From the

Principal Principal, Paul Sjogren As we conclude another remarkable year at TAS, TRINITAS offers a glimpse into the vibrancy of our exceptional school community. I trust that you will enjoy perusing these pages as much as the TAS community has valued the opportunities, experiences, and achievements highlighted within.

In 2024, TAS was privileged to be among a select group of schools worldwide chosen to feature in the Commonwealth@75 commemorative publication. This prestigious recognition underscores our commitment to educational excellence on the global stage. A copy of this publication is on display in the foyer of our White Rock Administration Building, another resides in the British Parliamentary Library, and I am informed that a copy is also housed in Buckingham Palace.

While there were numerous other accolades and Principal

awards recognising the outstanding contributions of our students, programs, and community over the year, I am particularly proud of the increasing emphasis on service. Generosity, service, and spirit form the foundational values of any school community.

Through our Gala Ball, our community raised over $30,000 for the Principal’s Opportunity Scholarship Fund; our Year 12 students raised more than $35,000 for the Cancer Council participating in the Ponytail Project; and secondary students made over 1,500 sandwiches each term as part of the Eat Up Initiative, providing lunches for students in need at local schools. Our Day for Daniel, Charities Fair, tree-planting initiatives, individual Round Square service projects, and numerous other programs continually remind our students of the importance of helping, supporting, and uplifting those less fortunate.

We bid a heartfelt farewell to Ms Mary Kershaw after more than a decade of dedicated service, eight of which she spent leading the TAS Kewarra Beach community. Mary has led with both courage and compassion, fostering a wonderful learning environment. We extend our deepest gratitude and wish her and Bill all the best in the next chapter of their journey.

Wishing you a safe and restful summer break. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you in 2025 for another successful year ahead!

Jeff and his family lived there until 1999, with Jeff playing a pivotal role in TAS early years and proudly supporting the school throughout his life. After the Pezzutti family moved, the house became the

Music House, serving as a vibrant hub for music lessons and workshops for many years. Recently, it was returned to the Pezzutti family and relocated to their farm. This marks a new chapter in its story while celebrating the enduring legacy of Jeff Pezzutti, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Year in Review from White Rock

Secondary

Head of Secondary School, Belinda de Guzman This year has been one of continued growth and development within our community. As we grow, so too must our systems and structures, to ensure we remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence.

This year has been a journey of inclusive excellence, supporting our students to reach their full potential and strive for success in all they do. At TAS, we are truly fortunate to have access to such incredible opportunities.

As highlighted at the Awards Night, our holistic approach to education nurtures students mentally, physically, and spiritually, helping to shape well-rounded graduates.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated and supportive staff, who go above and beyond to create a welcoming and nurturing learning environment.

Next year will mark the initiation of Year Level Coordinators for Years 7, 8, and 9, a step that we believe will strengthen

our Pastoral Care and student wellbeing structures during crucial developmental years.

As we say farewell to the graduating Year 12s of 2024, we send them off with our best wishes. Their final year has been filled with memorable moments—from their retreat and formal to their valedictory. May they carry the legacy of kindness and compassion instilled in them, wherever their journeys take them.

With excitement and anticipation, we look forward to welcoming our Year 7's in 2025 as they embark on the next stage of their educational journey.

May 2025 bring continued growth as we progress and adapt to a changing world, grounded in the strength of our core values as part of a faithful community. "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." — Nelson Mandela

Valedictory Toast from

Principal

School Captains

By Frances Gale (F) and Albert An (A)

A: Behold, the class of 2024! It has been an incredible, wild year, filled with lots of emotions and memories.

Dramas have occurred, life has happened, but at the end of the day, we are all friends. Through our times of stress, we have come through mostly unscathed!

F: We started this journey 13 years ago. And now, most of us can drive. Some of us can vote. Adulthood is upon us whether we like it or not. Maturity? Maybe not so much. Graduation is our first step into the world. Albert and I wish everyone all the best in whatever pathway you choose to take.

A: We’d like to mention some of the little moments that defined this year. Of course, Damian, we’d like to thank you for breaking the ping pong table.

Although disappointing, it was certainly entertaining.

