MY
PAUL SJOGREN PRINCIPAL

WELCOME
to the
As the post-Covid era emerges, I am humbled by the calibre and achievements of members of the TAS community.
Parents are aware of our modern curriculum, balanced between foundational knowledge and 21st-century skills crucial to future success within an advancing digital environment. Our culture of learning encourages academic curiosity and perseverance, and our results clearly reflect this. But a truly holistic education demands a breadth of experience and learning.

This year’s Trinitas theme, ‘In Our Element’, strives to provide a picture of this breadth.




I am passionate about the continued development of our Outdoor Education Program. Politicians and pundits worry about the resilience of our youth and their ability to bounce back from adversity.

I am lucky enough to spend time visiting our outdoor education programs and watching our students, put simply, cope with adversity. Not just cope, but often thrive in an unfamiliar environment when
faced with challenges, while learning to work together, tolerating difference and showing initiative.




Inspi ri n g th e c u ri o u s
When I reflect on the year, I am so proud of our community and the compassion and generosity displayed, particularly during the Ponytail Project. In a completely student-led initiative, our School Captain Aurelia Wood, along with fourteen of her peers and three brave teachers, fundraised tirelessly for Cancer Council Queensland, before chopping off their ponytails. They raised over $28,000 for the cause and donated their hair to sustainable salons to be made into wigs for those affected by cancer. Watching the community gather to support such a worthy cause will always be inspiring.

Watching the Kewarra Beach Kindergarten students engage in nature-based learning in Wallaby Park.
TAS












The inaugural TAS Goes M.A.D (Music, Art and Drama Festival). A wonderful showcase of the growing TAS performing arts program.
TAS students continue to shine in many academic fields. Our Year 12 STEM results are some of the strongest in Queensland, we continue to be recognised for our leading chess program, our journey to become a Microsoft Showcase school is starting to take shape, and increasing numbers of students are now competing in global academic competitions.
We said farewell to Ms Joanne Baker, our Head of Secondary, who was a transformational leader in her time at TAS. We are excited to welcome Ms Belinda de Guzman as our new Head of Secondary in 2023. Our growth and success is only possible due to the passion and commitment of our staff. I am so proud to lead a school with such an outstanding team.

My thanks to the Board of Directors, in particular the Chair, Mr Jason Fowler, and to the wonderful Senior Leadership Team for their commitment and vision. Thank you to our parents for your continued support and commitment. Achieving great things is only possible within this strength of community.
I wish you all an enjoyable and safe summer break and look forward to another great year in 2023.
JOANNA BAKER



HEAD OF SECONDARY SCHOOL
It has been my pleasure and privilege to be a part of the TAS Community over the past two years - a time of tremendous growth and change. Our secondary students have experienced a ‘oncein-a-lifetime’ pandemic at a formative stage in their lives, and the challenges that have come with this have been immense. Nonetheless, they have shown their capacity to cope with uncertainty, and demonstrated empathy for others less fortunate than themselves.
Working with TAS students, and particularly the Class of 2022, has taught me that
young people are far more resilient than we give them credit for. The world that they are growing up in is fundamentally different to the world of previous generations. The explosion of ‘inputs’ and connectivity enabled by the online world requires a level of self-control and self-awareness that most adults struggle with.











Yet the students of TAS who I have had the privilege of working with have shown incredible maturity and optimism in the face of these challenges. They have shown they are capable of connecting, organising and mobilising each other to solve problems and work towards a better future.
In 2022, this was exemplified by the Year 12 Ponytail Project fundraiser. Entirely student-led, the participants raised over $28,000 for Cancer Council Queensland. I particularly acknowledge the leadership of School Captain Aurelia Wood in driving this initiative.
Throughout my time at TAS, my proudest moments have been when students have taken the initiative to step up–whether to support a friend, call out injustice, solve a problem or drive change. It’s been my privilege to work alongside and learn from the incredible students and educators at TAS over the past two years.
YEAR 12 CAPTAIN FAVOURITE MEMORIES FROM 2022
Trinity Day tug-o-war, especially Mr Pacey’s commentary.
The day the class of 2022 mural went up at school. It was incredible to see the space come to life and share a message with the school.
Mulligan’s TAS Goes M.A.D store being a hit and selling out in an hour.












Moving into the Year 12 area was a huge milestone for our cohort.
Our Year 12 journey began with two weeks of online school due to COVID. Thankfully, we were able to finish the rest of the year on campus without interruptions.
The COVID lockdown also postponed the Year 12 retreat, which was moved to Goomboora Park before days of bad weather forced plans to change again. We eventually spent the day at school and had plenty of fun bonding with our house groups.
There was a lot to be juggled right from the get-go, from assessments and the Lion’s Youth of the Year speaking competition, to planning for assemblies and writing speeches. We were able to better understand the meaning of leadership through our own experiences.
Senior dinners, interhouse carnivals and free dress days added much colour and enjoyment for the Year 12 students. And in a blink of an eye, we passed on our responsibilities to the incoming captains as we prepared for our final exams.


