004 has marked a number of significant milestones in the life of all Catholic schools in the tradition of Edmund Rice, but especially in the life of Trinity College. Following on from the wonderful developments at Trinity in the previous ten years, the Executive and Board of the College have in 2004, set about securing the future.

Risk Management /Safe Schools Framework The College has been at the forefront of an initiative of the Christian Brothers to assess the risk factors endemic in any school’s operation. Our risk management process has reassured us of the safety of our school and put us well ahead of the Federal Government’s National Safe Schools Framework.

Charter At the beginning of Term Three this year, Trinity College attended the launch of the Charter – a proclamation of an authentic expression of Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice Tradition.

Mr Peter Bothe

This charter was the culmination of some two years of work where the eleven defining cultural characteristics of the thirty eight Australian Edmund Rice schools were distilled and refined. This Charter has become the blueprint for the College in ensuring that we remain true to the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice and to the wonderful legacy given to us by the Christian Brothers.

East Perth Regional Development Authority We have had a long standing dialogue with the East Perth Regional Development Authority and I am delighted that Trinity College is well positioned to be a major player in the East Perth redevelopment. The College will benefit from the surrounding improved infrastructure. While there will be a number of challenges, there will also be significant opportunities in the way that we find ourselves positioned at the gateway of this magnificent city in future years.

Strategic Plan During this year, the College Board also undertook a strategic planning process facilitated by Dr Liz Pattison. Staff, students, parents and community members helped define a vision for the future of Trinity College.

Management Structure Review

4

The College undertook a management structure review during 2004. This review was designed to examine the current model of management at Trinity College in the light of the future demands of schooling. The implementation of the Curriculum Framework in the Middle School years and the full implementation of the Courses of Study within the Post Compulsory Framework will be addressed in our new structure. Our continuing vision is to be the leader in boys’ education, and to enhance our teaching and learning by leading best practice in the Middle Schooling movement. For these reasons the College will be organised in 2005

Staff Welfare – Human Resources Officer

Both the management structure review and the Strategic Plan identified the need for the provision of enhanced staff welfare services in the future. We will appoint a Human Resources Officer who will have a major role in assisting the College management in the professional formation of all of the College’s staff.

Community Relations Officer The Strategic Plan also identified the role of a Community Relations Officer as being significant in the future of the College. This role will be mainly about ensuring the communication between the various agencies in the College, including our parent body, former students and each of the College’s other identified key stakeholders.

Staffing Some long serving staff members had a change of position during this year. Mr Rob Marshall has been associated with the College for over twenty one years in various capacities. Mr Marshall’s incredible dedication to Trinity College over so many years has left a fine legacy.

Mr John Geekie, currently Head of the English Learning Area has been promoted to the position of Dean of Students at Newman College from the beginning of 2005. John has been a wonderful advocate of the Trinity experience for many years.

Mr Greg Hill retired during the year after 18 years of dedicated service to the College. In addition, Mr Mark Duffy will take up a position at Waverly College in Sydney after six years of fine service to Trinity.

Mr Ray Kosovich has led Trinity College Rowing for the past 14 years. He will step aside from this role in 2005. During the last three years, Mr Kosovich has presided over successful Hamer Cup teams, culminating this year with the Hamer Cup, Challenge Cup double.

Principal’s Address Administration

Anyone close to rowing will know the enormous amount of time that is required in this area. Anyone who knows Mr Kosovich will also know the level of dedication that he has brought to this role and we are indebted to him for the wonderful rowers that the College has produced in the last few years.

Trinity teachers make it a “badge of honour” to coach the boys they teach, and teach the boys they coach, not only in the skills of sport, but in the manner of sportsmanship and team play that have seen Trinity’s reputation on the sporting field reach enviable proportions in the last few years.

Four Pillars The four guiding pillars of Trinity College are Faith Development, Academic Excellence, Music and Sport

The College now has a wonderful new aquatic centre that will assist us in providing a quality aquatics program for each of our boys.

Faith Development

State of the College

The College’s faith development, our model of Head, Heart and Hands, meaning Religious Education instruction, retreat programs and Christian Service is a model that is admired and has been adopted by many other Catholic schools in Western Australia.

At the end of 2004 Trinity College is in a very strong position. The College Board has adopted a ten year financial strategy which will ensure the strong financial viability of the College, while keeping our fees at an affordable level and providing the level of service expected by our community.

The College has committed resources to these three pivotal areas of the College’s education. The number of students completing their Senior Project in Christian Service and the level of demand for the Kairos retreats is an indication of the worth of these programs.

Academic Excellence Our new management structure is designed to enhance the academic outcomes for every one of our boys, not just those who aspire to the TEE. Trinity College has been a leader in providing vocational education to the whole range of students.

The development of the Senior Enterprise Programme provides another avenue for students to achieve the best possible outcomes for their future.

Music The College has a phenomenal participation rate in music and artistic activities. This year, for the second time, Trinity College was awarded the Zenith Shield for the most outstanding school in the Western Australian Catholic Education Performing Arts Festival.

This is a wonderful credit to all of the musicians, to their tutors and especially to Dr Robert Braham in his role as Director of Music of the College.

Enrolments are at capacity and sadly, many fine young Catholic students are unable to gain a place at the school of their choice, Trinity College. Our reputation is at an all time high due to the great work of every single representative of the Trinity College community during the past few years.

Trinity has shown its capacity to be a school that truly produces “Men for Others.’ The balance of our programs ensures that we are a truly inclusive school.

We will proudly continue to provide places for the aboriginal boys who do so much to enrich our lives.

Our commitment to the Mary Rice Centre is also an indication that we will not lose sight of the mission of our Founder, Blessed Edmund Rice to minister to the poor and marginalised of our society.

The most important reason why Trinity College is so strong at the moment is because of the quality of the staff that are currently employed at the College. From the grounds, maintenance, teaching, support, administration, canteen, clothing shop and Chaplain, the level of dedication and professionalism of the Trinity College staff is peerless. Their willingness to work beyond normal expectations to ensure the

Our Strategic Plan clearly identified the need for a Community Arts Centre as the most urgent building requirement at the College. The College will work with EPRA and various other groups in Perth in planning for an iconic riverside structure that will enhance both Trinity College and the gateway to the city.

Sport Our College is all about providing opportunities for each student to be the best they can be in every way.

For many of our boys, sport happens to be one of these ways. 2004 was the College’s equal best sporting year ever with the Challenge Cup and Hamer Cup victories in Term One followed by the Alcock Cup victory in football, the undefeated run to the Peter Moyes Cup for Cross Country and Alcock Shield victory in athletics in Term Three.

Principal’s Address Administration

welfare of each individual student is a magnificent example to every educator in this country.

The College Board, are charged with the onerous responsibility of the ongoing and future welfare of the College. I am grateful for their willingness to complete their tasks with such insight. The Ladies’ Auxiliary provides wonderful support for so many of the College’s functions throughout the year. The Parent Council provides great support in consultation on educational matters and in many social activities. The 2004 Family Fair was an indication of the passion and energy of this group.

The “Friends” of each of the sports and activities in the College community are quite unique to Trinity College and it makes us truly the “family” school. The Friends of Music support our Music program and the parents who assist us so generously in the canteen and clothing store make the provision of these services possible.

The Trinity Old Boys’ Association concern themselves about the future welfare of each Trinity graduate and support the ongoing operation of the College.

6

Trinity’s young men are exceptional people. By any measure this has been a stunning year of success for Trinity. The leadership of our seniors, the “Class of 2004.” has been inspirational in many College endeavours. From Kairos to the classrooms to the Concert Hall, from the Canning River to Perry lakes to the sporting fields we have witnessed their unapologetic pursuit of excellence. The class of 2004 has gone where there was no path and blazed a trail for future generations of boys to follow.

The Prefects have made a fabulous contribution to the culture of the College. David Rossbach (School Captain) and Ronan Fahey (Vice Captain) have led the community admirably this year. They have contributed to securing our future.

Conclusion In conclusion, I thank each member of the College staff and the College Executive for their spirit, the gifts, the talent, the inspiration and dedication that they bring to their roles every day. Ours is truly a most welcoming community, full of creativity, fun and Christian selflessness.

Charter Administration

Reflections of the Leader of the Christian Brothers in South Australia and Western Australia

I

n July of this year (2004) the Holy Spirit Province of the Christian Brothers launched a new Charter for its schools.

The document is called ‘The Charter for Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice Tradition’.

This Charter is the key document for the operation of all Christian Brother schools (Br) Kevin P. Ryan in Australia and has also been launched in the other three Christian Brother Provinces in Australia.

I share with you some of the key elements of my speeches to the board members, staff members and Christian Brothers at the various launch ceremonies.

Thank you all for being here today. I acknowledge that all of you will have brought with you different experiences and feelings to this day. Some of you will have come with a sense of energy and excitement as you begin a new term. Some will have come with the experience of a wonderful holiday with family or friends. Others will not be feeling so fired up about returning to work, and some may even be dealing with unexpected disruption to their lives, personally, in a relationship or within their families. As you listen to what I have to say, and as you read the Charter which I am about to proclaim to you, DO NOT set these feelings and experiences aside. Let what I say speak to you as you are, let the Charter speak to you as you are, today, in this moment in time. That is where God is at work in your life.

This is a very significant day in the life of any Christian Brother in this room. This occasion, and several more around Australia like this, is a momentous occasion for what is now coming to be known as Catholic Education in the Edmund Rice tradition, which operates in 38 schools around Australia. It is a significant moment of growth in the schools of Holy Spirit Province in South Australia and Western Australia. And it is a special day for your school.

There is rightly and understandably a lot of discussion about the future governance of Christian Brother schools in Australia. Some of you have been, some of you are, and some in the future will be involved in discussions and planning about that matter.

DO NOT LET THAT MATTER DISTRACT YOU! You have more important things to do!

That more important thing to do is to be a very significant part of the living expression of this Charter today, tomorrow and in the months ahead.

Today I am joining with all the members of the Province Leadership Team in South and Western Australia, and joining with the three other Christian Brother Province Leaders in Australia. We are mandating Christian Brother Schools in Australia to express and develop their life and mission in the way that is described in this Charter.

There will be one Charter but there will be a great diversity of expression due to local circumstances.

Let us ponder that. In Australia there are thirty eight schools being formally committed to this Charter.

Since 1868, the Gospel of Jesus has been shared in this country from a particular Edmund Rice perspective. We are building upon that work, with all its flaws and all its gifts. In 1993 this Province proclaimed its own perspective of Catholic education in the Edmund Rice tradition in the “Vision for the Future” document. Our boards and schools have courageously endeavoured to bring that Vision to life in our nine schools. This Charter does not set aside that document or that work; it tries to build upon it in the light of our experience, the current cultural and social realities in Australia, our deepening understanding of Edmund Rice, and our deepening understanding of the Gospel of Jesus and God’s dream for the world and for us.

In four or five year’s time, this Charter too will be updated. While I am unlikely to be involved with that process, I would quite confidently predict that the Charter will express a sharper edge, a more Gospel edge, an even more challenging mission when that process comes to fruition.

The Dangers! What are they? One danger is that you individually, or as schools, read through the Charter as if it was a skills check list to see what you are already doing or could do. That is not to say that we do not need to explore each of the cultural characteristics carefully and systematically and to see what we are,

Charter Administration

or could be doing to bring that characteristic alive in our schools. But we need to allow the underlying energy of this Charter to take over our minds and hearts so that we can begin seeing the implications and consequences of being mandated with this Charter. Implications and challenges that you and I have not even imagined, yet alone implemented.

So let’s begin the journey with this Charter as our space-craft. Let’s fly above the world and look at it through the eyes of our loving, energetic, creative Trinity God, and through the eyes of Edmund. Let’s imagine ourselves as the most loving, just, Spirit filled people that you and I can be. Let’s imagine ourselves as taken over by this Charter and its energy and spirit.

To whom and what are our eyes and hearts attracted as we gaze lovingly at this world? Who and what do we want to reach out and touch, to hold, to heal and make whole, to reprimand, to challenge, to bring to the fullness of life? If you and I are open to that loving, energetic, creative Trinity God that Jesus has told us about in his life and stories, then the answer becomes clear. While we are called to try to embrace all, it is to the most fragile, hurting and marginalised that we are most attracted. With the eyes and heart of Edmund, we are not only called to comfort and hold but are called to challenge, to empower and liberate, by giving the language, the practical skills and attitudes, and faithgift that allows people to grow to be fully human and spirit-filled people - to recognise the spark of the divine in them and in all that surrounds them in their day to day lives. We are called, like Jesus, ‘to give them life and give it to the full’ (Jn 10:10).

We are called as Edmund Rice schools to deal with this Charter in the light of the realities of our lives, the lives of our students and the country in which they live. We know that the young men and women with whom we live and work are in many ways beautiful and inspiring people. We also know that many young people today are exhibiting a growing tendency to binge drinking.

8

That is one aspect of some of the realities of the health of young adults today in Australia. Similarly, we can say that we are living in a peaceful, free and democratic country which is physically beautiful. Yet, as we say that, we also know that our current national government has effectively let the agenda of reconciliation as it relates to Indigenous people quietly slip off the national agenda. It could also be argued that the current negotiations with the East Timor government over oil and gas fields are less than just!

As your leader from now until 2008 I ask you, I challenge, I beg you to let that spark of spirituality grow in you, and I am talking to all of you whether you are Catholic or not, whether you are Christian or not. Let this Charter speak to your attitudes, to your skills, talk to your heart, to your inner self and let yourself be open to the Spirit people, to the Spirit places and to the Spirit events in your life. Open your heart to the Spirit of Edmund who can lead you to the Gospel of Love and Justice, to the Gospel of Jesus.

It is with great excitement that I launch this Charter in this Province and in your school. We, the members of the Province Leadership Team and the Province Formation Team, humbly offer to walk beside you in the coming years to explore its implications and implementation.

May the Spirit of Jesus, the man of love and justice, and the spirit of Edmund, live in our hearts.

I am sure that over the next year or so that your school will share more with you about this Charter. However, if you would like a copy now, do not hesitate to contact your school or the Province office of the Christian Brothers in Perth.

I thank you for your wonderful support of Catholic education in the Edmund Rice tradition and wish you well for 2005.

Br Kevin P Ryan Province Leader

College Board Administration

This group of hard working and dedicated people have spent this past year analysing the ongoing needs and requirements of our College. This task has meant a great deal of behind-the-scenes work and many hours of study and deliberation before major decisions were made. I thank every member of the College Board for this dedication and the great gift that they all give to the College. At the end of this year we say farewell to two members of our Board, Denis Waddell and Julie Coleman. I thank them both for their support and talents that they have given so wisely and willingly during their term of office.

Strategic Plan: This year marked the end of our current strategic plan and the obvious need for a new plan to take us into the next five years. It is strongly linked with a five year financial plan that supports the indicated need for upgrading the future facilities in the physical sense and also in relation to the staff and student numbers. The response from our community has meant that the Board was left with no doubt as to what it is that makes Trinity College the special place that it is. It also shows what needs to be done at our College to ensure that we continue to produce young men of great integrity and moral strength for the future ahead and to provide the facilities and educational needs of all our young men. We would like to see smaller classes in the Junior School and also feel a strong sense of concern for the welfare of our staff. It is a difficult task to meet all perceived needs whilst minimizing the financial impact on families. Thank you to all the parents, staff and wider community who contributed towards the planning for this strategic direction.

The Charter: The launch of this defining document marks the beginning of new era in the Christian Brothers’ involvement in education. It acknowledges that there are many stakeholders now involved in the Edmund Rice Family throughout Australia and the broader world community. The document gives us a continual point of reference to keep us focused and aware of our responsibilities in leading the way in providing a holistic education for all graduates of our College.

Governance: We are all aware that in the future there will be less Christian Brothers actively involved in our day to day life at the College. Much work has been done to ensure that we do not lose what it is to be an Edmund Rice School and to this end our Board has been working closely with the Province Leadership Team to put in place a long term plan to ensure that this ethos and tradition is not lost nor diminished in any way. We continue to work with other schools in our state that are also part of the Edmund Rice family to maintain and strengthen the links of our common history, tradition and culture. Trinity will always remain independent, catholic and a school in the Edmund Rice tradition whilst continually building on the uniqueness of having five “Brother” schools to support us

in our journey of the education of young men who pass through our gates.

Building And Grounds: Led by Chairperson, Moira Sinagra, this sub committee has been working hard putting in place many benefits for the whole community. You only have to look around the campus to see the fruits of their labour. The outside area of the Junior School is providing another environment of learning for the boys as well as enhancing the entry. This committee has also been working closely with the East Perth Redevelopment Authority to ensure the future plans of this region support and enhance all that Trinity College has to offer. Rest assured that we are here to stay and that all other parties who are involved in the redevelopment of this region see Trinity as an integral part of this community. I thank the members of this committee for their hard work and dedication.

Marketing: Chairperson, Julie Coleman and her committee have spent many hours working on upgrading our College web site. I am sure you will agree that the finished product was well worth their time and effort. The Board believes that we are indeed fortunate to be in a position of not really needing to “advertise” the College in the sense of seeking enrolments, however we do acknowledge the need to keep all parties involved and informed and up to date with all that is going on in our busy world. Again I say thank you to this small but dynamic group of people whose talents never cease to amaze me.

Finance: As mentioned earlier in my report, the Finance Committee led by Chairperson, Wayne Zekulich, have had the difficult task this year of producing a fair, yet strong financial plan that will support our next five year strategic plan and keep the College in a sound and viable position as a leading school for boys’ education.

Their sense of propriety and good business acumen has meant that the financial plan is sensible and well supported and achievable. It also means that we are building a sound and secure financial future for the College. I am indebted to this committee for the continued diligence and attention to the finer details of our financial viability.

Finally I wish to thank our Principal, Mr Peter Bothe; Mr Michael Burgess, our hard working Bursar, and the entire staff of Trinity College for their continuing support and encouragement throughout this year. We are a truly blessed community to have so many selfless people working towards a common goal.

Thank you to all the parents who continue to offer support both financially and physically to the College. It is through this support that we can truly say we are a strong community.

Mr Michael Burgess Bursar

004 has proved to be another active year at Trinity. It started with the arrival of the new Principal, Mr. Peter Bothe, who is progressively laying the foundations for the future of the College and concludes with the development of the new strategic plan which will start the process.

The 2004 Budget approved by the board was again very tight. However we have been able o continue the refurbishment and development of areas around the college. The new swimming pool was completed, a student services area was established, work has commenced on the refurbishment of the grounds at Waterford and further technology was installed. The following pie charts give a brief view of the income sources and expenditure areas for 2004.