F: Thank you to Mrs de Guzman, for organising all our fantastic events.

A: We owe you a lot for the stress we have put you through.

F: Also, we would like to thank the senior leadership team and our Head of Houses.

A: For their outstanding contributions in supporting our high school endeavours.

F: Thank you to our teachers, for putting in the work to help us learn, and for giving us life knowledge for many years to come.

A: Thank you to our parents.

F: For everything you have done for us.

F: Also, aren’t we glad to be passing the Year 12 area, or as we like to call it the STEM cell, onto the year 11’s!

A: We wouldn’t be here without you. So, thanks for putting us on earth.

A: Hopefully they enjoy the fridge, the microwave, and of course, the wonderful smell! The car park.

Never again will we have to worry about Mr Manea closing it off at 8:30am.

F: Just know that we love you, even if we don’t always say so.

F: Drive safe everyone! So now, let’s raise our glasses in a toast to everything that has been.

A: The things that have made this year, and the many people we need to thank.

A: And lastly, thanks to you, the class of 2024.

F: You are here because you put in the effort.

A: You should be proud of yourself.

F: Here’s to the future!

Year in Review from Kewarra Beach

Primary

Head of Kewarra Beach Primary, Mary Kershaw

2024 has been a year of transformation and achievement at Kewarra Beach Primary. Key highlights include campus upgrades, such as improved parking and ongoing building projects, the recognition of our innovative Student Wellbeing Program with an Australian Education Award, and student-designed nature trail signs that celebrate our unique environment.

Our campus upholds a commitment to the Round Square movement, with a strengthened focus on entrepreneurship and philanthropy this year. Aligned with Round Square IDEALS and National School Aid accreditation, student leaders have led impactful projects, including fundraisers, item collections, and market stalls such as the Charities Fair and Courtyard Christmas Markets, igniting a growing passion for giving back.

Our students are prepared to make a meaningful impact in an ever-changing world. With a global perspective, empathy, and adaptability, they’re developing essential skills for the future. Teachers connect classroom learning to local and global needs, inspiring students to embrace social entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and innovation. Many are driven to tackle global challenges, recognising the importance of bigpicture thinking, social responsibility, and strategic planning in our interconnected world.

PILLOWCASE PROGRAM Year 4 students at Kewarra Beach Campus participated in the Pillowcase Program, facilitated by Red Cross volunteers and staff. Aligned with the Civics and Citizenship and Health and Physical Education curricula, this initiative aims to enhance disaster resilience among students and empower them to play an active role in their emergency preparedness.

FIRE SAFETY Year 1 students at Kewarra Beach campus had an exciting visit from the Smithfield Fire Station. Firefighters brought along their fire engine, giving the students a close-up look at the vehicle and its equipment.

We are inspired by the potential of our students to become compassionate, forwardthinking leaders. With the skills, empathy, and resilience they’re developing, they are well-prepared to navigate an evolving world. Guided by dedicated teachers, they are laying the foundation for meaningful social impact, poised to grow into mindful changemakers shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.

100+ TREES PROJECT This year, we successfully launched the KBCP 100+ Trees Project, planting over 100 trees across the school grounds and new carpark landscape islands. This initiative addressed the loss of green spaces due to expanding facilities while promoting biodiversity and restoring habitats for local wildlife.

With support from Cairns Regional Council and guided by the 2024 National Science Week theme, Species Survival – More than Just Sustainability, students played a key role in researching tree species, tending seedlings, preparing planting areas, and caring for young trees. The main planting drive took place during Science Week (August 10–18), focusing on how science and innovation can protect biodiversity and encourage wildlife to thrive on campus.

SCHOOLS TREE DAY Year 6 students at Kewarra Beach campus embraced the tradition of planting trees for Schools Tree Day, combining hands-on learning with environmental action. This annual event fosters teamwork, environmental stewardship, and a commitment to a greener future while enhancing the school’s natural beauty.

Year in Review from White Rock

Primary

Head of White Rock Primary, Peter Gazzola The end of 2024 provides a moment to reflect on an extraordinary year of achievement, growth, and collaboration at our campus. This year has been a testament to the dedication of our staff, the perseverance of our students, and the unwavering support of our community. Together, our community has continued to build a culture of excellence, innovation, and compassion.