I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a School Captain in 2022 and the opportunity to influence some aspects of the school and be a part of bringing about change in little ways.
I am most proud of helping organise and lead Reconciliation Week. It was a special moment to see the students participate in activities and immerse themselves in culture. Another notable mention would be the 2022 Ponytail Project. I am so proud of what we were able to achieve, raising $28,000, and the impact that it is going to have on the lives of so many people. I think setting new records for the school to aspire to is essential, and without a doubt I know the girls next year will raise even more.

PRIMARY
The staff at TAS Kewarra Beach Primary are proud to have achieved accreditation as a Primary Outdoor Learning Education Provider and as a National SchoolAid School.

In recent years we have focused on teaching and assessing the Australian Curriculum both inside and outside the classroom, while also teaching students about the value of philanthropy and entrepreneurship through student-led Round Square projects and the annual Charities Fair event. We have demonstrated that we are committed to teaching our students that learning is life-long, and this occurs across all indoor and outdoor environments, at all times, not just in a classroom.
At TAS Kewarra Beach Primary, we inspire the curious. Our goal is to use our unique environment to tap into students’ natural curiosity and improve learning outcomes, while encouraging the formation of environmentally and socially responsible practices. Our natural bushland setting, abundant wildlife, indoor-outdoor programs, and focus on service and solving real world problems, provide opportunities for our Prep to Year 6 students to engage with and learn from each other and their natural world as part of their ACARA-based, academic program.
Encouraging students to develop environmentally and socially responsible habits and an appreciation of the Round Square IDEALS of environmentalism and service underpin our learning culture and campus schedule. As opportunities for children to engage with the natural world diminish, so does their physical and mental health. The right of all children to be active, curious learners, forming ageappropriate problem-solving and risk management skills is no longer a given.
As the needs of our children change, so must schools. At TAS Kewarra Beach Primary, we prioritise teaching students about the value of philanthropy, entrepreneurship and the environment. These essential, evidence-based, 21st-century teaching and learning pedagogies enable academic success and promote wellbeing, an awareness of sustainable and socially responsible practices, and compassion for others and all living things.
We believe that as a Primary Outdoor Learning Education Provider and National SchoolAid School with a strong, successful and innovative Prep to Year 6 academic program, we are empowering our students to become the environmentally and socially conscious scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and leaders of the future.





On the first day of school, we received our school captain badges and got to wear them for the first time. We were very proud. For our first event as captains, we were invited to the Prep Open evening to show parents around and talk to them about TAS.
Being invited to open the Mother’s Day breakfast with a speech was a special morning, as we all know how important our mums are. At Charities Fair, we were invited to be part of the Round Square discussion to decide how the event would work and where we should donate our funds. It was interesting working in the team group with the Round Square captains. The Book Week Parade was amazing. There were so many costumes, from Prep to Year 6. Along with Liana, we made announcements as the children paraded around in their amazing costumes. Trinity Day was a big day as we travelled over to White Rock and gave a speech along with other school captains.
During our last year at Kewarra Beach Primary, we were proud to open the Christmas Markets and roam around with all the younger children. Throughout the year, we enjoyed giving speeches at each assembly and gave out certificates to the winners of the class awards, shaking their hands and congratulating them.


We have many great memories as captains and can’t wait for the years ahead.
OUR FAVOURITE MEMORIES FROM 2022









The Prep–Year 2 Swimming Carnival, where we had an opportunity to help the kids with their swimming.
Cross Country Carnival and other interhouse competitions.

HEAD OF WHITE ROCK CAMPUS PRIMARY
2022 has proven to be an awardwinning year for White Rock Campus - Primary (WRCP). Winning the Educator Award for ‘Best Primary School of the Year’ and the ‘5 Star Innovative Schools Award’ is a testament to the hard work of the staff at this campus.



Here at WRCP, we have a focused welfare program, exceptional teachers, a broad range of co-curricular activities, and a disciplined, nurturing learning environment. In every aspect, we strive to develop in each student the pursuit of academic excellence with exceptional results, selfconfidence, community service and leadership.




The development of the whole child continues to be a focus, which has seen positive growth development in so many areas for our students. The community atmosphere as shown at our recent Community Carnival is back to its vibrant self and, given the growth of the primary school, is bigger than ever. The relationships between students, staff, parents and the community are highly valued. Through these strong relationships, combined with effective communication, our teachers know and understand each child and help them build resilience. In this way, learning is personalised as we focus on the individual student with the goal of developing the whole child.

Winning the 2022 Excellence Award for Primary School of the Year & the 5-Star Innovative School Award.

He helped stretcher an injured hiker 1.7 km to safety, including a creek crossing, alongside Fire & Rescue and Queensland Ambulance Service members. Last month, his SES team also assisted the Queensland Police Service during the search for a lost hiker on Mount Bartle Frere. This was the hardest search and rescue undertaken by his unit, and Brandon was handpicked because of his fitness and skills. At the Special Children’s Christmas Party, children and families had a great time taking photos with Brandon in his role as an SES mascot. Other tasks that Brandon performed as a volunteer included providing temporary roof repairs to leaking homes and clearing fallen trees with a chainsaw to give residents access to and from their properties.