In 2004 we have continued to ensure that the Christian Brothers’ ethos has been maintained whilst at the same time upholding a fair but strong collection procedure to enable the College cash flow to be maintained.

Improvements There were a number of improvements generally throughout the college, which included: • Increase in the levy paid to the Trustees of the Christian Brothers Inc (WA &SA) to assist the trustees to prepare for the care of the older Brothers.

• The appointment of an aquatics teacher who will coordinate a Year 4 to 12 swimming programme.

• Two additional teachers to ensure that all teachers are given enough time to involve themselves in the education of your child/children.

• The appointment of an aboriginal teacher’s assistant to continue the development of our students.

Administration Staff During 2004 the staff continued to be committed to the life of Trinity. They have been able to stay in contact with parents to assist them with school fee payment arrangements and have maintained an efficient account management process. Without them I would not be able to assist the college management to focus on both the day to day affairs and the development of future plans.

Farewell to Rob Marshall Administration

T

he difficulty remembering Rob’s time at Trinity is the danger of leaving out something significant that Rob contributed in his time at the college. Rob was a student of Trinity in the class of ’75. In those days, he wore his hair long as was the fashion. He returned in 1979, to be Trinity Sports Master from 1980 to 1990. When he was head of PE he shared an office under the back of Gibney Hall in what is now the boardroom. Rob came back in 1997 and stayed until the end of Term Two 2004 as Deputy and acting Head of Secondary Rob worked very hard and long hours. He was president of PSA and president of CSDPA. Being a former sports master, he was passionate about the school's athletics and devoted a great deal of time to the development of this year's successful team. He was also involved in tennis coaching, pastoral council, academic council, the all schools Edmund Rice Mass in 2002, TOBA, Edmund Rice Outreach, founding “parent” of the Senior Enterprise programme, camps, uniform committee, IT committee, numerous working parties, timetabling, speech night, supervisions, exams, assemblies, tours, reports, RE, policy documentation, CEO committees and the list goes on.

to detail. We might regard most people who pay so much attention to detail as obsessive, but there was another side of Rob. As a counsellor, he always found the positive angle, never showing even the slightest hint of frustration or anger. Rob Marshall could persuade parents who were fuming that someone had maligned their son, to smiling and admitting that their son needed to mend his ways. Students remember him as patient and caring, and not one to lose his cool. Staff members wondered why, when they went into his office with a “mission”, they walked out pondering how they had been talked into a different perspective. Few know of the concern Rob showed to individual old boys, and families in crisis – using his contacts to get old boys part time jobs, or assisting a particular old boy who has a mental health problem.

He was a quiet achiever who could be very persuasive.

We miss him. We wish him well in his new position as Deputy Principal, of Chisholm College where he will certainly be an inestimable asset as he was to Trinity.

All these commitments spelled hard work and late nights.

It was not out of the ordinary for emails from Rob to show times two or three o’clock in the morning. Through all of this Rob was a man who always had time for the individual student or staff member. “No” was not a word in his vocabulary when it came to requests made of his time. He expected no less from others. He was unbending when it came to getting the results he expected. He would say to the students ‘you have to take it to another level’.

Rob was a person who believed in the ‘one percenters’ – the details man. Many things fell into place around Trinity because of Rob’s organisational skills and attention

Chaplain Pastoral

God, Jesus and the Relay Race G

od spent a fair bit of time getting people to write things on his behalf. We call this the Old Testament. He sent many men and women to reinforce the message but they often had mixed both personal and community success. God knew a thing or two. He invented the saying ‘actions speak louder than words.’

That is why he sent his Son Jesus, the body language of God. Jesus was so impressive a character that people listened to him, talked about him and finally wrote about him. God the Father wanted to make sure that after going to all the trouble of the word made flesh, that people would not reduce the following of Jesus to mere glib words. He wanted people to live the Jesus model, inspired by his teaching and in the context of the world in which they live. To me this is one of the prime reasons for a Christian school. All teachers and staff have the obligation of passing on to the pupils a credible and realistic Christ-like life style.

Then the pupils take on this challenge and the process continues. The baton passes from God the Father to Jesus and then on to all who have been struck by the sheer integrity and fascination of the Christ. At the end of each year the baton changing takes place. Please God, it is safe in the hands of staff and pupils.

Aboriginal Student Support and Parent Awareness Committee (ASSPA) T

his year thirty-two Indigenous boys attended Trinity College from Years 8 to 12. We have two Aboriginal staff members, Mr John Jacky our Aboriginal Liaison Officer and me as the Aboriginal Teaching Assistant.

It has been a very successful year for the college with indigenous student participation in many areas including the PSA sporting arena, a number of individual arts awards, the GIG Dance team and the recent Catholic schools music award for 2004.

Mr John Jacky Indigenous Liaison Officer

We exposed the students to many opportunities to extend their educational and vocational horizons, to encourage them to develop relationships and networks with others, and to be “men for others.”

One of the highlights for the year was the Year 10, 11 and 12 boys’ participation on a Leeuwin Day Sail, which was part of a team building exercise. Other projects included the Year 8 and 9 camps to Camp Kelly in Dwellingup with Mr Jacky and Mr Nugent.

They looked at goal setting and organisational skills formation. There has been a close working relationship with our Chaplain Father Michael McMahon. Mr John Puertollano and Ms Kylie Agale from the CEO established the Indigenous Catholic Youth Support Group, a regional network of

20

Indigenous secondary students from all our Catholic schools and colleges in the Perth area. We developed a spiritual liturgy with an indigenous perspective using the ceremony of earth, fire and water.

The Reconciliation Assembly on 17 August was a great celebration. The traditional Nyungar Welcome was spoken and sung by Mr Kim Collard, Mrs Robyn Collard from the CEO gave the keynote address, Shamis Bin Sali (Year 11) and Mr Lindsay Haji Ali from Clontarf College played the didgeridoo. There was a fantastic performance by Ms Ruth Bott’s GIG dance group. This was followed by the usual kangaroo stew and damper lunch, cooked by Mrs Madge Hill, Nyungar elder and grandmother.

We continue to explore innovative ways to help the Aboriginal boys with their study demands. We are outsourcing to a specialist tutoring franchise for our after school homework classes.

This year we have proposed and implemented many new and exciting ventures. We strive to encourage local employers and a variety of guest speakers to address and meet the boys, to help them develop long-term aspirations.

On behalf of the ASSPA committee and John Jacky, I wish to thank the staff and the Trinity College community for the opportunities and welcoming me to the College staff.

Counsellor Pastoral

It is always somewhat difficult to write an annual report that is sufficiently different to the one written in the previous year. The sentiments expressed year in, year out do not vary. We are blessed with an exceptional community and quite an extraordinary school. My Mr Brad Nugent gratitude for the presence of Counsellor them in our lives can only be expressed using a finite combination of adjectives. So please forgive me if I am at all repetitive in this year’s report.

While striving for excellence continues to remain a constant at Trinity, there have been considerable changes in 2004. Mr Peter Bothe has assumed the role of principal and his support of staff and students has been greatly appreciated. A review of the College management structure has resulted in changes that will facilitate the provision of even better pastoral care, by virtue of more streamlined communication channels. The College has also been reviewing the ways in which student data is collected and distributed to relevant staff members, including consideration of such issues as confidentiality and the use of technology to facilitate the process.

A new counsellor referral process has been initiated, tightening the lines of communication between all concerned parties and allowing for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the provision of counselling services. The process now includes Heads of Year as the key referral point and provides clear boundaries for the roles to be played by different members of staff in the pastoral care of our students.

The major result of these initiatives is that students at risk will be better supported. Risk factors such as the presence of learning disabilities, emotional disturbance or social difficulties have the potential to be easily overlooked or simply disguised as poor behaviour. In colloquial terms, these students have often ‘slipped through the net’. While Trinity staff members have always been proactive in identifying and monitoring such students, the changes occurring at the College will enable the provision of more appropriate and timely assistance.

The College stance on bullying and harassment has continued to be a focus during the year. We have aimed to educate the students about the long-term impacts of such behaviour. It is planned that the College policy in this area will be reviewed and updated in 2005, with an emphasis being placed on strategies to promote positive behaviours. In a related area, the promotion of mental health has also been a major focus this year. For instance, all Year 10 students completed a mental health unit in their Health

Education course where they gained an overview of mental illnesses and an understanding of community attitudes to these illnesses.

I have no doubt that students and parents alike will be able to quite accurately report my tendency to talk in abstract notions when referring to the Trinity College community. Campus Ministry have prompted another successful initiative that has made concrete some of these ephemeral qualities. Under the guidance of Br Rob Callen, Mr Ken O’Neil and the thirteen members of the Year 12 Cadre group, 2005 saw the successful running of our inaugural Quest retreat. I extend my gratitude and appreciation to all those involved in this retreat. It was a very moving and fulfilling experience to be permitted to participate in this event and to witness the induction of our Year 8s into the ethos of Trinity College.

Although the Counselling Department at Trinity College officially consists of just one person, there are a multitude of others who contribute to the day to day work of the Counsellor. In particular, it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of the staff at the Mary Rice Centre who go above and beyond the call of duty in ministering to the needs and abilities of a wide range of students. The Centre is a most welcoming environment, thanks to the good humour and caring nature of the staff. I would like to sincerely thank Mrs Sue Prior, Mrs Marie Zwart, Mrs Karen Tyler, Mrs Christine Nash, Mrs Gerri Vanpraag and Mrs Joanne Hussein for their friendship and professionalism.

Additionally, I would like to make mention of the successful introduction of our Senior Enterprise Programme. Mrs Marie Zwart and the other staff involved in running the programme have created a viable alternative pathway for our students to achieve TAFE qualifications while gaining valuable vocational experience. It has been pleasing to see the progress made by many of the students participating in this programme.

I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the herculean efforts of several individuals. Father Michael McMahon, has continued to provide spiritual guidance and down to earth pastoral care to our students and staff. He brings into the reality of everyday those qualities of compassion and dedication that are sometimes difficult to grasp.

Mr John Jacky, tirelessly strives for the best outcomes for our indigenous students. Our Heads of Year, manage to perform their often thankless tasks with awe-inspiring commitment and generosity. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to work this year with people of this calibre and I look forward to doing so again in 2005.

Trinity Old Boys’ Association TOBA

key factor will be the appointment of an Administration Manager to ensure that the planned activities are successfully planned and implemented. The Executive Committee believes that a strong Association will enable effective support for the College.

I congratulate the College on the completion of the Remembrance Wall. Eventually the Wall will display the names of all Old Boys from each year group on a brass plaque.

Mr Les Conceicao TOBA President

O

n behalf of the Members of the Association, I would like to commence by thanking the Members of the Executive Committee for their efforts over the past year. In particular, I thank the hard work

by Mike Jansen who has resigned from his position of Treasurer. Mike has ably undertaken this difficult role over the past five years. We also thank Rob Marshall who has left the Committee to take up his new role with Chisholm College. The Committee will also miss his role as a highly effective College Liaison officer.

We welcome Michael Cassidy into the role of Treasurer.

The Association has successfully held a Golf Day in April with over forty Old Boys playing in the tournament for the Taggart Family Cup. The Trinity Sunday Mass in the College Chapel was also successful and it was good to see a number of members of the Trinity community attend this Mass as well as Old Boys. The Old Boys Sports Day was very successful with a large number of Old Boys participating in football, hockey, rugby, soccer and cross-country. Congratulations to the students in winning the Brendan Ryan Cup. Brendan honoured us with his attendance. He continues to inspire all those who meet him with his sustained courage and determination.

On behalf of the Members, I would like take this opportunity to congratulate the Trinity Old Boys who represented Australia on the 2004 Athens Olympics: John Steffensen (Athletics – Silver Medal), Antony Matkovich (Swimming – Silver Medal), Ben Cureton (Rowing – Silver Medal), Stefan Szczurowski (Rowing – Bronze Medal), Travis Nederpelt (Swimming) and Jeremy McCLure (Paralympics).

Finally, the Executive Committee is formulating a strategic plan to clarify its role and ascertain how it can best serve the future interests of the Association’s Members and the College. A key aspect of the plan will be a stronger focus on activities that benefit the Members of the Association such as business lunches and a structured approach to arranging functions such as class reunions.

22

We need to ensure that logistical factors (such as Member contact lists) are continuously updated and maintained for such activities to be successful. Another

Together with the Members of the Executive Committee, I look forward to an exciting period in the development of the Association over the next few years.

Parent Council Parent Council

T

he Parent Council, now in its eleventh year, consists of a group of parents who represent the school community and who meet on a regular basis with the school Principal and the Head of Primary. Our objectives are to: • • • • •

Assist with community building within the College Provide feedback to the administrative team Organise social activities Assist with parent education Organise Fete and fundraising activities.

Each year our first task is to host the Parent Council Sundowner, held in Centenary Park. It is an evening designed for parents, especially those new to the school, to meet with other members of the community.

For many this was the first opportunity to meet with our new Principal, Peter Bothe. This year the school made available the use of its telescope and many parents and staff were able to view Mars, which was at its full splendour for the evening.

School Open Day was the next event on the Parent Council calendar and as usual, the respective students

gave visitors guided tours of both the Senior and Junior Schools.

The Parent Council was more involved in organizing the Parent Ball this year, making use of the wonderful decorations provided for the Year 12 Ball. This has proved to be an extremely popular event and if you would like to go next year, it is advisable to get in early.

Ian Lillico’s information evening this year was in a different format, but still very eye opening. We are planning future talks for 2005 from different speakers, possibly one in each of the four terms.

The Parent Council has eighteen members, which is slightly more than previous years. I would like to thank all members for their input at meetings and for their help at the various functions throughout the year.

I have come to the end of my term on the Council.

Special thanks go to the other retiring members Robyn Jennison, Alan Moody and Rick Sneeuwjagt Gary Scott President

Support Services Opportunity Shop – Retirement of Mrs Margaret Atherton

24

Margaret joined the College formally in 1995 to manage the Opportunity Shop, but her involvement with the shop actually spans some 30 years. During the past ten years Margaret, along with current assistant Lorraine English and many former

Mrs Margaret Atherton

assistants, have helped a number of parents afford a uniform for their son. With the money raised from sales of second-hand uniforms, Margaret has been able to direct monies into minor capital projects such as the purchase of rowing sculls in 1996, blankets for the swimming pool, renovations at the Waterford Playing Fields and the Centenary Fence project. The College community has much to be grateful for.

Thank you Margaret and Lorraine.

Family Fair FAIR

T

he Fair has come and gone. What a fantastic day!

Many hours of hard work were contributed by a dedicated group of people that made up the Organising Committee who started meeting on a regular basis in February. I sincerely thank this group for their suggestions, help and friendship.

The next step was to find Supervisors for the different Fair areas. Some areas were easier to fill than others and after numerous phone calls, gentle persuasion and outright bribery these positions were filled, one by a parent who does not even have a son at the school.

Their help was greatly appreciated.

It was a huge undertaking to find volunteers to fill the position of Stall Manager for well over fifty different stalls.

There were at least ten stalls that did not happen because no one could run them. Those stalls would have would have added quite substantially to the overall total.

On the day of the Fair we had in excess of three hundred helpers and without their help we would not have been able to hold this event. I thank these volunteers.

The generosity of the many companies, families and individuals who donated goods and services was invaluable. As usual the Trinity staff and students were generous with their time and help.

To run and set up a Fair requires a huge amount of effort from many people and the question is often raised about the viability of such a project. Besides raising extra capital for the school, I feel the day also offers a great deal more. It is an opportunity for the entire school community to come together for a day of fun and friendship. An event like this also provides a chance to meet people you otherwise would not meet and the chance to showcase the spirit of Trinity College.

I thoroughly enjoyed coordinating the Fair and urge the entire school community to get behind the next one.

Canteen This year has seen a change in staff in the canteen. We hope our friendly faces will encourage an increase in volunteers, for without our mums and dads helping us it would be a difficult job to keep the canteen running at such reduced prices. If you Mrs Carol Watson Canteen Manager would like to come along and help we would love to see you even for a few hours. It’s fun and very rewarding knowing that you are helping your son’s school.

please come along and join us for a cuppa and a chat – and we do lots of chatting.

Ladies Auxilary

I

f there was one event in the year which showcased Trinity's style and pride then "The Morning Tea with Betty Cuthbert would certainly take top billing! It was a thrill to meet a true champion (not only in the sporting arena) as her own struggle brings joy, hope and inspiration to many. This was certainly a team effort. I sincerely thank all who helped and attended, to make the morning so very special.

Our meetings throughout the year have been strongly supported and the feedback has been positive and very encouraging. The Ladies Auxiliary role is to support the school with its various functions, with a little fundraising along the way with the emphasis being on the word FUN!! It is this fun and friendship which make our Trinity community so special.

With our events such as the Annual Wine Night and Morning Tea we are able to help fund a few small but important projects for the school. We have recently purchased a new cordless microphone and hope to support projects like garden seating, water fountains and some shading for the school. Our job is worthwhile and truly satisfying when we can support the school and provide some small extras for our sons

Thankyou to my wonderful committee, Mrs. Roxanne Pendreigh, Michelle Marinovich, Margaret Ker, Martina Stroud and special mention to Patsy Colan for originating the idea of coordinating the lost property.

Sue Cummusky has done an enormous effort once again in coordinating the Waterford morning teas.

Thank you to all the loyal and hardworking helpers.

Nothing is ever too much trouble and it is truly gratifying and humbling to be a part of "that special Trinity feel"! The Trinity network always supports us in whatever we do, so I give grateful thanks to all, in particular the administration, ground and catering staff who all help to make our job so much easier.

I would like to thank our new Principal Mr. Peter Bothe for allowing us to support the college and for his genuine gratitude.

The year has flown by once again we look forward to a bright New Year full of hope, peace and gratitude.

Curtis Aquatic Centre Administration

Opening of the Curtis Aquatic Centre T

he Most Reverend Barry J Hickey officially opened the Curtis Aquatic Centre on Wednesday, 17 November 2004.

Special guests for the occasion were Mr Tony Curtis, Principal of the College (1994-2003), his wife Elizabeth and members of their family.

The College’s aquatic programmes have been enhanced due to the vision and planning of the College’s administration in constructing a state of the art 50m pool incorporating an international class water polo facility.

All PSA water polo fixtures are now being played in the Curtis Aquatic Centre. The College looks forward to improved performances in swimming in the coming years.

