events in Term 4 across both campuses to mark the milestone. It was wonderful to welcome back a number of old TAS friends, in particular, the founder of TAS, Mrs Naomi Wilson and her children, Ben Wilson Jr and Jenny Wilson.

WELCOME TO THE 2023 TRINITAS As I reflect on the year that was, I am struck by the resilience and positivity of our community. Your ability to weather pandemics, economic headwinds, and a constantly evolving society, with wisdom and common sense, provides our students with a wonderful foundation with which to learn and grow. The character of our students continues to impress and our culture reflects the core values we strive to align with.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a year at TAS without some remarkable achievements... From a large number of service projects, finishing 8th in the State for (primary and secondary) mathematics teams competition, receiving prestigious Australian Education Excellence Awards for ‘Best Independent Secondary School’ and ‘Best Co-curricular Program’, winning a 5-star National Innovation award, and being accreditation as a National SchoolAid School by the Governor General of Australia, we may be an outer-regional

With thanks...

In 2023, we saw the retirement of Chairman of the TAS Board, Mr Jason Fowler, who has led the School Board with distinction for 12 years.

We were able to honour and thank him for his selfless commitment and dedication to Trinity Anglican School at the Secondary Awards Ceremony. He has played a significant role in the growth and development of TAS and I am very grateful for his support and counsel.

year in review from the head of secondary

SECONDARY

Belinda de Guzman

As the pages of this academic year come to a close, it’s only fitting to take a moment to reflect on this journey filled with rich and rewarding experiences. This year marked not only my inaugural year but also a deep dive into a new community and culture. It has been a year of immersion, a baptism of fire that has brought challenges and triumphs.

A LOOK BACK ON 2023...

Getting to know TAS secondary students has been a privilege. Each is a unique individual, demonstrating their strengths and every achievement, big or small, has contributed to the rich narrative of White Rock Secondary.

The emphasis on tradition at TAS binds the community together. The warmth and welcome embedded in the culture of TAS have made it easy for me to call this place home. It is a culture that embraces diversity, encourages curiosity, and fosters an environment where every individual is celebrated for who they are.

Looking ahead, I am inspired and committed to preserving and nurturing the TAS culture. Our focus at TAS remains unwavering—to keep working on becoming the best version of ourselves, in all our facets and diversities. We celebrate

MAY THE COMING YEAR BRING MORE GROWTH, MORE CELEBRATION, AND CONTINUED SUCCESS. curiosity, perseverance, integrity, and compassion—values that not only guide us academically but shape us as individuals.

I extend my deepest appreciation to every student, educator, and staff member who has contributed to the White Rock Secondary Campus this year. May the coming year bring more growth, more celebration, and continued success.

THANK YOU

FAVOURITE MOMENTS

I am grateful to be surrounded by colleagues who are not just educators but lifelong learners, continually evolving to provide the best for our students. Often behind the scenes, I observe their dedication, tirelessly working to ensure that our students receive not just an education but a genuine connection and relationship to support their personal growth.

As the Head of Secondary School, my journey has been illuminated by countless highlights, but one event stands out vividly—the day of our Triathlon. It was an event I have not had the privilege to experience before in a school and really was a testament to the incredible culture we have cultivated here. It showcased mateship, encouragement, support, and a collective willingness to step out of our comfort zones. It was a day that I believe exemplified the spirit of our community.

VALEDICTORY TOAST FROM THE SCHOOL CAPTAINS,

By Myuri Gopalapillai & Rebecca Robinson Thank you to the students, teachers, parents, and staff who made our high school experience everything that it was.

We'd like to take a moment to reflect on our final year here at TAS, and the future that lies beyond for each and every one us.

So, let's take a step back, down memory lane And recall the journey where we planted the grain That grew and grew until now it can grow no more, Let's all go back, and through our past, we'll explore…

Year seven, first day, knowing not what lay ahead.

Through highs and triumphs, And through lows and tears shed.

We found our way and found ourselves, Made friendships and bonds, And built the shelves Upon which our schooling life is placed Along with textbooks and exams from along our ways.

We had our very first Sugarworld house day, And our daunting year nine camp, Together, we celebrated TAS's 40th birthday, And our year 12 passport was stamped With endless moments and memories to treasure, With every one of you, We shared great times and fun beyond measure, And the time tunnel we walked through.

And though externals are always nightmarish, We have made it through as we always do TAS Trinitas

We have faith in you all and we know you'll succeed.

We are so incredibly proud of you.

As we bid farewell, we look back and see, The journey we've had, so wild and carefree.

Through ups and downs, we've learned and grown, With friendships and memories forever sown.

Now we spread our wings, ready to take flight, To new adventures, chasing dreams so bright.