The most notable moments to mention would be the Interhouse Swimming Carnival and having everyone cheering their hearts out and united as one team. I would follow this up with the Interhouse Singing Competition. Mulligan blew it out of the park. It was incredible to see everyone's enthusiasm and excitement, and I think the hard work and passion Mulligan is built upon was reflected on the day.

HEAD OF TEACHING & LEARNING
2022 has certainly been a year of excitement, challenges, resilience and perseverance by all staff and students at Trinity Anglican School. We began the year in lockdown, saw a surge in COVID and flu cases during Terms 1 and 2, some staff and students departed while others arrived, major infrastructure changes occurred, new laptops were delivered, and generally, the business that is TAS continued.
TEACHING & LEARNING IN REVIEW












With all of the exciting changes and challenges that have been presented to us, staff, students and the entire TAS community have thrived. Staff have developed new skills in the delivery of the curriculum as we move towards developing ourselves as a Microsoft Showcase school. Students have expanded in their capacity to learn through our new COSMOS pastoral program, and the TAS community as a whole has found a way to maintain focus and support each other. As a leader at TAS, I have been hugely impressed with the positive attitudes that all at TAS have displayed.
I wish all our graduating Year 12s in the Class of 2022 the very best for the future. You have put the hard work in and will reap the rewards. Go out and make a difference in this world. And to my two Academic Captains, Diya and La Bella, once the exams are over and the ATARs are released, put your feet up and take time to reflect – you have been great!

APART FROM THE FABULOUS ARRAY OF ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR IN OUR CLASSES DAILY, OUR STUDENTS WERE OUT AND ABOUT AND MADE THE MOST OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WERE PRESENTED IN 2022.
The JCU Science and Engineering Challenge was attended by sixteen Year 10 students who worked in groups on a variety of activities. They constructed bridges, designed and tested a Mars Rover and built bionic hands.



The Cairns Business Liaison Association in conjunction with the UQ Wonder of Science program provided the chance for students to hear about some fascinating research UQ Science Ambassador Adam Hines is involved in for his PhD studies. A neuroscientist, Adam provided an informative account of his research into the effect of general anaesthesia on our brains and how it makes surgeries possible.
The Santos Science Experience was enjoyed by Year 9 students Joanna Chen, Raphael Springall, Max Lauchlan, Nathan Turnbull and James Nguyen. Their challenge was to use principles of science, technology, engineering and maths to propose new ideas on how to deal with food wastage in an agricultural setting. They visited farms on the Atherton Tableland and were introduced to some of the innovative ways that farmers have made their agricultural practices more efficient and sustainable. In Joanna’s words: 'It was informative seeing how banana and avocado farms manage their waste, and it’s really thought-provoking. You meet many new people, and the team-building is lots of fun.'


STEM FAVOURITE MEMORIES












The escape room activity with Year 10 students during Science Week was a frantic and at times hilarious activity.
Year 11 Biology Field Trip. We had a great time gathering data from transects amongst the mangroves at Holloways Beach Environmental Education Centre.
Year 8 Science in Term 4. We had fun discussions as we tackled our reproduction unit.

The Forensics Incursion was a highlight for Year 7 and 9 students during Science Week, as was the annual visit to Cairns Aquarium for Year 7 students. Year 10 students competed in an escape room activity to round out the week, with much enjoyment and good-natured competition on display.


















Year 10 Biology students enjoyed gathering data from their experiments growing tomato seedlings.
Year 10 STEM students had a fabulous time visiting Fitzroy Island. I’ll end this report with some words from Lara Turnbull: 'This term, the Year 10 STEM class spent one Friday exploring the natural wonders and human impacts on Fitzroy Island. We visited the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre to learn about floaters syndrome and to meet some of their in-house residents. With an approximate 90% success rate with all their patients, it was great to hear that almost all the turtles who arrived in need of care, would eventually be released back into the ocean. We were also provided with the amazing opportunity of a snorkel tour and glass-bottom boat tour around the coast of the island to view tropical fish, different types of corals and other marine life. This is where we learnt about the Eye on the Reef app, a citizen science project. This trip was an amazing experience for us to learn about the incredible ecosystem that surrounds us – the Great Barrier Reef.'

LANGUAGES & THE ARTS




FACULTY - LANGUAGES & THE ARTS








2022 has been another busy but fulfilling year for Languages and the Arts at TAS. From TAS Goes M.A.D to some outstanding achievements by students, it will be hard to beat next year.

Thank you to those families and students who supported the Arts and joined our first community event after the COVID lockdowns. I am hoping TAS Goes M.A.D will become an annual event and continue to showcase the amazing talents of our artists, performers and musicians.
The countdown has begun to our first Japan Trip in five years, and I will be escorting 21 TAS students from Years 10-12 on a 14-day trip to take in the language, culture and, of course, cuisine. Student interest and engagement in Japanese has increased over the past few years and it is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience first-hand much of what they have learned during lessons. We will certainly be 'In Our Element' as we travel to Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo.