A very relieved group – Tony Curtis, Michael Burgess, Peter Buckett, Peter Bothe and Michael Beech.

Behind the scenes.

Fr Michael McMahon blesses our pool.

Property Manager Grounds and Maintenance

T

his year, as usual, has been very busy for the maintenance and grounds team.

I would like to thank all my staff for their hard work and dedication to the safe and efficient running of the college buildings and grounds.

Mr Glenn Pianto Property Services Manager

We are currently undergoing major renovations at the Waterford Playing Fields which will include removing the existing car park, relocation of the tennis courts to the northern boundary and the construction of 2 new turf wickets. This is part of a 2 – 3 year project which will eventually see the entire complex automatically reticulated.

We have recently employed a new grounds person at Waterford and I would like to welcome Miss Renee Stewart to the team and hope she has a long and prosperous stay with the college.

Mr. Graham Warne, Waterford Head Groundsman, took the opportunity this winter to enjoy his long service leave, Graham spent many weeks touring through the United States of America and, as he intends to work for Trinity until aged 104, he will have at least another five long service leaves to look forward to.

At the East Perth Campus, our Head Groundsman, Mr. Ross Beatson continues to impress everyone with the brilliant condition that he manages to maintain on the ovals and grounds. Ross has been one of the driving forces behind the Waterford redevelopment and is a key member of the college’s building and grounds committee.

28

guard , bus driver etc ) Max is expanding his current role within the college campus and has agreed to take on the extra duties involved in assisting the grounds team with the garden beds and rolling the turf wickets.

It has also been a very busy year for the forgotten people in the maintenance department, the two men who work tirelessly behind the scenes play a major part in making sure the day to day running of the school is maintained in the best possible condition.

Lawrie Dodd, our carpenter extraordinaire, has overcome major knee surgery earlier in the year after an unfortunate motocross accident and has produced some of his finest work for the recent Trinity Family Fair.

Lawrie helped the Fair committee raise several thousand dollars by boxing and framing all the jumpers on offer at the silent auction. Well done Lawrie and keep up the great work!

My sincere thanks must also go out to Mr. Graeme Hunter who has been working for the college for more than 23 years. Those of you who know Graeme will be aware of his Technophobia and aversion to change, so you will be surprised to hear that he has recently embraced computer technology and is becoming more and more familiar with sending and receiving emails and responding to maintenance requests sent via them.

Lastly I would like to thank a former employee, now contractor of the college, Mr. Gary Stilwell. Gary is the man who maintains the gymnasium and the yards.

He is also responsible for maintaining and cleaning the new swimming pool. This is an incredible effort considering the pool must be checked and tested twice daily 365 days a year.

Ross is ably assisted by Mr. James Scott. James has finally agreed to commence full time employment with the college after working on a casual basis for the last few years, I am sure his enthusiasm and versatility will bring many rewards to the college.

After several early problems the pool is proving to be a major asset to the college community and I am sure that under Gary’s care it will be a shinning centre piece for many years to come.

Liam Kennedy SIGNUM FIDEI ART AWARD

Valedictory Address A

fter five years at Trinity College, there are certain things that truly represent what it is to be a member of this fine school.

The Celtic Cross that reminds us of the history and traditions of Trinity; our famous victory rumbles after David Rossbach sporting triumph; the Trinity Head Prefect colours worn proudly by students and supporters alike and then there is the symbol that stands out for me as the image I associate with being a TC student – the three crowns on our school crest. The crowns stand of course for the Holy Trinity, but they also mean so much more. A crown is an emblem of victory and this year has certainly seen Trinity crowned as the winners of many prestigious events.

In so many arenas, Trinity excelled – from the outstanding efforts of our rowers taking out both the Hamer and Challenge Cups, to the unbeaten Cross Country and First XVIII football teams and of course our unforgettable win at the Athletics Carnival. Then there were the exceptional performances of our music students, individuals and ensembles winning praise and accolades. The College even collected the esteemed Zenith Award for the most outstanding school at the Catholic School’s Performing Arts Festival.

But what has made all of this year’s triumphs so much more rewarding is the way that we behaved in the wake of our successes. Every Trinity student wore their emblem of victory, their ‘crowns’ with humility and temperance. However, it was not only in the high moments that I witnessed the strength of character present amongst the TC student body. Even on the occasions when we were soundly beaten, we held our heads high. We carried with us – even in defeat – an innate sense of pride in our conduct and the way we pursued our goals.

A crown is also defined as something that rewards or consummates effort. I believe that the successes we have attained this year as a school are a just reward for the years we have spent giving our all. Words cannot say how much I admire the endeavour and heart of Trinity College students.

Sometimes a crown can be a sign of struggle, and of standing up for what you believe in. Jesus was forced to wear a crown of thorns during the last hours of his life. He refused to give in; he wore his faith and his burden with amazing fortitude and courage. At Trinity, we are always taught to follow in Jesus’ footsteps, to be selfless and unafraid in the face of adversity. One man who loved God and was a true disciple of Jesus Christ was Blessed Edmund Rice. He too wore his own crown of thorns and endured his own hardships.

As young men of Trinity, the example set by Brother Rice means that we are capable of anything we set our minds to.

Speech Night

But of course we cannot do it alone. There are so many people that help us to realise our dreams. The Trinity staff have guided us through many trials and supported us in our quest to be all that we can be.

Thank you for your belief in us. I thank my family for being my rock and a constant source of inspiration; for encouraging me to work hard; for believing in my ability to achieve my dreams; for teaching me to see the value of every person and for giving me the opportunity to attend a school that has moulded me into the young man I am.

All Trinity students will always share the unbreakable bond of having attended this exceptional school. Year 12s have experienced the highs and endured the lows – together. A force to be reckoned with, we have written our page in Trinity history and I feel nothing but the utmost pride at being immortalised with a group of gentlemen as fine as you – the class of 2004.

Crowns are usually worn by kings, by those in power.

But with power comes a responsibility to think of others. The original motto of the Christian Brothers College was Viriliter Age meaning ‘strive manfully’. At Trinity we are always encouraged to follow this motto and strive to be men for others. With our education at Trinity behind us, the young men who will be graduating at the end of this year have been imbued with a power that comes from knowledge and experience.

Each of us has the opportunity to wear that unseen crown every day for the rest of our lives. To be noble defenders of the rights of all people; to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat; to be unafraid to stand up for what is good and honourable in the world.

This is what Trinity has taught me, that as young men of this college, we have been given the gift of power.

The power to step out into the world confident in our abilities to overcome any challenge, the power to recognise the beauty and value of every human being…and most importantly the power to make a difference.

David Rossbach Head Prefect

Guest Speaker Address W

e have begun a very vigorous investigation of the possibility of opening a community of Brothers and an educational project in the Philippines. It is a country of enormous needs – one example of need being that there are an estimated ten million primary children and (Br) Kevin P. Ryan many more teenagers not able to attend school. Over the next few years we would also hope to strengthen our small but significant presence in East Timor and to strengthen our work in Papua New Guinea which, despite the lack of media attention, is also in a very fragile and vulnerable state.

Independent of that, in November 2000, the four Christian Brothers Provinces of Australia, commenced working jointly to plan for the future governance and ownership of 38 Christian Brother schools in Australia.

If our planning is successful, by 2008 our Christian Brother schools, now more often called, Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice Tradition, will be governed by a new Church approved body which will have links to the Christian Brothers, but we, the Christian Brothers, will not govern the schools in the way we do now.

We are doing this for three reasons. The first reason is to protect and develop education in the Edmund Rice way at Trinity College and the other thirty-seven Colleges around Australia. You need have no fears about the future of the College. It will continue in a way that is based on the great traditions of the past while at the same time responding to the changing needs of young men in our society.

The second reason is to free the Christian Brothers individually and as an organisation to be in these Australian schools or not in them - in the light of needs here and elsewhere, and of the skills and interests of the Brothers concerned.

The third reason is that this new structure will allow the opening of new schools in the Edmund Rice tradition now and in the future. In fact there is likely to be an opening of new schools in WA and in Queensland in the next three to five years.

32

The Charter is a document which is to inspire the schools, to challenge them and is the benchmark against which they can be measured as effective Edmund Rice schools. I would like you to share a little of the energy behind the Charter. But be careful…Edmund’s story and the spirit of the Charter

may change your life! Edmund Rice, a married man and then a Christian Brother, was a follower of Jesus…. And Jesus taught us how God looks at the world; at people….he invites us to do the same, to look at the world, and at people, with the eyes of God. The Charter helps us to learn how to do that.

What sort of place could Trinity be, could Perth, WA, Australia be if we really did that, if we really looked at the world with the eyes of God – how would Australia relate to East Timor, to refugees, how would we trust and relate to each other in our families? How would we write the history of this country, what would we dream about for our future if we looked at the world the way God does? Maybe we would be less concerned about the security of this country, our own economic well being and more keen to serve each other and the world. We would make decisions as individuals and as a country that would be based on what is best for those who face the greatest difficulties in our family, our society, both here and around the world. Trinity College helps the students of this College to learn about and do something about looking at the world with God’s eyes.

Your Christian Service program helps you in smaller, then bigger ways, to learn how to DO things about these and similar matters (your hands). Your Religious Education program and your other courses help you to understand what Jesus did and said and why (the head). Your campus ministry and reflection, prayer and religious celebration times let your hearts and spirits draw life and God together (the heart). Hands, head and heart.

I have a challenge to you who are students.

I dream of Trinity College having among its ex-students not perfect people, not nice so called normal people……but creative, crazy, imaginative, risk taking Spirit filled people who will give everything for a more just, peace filled world …someone who will look at and live in the world like Jesus and Edmund did. That will demand people with well educated and formed minds, with hearts touched by the love and power of God, and people with skilful hands.

When Trinity College has produced a few more of those kinds of people I will know that I have done my job as leader of the Christian Brothers, that Trinity College is living the Edmund Rice Charter and that the College Board, Peter Bothe and all the staff are doing their job.

Head of Secondary School Administration

H

aving returned to the College after an absence of fifteen years, it didn’t take me long to recognise the rich diversity of programmes on offer to our Secondary students. Trinity boys are busy boys!

In addition to the formal academic curriculum, our students are extensively involved in the spiritual, cultural and sporting dimensions of College life.

Mr Robert Henderson Head of Secondary

Curriculum Change Trinity has been at the forefront in developing curriculum initiatives. An Outcomes Based approach encourages our teachers to use student centred and collaborative strategies to enhance student learning. It promotes the use of creative learning strategies in which teachers act as facilitators of learning.

The changes have not occurred without significant challenges for students, teachers and parents. Our current Year 8 boys are the first students who will experience a fully integrated Year 8 to 12 Outcomes Based approach. Older year levels had to grapple with new courses in Years 8 and 9 and more traditional content driven curriculum in Years 10 to 12.

The challenges have also been present for parents as they attempt to interpret new assessment and reporting structures.

Full credit must go to our dedicated and professional teaching staff as they have led the process of curriculum change. Our teachers have responded superbly and have been able to create learning environments conducive to the learning of boys.

Management Re-Structure for 2005.

The College formed a Working Group to make recommendations for an appropriate management structure to serve the College in 2005 and beyond. It felt that the College’s current management model had been outgrown due to curriculum changes and the growing need for quality pastoral care of students.

Therefore the following recommendations were made and were later endorsed by the College Executive and Board: • The appointment of a Head of Middle School and Middle School Coordinators to be given responsibility for the implementation of the Curriculum Framework in Years 8 and 9 .

• The appointment of a Head of Senior School with responsibility for Courses of Study in Years 10 to 12.

34

• The appointment of College Directors (Years 4 to

12) in the areas of Information and Communication, Technology, Music and Education Support.

These changes will result in enhanced learning opportunities and outcomes for our students.

Pastoral Care of Students All staff at Trinity play an important role in the pastoral care of students. Our Heads of Year; Mr Robert Armitage, Mr John Montagu, Mr Peter Hawke, Mr Barry McKenna and Mrs Eileen Lane are to be complimented on the outstanding care they afford to the boys.

Mr Brad Nugent (College Counsellor), Mrs Sue Prior (Education Support), Mr John Jacky (Aboriginal Liaison) and Br Rob Callen (Campus Ministry) also have undertaken significant roles as part of the College’s Pastoral Council. Special mention must also be made of Mr Gerard Theseira’s leadership of the Pastoral Council in Semester Two. Our homeroom and classroom teachers have also worked diligently to create a caring environment conducive to learning.

As part of the induction process for Year 8 students, an inaugural Quest Retreat was organised for the long weekend in March. Congratulations to Mr Ken O’Neil who coordinated the Retreat and to all the boys who participated in the programme.

Formation of Staff The dedication and commitment of the staff at Trinity College is well recognised within the College community. This year’s Strategic Planning processes have also identified the importance of ensuring that staff welfare is a priority for the College.

In 2005, the Vice Principal position will involve working with staff to create a culture of continual improvement in our learning programmes whilst ensuring that teachers are supported, encouraged and recognised for their efforts. A focus on staff welfare and formation should also directly lead to benefits for all our students.

Student Culture I often ask the boys what they think of Trinity as a school. “It’s great, Sir” is invariably the response. The goodwill of students and positive attitude towards the College is one of the outstanding characteristics of Trinity College. It doesn’t happen by accident and is a credit to the wonderful partnership between students, parents and teachers fostered over the life of the College. I congratulate the boys on their commitment to the College and look forward to working with them in future years.

Robert Henderson Head of Secondary

Year Twelve Year 12

T

he final college year, the climax of twelve years of schooling, a year filled with anticipation, hopes and trepidation, now has come to a close. On Sunday, 31st October, the Year 12 cohort, now wearing the Old Boys’ ties, was joined by their parents and staff to celebrate Mrs Eileen Lane their final Mass, as a student Head of Year 12 group, in Gibney Hall. This was followed by a Graduation Dinner at Gloucester Park where the Year 12 students demonstrated the cohesiveness and the camaraderie which had been evident all year.

As a year group, the Twelves have been exceptional as leaders of the College, proving that the Edmund Rice ethos is alive and well. Their driving force has been felt in every aspect of College life. They have led by example on the sporting field, in cultural pursuits, at social events and in the religious life of the college. In each area their enthusiasm and joie de vivre have been contagious and have enhanced the spirit that is Trinity.

Of necessity, academic excellence had to be a major focus for all students regardless of the course studied.

However, the Year 12s can take with them many other fond memories of their time at Trinity. The excitement and camaraderie was evident when Trinity won both the Head of the River and the Hamer Cup. The wins of the Cross Country, the Alcock Cup for Football and the Alcock Shield for Athletics made for an unforgettable year. Special bonds were forged on the Kairos Retreats, as Special Ministers of the Eucharist and as members of

Cadre, Amnesty International and the Eddie Rice Outreach Programme. The purity and clarity of the Chorales and the orchestral groups and the hauntingly beautiful sound of the marimba played by Joshua Webster will remain in our memories for a long time. A highlight was the Year 12 Ball and the amazing transformation of Gibney Hall into the Lost City of Atlantis was an unforgettable experience. For this, our thanks must go to the many parents led by Sharon and Mark Rossbach for creating such a spectacular and magical backdrop for the Ball.

Thanks to David Rossbach, Head Prefect, and Ronan Fahey, Deputy Head Prefect and the prefect body who have been an exceptional group to work with. Their maturity and understanding of being “men for others” was awesome.

I would also like to thank the Year 12 staff and in particular the Year 12 Homeroom teachers, Mr. Tim Blake, Mr David Adeline, Mr Richard Cackett, Mrs Pauline Bourke, Mr Geoff Jamieson, Mr Gary Malarkey, Mr Ian Hailes and Mrs Anna McCloy. Their support, dedication, enthusiasm and good humour have been invaluable in the care and education of the Year 12 students.

Graduating Class of 2004, I know that you will meet the challenges ahead with the same enthusiasm and determination that you have shown this year. Cherish the values you have learnt, your memories of Trinity and the friendships you have made. Remember that you will always have the support and friendship of the Trinity community behind you.

any of the one hundred and eighty five boys who finished Year 11 in 2004 will look back over the year and realise that they were an important part of the many successes that the college enjoyed. From Christian service to sport or music to academic endeavours, this year’s group of boys enjoyed many rewards.

was a great innovation and one that the Year 11 boys and the Year 8 students enjoyed.

The transition to Year 11 is an extremely important one.

Post-compulsory education provides many challenges as boys begin to decide on their vocation in life. Nearly one third of the students follow a non-tertiary entrance path into Year 11 with the goal of either obtaining employment or moving into TAFE courses. The largest number of students in the college’s history were off campus one day each week involved in vocational educational and training programmes. These structured workplace learning environments are growing and will continue to form an important part of future college vocational programmes.

As a follow up to the Christian Service Programme, each class was involved in the Encounters Retreat Programme.

Thanks need to go to our campus ministry team for their continued support. Their hard work ensured the success of this retreat and the Christian Service Programme.

M

Mr Barry McKenna Head of Year 11

A change in 2004 was that the Peer Support Programme extended to involve sixty Year 11 students in the new Cadre Retreat Programme. Adding the spiritual dimension to this already very successful programme

Christian service was a highlight in Term One. The response by many of the boys to this experience is inspirational. This ‘faith in action’ programme continues to be very successful and a great way of training our students to become active Christian citizens in our society. Year 11s also continued to be involved in many street appeals. Many organisations comment on the great job the students do in this area and appreciate the money raised for their particular organisations.

Many Year 11 boys did rise to the challenge of postcompulsory education and should feel proud of their achievements. To conclude, thanks to the homeroom teachers for the time and effort they have given to the pastoral care of the students. I wish all boys an enjoyable, successful and rewarding year in 2005 at Trinity.

International Space School Foundation (ISSF) 2004

n the July holiday, Joshua Bauer and I attended the International Space School Houston, Texas. This annual event is attended by thirty six students from sixteen different countries around the world. The object of the Space School is to expose students to some of the work done by NASA and to encourage interest in space science and related fields.

While in Houston, we were privileged to visit the Johnson Space Centre and the Neutral Buoyancy Lab where we watched suited astronauts perform set tasks on the life-sized, submerged space shuttle. Mission Control was also on the list; the old Mission Control Centre from where the Apollo, Gemini and Saturn missions were monitored was adorned with the patches of past missions while the new Mission Control is where they currently monitor the movement of the International Space Station. We were also privy to the VASMIR project- a test rocket engine for the proposed mission to Mars.