One of my proudest moments came with being recognised nationally as a Primary School of the Year through the Australian Education Excellence Awards.

This prestigious accolade reflects the collective effort of our staff, students, and families. Further adding to this recognition, our commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking education was celebrated with the 5-Star Sustainability Award and the 5-Star Innovation Award.

In academics, students excelled on both state and national stages. In the da Vinci Decathlon, students achieved an impressive third place overall in Queensland, leading the state in mathematics for Year 5 and Year 6. Additionally, our

success in the QAMT State Championships and our victory as the Chess Regional Champions highlights the diverse talents of our students and their ability to think critically and strategically.

These accolades reflect the thriving culture we have nurtured, one where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential. Beyond awards, this year has been marked by a deepened focus on building meaningful connections within the community. The emphasis on collaboration between staff and families has further strengthened our shared vision for holistic education.

The accomplishments of 2024 set a high standard, but they also inspire us to aim even higher in 2025. Together, we will continue to empower students to thrive, innovate, and lead with integrity and compassion.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this year such a resounding success. It is a privilege to be part of such a dynamic and dedicated community.

From the

Principal

School Captains

By Laura Wood (L) and Archer Twomey (A) L – What a year Archer and I have had! Our leadership journey started at last year’s award ceremony and throughout the year it has been a privilege and honour watching our community grow and learn. We also enjoyed helping with Prep to Year 2 sporting events, and assisting or speaking at important services. Personally, one of my highlights this year has been helping younger students develop into amazing TAS role models. To be effective leaders, we have committed everyday to be honest, caring, and committed TAS students and we are proud to see so many other students commit to this way of TAS life.

A – Like Laura, my highlight for 2024, was looking after the younger students at so many different events, it was a great opportunity for me to grow as a leader. Year 6 has been a wonderful year connecting with new classmates and developing friendships with our cohort. Care and connect, a program running from years 3 to 6, includes Year 6’s as peer leaders, teaching younger students many ways about caring, connecting and being social. It has been an amazing opportunity to build leadership skills and connect with other students from years 3 to 6. Care and Connect can help children build relationships and learn to cope with difficult situations. But most of all we have thoroughly enjoyed fulfilling the duties of school captain, such as committing to various events, displaying the TAS values and being actively involved in the TAS community.

TAS White Rock Campus Primary has always been community minded with events such as the community carnival, book week parade, house competitions, musical performances, Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations, and the Easter Parade, all of these are unique to TAS and that’s

something that makes us so special. One of the things I have always loved about TAS is the way that we all take part in these activities and that no one gets left out.

L - TAS students embrace curiosity that lets us explore different things, rise to a challenge and never be afraid of learning something new. This makes us a student body which enhances the willing to know and understand more.

What more could we ask for our schooling life.

This year we have also been successful in the sporting arena - students competed at district, regional, state and national level. Congratulations to our primary sports tour to the sunshine coast, where more than 40 students, represented TAS in netball, soccer, or hockey. We were also very successful in chess with 3 girls teams flying to Brisbane to compete in the state finals, with another 2 mixed teams representing TAS as the state championships.

A – Overall, 2024 has been a fabulous year for TAS White Rock Campus Primary. We are both proud to be part of an award-winning school that has achieved a lot over the years. A special mention to everyone’s parents and hardworking teachers who have made this year the best it can be. The year 6 cohort is very much looking forward to a new chapter in high school. Good luck to the incoming captains, we wish you an exciting and successful year. A message to the future captains, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” A quote by Maya Angelou.

L - Congratulations on a successful 2024. Have a safe and happy Christmas holiday. Laura and Archer – Signing Off.

CONNECTING WITH COUNTRY

The Year Six Connect to Country Northern Territory Tour offered students an unforgettable experience, immersing them in the region's rich cultural heritage, natural wonders, and history.