MUSIC IN REVIEW












SUE STITT, HEAD OF FACULTY

2022 was a year of growth and development in the Music Department.
We started with an excellent workshop weekend, lead by a guest tutor from Ipswich, Jonathan Farquhar. The Orchestral Band, made up of expanded numbers from last year, continued to rehearse weekly in the Bishop Centre and played one of our favourite pieces from the workshop, 'Warrior Legacy', at Trinity Day.
Another highlight was the TAS goes M.A.D event where ensembles and rock bands had the chance to play a range of popular music ranging from TAS Strings playing 'Can you feel the love tonight?' to the Orchestral Band playing 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.
In Term 4, members of the Middle School Band joined the Orchestral Band, providing a large ensemble for our Award's Night performance and preparing players for the challenge of stepping up to the more advanced group in 2023.

MS ANNA LONG
We've had a busy year of music at KBCP, from recitals, choir performances at assemblies and community events, to end-of-year concerts. Throughout the year, we enjoyed performances by our rock bands, led by the talented Connor Reid. Each class from Years 1–6 also participated in informal class concerts, along with more formal performances for assessment tasks. In Years 3–6 Electives, we tried out some new music technology equipment, created bush band instruments and learnt more advanced bucket drumming skills. After re-introducing Ukulele Club earlier in the year, many of our students progressed to a ukulele band, performing for the first time at the end of the year. OUR FAVOURITE MEMORIES FROM 2022

OUTDOOR EDUCATION



Firstly, we wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which our programs are conducted and pay respects to their elders past, present and emerging. We thank them for their incredible stewardship of our environment over thousands of generations.
In 2022, with the exception of the modified Year 12 program due to COVID regulations, we were fortunate to be able to run all of our regular programs, including 12 year-level programs, an 8-day Duke of Edinburgh Expedition and 24 days of practical activities for the Year 10 Recreation Program.


Some exciting news throughout the year was that our program and staff achieved national success with various awards. We were a national finalist and excellence awardee in the Australian Education Awards for Best Co-Curricular Program. The TAS Outdoor Education Program was selected as the State Award Winner for the Outdoor Education Australia Awards, and then we went on to win the national Outdoor Education Program category and Miss Beveridge won the National Outdoor Education Practitioner Award.

We’d like to thank the students for their enthusiastic and spirited participation in our programs, the parents for their continued support, the teaching and administration staff for their contributions to our programs, and most importantly, our team of outdoor education staff, who share their passion for the outdoors and allow students to be the best they can be.

YEAR 1 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
This year, we were pleased to deliver our first-ever Year 1 Outdoor Education Program, which was added to enhance our overall program.
Both Kewarra Beach and White Rock Campus Year 1 students were thrilled to participate in their very first outdoor education experience, which took place over a couple of hours at school.




The first half of the program included fun games and activities that introduced concepts such as teamwork and cooperation.

The second half focused on the bush environment surrounding each campus.
Students created their own bush art or constructed masterpieces from natural materials.
YEAR 2
OUTDOOR EDUCATION


WELL DONE, YEAR 2!
Both Kewarra Beach and White Rock Year 2 students had their very first overnight outdoor education experience. Students were excited in the lead up to the program.



Activities introduced students to the concept of teamwork and cooperation, and nurtured independence when setting up bedding and managing their belongings. Students enjoyed a lasagne dinner and learning how to wash up their own dishes.

Thank you to the tuck shop for making the beautiful dinner and to Year 12 students Alice Reeves and Diya Verma, who assisted with these programs as part of the residential component of their Gold Level Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.

YEAR 3 OUTDOOR EDUCATION


After being postponed in February due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Year 3 program was finally held at Camp Paterson in Term 2.

The program aims to develop personal responsibility and independence, learn about bush and freshwater aquatic environments, and work together.

Student highlights were the water wipe-out and land obstacle course challenges, the campfire, and staying in the permanent tent cabins. It was wonderful witnessing these students face the challenge of being away from home and in an unfamiliar environment, often for the first time.
Congratulations to the students for their efforts during the program, and thank you to the teaching and outdoor education staff who gave generously of their time to enrich the outcomes of this program.

YEAR 4 OUTDOOR EDUCATION

Monday 1 August 2022 – Wednesday 3 August 2022


WELL DONE, YEAR 3!
After being postponed in Term 1, the Year 4 program was held at the picturesque Quinola Lakes in early Term 3.



This program aims to foster responsibility, organisation and autonomy, and introduce students to various outdoor activities.
Students enjoyed the aquatic awareness activity, raft games, water slides and jumping boards.
They learnt about many animals during the hike, and gained an appreciation of what it takes to work together effectively during the teamwork activity.
Thank you to the teaching and outdoor education staff who gave generously of their time to enrich the outcomes of this program, and to Leeandra and her team from Love – Lee catering for the tasty food.