At Ellington Airfield, we observed and experienced the ‘Super Guppy’ (a huge transport plane), the ‘Vomit Comet’, T-38’s (supersonic Jets), and the Shuttle Training Aircraft. We also participated in a live video linkup with the South African Space School and the University of Pretoria. For a night out we visited the George Observatory where, with their 36’’ telescope, we were able to probe the depths of space.

We received some very interesting lectures on living in space, flight surgery, biomedical engineering, space physics, space law, astro-materials research and space suit engineering.

Not only was this an amazing experience from a learning point of view, it was also a chance to meet students from other countries and learn how to work together, as all future space projects will require the cooperation of many countries. Josh and I have both found that attending this School has strengthened our interests in science, and space exploration in particular.

We would like to thank Mr. Priskich, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Bothe and the Trinity College Board for making this trip possible.

Mr Peter Hawke Head of Year 10

004 has been a successful and enjoyable year for the Year 10 student community. As in previous years, the emphasis this year was on the development of our students from boys to young adults. This applied to the spiritual, academic and awareness development within our students of their roles and responsibilities in

the wider community.

‘Responsibility’ is a word that is used time and time again in Year10. One of the most important lessons a fifteen year old boy will learn is that with rights come responsibilities. The best example was the subject selection process that all Year 10 students underwent before their final entry into Year 11. From day one, the Year 10s were informed of the importance of achieving good Semester One results so that they could select the Year 11 subjects of their choice. This put a new type of pressure on to the students, but one that the students understood went hand in hand with their growth into adulthood.

To support the process of subject selection, Year 10 students were exposed to a careers education course aimed at preparing them for the workforce whenever they join it. Early in Term Two they took part in the Careers Day that outlined all of the career pathways that would lie ahead. Later that term, the students took part in the Jobseekers Workshop that was hosted by Chris Maxwell and run with the support of East Perth Rotary. During the Workshop, the boys learned many valuable lessons about searching for work, attending interviews and self-promotion. With his humorous and

56

interactive style of presentation, Chris again proved himself a popular speaker with the boys.

One of the College’s greatest challenges lies in our responsibility to help enhance the faith development of all our students. Boys love doing, and it was with this in mind that an interactive course of faith development has been created for Year 10 students. Through a mixture of retreats, guest speakers, interactive classes and class masses, the boys got an opportunity to actively participate in many aspects of their faith.

Social development is another important area that was emphasised in Year 10 in 2004. Participation in both the Trinity – Mercedes Sports Afternoon and Fancy Dress Social gave the students an opportunity to interact with girls from our sister school. As well as this, we were invited to several socials where I received glowing reports about the behaviour of the boys.

Year 10 also required a greater commitment from the students to many of the College’s extra-curricular activities. The boys adapted well to the rigours of weekend sport and in some cases, Year 10 students were given the opportunity to represent the College in senior teams. As well as this, many students were given a greater degree of responsibility in their debating, music and dance groups which in the majority of cases they readily accepted.

Finally I would like to thank my Homeroom teachers for their fantastic efforts this year. Without the assistance of Mr Michael Mueller, Mrs Lea Wilson, Mr Troy Alexander, Mr Tony Webb, Mrs Brigitte Savy-Walsh and Mr Bobby Emmanuel, I feel we would not have been able to declare 2004 such a successful year.

T

his Year 9 group of young men have completed a very full and diverse range of activities with much gusto and enthusiasm. They are a very sociable and friendly community who have related well and participated fully in all aspects of school life.

The lads have enjoyed various Socials throughout the year. There were two Socials with Mercedes and a ten week Dancing Programme with the same school.

This was followed by a well supported Santa Maria Social. Perth College and a Penrhos River Cruise followed later in the year.

Mr John Montagu Head of Year 9

All homerooms had the opportunity to participate in our Galilee Retreats in September. This involved the boys going in homeroom groups for a day long reflective session at Trigg Beach and the Surf Lifesaving Club. All groups responded well to the relaxed tone of the retreats, the ocean views and the heart-felt personal talks from the homeroom teachers and Religious Education Staff. Br Rob Callen and the Campus Ministry have developed a relevant and enjoyable Retreat Programme that the lads really appreciated.

62

The involvement in our Music Programme and Dancing instruction from Ms Bott has been well supported by our Year 9s. They are a talented group.

They have generally performed well academically and their involvement in the Sports Programme has been excellent. The Athletics success at the Inters had a lot to do with the ability of this year group.

One of the most pleasing experiences I have had with the lads has been our homework sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school that started in September.

The boys use one of our I.T. rooms to complete assignments or homework tasks from 3.05 pm to 4.30 pm. They seem to work well and stay on task with minimum input from myself. We average around twenty four students per session.

Finally, I would like to thank our Homeroom staff for their pastoral care of our Year 9s throughout the year.

Thank you also to the lads for their personable tone and their generally supportive manner. Your good heart makes for a good community. Continue to become even better “Men for Others”

S

econdary school remains a significant milestone in the life of any student. It can be a rather daunting experience to venture beyond the relative sanctuary of primary school into an environment that poses innumerable challenges in the form of rules, procedures, Mr Robert Armitage and expectations. The class Head of Year 8 of 2004 adjusted to these demands with great initiative and endeavour. The boys realised quickly that to survive and ultimately flourish, they had to take personal responsibility for their day-to-day organisation and participate enthusiastically in the academic, spiritual, sporting and cultural pursuits. In short, the more they are prepared to engage with the vast opportunities that the full life of the College provides, the more they could grow towards their potential.

Early in the first term the annual three day Orientation Camp was held at Camp Kelly, Dwellingup. The boys were involved in activities such as hiking, rafting, boat building, and learnt to cope in the great outdoors without the help of their parents. Socially, it is important that everyone develop new and existing friendships in an environment of tolerance and acceptance. Many of the mateships developed at Trinity will not only be an important source of strength at the College but will extend well into adult life.

68

Each homeroom group elected two student councillors. These councillors were good role models and performed well in providing positive leadership. I thank them and encourage them to continue to seek out leadership opportunities in the years to come.

The boys’ earnest participation in the whole school and year level masses was another admirable dimension of their spiritual growth throughout the year.

The Year 8s were also very proactive in supporting the missions and showed great commitment under very difficult weather conditions to support the Fun Run for India. Year level assemblies provided students with a forum to give feedback to their peers about their diverse activities.

The centrepiece of our social calendar was the Trinity Mercedes Quiz Night that also incorporated a dance.

I congratulate the boys on their mature and good spirited participation at this and the other socials with Iona and Santa Maria, I would like to offer my deep gratitude to the pastoral care group for 2004. Ms Neasham, Mr Shackleton, Mrs Kauhanen, Mr Slack-Smith, Mr Wilkinson, Ms Mizen, Mr Scott and later, Ms Pagoda all offered guidance and support to the students in a manner that was characterised by great generosity, compassion and commitment.

Head of Primary School Administration

T

he Primary school has enjoyed many highlights in 2004. It has been a year of both consolidation and challenge. As a school community, we have focussed on developing a culture that reflects tolerance, acceptance and treating others with respect. As a Mr Mark Hackett staff, our aim is to foster and Head of Primary School develop each individual to ensure that he can realise his full potential. In order for this to take place, our foremost objective is to provide a learning environment that is safe and friendly.

Education is constantly evolving and providing life skills has become a priority. Students are now learning how to learn with tasks that are more open-ended.

Empowering students with strategies to deal with various situations is a crucial life skill. Highlighting the benefits of assertiveness and teaching boys to express their feelings when faced with a difficult situation assists in minimising the incidence of bullying and creates a far more harmonious school environment.

Curriculum Curriculum changes are constant and the challenge that faces the modern educator is to keep abreast of new initiatives and implement those that are most relevant to the needs of the students. During this year, the staff attended a number of professional development courses to enhance their knowledge of curriculum planning and assessment. Progress maps are one of the many new initiatives that enable teachers to individualise the learning journey of their students. Assessing achievement in levels is another area in which the staff has been in-serviced. We have worked to consolidate our literacy programs that are proving to be very popular with the students. The interactive programs have, in many cases, enthused students to pursue reading as an enjoyable past-time.

This fact alone is a major achievement!

Sport and Physical Education Our physical education programme has expanded to include a weekly aquatics lesson in all year levels. The benefits of this programme are significant in that the students have an opportunity to increase their physical fitness as well as developing their swimming technique.

Our sporting teams have enjoyed a great deal of success throughout the year. We fielded strong teams in both summer and winter sports codes and our athletics team produced some outstanding results. All credit to the staff and parent coaches who willingly give their time and expertise to assist with sports teams.

Community The Trinity School Community relies on the generosity of many people to ensure programmes and various activities can take place and run efficiently. The staff and parents play a pivotal role in planning and implementing programmes including camps, sports carnivals, Sacramental liturgies, language support and many others.

Communicating to the school community through our Parent Liaison Group is a very efficient way of seeking advice and assistance to ensure we run programmes effectively. Something that is always reassuring is the overwhelming response from the community when asked to assist at a camp, carnival or Sacramental celebration.

Looking Towards 2005 In 2005, we will endeavour to strengthen our language program to include a literacy net, ensuring early intervention if a child slips behind in a specific learning area. We will re-examine our reporting, assessment and homework policies to align them with new curriculum initiatives.

Our extension courses will increase to include electronics and an advanced aquatics program. We will introduce a Christian Service component to compliment our very extensive Confirmation programme. Our main objective will remain unchanged, as we will endeavour to enhance the selfesteem of all students and make their learning experiences meaningful and enjoyable.

Teachers, Students and Parents I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the entire student cohort this year. Their contributions to all facets of school life have been outstanding. I am also very appreciative of the support the school has received from parents – it has been invaluable. Finally and most importantly, I would like to thank the staff for their dedication and wonderful contributions to the many successful programs we have undertaken in 2004.

Highlights Primary

Fathers’ Day Breakfast 2004

O

n the 3rd September, 2004, the Trinity College Primary School had a Fathers’ Day Breakfast.

Everyone liked to see the teachers cooking and serving the food. The sausages were really big and very tasty and this was followed up with trays of beautiful fresh fruit. Several boys played handball and chess with their dads, whilst other kids and their fathers

just walked around the school. Many dads won prizes of bottles of wine and chocolates. The Year 6 parents donated prizes for this raffle which raised over $400.00. The money from this raffle went to the missions. All the dads enjoyed the Fathers Day Breakfast and so did we.

Year Seven Blue Year 7

Term One

Mr Tony Maxfield Year 7 Blue

We read three novels by Deborah Ellis about the life of a young girl named Parvana who lived in war-torn Afghanistan. Parvana’s life was very different to ours.

These stories taught us that foreign aid money and food supplies are very important to many people in our world.

One of our science class projects was to construct a solar oven. It was very challenging. When all of our ovens were finished we had the first ever “7 Blue Bake–Off.” Mr Maxfield was quite amazed that we cooked; we ate and no one died of food poisoning!

Another highlight of Term One was the Mothers’ Day Mass. All the mothers, grandmothers and even some dads enjoyed this special occasion.

Term Two A life changing event for us in Term Two was receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Prior to Confirmation, we had our class retreat, at Camp Kelly, Dwellingup.

We learned much about our classmates, the Holy Spirit and ourselves. Father Michael joined us and said Mass.

This mass was simple but special because we did it. We all came back a little wiser and richer in spirit.

On a sad note, at the end of Term Two, Mr Hamer our sport teacher and friend departed Trinity College to move to Shanghai to teach.

During the July school holidays, forty-seven Year 7 boys, four staff and a group of parents went on a tour of

78

Sydney and Canberra. We saw the wonderful sights of Sydney and Canberra and had an excellent day at the Cooma snowfields. We did not want to leave the snow.

Term Three One major change in Term Three was that we had a new student teacher, Mr Sibson. He started by helping out Mr Maxfield in the room and then took over teaching us Maths, Society and Environment, Spelling and Language. Mr Sibson was a cool person; we miss his jokes, quizzes and debates.

Another great event we attended was the Winter Sport Lighting Carnival at Floreat. It was a rainy, cold day but that didn’t stop us from having a blast.

For Mr Maxfield’s science challenge, we created our own mousetrap cars, using research on the internet.

When finished, we will trial them for speed and distance.

In Science Week, we had a Science Fair Display. The “World Yo-yo Champion”, a funny person from Boston, USA, visited and taught us about the “Science of Spin” or Gyroscopic Stability.

In Language and Society and Environment, we learnt about the Olympics and Bali. Mr Sibson helped us make our own Balinese masks. We acted out a story with the masks. It was great fun.

Term Four The Science challenge for Term Four is to make a Concert Night percussion instrument for our performance. All that is left is our Farewell to the Junior School Mass.

Mr Ryan Chitty Year 7 Green

e met our new teacher Mr Chitty. The House Swimming Carnival was a great day with Chanel winning by a huge margin.

Jakeb Norman, from our class, was Champion Boy. Our Interschool Swimming Carnival was also a good day; we finished fourth out of the seven schools.

During the term we began our Peer Mentor Programme. This programme involved each of us receiving a student, from Year 4 Blue. We helped them settle into their new school. We also took part in activities such as a treasure hunt and a school tour.

Our religious highlights for the term included Ash Wednesday Mass as well as the Initiation Mass for our new principal Mr Bothe. We also took part in the Easter Paraliturgy.

First term was a great term but a very busy one.

Term Two

D

uring the second week of Term Two we had a wonderful Mass at the Cathedral. The Mass was very enjoyable and was a great way to begin the term.

As part of our Confirmation preparation we learnt about Saints and did a project on them. We also went on our Confirmation Retreat where we looked more

80

closely at the meaning of Confirmation. We travelled to the retreat at Dwellingup and we stayed there for two nights.

The special night of the Sacrament of Confirmation arrived and we asked our Sponsors to join us for the celebration.

A

t this year’s Performing Arts Festival we performed our item called the “Pirate Dance” Ms Bott prepared us very well.

We took part in the Winter Lightning Carnival which was a great day. We all performed well and gave Trinity a good name.

Our first project for the term was to design and create a Trinity class mascot. It was very fun and enjoyable.

Our next project was to build a Bali house. Mr Bell was very impressed with all of our efforts.

During Science we built water clocks, sun dials, candle clocks and sand timers. In week five we had our House Cross-Country Carnival.

We also had Book Week during the term. The theme for this year was “Doorways”. As usual Mrs Wyatt gave us a fun activity which was to make a Truck Dog or a Doorway.

The Father’s Day Breakfast was a huge success and there were lots of great prizes given away.

Term One I liked the Wednesday sport training and playing against other schools. I wrote about Paul Jennings and his fantastic books on lots of funny subjects in our exciting new Society and Environment project called ‘My Australian Identity’.

The Swimming Carnival was Mrs Janelle Kelly Year 6 Blue fantastic. It was a very nice day with everybody having fun in the sun. Thanks for everything Mrs K.!

Harrison Massey ‘My Australian Identity’ was Steve Waugh and his courageous retirement from cricket. I’ve learned that when you learn from your mistakes you improve. I chose St Benedict for my first oral presentation because he is the parton saint of engineering and that’s what I want to be when I grow up.

Julian Rodino Before the year started I thought that the teacher would be about 40 and the she’d be easygoing, that all changed the first day of school.

Luke Dannolfo On the first day of Term One was so nervous that a shiver ran down my spine.

Jarrod Smity I found out what Mrs Kelly was like. She loves fitness and exercise and she’s very strict with all class work, but she is still very nice and she is the youngest teacher I’ve ever seen.

for our assembly about smoking and the effects it has on us. My part was that of a child who didn’t smoke and tried to make smokers quit. I think it was one of the best plays I had ever been in!

Our class held a ‘farewell’ party for my best friend, Kieran, who was leaving to live in Malaysia. When the last assembly of the term was held the Golden Honour cards were given out and I got one!!

Adrian Petersen.

I fell and broke my arm. It hurt a lot. I loved riding in the ambulance but disappointed they didn’t drive fast!

William Righton During the term we found out that Mr Hamer was moving to Shanghai and that Kieran Stenson was going to Malaysia to live, so we decided to have a party!”

Damian Dinelli

Term Three Term Three was a very busy term with portfolios and cross- country. We learnt about fractions, decimals, area and perimeter of a circle using diameter and radius. I found it very interesting and helpful. We also had the performing arts festival when all the schools around Perth, come together to share their musical gifts. I did my Olympic controversy project on drug testing. I think I had the best term ever!

Alex Bray In Trinity Idol I came second and won a trophy and a box of chocolates.

Alex D’Angelo I am also excited about the athletics carnival because I might get into the B division but I am going to bring my own food and drink so I don’t have to pay.

Thank you Mrs Kelly for this great term!”

ight from the start, we could tell it was going to be a busy but fun and exciting year.

Mr Luke Godwin Year 6 Green

In Term One we had our school swimming carnival.

Chanel won, Jordan Begley was champion boy and Jesse Moutia was Runner Up Champion.

The whole class was involved in the Paraliturgy for Good Friday. Gerard Colreavy played the part of Jesus.

At the beginning of Term Two we started playing winter sport against the other schools. We also began learning Italian. We couldn’t wait for the Aquatics sessions to start. It was a real working term. We did a project on Australian Identity which focused on our way of life in Australia. This term we had two new teachers in the classroom, Mr. Chitty and Mrs. Bevan.

We trained hard for the cross-country competition and for the athletics carnival. Queens came first. Aidan Duggan was champion boy, Gerard Colreavy was runner up Champion and Jordan Carlino won the Endeavour Medal.

We worked hard on our science projects where we investigated energy and change and designed our own board games that involved kinetic and potential energy. We displayed them at the science fair in week nine. Aidan Duggan, Oliver Mouchemore and Ethan Hampton won first prize for their ‘Mini Putt Putt’.

‘Hooch’, a Yo-Yo professional, visited us. He showed us the many different tricks he could do with a Yo-Yo. He also taught us about ‘Gyroscopic Stability’, which means spinning balance; he was ‘fully crook’.

On the last day of the term the entire junior school walked over to Burswood Park for a picnic lunch. We spent hours having a great time playing footy and cricket. It was an enjoyable way to finish the term. In Term Four we visited a local recycling plant where we could see what happens to all the things we put into a recycle bin, and learned more about the importance of recycling. We also visited the Electoral Education Centre, prior to having prefect elections and to Parliament House to find out more about State Parliament. All excursions were interesting.

Looking back, the year was interesting and exciting.

We worked hard and had some fun in class.

004 in 5 Blue has been an exciting and fun filled adventure. We have had many excursions and lots of fun science experiments.