Though the path is unknown, we know it is hopeful, For we have friends to support us, to whom we are thankful.

As we journey on from this place, New adventures we'll soon embrace.

Though we part, our memories stay, Guiding us along life's way.

With gratitude, we bid adieu, To teachers, friends, both old and new.

Our paths diverge, but we won't forget, The journey here, a lifetime's debt.

So, let's look ahead with hopeful eyes, To futures bright 'neath boundless skies.

The journey continues, it's just begun, Congratulations, Class of 2023 we know you've won! As your 2023 TAS School Captains this journey has been of utmost pleasure and honour so from the bottom of our hearts Thank you.

FLASHBACK IN TIME

YOUNG ARTISTS

Straight lines, rows of desks, ink and chalk were the order of the day, as Year 2 stepped back in time to conclude their HASS studies and end the school year in ‘the olden days’. Students and teachers dressed in yesteryear clothing and lessons covered the Three R’s (Reading, Writing and Arithmetic), technical drawing for boys and sewing for girls. Students also shared homemade butter cake for morning tea before playing traditional games outdoors.

KBCP’s young artists proudly exhibited their work at the 2023 KBCP Art Show which celebrated another successful year of student art creation. Featuring original and imaginative Prep to Year 6 art pieces created during Art classes and Art Lounge workshops, the show coincided with the K – 2 Christmas and Years 3 to 6 Awards Assemblies which highlighted performances and achievements by choirs, ensembles, class groups and individual students.

INTERHOUSE

kennedy crocodiles

By Jessica Barker & Myles Britton, Mulligan Captains Our time as 2023 Mulligan Captains has been challenging, inspiring, exciting and very rewarding.

During our Year 12 Retreat, we engaged in House bonding and set the scene for the year ahead. We recognised the importance of vocalising to the House and new Mustangs that participating and trying your best is success itself, regardless of the outcome.

We finished the year on a high, as the mighty Mustangs fought hard to win the singing competition for the second year in a row. Performing, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, the Mustangs were unstoppable.

Seeing our close-knit House (family) work together made us very proud, as did seeing the Year 11 leaders step up Mulligan is in safe hands next year.

In line with our House motto - ‘Victory Through Unity’ – we set out to be the most united and spirited House.

We faced our first interhouse event of the year, the swim carnival. Although it was nerve racking having to step up as captains for the first time, the carnival ran smoothly, and we were proud of the House for participating to the best of their ability. The House’s efforts in preparing for the cheering competition were rewarded with a solid result.

As the school year ends, we celebrate the remarkable achievements and memorable moments that have defined our Kennedy House journey. Students have showcased their talents and tenacity in various competitions. Throughout it all, Kennedy students have exemplified bravery, passion, and unity. As we bid farewell to our senior crocodiles, we express our gratitude for their exceptional leadership and guidance. Their contributions have left an indelible mark on Kennedy House, and we wish them success in their future endeavors.

By Mrs Jessie-Lee Croghan, Kennedy Head of House

We are so grateful to be blessed with such an amazing family of support from both students and staff, but none of it would have been possible without the mightiest of leaders, Mr Haseldine. The man who consistently shows up, encourages us to achieve our goals. Mulligan House can achieve anything. GO MUSTANGS! This year was a great one for Kennedy and we have enjoyed being your Captains.

The beginning of the year kicked off with House Day, students across year levels got the opportunity to reconnect and we welcomed our Year 7’s to the Kennedy family. It was lovely to see the encouragement, especially at Trinity Day when even those not competing were cheering, which undoubtedly helped Kennedy win the Dash overall.

Through Launchpad Day and the Year 7 & 12 social we were able to get to know our Year 7’s. It was an amazing experience to be able to help them with their transition and become a dependable, friendly face for daily interactions. Witnessing the bravery of the Year 7’s as they tackled their first debate competition was admirable.The collective success of all the Year 7/8 teams was a proud moment for Kennedy.

As the year ends, we want to express our gratitude to the entire Kennedy House for making this year truly awesome. Best of luck to everyone at Kennedy next year – you’re in great hands.

DALRYMPLE DOLPHINS

INTERHOUSE

LEICHHARDT LIONS

By Sarah Warren, Dalrymple Head of House (Acting) A distinctive characteristic of Dalrymple students is their unwavering commitment to stepping beyond their comfort zones and embracing new challenges. This ethos was evident in our participation in interhouse sporting events, showcasing determination and sportsmanship.

From the challenging triathlon to the endurance-testing cross-country, the thrill of athletics, and the splash of the swimming carnival, Dalrymple House stood out not only for its competitive spirit and passionate cheers, but also by fostering a strong sense of unity and camaraderie. The articulate expressions in public speaking and debating showcased the depth of critical thinking, while the vibrant performance in the singing competition showcased cohesiveness that makes our House truly exceptional.