YEAR 5 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
25-27 July 2022



Canoeing was great!
The Year 5 Outdoor Education Program was full of excitement with over 80 students at Camp Barrabadeen.


The program focused on developing skills of responsibility, independence and fundamental outdoor education, including canoeing, hiking, abseiling and teamwork.

Students enjoyed campfires, sleeping in tents and fun games during the canoeing session. It was great to witness students overcome the challenge of being away from home and in an unfamiliar environment, and for some of them it was the first time.
Thank you to Leeandra and her team from Love – Lee catering for the delicious food. Thank you also to Year 12 students Alice Reeves and Diya Verma, who assisted with these programs voluntarily as part of the residential component of their Gold-Level Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.
Thank you to the teaching and outdoor education staff who gave generously of their time to enrich the outcomes of this program, and to Love-Lee Catering and the Chillagoe Caving Club for their hospitality.

YEAR 6 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
A lush green ChillagoeMungana Caves National Park hosted our Year 6 program this year. Throughout the program, students learnt about cave environments, the goegraphy of Chillagoe and campsite skills.



Students most enjoyed a sunrise viewing, evening challenge activities, the caving experience and spending time reflecting beside Chillagoe Creek.

Congratulations to the students for their efforts and resilience.

YEAR 7 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Monday 16 May 2022 – Friday 20 May 2022

This year, the Year 7 program was changed to mirror the old Year 8 program to better align with our scope and sequence.

A lush Bilwon State Forest and Camp Paterson were the program locations, and they introduced students to campsite operation and expeditioning skills, basic hiking and mountain-biking skills, and team-building.


Student highlights were the water wipe-out and land obstacle course, and mountain-biking through some big puddles and mud sections. It was wonderful seeing students develop their food preparation and cooking skills as the program progressed.
Thank you to Scott and Lyn from Camp Paterson for providing the wonderful venue, several of the activities and meals.

NEW PROGRAM LOCATION!




YEAR 8 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
This year, a new Year 8 program was developed for a brand new venue. This program fits better with our overall scope and sequence, which follows on from the Year 7 program and prepares students for the Year 9 program.
The new program was conducted at Emerald Escape Camping, a large private property adjacent to the beautiful Emerald Creek. Program aims included further developing campsite operation and expeditioning skills, canoeing and rescue skills, navigation practice, and working with others. Student highlights included the sunrise hike to Alder Hill, swimming below Emerald Creek Falls and playing various canoe games. It was also wonderful seeing students develop their food preparation and cooking skills as the program progressed.
Congratulations to the students for their efforts and resilience, and once again we appreciate the continued support shown by parents for our outdoor education programs. Thank you to Emerald Escape Camping for providing the wonderful venue.




YEAR 9 OUTDOOR EDUCATION

During weeks 3–5 of Term 4, Year 9 students completed their rite-of-passage 18-day outdoor education program at Camp Barrabadeen, Lake Tinaroo.


This program consolidates the personal responsibility and outdoor skills learnt in programs from Years 1–8 and introduces several more life skills, including different cooking techniques, sailing and various ropes activities.
Major program components included a 3-day hike and canoe expeditions, a 2–4-day multiactivity expedition, 2 days of mountain-biking, sailing, the giant swing, 2 abseils, orienteering events, environmental community service, solo activities, wellbeing sessions and more.


Principal Sjogren and the Chaplain, Mr Williams, visited the program on Sunday and ran a chapel service for the whole cohort where
each of the four groups performed a play and a reading about one of the four TAS values.

Counsellor Ms Ferry also visited the program on Day 5 to run a wellbeing session for the students, focusing on teaching practical, proactive strategies and techniques.
Many students commented on how they made new friendships and connections, and learnt how to get along with and work collaboratively with others for an extended time.
Thank you to the teaching and outdoor education staff who gave so much of their time and energy on this program. Thank you also to the program coordination and logistics staff, the venue providers and specialist activity instructors.
YEAR 10 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
The Year 10 Outdoor Education Program is the last journey-based expedition program in the secondary school, where students also get the choice of which program they complete.


Students pick from:


• Sailing on a tall ship from Cairns to Townsville
• Canoeing on Koombooloomba Dam

• Hiking in the Davies Creek National Park. They also plan and prepare their own food for the latter two expeditions. Days were spectacularly sunny, but nights were cold, getting close to zero on the Atherton Tablelands.
Congratulations to all students for their effort and skills. Thank you to South Passage for the incredible sailing experience.
YEAR 11 OUTDOOR EDUCATION

This year, the Year 11 Outdoor Education Program was held at the Northern Outlook Training Facility. The program aimed to develop leadership, teamwork and communication.

Students most enjoyed the artificial vertical caving activity, and the opportunity to spend time with their house groups and the wider cohort.