In Term One we had a wonderful camp at Waroona where we participated in activities like: abseiling, flying Ms Lissa Coleman Fox, the climbing wall, Year 5 Blue canoeing, screen printing and the Incentive Course. The camp was a great opportunity to make new friends and try new things. The best part was having our dads come and try all the new things with us. Ms Marwick, Ms Coleman and Mr Hamer worked hard to give us the best camp ever. I am sure we will remember it as one of the best we ever went on.

In Term Two we had a visiting teacher, Ms Herbert, and she was really nice. This term we also began our winter sports fixtures and that was really different from Year 4.

We competed against all the other boys’ schools and we won many of our matches.

In Term Three lots of boys participated in the performing arts festival with dance, choral and musical instruments.

We visited the JSSHA art exhibition at the Art Gallery to take part in a “theatre sports” workshop. It was loads of

86

fun. We studied Electricity in science and made circuits.

We also finished off the winter sports fixtures and competed in the winter lightning carnival. After that we started athletics. The inter house sports carnival was really exciting. Many people were selected to represent the school at the inter school carnival.

We had our class mass, based upon the theme of the Universe story and it was beautiful.

In Term Four, we are organising something really special for Speech night. It will be our best ever.

Participating in sports options every week has been really enjoyable too.

It sure has been lots of fun with Ms Coleman. And boy, did we read lots of books!!!!!!

Here is a poem by Brian Cheung!

n Term One we had lots of fun though we worked hard.

Ms Marwick did many exciting things with us, as we learnt all about Australia. We did a project on Australia’s flora and fauna and studied the states and their capitals.

During first term, we went on camp to Dwellingup. On the bus ride down to the Forest Edge Campsite, everyone was so excited the bus was full of laughter and chatter. We arrived to find a large shed was to be our home for the next few days. The groups were assigned different activities for the next three days, such as abseiling, canoeing, raft building, wall climbing, the Flying Fox and screen printing our team’s T-shirt. Each activity was lots of fun but nothing was to compare to the Red Faces Talent competition and the Quiz night. My team, the Blue team, won the quiz and Mikey Quinlan and myself came second with our ‘Comedy Cooking’ to James Pennefather and Louis Iustini’s ‘Monty Python’.

Samuel Cox Ms Rosanne Marwick Year 5 Green

In Term Two we studied “Sport, Leisure and the Human Body”. We had a practice teacher called Miss Phuong Nguyen. One day, Miss Nguyen brought in her brother who was a Sports Scientist. He talked to us about the muscles and the bones. Miss Nguyen also took us on an

excursion to Scitech. As part of our theme, we did a Player Profile on an Aboriginal Sportsperson during NAIDOC week. Mr John Jacky, an Aboriginal liaison officer at Trinity, came to talk to us about his early life.

During Term Two we began our winter sports season and Mrs Debra Laird took us for Drama and Theatre Sports.

We also began to learn to knit and crochet. We knitted blankets with the help of Mrs Ding, Mrs Royer, Mrs Hopkins and many grandmas and friends who donated ‘squares’ and wool. We attended the ‘Knit-in’ at the ABC studios and we were on the radio and the T.V news.

n Term Three we studied the Olympics. During the term we did three projects which included studying Greece, an Olympic athlete, Our Australian Olympic Hall of Fame and the Olympics and the Environment. Ms Marwick ran a Mini-Olympics competition in the classroom and each team or country could win medals.

At the end of the term, Japan won Gold, Macedonia won Silver and the Czech Republic won Bronze. We performed our assembly item about the Olympics. It was very funny with Greek dancing, which my mum taught us to do and impersonations of Roy and H.G from the ‘Dream’. We handed out Greek biscuits, which we had made, to the teachers and parents.

Also during this term, we visited the Art Gallery and performed Theatre Sports in front of the paintings.

Mr Gordon Dean Year 4 Blue

The year can best be summed up by a few responses from the boys.

played rugby against Aquinas, Christchurch and Hale. It was a wet and muddy day, but we still had heaps of fun.

One of the last events of Term Two was the Year 4 visit to the Shoenstatt Shrine in Armadale. We made our Holy Communion candles with Sister Lisette. We made pictures of wheat, water, a cross and grapes and stuck these to our candles. The final event was the sad departure of Ms Boe who was leaving us for Long Service Leave. We had another wonderful term.

was a nervous going to school on my first day, but I was also excited, because I had been looking forward to coming here for four years. Ms T and Ms Boe were both so nice to us and that made me feel good inside.

We did swimming trials at Somerset Pool to prepare for our carnival at Beatty Park. My friend, Jayden, was the best swimmer of all Year 4s and 5s. I had a lot of fun on that day and did a pretty good job in my races.

Our first excursion was to the Perth Zoo with both Year 4 classes. Our class performed a play of ‘The Last Supper’ at the Holy Week assembly. I did the welcome and then Oskar narrated the rest of the class item. I thought our class effort was the best.

Term Three by Jeremy Ryan

T

he term started with a new teacher, Mrs Savory, because Ms Boe was on Long Service Leave. We won the fun Soccer carnival against Aquinas. My Mum and Dad came to watch which made the day even more special.

We made our First Holy Communion on the 20th September. We carried the candles in the Procession made at the shrine. It was fantastic!

In Term Three, I participated in B.I.G, Boys in Groove, a dance group with boys from Year 4 to 7. We performed at the Burswood Theatre and we were amazing! Ms T said that she was so impressed and Ms Bott was so thrilled with our performance that she could not stop smiling.

I love being at Trinity.

The athletics programme began with a very exhausting cross country. The Year 4s ran two kilometres to East Perth. Congratulations to Adam Norman who came first.

Primary Faith Education Faith Education

W

e commenced the school year with a Mass prepared by the teachers, setting a wonderful example of what was to follow with Year level Masses.

At this Mass we had the blessing and presentation of the Prefects’ and House Captains’ Badges.

The Year level Masses are a central part of our Faith Development Programme. It has now become a tradition that the parents who attend Mass bring a plate and have morning tea in the Boardroom after Mass. It provides an opportunity for them to build on our community spirit.

We did not have our regular chaplain Fr. John McGannon this year due to illness.

Fortunately, Fr Michael McMahon generously came to our rescue. We thank him for all the time and effort he has put into our Faith Education Programme.

One of the special occasions in first term was the Holy Week Paraliturgies. Once again staff and students did a superb job, making the whole experience very meaningful for everyone.

The Confirmation Programme got off to an early start this year and we are very appreciative of the parents who hosted the Home Programme. This year Fr. Greg Carroll was our main celebrant, ably assisted by Fr. McMahon.

Many thanks to all the parent helpers who contributed time and expertise in decorating the Chapel that created the ideal atmosphere for the celebration.

First Holy Communion

O

n Friday 20th August, 2004, the Year Four boys at Trinity College made their First Holy Communion.

This special Sacrament took place in the Chapel and Father John McGannon was the priest.

We walked into the chapel with the candles that we made at Shoenstatt Shrine.

After the Eucharistic Prayers, we received our First Holy Communion. This was a very special time for us, because we were receiving Jesus’ body. We had waited a long time and now Jesus was with us to help to make us stronger and more like him.

It was one of my favourite days in my whole life. I just liked it.

Primary Faith Education Confirmation Retreat

Faith Education

The Year Seven Confirmation Retreat at Camp Kelly was a wonderful experience not only for the Year Seven boys but also for us parents lucky enough to share and be part of this faith practice.

We arrived at Camp Kelly in the evening of the first day to a feeling of fun, excitement and anticipation to what the night would hold. Boys were playing football on the oval in the misty light of dusk before rushing off to have showers or to help prepare the dining area for mass or perhaps the most favourite activity of the whole night building the camp fire.

Before dinner we celebrated Mass with Father Michael McMahon who drove down to Camp Kelly to share in this preparation for Confirmation and enjoy the evening with us. The whole atmosphere was one of caring companionship and having a good time with friends. The boys busily did whatever they could to help, with some already dressed in their pyjamas and ready for a fun night. The highlight of the evening for us parents was watching as our boys shared their positive thoughts and feelings about their peers by way of special notes and then watching the wonderful reactions to the letters of affirmation from their parents.

The second day was greeted with great anticipation as the boys prepared for the river rafting adventure.

We parents had almost as good a time as the boys, as we laughingly watched from the safety of the riverbank. The best part for us was that we stayed dry.

We packed up our cold and wet boys, took them back to the camp for very welcome hot showers, more food and listened to their never ending chatter about who did the best.

It was then a time of relaxing over coffee for us as the boys joined together, quietly and meaningfully to share and reflect on their spiritual beliefs and recognise and affirm the special qualities of everyone there. This sharing gave the boys a greater understanding and appreciation of their peers and was a very special time together. Our own spirituality was enhanced from the experience of joining with our sons as they prepared for their Confirmation.

All too soon it was time to pack up, clean up, take the last group photo and get all the boys onto the bus for the trip back to the college. We had a great time together and came away with many happy memories.

The Confirmation Retreat was a very special and positive experience for us parents. The caring guidance and commitment shown by the teaching staff was apparent to us all with the boys treated as special individuals with their positive attributes valued and highlighted. Thank you for letting us be part of this wonderful experience.

BIG (Boys In Groove) B

oys In Groove had a great year learning many new and interesting forms of dance.

We started each session following Ms Bott’s choreography, dancing to a variety of music. We would then go into our own groups and put sequences of movements together based on different dance elements. In the second term we began doing special lifts that looked really cool. Later we had a woman from Circus Bizircus come to teach us new forms of acro-balancing. We then began choreographing our dance for the Catholic Performing Arts Festival and included some of this acro-balancing.

We called our dance High Rise. It featured B.I.G. as civilians rebuilding their city. It was a story of hope and involved a large scaffold constructed on stage by the Year Sevens. This was risky!

Sixteen members of B.I.G. participated in the Christian Dance section of the festival. We were all very happy to receive an Honourable Mention for our dance, Men of the Gospel.

100

Our performance at Burswood finally arrived on the 19th August. We were all very nervous to perform in front of so many people. Ms Bott said we danced brilliantly, and the boys constructing the scaffold did so with expertise and in record time. Our dance was spectacular, heightened by the lighting and smoke effects. We were very happy with our efforts.

We received an Honourable Mention and the Presentation Sister’s Award for most outstanding creative dance (primary). For the third year in a row, B.I.G. received the shield! We were all extremely happy that we had won, but most of all we had a lot of fun.

Now in Term Four we are in groups, choreographing our own dances to our own selection of music. We will be performing our dances to our parents and friends at the B.I.G. Choreographic Afternoon this term. Boys In Groove has had heaps of fun this year and huge thanks must go to Ms Bott.

Primary Sport Cricket T

he first game for the A cricket team was against Aquinas. We lost early wickets but then made 70 runs. Aquinas had a few small partnerships but they kept losing wickets at crucial times. We won the match by two runs.

The second game was a bit one-sided. We put the pressure on the other team early and kept them to 36 runs. Our opening pair got our innings off to a good start and we won the game comfortably.

Scotch batted first at their home ground and finished with an innings of 100 runs. It was going to be a hard total to chase. We didn’t start well but began to hit a few fours to improve our run-rate. It was a tough slog but we won by 10 runs.

After five overs our match against Guildford seemed to be wrapped up due to some early wickets. But they fought on and made 37. When we came into bat we

Primary Sport

shared the strike and many players played well. We finished on top.

We went into the match against Hale with confidence as we had not lost a game. We batted first and made a modest total with Aden Fawcett hitting a few nicely placed shots. But we were loose with our bowling and a few Hale batsmen took advantage.

That game brought us back down to earth.

The Lightning Carnival was exciting. We played Indoor Cricket enabling each team to play one another. We adapted to the different format quickly and ended up winning five out of the six games played. All in all we had a terrific season, everyone had fun and improved their skills. Look out Mr Tobin!

Hockey T

his year Trinity primary school fielded three hockey teams. The A team was made up of mainly Year 7s and some Year 6s; they were coached by Mrs Main.

The B team was made up of a combination of Year 7s and 6s; they were coached by Mr Maxfield. The C team was made up of Year 5s and were coached by Mrs Kelly.

In the A team some of the most satisfying games played we actually lost to the other teams, but we knew that we had played to our best and that everyone on the field gave one hundred percent.

We Year 7s will continue our hockey in Year 8 next year and each of the younger players will step up to take our places.

The best part of the season was playing against the other PSA schools such as Aquinas, Scotch College, Christchurch, Wesley and Guildford Grammar.

All three teams enjoyed many wins, some losses and even a couple of drawn games.

n the 23rd September 2004 the House Athletics Carnival took place at Trinity. All the teams were pumped for a big day. Campion started off in the lead from points accumulated in the athletic trials on Thursday afternoons closely followed by Queens, Chanel and then Xavier.

First up we had the tabloid events which included shot put, high, long and triple jump. We (Queens) scored very well in the tabloid events due to great team work.

Our house also got off to a great start in the running

events with the Year 4s (Marc Mather and Mathew Davies) getting our first win and second for the day.

Queens did well in the team events which gave us a good chance at the cup. By lunch time we thought Queens had a good chance of winning. In the rest of the events we did extremely well resulting in an 87 point win over Campion, closely followed by Chanel and Xavier.

Congratulations to Queens the winning house and Mr Chitty who organised a fantastic carnival.

Primary Basketball T

his year the basketball teams from the Primary School had mixed results. We won some games, lost some games and even drew some, but throughout the whole season we never gave up and always had fun.

The ‘A’ Team’s first game was against Aquinas and they got off to a very good start. By half time they had earned a very handy lead. With courage and determination they fought back in the second half and only lost by a couple of points. Most of their games were very tough and only a few points separated the teams at the end of each match.

Basketball is a game that requires a lot of skills, which is why it was fantastic to see each division play the best they could each week. The boys supported and encouraged each other with every game and did not let the size of their opponents inhibit their play on the court! In addition the boys displayed great sportsmanship and respect for each of the schools they played against.

Special thanks to all the parents who helped coach and support the teams during the season.

At the end of the term, the ‘A’ Team competed in a lightning carnival. They played six games of basketball that day. It was long and tiring, but all had a great time.

Primary Rugby T

his season we had a very talented and committed group of boys playing in the firsts. We started the season with a resounding win over Guildford 60 to 0 and thought the season was in the bag. We came down to earth in the next game against Hale where we went down 5 to 15. The game was well contested and hard fought. We played three games against Aquinas at their home ground and these were great games between two teams of equal ability. These were games that were enjoyable to watch and provided us with many learning opportunities.

The end of season lightning carnival was a wonderful day where we defeated Hale and Wesley and went down to Guilford and Aquinas. Guildford had worked hard all season and proved to be the best team on the day.

I would like to thank the boys for their courage, skill and commitment throughout the season. We have some excellent players in this team who continually give their all for the Trinity team. This I feel was the greatest achievement the boys had this season, to play like a team and trust and rely on each other. They certainly have a lot of talent and I look forward to seeing their progress in the senior years. Thank you to Mr Barr and Mr Taggart for their skill, generosity and time in helping to coach the team this season. The boys really appreciated their help and became better players under their care and guidance.

he Primary School’s tennis season was highlighted by some great efforts in all divisions. Adrian Petersen and Jacob Moffitt were a formidable duo in many games and their close contests indicated the high standards of the competition.

Many boys constantly challenged for the higher divisions throughout the term, James Rees, Tom Prior, Nathan Scott and Declan Harwood were amongst these competitors.

Apart from impressive individual successes, doubles partners James Prindiville and Sam Shaw always provided good competition, whilst Connor Brown always delivered a solid effort.

The Lightning Carnival provided our team with many challenges and a very high standard was set from the first round. The team of Adrian Petersen, Jacob Moffitt, Laughlan McVeigh, James Rees, and Leo Titley performed admirably and their efforts were further enhanced by excellent levels of sportsmanship.

T

Br Robert Callen Director of Campus Ministry

hroughout 2004 Campus Ministry at Trinity continued to flourish. Our primary aim has been to create a faith community within the college.

To do this we have continued to provide a wide variety of opportunities and programs through which students can come to better know, love and serve God.

Worship: Worship is one of the key areas of Campus Ministry. We have encouraged personal prayer, and we have provided students with many resources, not least of which is the special section in each boy’s diary. As well we have tried to get all of our students in Years 8 & 9 to learn “The Treasury of Catholic Prayers” by heart.

Teachers have been encouraged to begin every lesson with a prayer, and they have been provided with prayer resources as well.

Our more formal prayer settings have included School Assemblies, and especially our Liturgies and paraliturgies. For the first time this year we commenced the academic year with a whole of school Mass of the Holy Spirit on Centenary Park. Within this Mass we included the Commissioning of our new Principal, Mr Bothe.

Earlier we had a Mass of Commissioning for our Special Ministers of the Eucharist celebrated by Bishop Sproxton.

To all of the Year 12 students he also distributed a book of special messages to young people from Pope John

Campus Ministry

Perhaps one of our most beautiful and moving liturgies is our whole of school Mass in honour of our Founder, Blessed Edmund Rice, held at the Cathedral. As we are a city school, the Cathedral is our Parish Church, and for that reason we like to have the whole school present there at least once a year. Many of our Seniors play a significant role in this Mass in May, from Serving, Commentating, Prayers of the Faithful, Cantors, Choir, and Special Ministers of the Eucharist. Daniel Mullaney (Year 8) sang the beautiful soprano solo for “Pity Then The Child” from Liam Lawton’s “Sacred Story”.

Each term every Year Level held their own Mass in the Chapel and both Mr Theseira and I taught new hymns each term. Our Chaplain, Father Michael was our celebrant. And the year finished with two impressive and meaningful Eucharistic liturgies: the Graduation Mass for the Class of 2004 in Gibney Hall, and the Farewell Mass of Commissioning for the boys leaving for India in December.

Deepening Our Faith: Campus Ministry provided a comprehensive Retreat program throughout the senior school. (More of which will be explained on the following pages.) But hand in hand with prayer and worship, the boys at Trinity were offered Retreat experiences so that they could take a little bit of time off the mad hurdy-gurdy of life to ponder those things that are truly important in their lives and to discover that God was truly close to their hearts.

Campus Ministry continues to provide many boys with opportunities for Christian leadership, whether it be in Music Ministry, Altar Serving, Lectors (Readers), Commentators, Retreat Leaders, Cadre, Peer Ministry, Sacristans, Roadies etc. There is a place for everyone.

Year 12 Kairos Campus Ministry

Some Reflections The Best Thing

W

hat can I say? Kairos is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Before I went on Kairos I wasn’t the happiest of people. I didn’t like a lot of people because we didn’t see eye to eye.