As we congratulate our students for a successful year and recognise that success is not just measured in victories but in the individual and collective growth achieved. Dalrymple House students are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone in pursuit of knowledge and personal development.

To the students of Dalrymple House, ensure you take a moment to reflect upon your personal accomplishments, celebrating both the significant milestones and smaller victories throughout the year.

May the lessons learned and friendships forged serve as a solid foundation for the exciting journey that lies ahead. Here’s to a year of growth, achievement and the unwavering united spirit of Dalrymple House!

TAS AQUATIC CENTRE REFLECTING ON OUR HISTORY Since it’s construction in 2000, the TAS Aquatic Centre has forged a legacy for driving and developing athletes of all ages. Over the years, we have welcomed incredibly talented coaches and swimmers whose passion and dedication are the driving force behind the strength of our programs.

Today, the centre thrives from the dedication of Alberto Lantieri - Head Coach, Doug Telford - Assistant Coach and Dionne Cotrel - Aquatic Centre Coordinator. In previous years, we have had many talented and passionate Head Coaches and Swimming Directors on deck, including Adam Luscombe, Andrew (Herbie) Howard, Michael Ursu, Morgan Knabe and Duncan Todd.

We thank these incredible coaches of national and international calibre, of whom have developed our powerhouse of swimmers.

THE AQUATIC CENTRE IN 2000 TAS Swimming members have been selected into the Swimming Australia Flippers, Junior Australian Swim Team, Queensland State Team, Swimming Queensland Flippers, Swimming Queensland Silver and Bronze teams and Swimming Queensland Youth Development Teams. More recently, swimmers have been selected to compete

at Olympic Trials (Ella Goddard, Ike Martinez and Lauren Morris) and International Events such as the World Aquatics Junior Championships and the Junior Pan Pacific Championships (Ike Martinez) who also currently holds a National Record for the fastest 13-yearold to swim a 200m Butterfly in Australia.

ACADEMIC

Andre Leroy on behalf of Tim Manea

2023 has been a whirlwind of excitement, challenges, and unwavering dedication from both staff and students, showcasing their curiosity and perseverance in their academic endeavours.

Reflecting on our journey over the past year, it is inspiring to see how our school community has navigated these times with dedication and spirit.

The announcement of Australian Curriculum version 9 marked a significant shift in our educational approach, and we thank secondary teaching staff who have prepared new assessment plans for implementation in 2024.

A notable development this year has been the rise of generative artificial intelligence which brings exciting possibilities that we are focused on harnessing for the comprehensive guidance on its responsible use.

Our Year 12 cohort of 2023 has demonstrated exceptional dedication, culminating in their impressive performance in external assessments.

At the time of writing, the feeling of accomplishment among these students

is palpable, and the anticipated ATAR results are a testament to their hard work and determination. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Year 12 students and encourage them to continue making a positive impact in their future endeavours. To the Academic Captains; Amber, Georgia and Rose – thank you for all your effort during the year – you have been fantastic!

The high level of academic effort and results from students at TAS continues to impress. Despite their active involvement in extracurricular activities, they remain determined to make the most of their schooling, constantly pushing themselves to achieve the best they can.

In addition to their academic achievements, our students have excelled in external benchmarks like NAPLAN and competitions such as the BLA Awards, ICAS, and the Australian Mathematics Competition. These successes highlight the diverse talents and capabilities of our students and our commitment to fostering a well-rounded education.

As this year comes to a close, we reflect on our achievements with pride and look forward to the opportunities and challenges of the new year.

Our commitment to providing an enriching and challenging educational environment remains steadfast, and we are excited to see what our students and staff will achieve in the future.

Breakfast with the Qld Chief Scientist JCU Science and Engineering Challenge We were invited to attend ‘Breakfast with the Qld Chief Scientist’ - Professor Bronwyn Harch at Crystalbrook Riley and were treated to some amazing presentations from innovative local scientists and businesspeople. Jennifer Monger, Shivansh Pranay and Lily Edwards were particularly inspired by Krista Watkins whose company makes a positive environmental impact producing flour from tonnes of waste banana skins.

KBCP CLASSROOM HIGHLIGHTS There were many highlights in music this year at KBCP. Toward the end of the year, Prep students were establishing the foundations of music, while Year 6 students used their musical knowledge to compose a group song/ rap for a local cause in the community with composed instrumental accompaniments.

For Year 5, the highlight, as always, was the STOMP group compositions using everyday objects – from well-coordinated basketball sequences with multiple ostinatos to kitchen and pool scenes with a variety of contrasting sounds.