Heads of house attended the program to work with their students and nurture skills and qualities outside of the school campus environment.
Thank you to the team from the Northern Outlook Training Facility for providing the wonderful venue.
Team work makes the dream work!
Final TAS OE Program
YEAR 12 OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Tuesday 15 March 2022
The Year 12 program did not proceed as planned after being postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions, and then it was postponed a second time due to poor weather. As a result, the program went ahead on campus this year. While the location changed, the outcomes did not, and students spent their time developing skills of leadership and teamwork while bonding with their house and cohort peers.
From the program, the student highlight was The Amazing Race Activity, which saw students navigating the school to complete a variety of challenging physical and cognitive activities in a race against time and other houses.





THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S INTERNATIONAL AWARD

At the time of writing, there were more than 85 students at TAS registered for the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, and in 2022 at least 18 students have completed awards, a record three of them being at the prestigious gold level.

















Community service is a large part of this award and we facilitate several of these opportunities for students regularly, including event catering and environmental community service such as tree planting, weeding and mulching. In the mid-year school holidays, 15 Year 11 and 12 students completed an 8-day, double gold expedition. The goal was for them to travel completely human powered from the Tablelands to TAS, or from Wondecla to White Rock, over almost 200 km of challenging yet spectacular terrain. The expedition, which involved multiple days of paddling, mountain-biking and hiking, had to be modified due to some unseasonal wet weather and minor flooding, along with additional COVID complications. However, the overall journey was still a success. Thanks in particular to the staff and other adults who helped out with this journey, including Mrs van Rijssen, Mr Long, Mr Haseldine, Dan, Lisa and Steve.

YEAR 10 OUTDOOR RECREATION
The Year 10 Outdoor Recreation Program is an elective in-house program, custom designed to extend students in the areas of outdoor education and recreation.

Eighteen students began this program in February and met during Wednesday afternoon activities, with longer practical sessions a few times each term, and a 3- or 4-day expedition.



In total, students spent more than 24 days doing practical activities, as per the outline below.
Students participated in various reflection and evaluation activities to improve their personal skills, and practised leadership on several occasions. Along with skills learnt, students also walked away from the program with a Senior First Aid Certificate, Bronze Medallion Lifesaving Certificate and a program reference letter.

In 2022, Brothers TAS Hockey had two teams progress to the Cairns Hockey Association grand finals. Both the Brothers TAS U14B Girls team and the Brothers TAS U18 Women’s team were crowned the Cairns Hockey Association champions of their divisions.

In preparation for the 2023 season, current and future TAS hockey players had the opportunity to participate in a Hockey Skills Development Clinic in Term 4. We look forward to what 2023 holds in terms of player numbers and team strength after the strong interest from current and future TAS hockey players in the skills development sessions.
Finally, thank you to the teachers, parents and students who coached or managed teams in 2022.

TAS Netball continues to go from strength to strength under the watchful eye of Head Coach Elisa Robati. In 2022, TAS Netball fielded five teams in the Cairns Netball Association competition from U10 to U14.

We were ecstatic to have one of our competitive age group teams, the U14 TAS Opals, qualify for the grand finals. Congratulations to the U14 TAS Opals, who were runners up in the Cairns Netball competition.

The Prep-Year 2 Beginner’s Netball Clinic was popular in 2022, with over 40 participants from both the White Rock and Kewarra Beach campuses taking part in the sessions each week. Throughout the program, students were taught the basic principles of netball in preparation for the NETTA competition when they turn 8 years old. We can’t wait to see some of our beginner netball players take to the court next year in the U10 competition.
A big thank you to our TAS Netball coaches Mrs Elisa Robati, Miss Bodelle Stanley and Miss Jeda Nash, along with our student coaches and parents who coached or managed teams in 2022.

It was a pleasure to witness the growth and development of all our TAS Football players during the 2022 season. Thank you to the Jamie Gosling Football Academy coaching staff, along with the parents who managed teams in 2022.

TAS FOOTBALL CLUB


Programs running through the TAS Aquatic Centre are going from strength to strength. After farewelling our Director of Swimming, Duncan Todd, earlier in the year and thanking him for his dedication and hard work, we welcomed our New Head Coach Alberto Lantieri in April. We have been host to many events over the past year, including High Performance Coaching Clinics, the Cairns Interschool Water Polo Competition, as well as various competitive swimming events. We even host a weekly Deep Water Running class for exercise enthusiasts who push through a high-intensity workout, with no impact!

IN OUR ELEMENT, H20
We were also fortunate to have the great Dean Boxall on deck for a few days in April. He used our venue with a few of our nation’s greatest swimmers – Ariane Titmus, Mollie O’Callaghan and Elijah Winnington – who were preparing for the Commonwealth Games Trials.