“Never judge a man, until you have walked a mile in his moccasins.” Even if you aren’t grounded in faith, believe me it is true. This is what I learnt on Kairos, everybody has a sacred story and it makes you feel so much better when you can open up to people and settle old differences. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you believe in, once you experience Kairos, I guarantee you will be feeling the same way as I do.

Simon Titley ‘04 Kairos #8

Making the Most of Opportunities

I

or me, Kairos was like a power-up for my spiritual battery. It equipped me with a new mind-frame – one which I am very thankful for. Furthermore, I've been blessed with a greater inner strength.

can safely say that Kairos #8 has been one of the best times of my life. It gave me the opportunity to not only express my own feelings in life but listen and take in the feelings and emotions of others. The biggest thing that I probably learnt was how much I actually value not only life itself but family and friends. I can safely say that your faith and relationship with God will be strengthened to levels you would not have reached. The key to Kairos being a success is to put yourself out there and don’t hold back. What you put into Kairos you will definitely get in return.

Since when is a school retreat a life-changing experience? Then, when the guys from Kairos #7

returned to school, I even heard, “It’s probably the best thing I've ever done. The experience which I had of the Lord's time, opened my mind and my heart, and showed me that all the brothers and sisters in our lives whom we call our friends and family, are truly happy to open their hearts back to us, and one another. I felt love and loved all around, something which we have too little of in the “real” world.”

Year 12 Kairos Kairos Is So Powerful Kairos was a huge wake-up call on how I live my life and how others see me as a human being, another living creature with beauties and talents. Experiencing Kairos has awaken my being and made me aware of myself and my actions.

It has brought God closer to me and has made God become a massive part of my life (more so than before).

My values on God before Kairos had mainly been out of influence rather than my own experience and conviction, but now, my experience will be with me forever; overcoming the barriers and being at peace.. as one.

The whole Kairos experience has had a positive effect in my life. At school we segregate ourselves in groups and shut ourselves away from our peers. But Kairos has brought us together… as one.

It was a privilege for everybody to express themselves verbally and in writing. I believe that freedom of speech and being able to express yourself and your own views is really a powerful privilege that people living in this materialistic country (society) do not capitalise on.

My final word to those who have not yet experienced Kairos: don't pass up on this opportunity. So to you the Year 11's… experience it for yourselves.

James Cicanese ‘04 Kairos #8

A Much Needed Retreat

B

efore I left for KAIROS, I guess you could say I had my doubts about lots of things, about KAIROS, about my faith, myself and about my friends. I had seen the change that overcame my fellow students upon their return from KAIROS. Naturally I was curious as to what could possibly make these people that I thought I knew so well act so differently. The entire experience was fulfilling, being a great opportunity to get to know myself and my friends better.

In terms of my faith, KAIROS has had a big influence, as although my doubts haven’t exactly vanished, I do have some of the clarification on certain aspects of my life that I was looking for. While I frequently reflected on things before I went on KAIROS, my reflection now is more intense and in depth, as I view many things in a different light.

Campus Ministry

Personally, I would recommend KAIROS to almost anyone, as I fail to see how an event of this spiritual significance could fail to touch someone in a similar way to which it touched me. During such a taxing period of my schooling life, KAIROS was a much needed and appreciated retreat, and can be enjoyed by anyone who approaches it with an open mind.

Michael Moroz ‘04 Kairos #8

Let it happen . . .

Going on Kairos I was very hesitant as I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know if I would enjoy it or if I would just go through the motions and not really take full advantage of the opportunity. However I am extremely glad that I went and put my effort into the retreat because it really helped me as a person.

One of the best experiences of Kairos is that it is with people that you don’t usually hang around with, but by the end of it you realize that they have become friends with whom you will have a certain bond; a bond which will never break.

Kairos also helped me with my faith, not to change it, but allowed me to really evaluate how I see my faith and how I can strengthen it.

The Kairos experience can’t really be put into words. In saying that, I would encourage all the students interested, and even those not, to go on Kairos and…let it happen…

Year Twelve Tabgha Retreat Campus Ministry

T

abgha is the place of seven springs right next to Lake Galilee. It marks the spot where Christians believe that Jesus performed the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. And we believe that this miracle was all about transformation, not only the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, but the transformation of people. The disciples who wanted to get rid of the crowd and the people who witnessed Jesus’ miracle were transformed by the experience. Their hearts were changed and they followed Jesus.

Our Year 12 Tabgha Retreats were held at St. Joseph’s, South Perth and Pt. Walter. These Retreats provided our Year 12s with a bit of time out from their hectic lives to spend some time in quiet reflection.

They were also offered the opportunity to think about the place of Jesus in their lives. As they come to the end of their years of formal education, they are gently challenged to ask themselves the question that Jesus put to Peter: “Who do you say I am?” In other words, “What are you going to do with your life now, as far as your friendship with Jesus is concerned?”

Year Eleven Encounter Retreat

I

n the Finale of the musical “Les Miserables” Jean Valjean sings: “To love another person is to see the face of God.” This is really the key to Mother Teresa’s challenging example: “When I hold that dying man in my arms, I am holding Christ, in his distressing disguise.” And that is what Jesus meant when he told us: “What you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto Me.”

118

The Year 11 Encounter Retreat is an opportunity for the Year 11 boys to take some extra time to think about, discuss and share their experiences from the Christian Service program. This program “Sharing Gifts” encourages each boy to spend four or five days out in the community with people with special needs. Some boys went to nursing homes and others to schools which had children with all sorts of disabilities.

During the Encounter Retreat the boys were able to talk freely about their experiences, some good and some not so good. But some boys were able share some very moving and beautiful encounters, and they were able to say how their experiences changed them.

Some of the boys’ reflections were indeed quite profound. And for many, the truth expressed by Saint John in his gospel that “God is love, and he who abides in love, abides in God” was the real lesson learned. For many of the Adult Leaders on the Retreats, it was a unique privilege to hear the boys’ reflections.

Year Ten Emmaus Retreat Campus Ministry

S

ome guys think that a Retreat is just a good break from the routine of school life! In fact, that’s not too far off the mark.

I’m sure everyone approaches a retreat with a whole lot of mixed expectations. From the old Westerns on T.V. when the cavalry sounded the retreat we saw them pull back from the action and re-group so that they could better face the challenge ahead. Well, that’s a pretty good image of the Year 10 Emmaus Retreat. They provide an opportunity for the boys to hop off the mad hurdy-gurdy of their daily routine, - to take some time-out! - and to think about the important issues in their lives.

We took some time to look back over our lives and to recognise the good times, the tough times, the special people and the many memories. And like those disciples who journeyed to Emmaus and had that surprise encounter with the Risen Christ, we recognised that Jesus has been with us all along the

way. Our discovery on the Emmaus Retreat was that we don’t have to go looking for extraordinary spiritual experiences to find God, but in fact, just as Saint John tells us, God is Love, and whenever and wherever we experienced love in our lives, then God was very truly there.

The Emmaus Retreat was a great opportunity to get to know others in our class much better. It was a time to realise that you don’t have to be especially ‘religious’ to be close to God. He is present in our families; He is present in our friends; and He is present in the lonely, the weak and the poor. It’s just that we need to spend some more time with Him and to remind ourselves of His deep and unconditional love for each of us. Some boys decided that they would set aside a little bit of time each day at home to remember that God was always very close.

Year Nine Galilee Retreat Campus Ministry

O

n the first day of spring, we commenced the Year 9 Galilee Retreats. The sun was bright and the temperature was a beautiful 23ºC. These one-day Retreats were held at Trigg Beach on the glistening white sand facing the crystal clear water of the Indian Ocean.

But this was no beach picnic! We were there to journey with Jesus along the shores of Lake Galilee and to travel from the Galilean towns of Capernaum to Bethsaida to Tiberius to Gennesaret. We would be present when Jesus called his first Disciples to come and follow; and we were there on the lake when the storm arrived. And we felt the embarrassment as our lord and master, Jesus, washed the dust from our feet.

The Year 9 boys entered into the spirit of this meditation and they reflected openly and honestly

120

about their own lives. They reflected on what it meant to be a disciple today and they shared deeply about storms that have troubled their own lives. And they eagerly shared ideas on how it might be possible to be “men for others” in their everyday lives.

To add to the authenticity of the day, each boy brought with him only food that would have been available in Jesus’ time: fruit, nuts, unleavened bread and water.

We all returned to school secure in the knowledge that no matter what lies ahead of us, Jesus has called us to journey with Him, and that he will always accompany us on that journey, yes, even till the end of time!

The next stage of the Quest experience takes the boys (one Year 11 and three Year 8 little brothers) out into the community where, under the supervision of parents, they head to the suburbs to collect canned food for the needy.

“We pre-warned the residents with a notice drop that covered some six thousand homes and, in so doing, enjoyed a response well beyond our expectations,” Rob explained.

“Building on the theme of Trinity students being ‘men for others’ the experience was a real eye opener for the boys and a good life lesson that highlighted the generosity of different people.”

With the food collected, two groups of boys (i.e. eight students) returned to the home of one of the Year 11 students where they participated in some recreational/physical activity before coming together to discuss the sometimes awkward subject of how to treat girls. Helping with this part of the program were the sixty Mercedes students who happily answered the questions put to them.

Reinforcing the spirit of inclusion, the ten students then joined their parents for a community meal before embarking on the next group session that focussed on the topics of prayer, their family’s hopes and dreams for their time at Trinity and any issues of concern that they may have had.

It was then back to school where the gym had been transformed into a sacred space and where some of the Year 11s shared ‘witness talks’ outlining the presence of God in their lives.

Year 8 boys openly shared stories about where God is in their lives. There is a realisation that the ‘whole religion thing’ may actually be OK and that it’s alright to share one’s faith experiences.

122

Marking the end of day one, the boys headed home again before returning in the morning to create a page for their ‘sacred book’ – a collection of reflections, hopes and dreams that will become a feature at all major gatherings over the next five years, including their Year 12 graduation ceremony. They were presented with a lanyard and special prayer card.

Later the boys all came together to celebrate a community Mass in the College Chapel. The younger boys discovered that the senior boys are enthusiastic about leading in various ministries: Altar servers, Special Ministers of the Eucharist, Lectors & Music Ministry.

The Quest experience concluded with a Closing rally in the gym. This included the Quest prayer, blessing, the special thankyous, singing of the college hymn and the farewell guard of honour.

Having received very positive feedback from both the students and their parents, Rob said the introduction of the Quest Retreat was contributing to a culture shift that was becoming very evident at the College.

Religion and faith are starting to play a more prominent role in the boy’s lives. Boys are very open to the retreat experience and want to be a part of it.

The volunteer requirement for Quest was easily filled.

The active involvement of parents, combined with the youth working with youth approach, contributed to the success and put a positive focus on the older boys as role models to the young.

Christian Service Christian Service

tatements from the journals of Year 11 students participating in the ‘Sharing Gifts’ programme, sum up very well the spirit of Christian Service.

Our students are discovering how their faith in God can be lived out in service of others through interaction with people in need in the community.

years old but when you sit with an elderly person you realise that these people were 15 years old not that long ago, looking forward to the same things in life that I am at the moment.”

Caz Matarazzo

“Through Christian Service, relationships develop between yourself and people who you never thought you would relate with. You know that you are a gift to them and that they are a gift to you. Then you know that God has touched your heart and helped you to love. You know that you are on the way to becoming a man for others.”

Gerald Lillywhite

“I realised that there was a world beyond the big houses and leafy streets of my home: a world of cold nights and harsh environments. I began to see the plight and pain of less fortunate members of our society. These people now had faces and names that I knew, stories that I had heard and fears that I had tried to comfort.”

Dominic Rose

“I see God in the joy of people removed from the world’s eye. God cares when no one else sees the pain. I was in some small way acting for God.” Matthew Bouwman

“This wasn’t a challenge of the mind or body. It was a challenge of the heart” Long Pham

Mrs Marya Stewart Director of Christian Service

“I learnt that people coming to the end of their life still have something to share. When I was talking to one elderly man, he told me about the greatest day of his life. I didn’t understand him clearly, but I felt that it was a special moment and it was quite significant that he would share it with me.”

Tom Gee “The life cycle seems very long when you are 15

124

“I learnt that all people react the same way when cared for, that people begin to feel valued and develop a sense of belonging. These feelings are important to all people and this is all people need, to be cared for. “ Ben Wisby

The reflections on their experience of Christian Service reveal that at Trinity College we have many young men who are capable of great sensitivity and compassion. Given the opportunity to serve others they discover strengths within and come to understand that people who seem to be less capable and less valued by our society have a lot to offer.

Amnesty International T

here are people all around the world who suffer imprisonment or torture for their political, religious beliefs or because of their racial origin. Others face the death penalty. These people feel abandoned, alone and forgotten. A group of Trinity students from Year 8 through to Year 12 have been coming every week to express their support for others in such difficult circumstances by sending a message of encouragement and challenging authorities in other countries to fulfil their commitment to human rights.

These students have grown in their understanding of

the difficult political and social situation in other places and deepened their appreciation of living in a country where they are secure.

In Term One at Trinity we organised a very successful encounter with students from other secondary schools where students had an opportunity to share their experience of Amnesty International. This inspired other students to organise groups in their schools.

Art Art

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Picasso

P Ms Rita Basilio Senior Art Department

icasso recognised that participation in art activities helps people to understand themselves and others. It allows individuals to explore new ideas, new worlds and to view life from another perspective.

This year we implemented a range of art projects to cater for individual student interests and to reflect their personal life experiences. The art students analysed themselves in relation to a range of topics.

Art deals with subject matter as broad as life itself. This dichotomy of life and art has resulted in the production of art work of a very high standard in 2004, the talents of which were once again showcased during the Speech Night Art Exhibition at the Perth Concert Hall. The Year 12 Art students in particular, proudly displayed their achievements. The Signum Fidei Art Award was once again sponsored by Trinity Old Boy Patrick Coward. The award has successfully promoted excellence in the art work of Trinity art students since 2000, with some students choosing to further their art education. This year our guest judges were Ms Helen Carroll-Fairhall, Curator of the Westfarmers Art Collection, and Mrs Carmen Stewart, temporary Trinity Art Teacher. The 2004 winner of the Signum Fidei Art Award was Liam Kennedy for his painting A Sad Scene. Thomas Wright won the Year 12 Highly Commended Art Award for his painting. Matthew McVeigh won the Year 11 Highly Commended Prize for his sculpture. The People’s Choice Award has proven to be successful in the past involving families, staff and community members in our Art Exhibition and in promoting the Visual Arts. Congratulations to Thomas Wright for winning the 2004 People’s Choice Award for his artwork which was voted as the most favourite art work exhibited during the Speech Night Exhibition. Congratulations to all our prize winners and thank you for all your hard work during the year.

A number of Trinity students also had their work selected for entry in the Silk Cut Award for Linocut Prints, an extremely prestigious printmaking competition which is run nationally. Year 12 TEE Art student, James Gevaux was chosen as the winner of this competition. James’s print, 1.15 to Perth departs Meltham, was selected from hundreds of entries nationwide. Congratulations to James on this grand achievement!

126

Trinity College talent was also reflected in the Angelico Art Exhibition for Catholic School Students.

This exhibition displays some of the best art works from Catholic schools state-wide. Students with work in this

exhibition included Liam Kennedy, Tim Mather, Matthew Mc Veigh and Thomas Cox. During the year the Year 10 Art students completed an introductory drawing project. Their drawings were submitted for judging for the annual Adelphe King Prize for Drawing. This award is sponsored by Adelphe King, a previous art teacher at the College, and aims to assist students in developing their drawing skills and encourages them to further their art education. Year 10 student, James Embley, was the winner of this year’s Adelphe King Prize for his still life drawing.

This year Trinity Art students took part in a collaborative Art project which will culminate in the production of a mural to be displayed within the school grounds. The Year 12 Art and Design students led the way with ideas generation and research into the theme – ‘Trinity Culture’. After much discussion and debate, the students decided to focus on five important aspects/dimensions of Trinity Culture: education, religion, music, sport and history. The students produced relevant drawings on this theme and then worked collaboratively with local artist Clare Perkins, and their art teacher, to refine ideas and designs for the mural project. The mural is an ongoing project which will require the involvement of many more Trinity Art students before its completion. I admire the Year 12 Art and Design students for their hard work and persistence during the year on this project.

If not for their initial ground work, a project of this magnitude would not have been possible. Thanks also to Clare Perkins for her assistance with the design development process.

Mr John Lamborn, Junior and Middle School Art Teacher, took his long service leave during Term Three and Mrs Carmen Stewart was appointed as his replacement. I thank Mrs Carmen Stewart for all her hard work and for the inspiration and enthusiasm she brought into her art classes. I wish her all the best for next year.

This year the addition of new tables and stools in the Senior Art Room has provided ergonomic support and comfort for our art students. Each year the Art Department continues to enjoy improvements in our facilities and welcomes changes which inevitably benefit our students.

The importance of the Visual Arts at Trinity College as a learning area is one which cannot be overlooked, for both the important knowledge and skills it imparts and the ways in which it helps students to succeed in school and in life. Art is an important part of a complete education. I would like to thank all art students for their efforts and enthusiasm during the year.

Dance Academic

GIG (Guys In Groove) I

t was another exciting year for GIG.

Ms Ruth Bott Dance Choreographer

This year we recruited some members from last year’s BIG (Boys in Groove) and a greater number of aboriginal students. We all looked forward to dancing well again at the Catholic Performing Arts Festival… and were not disappointed.

The theme this year was ‘In Their Element.’ Our dance featured different movement sequences reflecting earth, wind, water, and fire. With Ms Bott’s help, we worked collaboratively to put the dance together. This year our costumes were very different … and more effective.

Our props included a large light box covered in Lycra, used to create shapes and silhouettes.

This year’s highlight was the performance at Burswood on Thursday, 19 August. The atmosphere was unbelievable. There were both primary and secondary schools competing this year and the standard was much higher. However, we received an outstanding result again. The Trinity boys have really earned a reputation for our dance!

For the past two years, I have been involved in GIG. I have loved it because I had the opportunity to dance.

All of us showed the others that “boys have the moves!”

I would like to thank the boys for being there every Monday morning for practice and Ms Bott for putting up with us.

I hope to see the dance continuing in years to come and that more boys join GIG next year. You don’t know what you’re missing! I wish GIG the best for the future.