Year 4 creatively composed and performed their own soundtracks for animated shorts and Year 3 drew a Songline inspired by the Rainbow Serpent which they then composed and performed a soundscape to go with.

At the K-Year 2 Presentation, students sang and danced to a variety of songs to celebrate Christmas and the end of a wonderful year.

Concluding our secondary school journeybased/expedition programs, the Year 10 Outdoor Education program allows students the autonomy to choose their preferred expedition. For the latter two expeditions, students took charge of planning and preparing their own food. Unfavorable weather conditions, including persistent rain during the canoe expedition and strong winds for the sailing expedition, added an extra layer of challenge this year. Gratitude is extended to the parents and staff who generously dedicated their time to enhance the outcomes of this program, and special thanks are given to South Passage for providing the sailing experience.

COINS FOR CHARITY WRCP celebrated Round Square’s annual “Coins for Charity Day” on Friday, March 10, raising funds for their sponsored child, Charity, through World Vision. Students and staff donated gold and silver coins, raising over $1230!

Congratulations to Prep J for raising the most amount of money.

Joining forces to fight hunger!

Last year, we were honored to receive an invitation to participate in the Eat Up Program. With more than 1 in 5 Australian children experiencing food insecurity, Eat Up is dedicated to nourishing hungry kids, empowering them to grow, learn, and thrive. As part of their Round Square service project, our dedicated group of student volunteers gathers weekly to prepare up to 1250 sandwiches. Once the sandwiches are ready, Eat Up takes charge, delivering these fresh and nutritious goodies along with healthy snacks to local schools.

The Eat Up initiative was initiated in 2013 when its founder, Lyndon, became aware of local children attending school without lunch. With the support of his mother and a few friends, he began making sandwiches to provide to these schools. Over the past seven years, Eat Up has grown to become Australia’s primary organisation providing free lunches to students nationwide. Together, we are making a difference, one sandwich at a time!

WRCP Round Square Committee led TAS students and parent helpers to Giangurra (Bessie Point) along the Yarrabah road to participate in a beach clean-up with Tangaroa Blue, where they collected 66.5kg of rubbish! Tangaroa Blue is a non-profit organization dedicated to removing and preventing marine debris. Students also heard about the significance of caring for our environment from the Rangers at the Djunbunji Land and Sea program before sorting the collected rubbish. Sorting the rubbish enables Tangaroa Blue to identify the source and engage the community in reducing rubbish before it enters our oceans.

DON’T CRY BECAUSE IT’S OVER, SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED

By Myuri Gopalapillai & Rebecca Robinson Hey, Graduating Class of 2023 - wow, that certainly has a ring to it!

It’s hard to believe that our 13-year voyage through the wild seas of school is finally ending. Say it to yourselves and let that sink in…13 years of schooling finished.

You, dear graduates, have journeyed through the highs and lows of academic and schooling life, and even though the teachers may find us as a pain most of the time, we couldn’t have asked for better people to spend our journey with. It has truly been a blast and as your captains we have cherished the experiences we’ve had together.

Congratulations on the immense hard work and perseverance you’ve shown through this difficult but very memorable year.

It still hasn’t quite sunk in that our shared adventure is fast approaching the final chapter. It feels like just yesterday we were navigating the intimidating waters of Prep, finishing our last day of Year 6, readying ourselves to embark on the three week Year 9 Outdoor Education program. And yet, here we are.

Remember that no matter where you end up in life, the friends, teachers and TAS community will forever be a part of who you are.

So, hold onto these connections for they are the true treasures you’ve gained on this educational journey.

Through all the difficult times, the late-night study sessions, the stress of exams and assignments or the endless drama, it’s fair to say that we would have all at some point us wished that Year 12 would come to an early end. Yet, now, as we approach our last days, we realize that every high and low has made this journey truly remarkable.

YOU’LL BE ON YOUR WAY UP! YOU’LL BE SEEING GREAT SIGHTS! YOU’LL JOIN THE HIGHFLIERS WHO SOAR TO HIGH HEIGHTS. As you set sail into the uncharted waters of the world, we’ll leave you with the words of Dr. Seuss, You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So.. get on your way! Your mountain is waiting, indeed, and it’s a sight to behold. It might be challenging to leave the comfortable shores; you may face countless obstacles along the way, but the horizon is filled with endless opportunities and adventures.

We can’t wait to come back in 10 years to see what we have all achieved.

With the wind in your sails, the memories of your journey, and the strength of the friendships you’ve built, we have no doubt that each one of you will conquer new horizons and leave your mark on the world.

So, to the Class of 2023... Congratulations! For one last time as your 2023 School Captains, it’s been a pleasure but for now Bon voyage.