Highlights included the Welcome to Country Saltwater Ceremony, exploring Ubirr Rock Art, and learning about local ecosystems on the Yellow Waters and Katherine Gorge Dreaming Cruises. Students applied classroom knowledge while developing personal and interpersonal skills through group activities, such as waterfall swimming, and visiting Parliament House and the Military Museum.

Close encounters with wildlife at Crocosaurus Cove and visits to the NT Museum and Art Gallery added depth to this hands-on educational adventure. This tour fostered a connection with the land and Indigenous culture, creating lasting memories and insights.

From the Head of Teaching & Learning

Tim Manea, Deputy Principal, and Head of Teaching and Learning As we reflect on 2024, Trinity Anglican School celebrates a year of outstanding academic achievements across all year levels, underpinned by the dedication of our students, the expertise of our staff, and the unwavering support of our school community.

This year saw significant success across academic disciplines, with students excelling in state and national competitions, including the da Vinci Decathlon, QMAT Mathematics Competitions, Regional and State Chess Championships, and innovative STEM projects such as the annual JCU Titration Competition and the Engineers Australia Excellence Awards.

Our students also shone in the Arts, with the remarkable TAS Goes M.A.D festival standing as a key highlight.

Tailored programs, including enrichment opportunities and targeted learning, ensured every student was empowered to reach their full potential, fostering both academic growth and personal development.

In 2024, the NAPLAN results for Years 3, 5, 7, and 9 once again reinforced the excellent work undertaken by students in Literacy and Numeracy. While NAPLAN is just one of many ways that student

success is measured at TAS, the national significance of these assessments and the ongoing success of TAS students in these standardised tests cannot be overstated.

A highlight of the year was the introduction of the TAS MedEntry Course, designed to support aspiring medical students in their preparation for UCAT examinations and university admissions. This initiative reflects our commitment to equipping students with specialized pathways to achieve their career aspirations.

A special mention goes to our Year 12 students, who have approached their final year with determination, resilience, and focus. Their hard work and commitment have been evident throughout the year. We celebrate their achievements and acknowledge their role as mentors and leaders within the school community, setting an inspiring example for their younger peers.

This year’s accomplishments are a testament to the dynamic and supportive learning environment at Trinity Anglican School. As we conclude 2024, we look forward to building on these successes and continuing to nurture curious, confident, and compassionate learners who are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

SCIENCE WEEK

SCIENCE WORKSHOP

TAS embraced the theme of National Science Week 2024: "Species Survival – More than Just Sustainability." As part of the TAS revegetation program, students planted 100 trees at Kewarra Beach.

Astronomy Night provided a stellar lesson on the Perseid meteor shower, while forensic science workshops and a visit to Cairns Aquarium deepened our understanding of how science supports species survival and thriving ecosystems. As National Science Week wraps up, let’s stay inspired by the power of science and innovation to drive meaningful change and support the survival and flourishing of species in our dynamic world.

Students at White Rock Campus thoroughly enjoyed their immersive forensic science workshop, where they delved into the intricate processes of investigating a crime scene. They explored various forensic techniques, including forensic botany, chromatography, UV light analysis, animal track identification, and scatology. A special thank you to Education Interactive for making the workshop both informative and captivating.

YEAR 5 & 6 JAPAN STUDY TOUR This year, Years 4 to 6 participated in the Japan Study Tour as part of our exchange program with Keimei Gakuen Elementary School. Students explored Japanese culture through visits to the Imperial Palace Museum, Tokyo Station, and other landmarks. They also engaged with Japanese students during their classroom experience and homestay with host families.

Highlights included visits to the Tsuruoka Hachiman Gu Shrine, Hase Temple, the Great Buddha of Kamakura, and Tokyo Disneyland.

YEAR 10 & 11 JAPAN STUDY TOUR In 2024, TAS Japanese students had a highly successful year. In late 2023, Year 10 and 11 students participated in a 14-day cultural immersion trip to Japan, visiting Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo. They explored historical sites, took language lessons, dined with a Japanese family, and visited our sister school, Keimei Gakuen, under the guidance of Fukushima Sensei and Kawabata Sensei.

Back at school, TAS excelled in the Education Perfect Global Languages Championship, ranking 4th out of 1169 schools worldwide, with 68 students earning awards.