LEARN TO SWIM
Our fabulous team of Learn to Swim teachers have worked hard this year, both in the water and out to ensure that our after-school programs are the best in Cairns. Starting from kindy-aged children through to our Advanced ‘Mini’ Squad, our budding swimmers have all improved tremendously throughout the year and are looking forward to what’s next. Intensive programs run during the holidays have helped solidify techniques, stroke development and gross motor skills, and show why we are the leading program in Cairns.
TAS SCHOOL SWIMMING


School swimming this year for both our primary campuses has covered a range of activities, from Water Polo and Aquathon training, including learning how to transition in and out of the water with tricky trainers, to learning how to swim 25m for our Prep–Grade 2 swimmers and Carnival training for our Grade 3–6’s including dive entries, fast swims and photo finishes. All this is nicely rounded out by our end-of-term fun days!
TAS SWIMMING CLUB


Jumping in at the deep end, Coach Alberto’s first mission on deck was the Queensland Short Course Championships held in August. Albert An and Leah Snelling travelled to Brisbane and won a combined nine medals, with Leah swimming five personal best times and medalling in two events, and Albert medalling in seven events and gaining four state championship titles. Albert and Coach Alberto were then selected and invited to the Gold Coast in September to take part in the Queensland Tri-Meet. This event recognises potential future Olympians and pits them head-to-head-to-head in three teams to win points, nurture the State’s next generation of swimmers and celebrate its past Queensland star sprinters in naming the teams: Team Mills (Alice), Team Henry (Jodie) and Team Trickett (Libby). What an honour for both!
Squad sizes are rapidly increasing, and under the tutelage of Coach Alberto and Coach Doug, swimmers are gaining technique, speed and a passion for the pool. Squad Members are working to gain qualifying times and are looking forward to the upcoming Long Course State Championship in Brisbane in December. This year, the TAS Aquatic Centre really is ‘In Our Element’.

White Rock Campus LIBRARY











This year, the White Rock Campus library underwent a mini-makeover with the construction of the Collaboration Room (Co-Lab) and revamp of the library layout. The library now has more useable open space with reading areas, a primary reading lounge and a senior study area, with a dedicated area for our makerspace, which houses our 3D printer and lego collection.

Special congratulations to all students who made their debut in 2022.
CHECKMATE! In early December, TAS hosted the best junior chess players from around the country for the national Schools Teams Chess Championships. It is such a rare and exciting opportunity for a regional school to host this event, and a reflection of our unrivalLed chess program. Congratulations to TAS students Harnoor Gill, Nyla Harris, Myuri Gopalapillai and Joanna Chen, who represented TAS in the competition. The Trinity Anglican School Chess program caters to boys and girls, over 50% of the student body participate in lessons and tournaments, and we encourage all students to gain from the social and intellectual benefits of Chess.












2022 Cancer Council Ponytail Project
Congratulations to our 15 brave Year 12 students and 3 teachers who participated in the Ponytail Project, donating their hair to be used to make wigs for those going through cancer treatment.





They have exceeded their initial fundraising targets, raising over $27,000, which was donated to Cancer Council Queensland. Well done, ladies. We are so proud of you!

ROUND SQUARE SERVICE CHALLENGE
The annual Round Square Service Challenge for tutor groups ran during Term 1 and Term 2 of 2022. This year, the recipient organisation was a local group, the Hambledon House Community Centre, who run a food pantry for people in need in Cairns South. They were ecstatic about the generosity of the TAS community, and we thank all of you for your donations. For the second consecutive year, the winning tutor group was DCMA.







BEACH CLEAN-UP
Congratulations to 40 students from WRCP who travelled to Giangurra Park on Yarrabah Road to take part in our annual Round Square beach clean-up and rubbish audit with staff from Tangaroa Blue and rangers from the Djunbunji Land and Sea program. We collected a lot of rubbish, then sorted and classified it to see what kinds of rubbish are washing up on our shores and how we can find ways to reduce it.



ROUND SQUARE
The Round Square IDEALS of Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service are embedded in the TAS culture and can be observed on many levels on a daily basis. Open to all, we meet weekly to plan new initiatives that are designed to give back to our communities at school, local and international levels.
The Round Square Student Committee, ably led by Captains Aleasha Vine-Leong and Ava Biram, actively promoted the SERVICE pillar this year:

• Fundraising for ‘One Million Beehives’, to train beekeepers in South African communities.
Volunteering at the monthly outreach with Rosies – Friends on the Street.
Selling sausage sizzles, baked goods and drinks at several TAS events – Interhouse Swimming Carnival, Interhouse Athletics Carnival, the Triathlon and TAS Goes M.A.D.


Running the ‘Big Book Sale’, which was bigger than ever this year. Unsold books were distributed to several local charities.
• Organising the annual ‘Tutor Group Service Challenge’, which was won by DCMA for the second time. A car load of donations went to the local Mission Australia group Hambledon House Community Centre.