Design and Technology Academic

T

he Treacy Technology Centre has now been in operation for the past four years. During this time it has progressively grown within the school as more students select subjects within the Design and Technology area.

This year we have had a dramatic rise in the number of students studying in the areas of Materials, Systems and Graphical Communication.

This resulted in a new member of staff, Mr. Toby Trewin, commencing at the College at the beginning of the school year. Although Mr Trewin can teach in all the Design and Technology areas, his main area of expertise is in the Design and Graphics field and this has been evident in the excellent work produced by his students in the Design and Communication and Graphics classes. Using new 3D CAD software called ‘Ironcad’, students have been able to produce individual solutions to design problems.

Mr Ray Archibald Head of Design and Technology

In Year 8, students have been given ‘a taste’ of all the areas in order to select their elective subjects in Year 9.

Year 10 IGCSE students have studied a Design and Technology course which is both set and assessed in the UK and has worldwide recognition.

The Year 11 and 12 Applied Technology courses have been more popular with students this year. In this course they have designed and manufactured interesting projects ranging from fun go-karts to bedroom and lounge furniture, using wood, metal and plastics.

130

Systems Technology classes in Years 9 and 10 have designed electronic games, musical instruments and wind powered vehicles. In senior school, systems students have completed projects such as an automated pneumatic can crusher and a boxing pneumatic puppet game, operated by electro pneumatics.

Our Year 11 students again built solar cars to enter the Western Power Model Solar Car Challenge. They also exhibited the solar cars at the Catholic Schools Carnivale in Forest place in September.

With new Courses of Study beginning in the near future, we are very fortunate to have excellent technology facilities at Trinity which should make the transition as smooth as possible. Engineering Studies will commence in 2006 for Year 11 students in that year (our present Year 9 students) and Trinity will be one of the first schools in the State to offer this course.

We are in a time of change for Technology Education in Western Australia, but we can be assured that Trinity will always be at the forefront. This is due to the vision and planning of former Principal Tony Curtis, the School Board and school community who were responsible for the design and construction of the Treacy Technology Centre.

It is our challenge as present educators to ensure that Trinity students use this excellent facility to reach their full potential.

English and Debating Academic

F

rameworks education is the focus of our English Curriculum and its main thrust continues to be developing literacy and research skills to empower our students to learn independently.

This year our department has continued to expose the Mr John Geekie students to a wide range of Head of English reading and viewing materials which are deliberately chosen with boys’ education and interests in mind.

Our integrated learning units cover such broad topics as; ‘Growing Up’, ‘Self and Society’, ‘Cultural Identity’, ‘Gender and Masculinity’ to name a few. We study such texts as Boy by Roald Dahl and Boy Overboard, by Morris Gleitzman in Year 8 and in the senior school novels like Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. In English we also study non-print texts, which, like print texts, are cultural artefacts and tell us much about the times the texts were written and the values and attitudes which society shared at the time.

Often people think that when we speak of Literacy we are talking about learning to read, write and speak with confidence and clarity but in fact there are three areas of literacy. Technical literacy, which the students are very familiar with given the amount of time spent in front of their computers; functional literacy, the skills required when reading, comprehending, writing and spelling; finally, critical literacy is the ability to read “between the lines”. Students learn skills which help them deconstruct texts from a range of sources and understand how the

132

text positions us as readers or viewers to consider certain attitudes and values. They are able to identify the techniques which have been used by the author in construction of those texts. It is in the area of critical literacy where those of us who don’t engage in reading very often have the greatest problems with comprehension of texts. Because of this the English department pushes the idea of reading personal novels and expository texts for pleasure.

There is much talk in educational circles regarding the deterioration of literacy skills in children, especially boys.

You don’t have to be Einstein to work out that since the advent of television and personal computers the idea of sitting down and opening a book to read for pleasure is not considered very engaging by young people. In fact the whole notion of what literacy is has had a major paradigm shift. We continue to place a high priority on interactive classrooms where there is ready access to technologies. In Year 8 and Year 9 the students have several units in the ICT (Information Communication Technology) labs which focus on the continuing development of their ICT skills.

This year we again entered twelve teams in the Western Australian Debating Competition. The boys debated such diverse topics as; ‘We should cancel the Australian Day skyworks’ to ‘The playstation has destroyed the playground.’

I would like to thank all the parents for their support in our debating season and also the teachers who coached the boys for their debates. Unfortunately this year none of our teams reached the final rounds.

Education Support Education Support

T

he Mary Rice Centre is named in honour of Mary, Edmund and Mary Rice’s daughter. We know that their daughter was born in 1789.

Little is known about Mary except that she was described as having a disability. It’s clear that she was a powerful catalyst in changing Edmund’s Mrs Susan Prior life direction and sense of Coordinator of Education Support purpose.

It could be interpreted that in this social and spiritual context he grew compassion and groundedness because of Mary’s presence in his everyday life.

The Mary Rice Centre is about bringing disability into the light. It is a place, but it is really more about an approach. It is part of Trinity’s objective to address not only some of the consequences of marginalization related to disability but some of the causes, by working with staff in developing an inclusive culture (inclusive curriculum, inclusive policies, inclusive teaching practices and inclusive activities.) Over the last five years our aim has been to build an inclusive approach to delivering curriculum throughout the school. This means support is dynamic and flexible so that it meets students and teachers changing needs wherever they are. Inclusion is not about making everyone the same; it’s about welcoming everyone with their differences. Similarly, equity is not about everyone getting the same but getting people what they need.

This support can translate in a variety of ways in order to improve outcomes for all boys. Currently we have qualified education assistants who support teachers in classrooms throughout the school. We have trained volunteers who work individually with some students on school to work skills in particular. In 2004 we would like to thank Mrs Sue Walker, Mrs Patsy Colan and Mrs Loretta Tobin for the generous contribution of their time and talents to support our Trinity boys. We have a coordinator who directs and liaises with staff to target

134

these support needs in the mainstream. We also support the senior enterprise program which is an innovative, alternative learning pathway with a universally designed curriculum for Trinity boys, which means it caters for learner diversity. Including boys with disabilities means there is more support available for everyone. As an inclusive school community Trinity provides for the diversity of its students in the mainstream environment wherever possible. There is no “special education” group. For any boy diagnosed with a disability, Trinity staff work as a team and arrange case management.

This is an individualized approach or an individualized education plan to ensure each boy has the opportunity to reach his potential.

People’s attitudes are often the biggest obstacle contributing to marginalization. Disability is a normal part of society. So the Mary Rice Centre is about social justice for all students. It’s sometimes difficult to explain to people that our education support program is usually working at its most effective when the Centre is empty!

That’s because the support is happening throughout the school where it is most needed and attitudes can be most challenged when people have to share the same space.

The Mary Rice Centre is a school community facility and has hosted a range of functions for various learning areas and interest groups. It is a homeroom, a classroom, and a meeting place.

The Centre also supports education of the wider community. This year we have been involved in the reference group process with the Curriculum Council in developing curriculum and guides for its implementation.

Notre Dame University asked our staff to assist in the lecture component of the education assistants’ course.

Mary Rice was born during the “age of enlightenment” at the end of the 18th century.

Two centuries later we now see the reality and mystery of Mary’s role in contributing to Edmund’s and our own enlightenment.

Sue Prior Coordinator Education Support

Senior Enterprise T

he start of 2004 saw the post-compulsory students introduced to a third educational pathway.

Traditionally, Trinity College has offered students the choice of two options – TEE or Wholly School Assessed programs. This year signalled the birth of the Senior Mrs Marie Zwart Enterprise Program, more Senior Enterprise Program Coordinator fondly known as “Green Thumbs”. The aim of the Senior Enterprise Program is to help students gain and develop life skills and to graduate from Trinity College with a range of work related competencies and experiences needed to gain employment.

It has been an extremely busy first year. In addition to the students working towards achieving a Certificate I or II in Business and participating in the INSTEP or a schoolbased work experience program, the boys have been practically involved in getting the program up and running. The program has been designed with a horticultural focus; however the students have been exposed to a much wider variety of experiences and activities to increase their self esteem and awareness of the world outside Trinity College. This year the boys were given the opportunity to design their own weight training and fitness program, practise Circus Skills, expand their swimming skills and water-safety knowledge, go fishing and surfing, improve their computing skills, practise basic woodworking skills, in addition to learning basic horticultural techniques.

The boys in the Senior Enterprise Program have established some highly profitable businesses. Our latest business venture, called “Wee Wormy Juice”, involved setting up a worm farm and selling worm liquid waste to staff, parents and friends. “Wee Wormy Juice” is sold in two litre bottles for $2:50. (If you wish to purchase this

wonderful, organic liquid fertiliser, order forms are available at the front desk).

Education Support

Throughout the year Senior Enterprise students have developed several fruitful partnerships. Firstly, we were extremely fortunate to be able to work with Professor Stan Kailis from the Agriculture Department at the University of Western Australia. The boys spent a day with Professor Kailis, learning the techniques of olive propagation and benefiting from his advice and expertise. Secondly, we are privileged to receive support from Br. Frank O’Donohoe of Bindoon Catholic Agricultural College.

On several occasions Br. Frank has freely given of his time to show us how to work in the College’s olive groves. These outings also provided the opportunity for the boys to meet students from Bindoon and experience other facets of farming life, such as fruit picking and working with animals. I don’t think we will ever forget the smell of the pigs! We have also been extremely fortunate to re-establish links with Mr Patrick Coward, ex-Trinity student and now proprietor of The Margaret River Chocolate Company. Mr Coward has generously offered to donate fifty olive trees each year for four years to establish the Trinity olive grove.

This year has been a wonderful and exciting year for everyone involved in the program. However, it would not have been successful without a supportive teaching team. Special thanks to Tony Webb, Phil Jurjevich, Peter Duckett, Ruth Bott and Roger Blatchford for their expertise, vision and enthusiasm to become involved in this program.

We are looking forward to 2005 as a challenging year in which we consolidate the Senior Enterprise Program and continue to equip our students with business and life skills essential to a productive and fulfilling life beyond school.

Information and Communication Technology Academic

This year we have continued our focus on providing resources for the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the curriculum. Our aim over the coming years is to seamlessly embed the use of ICT’s into the curriculum and support the way teachers Mr William Quartermaine teach and the way students Director of Information and Communication Technology learn. Our focus therefore has been on hardware and software development; curriculum; and staff.

Hardware and Software development We have upgraded a number of traditional classrooms by installing multimedia resources. As a test case, we installed a data projector, ceiling speakers, a data screen, a network point, an amplifier, a VCR player and a DVD player into an English classroom. This allowed teachers and students to use a laptop for presentations, access email and the Internet, listen to music, and watch films and documentary DVD’s in their classroom. We have upgraded two Science laboratories and a Society and Environment classroom with similar resources and we will continue to upgrade classrooms each year.

This year the College has installed a state-of-the-art wireless network. This allows users of wireless enabled devices to read their electronic mail, search the Internet and access their network files from anywhere within the College grounds.

The Music department has been fitted-out with a purpose built computer laboratory. Trinity boys are now using highly complex software programs to complement their music curriculum. The boys are showing their creative talents through the production of some wonderful pieces of music.

Our software focus for the short term is database management software and administrative software tools. Schools need to manage an ever increasing amount of data and we have upgraded the school database software to provide more functionality for our administrators. We continue to develop our assessment and reporting software tools to meet the needs of our teachers.

136

A committee was formed early in the year to evaluate the function and purpose of the College’s internet web site. The committee came to the conclusion that the website needs to serve a different purpose to that for which it was designed six years ago. The College now needs an interactive web site that will meet the needs of the various members of the College community. The new website has been designed and built and will go online in 2004.

Curriculum The ‘core’ business of any school ICT operation is to support, complement or enhance the teaching and learning process. The focus of our ICT resourcing for a number of years has been on integrating technologies into the curriculum. Each year we attempt to increase the exposure of students and teachers to using the technologies that best suit their particular needs.

We have had a significant number of teachers using ICT in their classroom this year. The uptake of technology by Trinity teachers is a carefully considered and planned process. Many Teachers and students have been using an online learning environment that allows them to create online curriculum and distribute and submit work via the internet. Teachers are also using ICT to facilitate: online film reviews and video editing; internet searching; poetry writing; story drafting and writing; note-taking; biographies; digital presentations; web site projects; image editing; spreadsheets; accounting; online courses and science experiments.

Staff To support our main goal of integrating ICT into the curriculum, the role of Learning Technology Coordinator was created. Mr Roger Blatchford (teacher and Learning Technology Coordinator) works closely with teachers to develop technology solutions to enhance learning outcomes. Mr Blatchford also works in the classroom to support the classroom teacher with the use of ICT facilities, as well as providing teachers with ICT training and professional development.

Data management and web site development have become key areas in the ICT structure of the College.

Mr Richard Cackett (teacher and Web Manager) has managed these responsibilities and provided great support to staff.

The service and support staff – Mr Neil Seaman (Systems Manager) and Mr Warwick Gaff (Technical Support Officer) – have worked hard to ensure the smooth operation of the ICT network. Mr Seaman is new to the College and he brings a high level of skill and professionalism to his position.

The Future The College is working towards a position of providing teachers and students with the necessary tools to make use of modern technology to enhance the education process. Some future plans include: The use of our wireless network to connect wireless devices to each other and to outside networks; providing students and teachers with more access to computers; an improvement in the way that we manage data; better digital communication between school and home; an improvement in web services; greater data storage capacity and an increase in e-commerce services.

Languages Academic

Indonesian nfortunately, due to small student numbers undertaking Bahasa Indonesia, the decision has been made to phase the language out at the College. The Year 12 students undertaking TEE Indonesian next year will be the last students to participate in the Indonesian language program.

U

The focus for the Year 8 Indonesian students was on developing basic language skills which enabled them to converse and write about themselves, their families and their interests. Students also broadened their cultural understanding of Indonesia with respect to appropriate behaviour and dress, school life, pasttimes and traditional practices. On a lighter note, students played Indonesian games such as congkak (a board game) and lompat tali (jump rope), and sampled Indonesian snacks such as ketan hitam (black rice) and kerupuk (crackers).

Despite the difficulties of a combined Year 11 and 12 Indonesian class this year, the students demonstrated a high degree of flexibility and patience, as we alternated between the different topics and grammatical constructions for each year level. The focus for both year groups was to develop their formal writing skills, comprehension skills and conversational fluency.

In Term Four, the Year 8 students enjoyed some traditional Indonesian dishes at a local restaurant.

These included: nasi goreng, mi goreng, rendang and sate ayam. The food was not only delicious but the visit afforded students the opportunity to put their language skills into practice when ordering their meal.

The Year 11 and 12 class enjoyed an informal Indonesian lunch in class, courtesy of ‘The Sparrow Restaurant’, as a fitting conclusion to the year.

The traditional Year 9 lunch at Caffe Amaretto was a great success; thanks go to Mr and Mr Jean-Marc Rousset Mrs Vince Lipari who were Italian great hosts. Thanks also to Val Ciancotti who organised the Year 8 visit to the Tuscany club where the students learned to play bocce and briscola. They also enjoyed some beautiful Italian cuisine.

We stayed in Venice for three days. From there we travelled south, past Florence to the enormous capital city, Rome. We managed to see the famous colosseum, St Peter’s Square and the Trevi Fountain.

The trip was both exciting and very enjoyable while still being a great learning experience. We were able to live life in Italy to the full extent. It was an adventure we will never forget.

By Matt Venditti and Andrea Terni

I would also like to thank Sandra Vallini for helping out with the oral exams. This year Mrs Vallini has introduced Italian to the Junior School for the first time.

I look forward to another great year in 2005.

BUON APPETITO !!!!!!!!!!!!

Information technology has a great role to play in the Italian syllabus. Students of all year levels use this great resource to enhance their cultural awareness and to be up to date with the latest happenings in the peninsula. This year the Year 9 students have “travelled” the regions of Italy vicariously by using the freeways – working out toll gate fees, distances and locating motels. The weather is also important when planning a trip. Once more, the students studied the climate on the computer to work out the best season to travel Stile Italiano.

In April, three Trinity students and one Trinity old boy joined the Italian class from All Saints College in an educational tour of Italy, organised by Mrs Marlissa Gangemi. The tour lasted a month, we managed to visit and explore the many wonderful and famous places in Italy. While in Florence, we stayed with host families and were able to experience Italian culture.

We attended the Dante Alighieri language school in

The Year 9 lunch at Caffe Amaretto was a tremendous success. The students were able to sample the traditional Italian “cuchina” and put into practice their linguistic skills. Mr and Mrs Vince Lipari were our hosts and they made us feel very welcome. The waitresses made sure that the students ordered in Italian and were very nice to us. Grazie tante !!!!!

Thank you also to Mr Webb for accompanying us.

P.L. Duffy Resource Centre Library

T

he function of the school library is essential to the superior education of any school. A report, The Impact of School Libraries on Student Achievement published this year by the Australian Council for Educational Research has stated unequivocally that: a

strong library program that is adequately staffed, resourced and funded can lead to higher student achievement regardless of the socioeconomic or educational levels of the adults in the community. Our library certainly improves educational Mrs Rosemary Horton Teacher Librarian

achievements of Trinity students.

This year in our senior library light grey has replaced the orange and dark blue tables and chairs. This has improved the appearance of the library even further.

The light and bright library is always a hub of activity all day. Its pleasant aspect overlooking the beautiful and ever-changing Swan River welcomes the Trinity community within its walls. However, the resources of the centre are no longer contained within those four walls. Though books and magazines still remain the foundation of the library, multimedia resources like audiotapes, CD ROMS and online resources such as websites and databases provide an extension of the library into the whole school and beyond. Learning has never been contained to school and new resources have made it even easier to continue education beyond the walls of the school or the years of schooldays.

Before and after school and at lunch time students fill the library with a buzz of engaged activity: at the shelves, the computers, playing board games or in the reading area. During classes both staff and students are enthusiastically involved in using the library’s resources.

Throughout the school or after school at home, wherever there is a computer connected to the internet, everyone can use the P. L. Duffy Resource Centre website http://www.trinity.wa.edu.au/plduffyrc/ and online catalogue. http://students.trinity.wa.edu.au/webopac/.

Of course, we continue to acquire more materials you can touch, concentrating on selecting fiction books that are of especial interest to boys. We have added graphic novels to the collection this year. These are proving to be of interest to many boys as they combine visual and text literacies in interesting ways. Our audiotape collection has grown, and we are also building up an excellent collection of books for senior students and staff.