In the Regional Championships, TAS ranked 1st in Queensland among 316 schools. Year 7 class 7D achieved first place within TAS.

Student Representative Council (SRC) Hello everyone! It’s Lydia and Poppy and we are your Year 10 Student Representative Council (SRC) members for 2024.

The SRC consists of two peer voted representatives from Years 7 through to 11. This year’s representatives were: •

Year 7 – Kritika Biswas and Alex Boscarini

•

Year 8 – Scarlett Ross and Bethany Vanderham

•

Year 9 – Rithul Vishnu and Mehtaab Saundh

•

Year 10 – Lydia Jeremijenko and Poppy Loveridge

•

Year 11 – Max Britton and Hugo Loveridge

2024 has been an exciting year of discussion and action in the SRC. Each week the SRC meets during Friday’s TAS Time to discuss current issues that students and staff have raised. We spent the first few weeks setting up

the SRC’s SharePoint page and organising the roles and responsibilities of each member.

Some of the issues the SRC have discussed and addressed this year include: the Uniform Policy, tuckshop menu, rules for bus seats, library opening times, oval rules and many more. Many of these issues were raised through homeroom visits, the SRC’s online survey on SharePoint and one on one conversations between representatives and students.

Members were also able to speak at a couple of assemblies to spread awareness about what the SRC does and how to contact us.

Overall, the SRC has had an amazing year and we hope to continue to help students improve TAS in 2025. Poppy and Lydia.

World Challenge Nepal 2024

Mr Darren Osmond, Accompanying School Leader and TAS World Challenge Coordinator.

On 2 December 2024, 18 Year 10 and 11 students from Trinity Anglican School embarked on the journey of a lifetime – a 22-day student-led World Challenge Expedition to Nepal. This was the 7th TAS World Challenge group and the second to visit Nepal.

The journey began almost 18 months earlier when students committed to the challenge and began fundraising, not only for themselves but also for the group’s community service project. Extensive preparation included student and parent meetings, training expeditions, and group fundraising initiatives, raising over $3000 through food stalls, bake sales, and social media promotion.

The student-led team gathered their entire expedition budget in cash before arriving in Kathmandu. Over the next 22 days, they took full ownership of their budget, covering accommodation, transport, food, guide tips, sightseeing, and relaxation activities. This experiential learning approach, under the guidance of an experienced leader and school staff, allowed students to manage the entire expedition themselves.

The team created a bespoke itinerary, starting with a whitewater rafting safari and trek acclimatisation days in lakeside Pokhara. They then travelled to a nearby government school for several days of community service, including painting, manual labour, and basic construction.

A highlight was interacting with local children, teaching English, playing games, and learning some Nepalese.

The team’s fundraising efforts also enabled them to contribute over $3000 to worthy causes, including further

52

technical building work, educational supplies, and sporting equipment for local organisations.

After a period of rest and recovery in Pokhara, the team flew to Kathmandu, saving a 12-hour bus trip, with stunning views of the Himalayas. Their trek began with an 8-hour drive to the Himalayas, where they spent 8 days trekking in winter conditions. The challenge was immense, with temperatures as low as minus 10°C and altitudes up to 4773 metres above sea level. They stayed in teahouses along the 50km route in Langtang Valley, learning to cook Nepali dishes from their Sherpa guides and gaining inspiration from the people who call the remote mountains home.

The long drive back to Kathmandu was reflective, and the final days were spent shopping, visiting temples, and debriefing on their experiences before the journey home, arriving in Cairns just before Christmas.

The students’ outdoor education experiences proved invaluable, as they developed leadership, teamwork, and budgeting skills, using negotiation and bargaining to save money, which benefitted the local economy. Their efforts left a lasting impact on Nepal, but the most significant change was within the students themselves as they matured into young adults.

This was the sixth successful World Challenge expedition conducted by TAS, with past destinations including Borneo, Ecuador, Tanzania, Nepal, and India. The next group is eager to discover where their adventure will take them in December 2026—perhaps South America?

Library DINOSAUR WEEK Students enjoyed dinosaur themed activities and challenged as part of Connected Libraries, Di-November program.
