Year Nine Socials
This year the Year Nines have had three socials. The first was a Barn Dance early in the year with our sister school Mercedes. It was a great chance to meet and socialise with the young women. At the social, we played games and had fun.
Mr John Montagu Head of Year 9 In the second term, we did ballroom dancing lessons for eight weeks. When they were over, students from both schools attended a massive social with a winter wonderland theme. It was a great night and it capped off the great learning experience of ballroom dancing. In Term Three, eighty Trinity boys were selected to go on a boat cruise on the Captain James Stirling for three hours with Penrhos and Wesley College. It was a great experience to socialise with the two different schools.

Music
Music at Trinity College has been very successful for many years, and this year was no exception. Five year nine students, Christopher Dawson, Perry Joyce, Leonard Ong, Hugh Shedden and Desmond Yeo are all members of the combined Trinity College and Presbyterian Ladies College Chorale, a name synonymous with hard work and success. On July 3rd they embarked on an overseas music tour to England and Wales where they participated in an International Music Festival at Llangollen, Wales and performed in many beautiful, historical Cathedrals throughout England. Whilst in London the boys attended a performance of the musical The Lion King.
The Year Nine music students perform in many of the College’s music and dance ensembles including Guys in Groove, Pipes and Drums, Middle School Band, Senior Concert Band, Swing Band 2 and this year we even have one student, Christopher Dawson, in Swing Band 1. Throughout the year, these musicians and dancers have performed in many concerts that displayed their diverse talents. The three most memorable concerts were the Quarry Amphitheatre Concert on 6th April, the Senior and Junior Music Nights, and of course the poignant farewell concert for the Trinity Chorale. There were two other “firsts” for the Year Nine Music Students in 2003. In Term One they attended a Music Camp that was held in New Norcia and culminated in the Quarry Amphitheatre Concert. After the Chorale returned from their tour they recorded a CD, which will soon be available to purchase. This was the first time that our five Year Nine Chorale members had been in a real recording studio. Miss Bott’s Year Nine Music 2 class has studied the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods. We also went to SciTech and visited the Sound House where we were able to record some of our own tunes. It is obvious that there is a great deal of talent within the Year Nine group, ensuring that the success of this year will continue in years to come.

Year Nine – An Overall View
It is hard to believe that Year Nine has come and gone so quickly. We were certainly a more confident group than when we first entered our secondary schooling last year. This year we were all “old hands”. It was good to renew friendships forged last year and to make new ones. With the new Head of Year and Homeroom teachers, we were all eager to start and begin our busy schedule of academic, sporting and social activities. Socials also played a big part throughout the course of the year. New friendships were formed once the nerves were overcome – many of these will last a lifetime. Many of us had success with consecutive Hamer Cup rowing titles and Belt-Up Cup football titles – proving our dominance in the sporting field; however, it was only through hours of commitment and dedication that we achieved this. Special thanks must go to all teachers who gave up their time, assuring our success.
Year Nine wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the huge amount of time and dedication our Homeroom Teachers put in over the year. Their help, guidance and in particular their great friendly personalities, will never be forgotten by any of us.
