Farewell Class of 2022

Year 12 Graduation

Congratulations to Trinity College’s newest graduates, the Class of 2022. While the impending WACE exams sat in the minds of many of our Year 12s, for one day they could put all the study guides away and join our College community at the farewell and celebration of the Leaving Class of 2022. The celebrations commenced in Centenary Park with the traditional Trinity Old Boys’ Association (TOBA) Breakfast that was attended by our graduating class along with their families. The boys then gathered in the Sports Centre for one last time where they heard Old Boy and Essendon footballer, Nic Martin (’18) speak of the strong sense of brotherhood developed through Trinity, commenting on the friendships made, memories shared, support offered and the responsibility of upholding values. For their final farewell assembly, Head Prefect, James Watson gave his final reflection, encouraging all students to ‘write their own story of personal excellence’. He reminded the boys to make the most of the many opportunities that Trinity provides and encouraged his fellow graduates to continue to strive to be Men for Others and to make a difference as they move beyond the gates of Trinity College.

The boys were then piped out of the Sports Centre and walked through the traditional guard of honour formed by their parents and families to join their peers for one last TC Rumble as students in Centenary Park. Later in the evening, the Graduation Mass and Dinner were held. Joined by family and friends, the students participated in a very special Eucharistic celebration followed by the presentation of graduation certificates. There were many wonderful highlights; the introduction of Head of Year, PCG teacher gifts from students, reflections by staff, students and parents, the mother/ son dance and the touching exchange of letters to parents which were written when the boys first joined Trinity College. It was a special evening where students, families and staff shared stories and wished each other well for the future.

On behalf of the College community, we formally congratulate our 2022 Graduating Class and thank them for being such wonderful and humble young men. We trust that as they leave our College, they do so with pride and as people of integrity, with a real sense of self-worth and purpose. Thank you for all the memories.