The ENVIRONMENT pillar continued to be promoted though several initiatives, including ongoing cans and plastics recycling, 22kg of old uniforms sent to Worn
Up for recycling and repurposing, and pen recycling.
The Adventure IDEAL was evident in the return of student exchange with Scottie and Nitish joining us from Bishop Druitt College (Coffs Harbour) and Jessi and Bonnie from Radford College (Canberra).
the ADVENTURE and INTERNATIONALISM pillars were also highlighted with the first Round Square International Conference since 2019. RSIC 2022 was held at Oxford, London. I was accompanied by Mr Manea, and our delegates were Olivia Kroijmans and Matthew Elliott-Darlow. In Olivia’s words, The RSIC 2022 was a significant event that will never leave me. Students were openminded and presented new perspectives you wouldn’t be exposed to at home, expanding your own knowledge and ability to dissect world issues. Being able to interact with so many new people, all so diverse, was an experience that exposes you to different lifestyles, beliefs and personalities. Having been given the opportunity to discuss topics such as the conference theme, 'Take Less and Be More', with so many young individuals is an experience I will never take for granted. I have learnt and grown immensely from within the grounds of St Anne’s College, Oxford to my homestay family in London. I will always associate RSIC 2022 with feelings of amazement.'


Incredible fundraising efforts by the team have enabled us to donate $2000 to the Hambledon House Community Centre, to put towards Christmas hampers for the local southside community. Additional funds will be disbursed to other worthy causes.

Congratulations to our 2022 Year 11 students who have been preparing to become leaders of the school. Through a rigorous and democratic selection process, our Captains for 2023 were selected and inducted through the Leadership Investiture Service, where Year 11 were prompted to reflect on the meaning of servant leadership, and the role that they can play in serving their community.












2022 TRINITY ANGLICAN SCHOOL FIRE & ICE GALA BALL

TAS GOES M.A.D



On Saturday 20 August, TAS goes M.A.D. was held at White Rock Secondary Campus. There was Music, Art and Drama, along with food, drinks and a festival atmosphere. Performances from our Rock Band, Orchestral Band and many other music groups were held in the Bishop Centre. There were drama displays at the library hand ball court area, and an amazing display of artwork in D Block. For a first-time event, it proved to be a huge success, and if you missed out on seeing the staff rock band this year, I have heard a rumour they may be back to perform again next year.

Captains' message to Year 12s
By Aurelia Wood & Steven Li

It was a rough start to the year with our Year 12 journey beginning through a screen. An unideal way to get going, it felt like we were watching a never-ending series of voices without faces and black screens. I know we had all dreamed it would look like an epic scene from Mean Girls or the final moments of High School Musical, but the reality was that it was a constant cycle of sleep deprivation and delirium because we chose to leave that assignment to the last possible minute, drowning ourselves in an endless pit of coffee to survive the day.
But truly, this year has been like a movie, each one of you uniquely your own character, adding to the fun of every moment we have shared.
We know it’s hard to believe, but we have made it, and I hope we stayed mostly in one piece, although our brains might currently hate us for the constant ‘abuse’ we put them through this year. We are beyond proud of what all of you have achieved individually and as a cohort, the difference we have made in people’s lives through fundraising, and the lasting impact we have had on the school for being anything but ordinary. You can probably tell by now that our cohort theme this year was ‘Hollywood’, because, after all, we are all drama queens.

We know how much you guys love the TAS colour scheme, but we decided that in our good nature, and following a trend in our grade of breaking the rules and pushing the boundaries, that it would be best to break one last formality.



This is not the end of the book. It’s just the beginning of the next chapter. Take a moment right now to look up, think about the people around you, what you have achieved this year and where you are yet to go.
There is so much more beyond the TAS gates that many of us have called ‘home’ for several years, so go pursue new adventures, challenge yourself, find time to prioritise your passions, and most of all, cherish every moment because it’s likely that it will never be the same again.
We wish you all the very best for your next step, whether it’s uni, working, travelling or professional partying. Take time to look back on these memories and remember what you learnt or how it felt to have zero responsibility.
Life is a movie, so don’t get to the final cut and find yourself regretting what you did or did not do. Look at your future and write the sequel. Remember that ‘You may not always end up where you thought you were going. But you will always end up where you were supposed to be'.















































































































































































































































IN 2022, TAS KEWARRA KINDY CHILDREN ENGAGED IN MANY ASPECTS OF STEM, INCLUDING CONSERVATION PROJECTS WITH SEYMOUR OUTBUSH AND HARTLEY'S. THEY LEARNT ABOUT NATIVE ANIMALS, THE IMPACTS OF HUMANS, AND HOW WE CAN PROTECT AND REHABILITATE NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS AND CARE FOR NATURE.



2022 in Review TAS Kewarra Beach ELC
MS KELLY HART
The children have redeveloped the frog pond on the primary school campus and it is a thriving ecosystem now. Bush Kindy programs explored nature, patterns, eco-systems and First Nations concepts, including bush tucker. Children planted their own bush tucker gardens and are harvesting foods from these, as well as vegetable gardens. We have participated in Reef Restorations and learnt about the impacts of pollution and how we can minimise hazards to the natural environment and protect marine life. We engaged in and developed crocwise strategies with QLD Parks and Wildlife, and are active participants in croc wise practices. It's been a huge year! In addition to all of this, we have embedded our relationships with First Nations Pamagirri peoples and learnt many Aboriginal science perspectives.
