Year 10

For most students, Year 10 marks an interesting and some times challenging part of their academic and social development. It has been said that Year 10 is neither here nor there – the students are no longer the young boys of Years 8 and 9 for whom everything is provided. But nor are they the young men of Years 11 and 12 who are forced to accept a greater responsibility in their journey through both school and society.

Thus Year 10 is a time of transition. Atime of boys growing into young men, and it is this transition for which the Year 10 program Trinity College caters. Whether in the areas of faith enhancement, academic and vocational progress, sporting achievement or social development, the school and specifically those who teacher Year 10 aim to help their students on the path towards becoming young men of integrity in all that they do.

Perhaps the greatest responsibility that the College undertakes is in the faith development of the Year 10 group. This year has seen an important change in the teaching of Religious Education to Year 10 students with the adoption of a single course based on the theme of Social Justice. As boys come closer to the age of 15, they are no longer happy to just accept what their Religious Education teachers tell them about God and the world. Questions are asked, challenges are set and the new Year 10 course did an excellent job of placing the responsibility of issues of social justice right into the hands of the Year group.

To go in hand with the new Religious Education course, a new form or retreat was introduced that gave students from each home room class the opportunity to ‘breakaway’ from the pressures of school for a day and focus on the journey that they are undertaking through life. These days were highly successful and along with the regular year group masses that were held formed an invaluable part of each student’s faith development.

Academically, students were challenged to progress to new levels of achievement in preparation for their moves into post-compulsory education next year. It is important for Year 10 students to understand that they are no longer passengers but are active participants in the determination of their futures. From day one of the year, the students were set the challenge to aspire to their best so that their choices for Year 11 would be attained.

Students were also given the opportunity to attend the annual Jobseekers Workshop hosted by Chris Maxwell at Gloucester Park. Mr Maxwell, with the support of East Perth Rotary, taught the year group many invaluable lessons on searching for work, attending interviews and self promotion. With his lively style of presentation Chris was able to teach all the students something valuable and this is why the Workshop was one of the highlights of the year.

The social calendar for 2002 centred on the annual Trinity – Mercedes sports afternoon which was attended by over 40 students from the year group. Trinity students also attended socials at Penhros College and Presbyterian Ladies College during the year. Both these evenings were highly successful and I received several compliments from the staff of these schools about the gentlemanly behaviour of the boys.

I was also pleased to see they way in which the students adapted to the demands of PSAweekend sport. Several of our Year 10 teams were successful in winning their respective competitions, but all teams successful in demonstrating the TC spirit and sportsmanship on a weekly basis. I would also like to congratulate all those Year 10 students who got the opportunity to play in the senior team for their respective sport – Well Done!

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Mr Bobby Emmanuel, Mr Tony Webb, Mr Michael Mueller, Ms Sharatha Mizen, Mr John-Marc Rousset and Mrs Lea Wilson who as homeroom teachers, have played an invaluable role in the pastoral development of the Year 10 group. I would also like to thank Mr Robert Armitage for his efforts as acting Head of Year whilst I was on long service leave in Term 4.
