Presentation Night

A NIGHT THAT IS NEVER DISAPPOINTING, PRESENTATION NIGHT 2022 WAS AN EVENING FULL OF WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES AND A CELEBRATION OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

On Tuesday 18 October, Perth Concert Hall set the scene for what was to be a superb Presentation Night 2022. Showcasing the immense talent of our Performing Arts students, the audience was captivated at the sight of the Massed Choir as they took to the stage and stalls. Within moments, the boys had the audience tapping their feet as they performed The Nights by Avicii. Glass, performed by the Trinity/Mercedes College Wind Orchestra was an original composition by Domenic Lamattina (11.6) and was an emotionally charged and beautiful performance that left the audience captivated. Another highlight of the evening featured a collaboration between our senior dance group, Imperium XXII with the Boorloo Boys. Showcasing the diversity and unity between them, the highly creative performance started with the boys on film that eventually extended into a live performance. Other amazing performances from Swing Band One and the Senior Chorale all highlighted the brilliant and diverse range of our Performing Arts students throughout the evening. During the night, respective year level awards were presented to students in recognition of their outstanding achievement in the areas of Academic Studies, Christian Service, Sport and Performing Arts for the year. This year, the

Pinder Boor Medal was introduced which recognises the Year 12 students who have achieved a Pinder Boor Certificate of Excellence in every semester report in Years 7–12. We were honoured to be joined by Ms Delia Parker and Mr Alaric Parker to present the inaugural medals to the five recipients. The evening also allowed our College community to formally acknowledge our student leaders for 2022 and 2023 with the announcement of Joel Carcich as the 2022 Head Prefect and Adam De Masi announced as Deputy Head Prefect. During the ceremony, Head Prefect, James Watson, and Deputy Head Prefect, Luca Gosatti, handed over the mantle of leadership to Joel and Adam, presenting them and the 2023 Prefects with three important symbols that serve as powerful reminders of important truths and are at the very heart of Trinity College – the Book of Gospels, the Candle and the Trinity College flag. Following an incredible performance from the Trinity Pipes and Drums, in Presentation Night tradition, lone piper, Damien Lawrence (12.4), took to the choir stalls and played Abide with Me, which drew another memorable Presentation Night to a close. A special mention of thanks goes to the staff and students who were involved in the event and a special thank you to our community for celebrating with us.