The combined Trinity /Mercedes College Book Club, the Pagers, continues to engross members as they read new books, talk about them, and sometimes write book reviews as well as always enjoying the lovely afternoon teas.

Another aspect mentioned in the report: collaborative relationships between classroom teachers and school librarians have a significant impact on learning, particularly in relation to the planning of instructional units, resource collection development, and the provision of professional development for teachers, is also a feature of our library and school and I want to thank all Trinity staff members for their professional collegiality.

I would like to thank my indefatigable and fabulous library officers, Jenni Properjohn and Catherine Hamilton. Thank you also to IT staff who remain dependable in giving us timely assistance, and the administration who always give us their continuing support.

Mathematics Academic

T

his year has been both busy and productive in the Mathematics Department.

This is usually the norm in this department, however we do have several students to boast about who produced excellent mathematics work amongst their hectic lives at Trinity. The 2003 TEE results Mr Rom Cirillo were outstanding with great Head of Mathematics scores from Michael Sims, David Allen and Jon Karolczak in both Calculus and Applicable Mathematics.

In Term Three, 2004, we had a record number of students sitting for the Australian Mathematics Competition, and we had some fantastic results.

Music Academic

Technology

T

he Music Department has moved into the world of music technology with a brand new state of the art computer, keyboard facility.

We installed seventeen computer workstations with electronic keyboards for the start of the school year. Each Dr Robert Braham Director of Music workstation has software for music composition and sequencing. Students notate their compositions on the screen for any instrumental group ranging from a solo instrument to a full orchestra, jazz band or rock band. They can also, using MIDI keyboard or recorded instruments and voice, create and record their own compositions and burn them on to CD. These and other pieces of educational music software have changed the face of music teaching in the classroom for all boys in Years 8-12. The electronic music software Sibelius and Cubase immediately rewards the students. When the boys create music the programs allow them to hear their music played in any instrument line-up and style. The software has also enriched the boys’ theoretical and notational understandings and significantly increased motivation, creativity, and composition skill levels. In the Year 9 Music Course computer compositions have featured a plainchant, Alberti bass accompaniment, theme and variations and a contemporary song arrangement.

The students incorporated theoretical and aural understandings, such as cadences, into their music works.

compositional software has enabled a greater range and complexity of work.

Catholic Schools’ Performing Arts Festival In 2003, the Trinity College music department won more awards in the CSPAF since its famous 1990 effort. 2004, in some observer’s eyes was destined to be a lean year. However, some of the most memorable performances in the festivals’ history occurred this year. The Year 12 body proved sensitive musical performers in their leadership of the Music Department. The solo performance on Marimba by Joshua Webster accompanied by Tommaso Pollio was exciting and virtuosic. The Chorale’s sacred and secular music renditions were described as “sensitively and beautifully performed”. With treble soloist Daniel Mullaney and violin soloist Justin Leong, the Dona Nobis Pacem achieved rare moments of musicianship.

In the realm of dance both BIG and GIG produced pieces that were fine examples of artistic, creative dance They set dance company standards for future members of these exciting groups. Overall, students won the Zenith Award for Excellence in Performance and Participation in the Spirit of the Performing Arts Festival for their performances. Congratulations must go to the following boys and ensembles for their achievements in this year’s festival.

Dr Robert Braham Director of Music

Year 10 students through their study of melody and rhythm have used Sibelius extensively. While studying the topic ‘Harmony’ in all its traditional theoretical manifestations they had their first taste of recording MIDI tracks using cubase. Using a Twelve Bar Blues composition, they wrote earlier in the year, each individual was able to record instrumental parts for drums, bass, and a selection of melodic instruments.

The result was an exciting arrangement built on their understanding of harmony.

Year 11 and 12 Music in Society students explored new areas of curriculum. Their creative work has included composing for solo instrument, duet, and class ensemble. They performed most of these works in the classroom setting. In the latter part of the year, the emphasis was on multimedia work with students putting sound tracks to an advert or film, the video footage playing on the screen while the students put down audio tracks in real time.

For the TEE music students, where melody and accompaniment writing and arranging music for fourpart instrumental ensemble makes up much of the composition component of the course, working with

Religious Education Religious Education

R

eligious Education is primarily a content directed subject.

The intention is to teach the students about the Catholic faith. Pope John Paul calls the Catechism of the Catholic Church a ‘reference text’ and says that is to ‘take into account various situations Mr Gerard Thesiera and cultures while carefully Dean of Religious Education preserving the unity of faith and fidelity to catholic doctrine.’ Through the various texts used at Trinity College we attempt to maintain this unity of faith.

The curriculum at Trinity College follows the teaching guidelines of the Catholic Education Office. We involve the students in activities of reflection, journal keeping and discussions, designed to integrate the concepts taught with their own personal experience.

The objective is to provide insights from the Catholic/Christian traditions, about their experiences and the many challenges facing the young people of today.

One of the most important concepts of Religious Education at Trinity College is the use of the Journal. A journal is a written record of a person’s inner dialogue, the thoughts, feelings, questions, impressions and connections that come to mind over a period of time. All students at Trinity College have to provide a journal specifically for Religious Education.

Students can expect to use this journal in every Religious Education lesson. The students can write in

148

response to reflections presented by their teacher, answer to review questions from their Religious Education textbook, or simply record their thoughts and reactions to daily life. The journal is a summary of each student’s work during the year. Generally speaking, the more a student writes in his journal, the more effective the journal process is.

Perhaps the best way of approaching the use of the journal is to see it as a conversation between the student and teacher. Writing, in a journal pushes a student to reflect, formulate and meditate. The quality of the writing is expected to be of their best effort. This process is to benefit the writer so he will be able to reflect upon his thoughts. It also teaches each student to take pride in his own thoughts. Teachers mark the student Journal each term. This affirms that the student’s thoughts, reflections and reactions are important and validate their progress. Assessment of the journal also challenges the student to make the effort to improve the quality of presentation and standard of work.

What does the future hold? 2005 provides the Religious Education programme with a new vision of assessment. Outcome Statements will be introduced as a form of reporting to parents the progress of each student in Year 8 & 9. This provides Religious Education with further challenges. It will reassess the expectation parents and teachers have of the students at Trinity College in the Religious Education programme.

Science Academic

I

n the science learning area we have always known that Ray Priskich, Head of Science, is a leader secondto-none. He is very modest about his achievements but it came as no surprise to us all that he was awarded the Inaugural Premier's Prize for Secondary Science Teaching Mr Ray Priskich - for excellence, innovation, Head of Science use of technology and curriculum development. The highly prestigious award was presented by the premier, Dr Geoff Gallop last November. Congratulations Ray - you certainly earned it.

This has been a typically busy year in the science department particularly where the staff has consolidated its grasp of Curriculum Framework in Year 8 and 9. The extension of the new system into Year 10 and then upper school over the next few years is presenting a significant challenge.

For some time it has been evident that a small number of students who find science very challenging would benefit from a smaller class size and a lower student/teacher ratio. In Term Three fourteen very lucky students were selected to form a small focus class under Mr Mike Slack-Smiths' watchful eye. He excels in his ability to engage and enthuse such students and his warm, personal approach enables these students to stay in touch with the discipline of science. It is proving to be very successful and will be extended progressively into Years 9 and 10.

The TEE results of 2003 were, again, excellent with all four subjects achieving above the state average thanks to the hard work and dedication of the upper school staff of Mr Al Hay and Mr Jim Shackleton in Chemistry, Mr Ray Priskich and Mr Ed Clark in Physics and Mr Tim Blake in Biology and Human Biology. We hope to achieve similar results this year, particularly in Human Biology with the enthusiasm and academic rigour that Mrs Brigitte Savy-Walsh has brought to the Year 12 group. In Term Two and Three Ray Priskich took a well deserved long service leave and was replaced by Mr David Adeline who has maintained the high standards in physics.

A number of new excursions were made this year. Mr Bobby Emmanuel, extending the scope of the new aquaculture topic in Year 10 Science, took all four classes to AQUA for a great day out. Trinity was invited to take part in the monitoring of the newly opened Point Fraser Wetland on the banks of the Swan River close to the Hyatt. The Year 11 Biology students make regular trips to complete a macroinvertebrate survey. The results are sent to Synrix - the designers of the wetland for analysis. The Biology program continues to extend the classroom boundaries

with other trips to the Hills Forest Discovery Centre, Star Swamp, Perth Zoo, various locations in the Perth Metro area and the pinnacle of the Year 11 course – the three day South West Excursion. We visited Dryandra, observing and trapping endangered animals and the Stirling Ranges looking at endemic plants as the students climbed Bluff Knoll. Our Year 9s visited the Geology museum at UWA as part of the Earth Science topic. This year the Sabah Expedition invited Aquinas College to participate and twenty one students and three staff had a wonderful experience.

The annual series of competitions took place with students entering the National Chemistry Quiz and The Rio Tinto Science Challenge. Students have applied for the Murdoch University Science and Engineering Camp and the Siemens Science Experience – all of which are excellent experiences.

The outcomes approach to learning in the middle school and our new laboratories has necessitated a cultural change. Our laboratory technicians Mr Lim and Ms Debra Renfrew have, once again, done a fantastic job with their elaborate juggling of resources and the expansion of our resource base ensuring the smooth transition. Their efforts have ensured we can strive for quality learning in science and be better able to assess the appropriate level at which each student operates.

In my capacity as Acting Head of Science I have been able to observe the enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication of the science staff to the wellbeing of their students. I would like to thank them for doing a great job and also thank them for all the support they have given me personally over the last two terms.

Astronomy Academic

Trinity College Observatory

T

he astronomical events of 2004 were dominated by two rare events of interest to all budding astronomers.

On June 8th for the first time since December 6th 1882, we were privileged to Mr Jeremy Dixon Observatory Manager witness the transit of the planet Venus across the face of the Sun. The Trinity College Observatory was able to capture this event in the late afternoon using a dedicated solar telescope that allows us to observe the Sun safely. The telescope allows a view of the Sun in a very narrow part of the spectrum known as hydrogen-alpha.

The accompanying image shows Venus shortly after the ingress of the planet on the surface of the Sun. The other highlight of the year was the appearance of two bright comets, C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) and C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) which reached naked-eye visibility. This was the first time in over a hundred years that two comets reached this level of brightness in our skies at the same time.

The College Observatory has undergone several improvements over the year, including substantial

150

upgrades to the computer hardware and software.

We have also installed a remote control system that allows us to operate the entire observatory remotely via an internet connection. Many of the students’ images have been obtained via this remote control facility without anyone being in attendance at the observatory dome!

A further improvement has been the addition of a narrow-band Hydrogen-alpha filter to the 12.5 inch Ritchey-Chrétien telescope. This filter enables us to study emission nebulae in remarkable detail.

A highlight of our year was the annual Western Australian AstroFest which was hosted in the College grounds and provided a ‘hands-on’ experience of astronomy for hundreds of visitors. Many took the opportunity to climb the stairs and have a look at some magical sights through the telescopes in our dome. As usual, the proceeds of the AstroFest were donated to the Starlight Foundation.

We are looking forward to an event filled calendar in 2005 and we are hoping for ‘clear skies’.

Jeremy Dixon Observatory Manager

Biology Tour to Sabah Academic

Sabah Malaysia Expedition

T

he headman of Dagat summed it up nicely "We are Doves and Ducks" - we are the same as we have feathers but we can not communicate. Dagat is a tiny fishing village on the banks of the Tabin River three hours by 4WD vehicle and one and a half hours by boat from Lahad Datu in N.E Borneo. Twenty four of us had arrived at the village enroute to the SOS Rhino field camp in the 120,000 hectare Tabin Reserve where we hoped to look for Sumatran Rhinos. The whole village participated to cook up a feast for our visit and with much arm waving, smiling, hand shaking and impromptu halftranslated speeches we think the 'ducks' suitably thanked the 'doves' for their boundless hospitality.

During the July holiday a group Biology, Human Biology and Geography students from Trinity and Aquinas travelled to Sabah in Borneo to explore tropical rainforests and other habitats. An introduction to mangrove swamps started the activities. At low tide thousands of mud-crabs and molluscs compete for the debris brought in with the tide. The next day our journey took us to Poring Hot Spring, where we were able to learn much about both the top and the bottom layers of Diptocarp rainforests on the exhilarating 30m high canopy walk. Afterwards our shaking legs received a much welcome bath in the scalding volcanic springs that give the area its name.

An arduous two day hike to the top of Mount Kinabalu at 4095.2m followed. The incredible variety of orchids, epiphytes, ferns and mosses that adorned the tropical rainforest along the trail was quite amazing. As we climbed further up the mountain the vegetation changed to stunted cloud forests full of flowering rhododendrons and hanging moss just visible in the ever-present mist.

After a 3000m climb the chalets were a welcome relief.

At 2.00am the more fit (and perhaps more foolhardy) awoke and scrambled through the darkness fighting painful muscles and the increasing affects of altitude to be rewarded with a quite magnificent view over the South China Sea at dawn. The trip continued to Sepilok visiting the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre for orphaned Orangutans. These sanctuaries are the only hope for these gentle creatures whose habitat is being continuously destroyed. A side-trip to the war memorial at Sandakan, where several thousand allied soldiers died in the Second World War, proved to be a very moving experience.

The highlight of the trip was at Sukau, on the banks of the Kinabatangan River. A small resort, carved out of the surrounding rainforest, served as a base for boat trips to see a multitude of primates, reptiles, birds and plants. A particularly close encounter with wild elephants rounded off a memorable two days. The amazing Proboscis Monkeys abound in this area and were easily seen foraging in the mangroves along the river. They were accompanied by Silver Leaf Monkeys, Pig-Tailed Macaques and Long Tailed Macaques all squabbling for the best food. An hour offshore from Sandakan is Turtle Island. Here Green Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles come ashore to lay eggs in the sand. After a relaxing day in the sun we were fortunate to witness first-time females lay eggs late at night.

The final two days were unforgettable when we joined SOS Rhino, a non-profit organisation dedicated to saving rhinos worldwide, looking for the critically endangered Sumatran Rhino. Only thirty of these shy creatures exist in the whole of Borneo and we were extremely fortunate to see the tracks of a young animal during a gruelling four hours survey through thick rainforest. The only way to get to Dagat and the field camp was in tiny boats along long winding rivers surrounded by lush Diptocarp forest. The field camp was a small area simply carved out of the forest. The camp itself was made from branches tied together with vines we half expected Tarzan to come to visit. The survey was very hard work literally cutting thorough the thick undergrowth all the time checking for rhino tracks. We discovered several mud soaks where animals bathe and found many tracks of elephant, pig, deer and banteng (wild cattle) but only a single set of rhino tracks. I am sure the boys will not forget their meal of fish caught in the river and ferns from the forest. The expedition was a wonderful opportunity for the boys and it is hoped it will remain a permanent fixture in the Trinity calendar.

Society and Environment Academic

What is Society and Environment?

Mr Lucio Cicchini Head of Society and Environment

Society and Environment incorporates the knowledge, skills and values from the disciplines of Geography, History, Economics and Politics. In Years 11 and 12, Trinity students have the option to study Geography, History, Economics and Political and Legal Studies.

Outcomes Approach Our Year 8 and 9 curriculum adopts an outcomes approach. This allows learning to be more studentcentred with the use of a greater variety of learning strategies to meet the individual needs of students. We recognise that students learn in different ways.

Students are offered a variety of learning opportunities and assessment methods to cater for individual differences.

What happened in Year 8?

The focus in Term One was on the development of Geography key skills and understandings. In Term Two, students developed their own web page that explored their personal family history. Year 8s also explored the history of the College and the culture of Aboriginal Society. A representative from the department of Conservation and Land Management’s Indigenous Heritage Unit instructed students, allowing them to participate in a bush string making activity and a spear/boomerang throwing activity.

What happened in Year 9?

The focus of the Year 9 curriculum is on Australia. In Term One, students explored a number of issues related to the use of money, budgeting and investment. In Term Two students looked at our cultural and natural environments, and the relationship between the two. This included urban planning and the environmental impact of developing one of our national parks. In Term Three, students examined Australian identity, and the different events and factors that have contributed to the development of an Australian identity in the 21st Century.

What happened in Year 10?

152

All Year 10 students studied a unit of each of the four disciplines of Economics, Geography, History and Politics. Each unit was studied for a period of nine weeks As a result of studying these units; students received the necessary background to enter the upper school subjects of their choice. Each unit incorporated the use of information technology as a tool for learning. Students were exposed to the rigors of examinations at the end of each semester. Some Year 10 students also participated in the National Geographic Australian Geography Competition

achieving outstanding results. Out of the fifty six Year 10 students that sat the Competition, thirteen students achieved a High Distinction (the best result possible).

Congratulations to Zakarie Anderson, Tom Antoniazzi, Kwan Chia, Sean Chia, Christian Dannolfo, Luke Douglas, Riccardo Faraone, Xuan Ji, David Ker, William Schwab, Justin Soon, Michael Wright and Aaron Davidson.

Year 11 and 12 Subjects We have been able to maintain and in some cases increase the numbers of students in the upper school subjects of Economics, History, Political and Legal Studies and Geography.

Year 11 Economics Economics students in Year 11 participated in the Australian Stock Exchange Stock Market Game throughout the year, with some of our students rating quite high in the overall state and national rankings.

Students participated in the Australian Economics Competition. Six of our students: Matthew Bouwman, Benjamin Creighton, Gianni Di Giovanni, Andrew Hislop, Jemin Jo and Daniel O’Connell achieved a high distinction.

Year 11 Geography In Year 11 Geography students participate in a wide range of filed activities. In Semester One students investigated the physical processes at work at Trigg Beach and assessed the impact that human activity has had. In Semester Two students visited the Herdsman Lake Wildlife Reserve run by the Gould League at Wembley. At this location students were required to complete a series of data collection activities which would allow them to gain a clear insight into the workings of this ecosystem.

Year 12 Geography Camp Year 12 Geography were involved in a two day camp in Term Two which enhanced their specialised studies of economic activities in the South West of WA. Students travelled to Harvey to study the economic base of the town, assess its infrastructure and study its location Credit should go to our wonderful Society and Environment teachers who have been able to capture the interest, imagination and enthusiasm of students.

Vocational Education and Training Academic

E

ach year sees Trinity advance one more step along this important road.

Vocational Education is a term used to refer to all activities at the school which have future work as a particular focus. It covers specific vocational subjects drawn from national training Mr Kevin Johns packages and also general Coordinator of Careers and Vocational Education and learning programmes with a Training vocational perspective: employment related skills; enterprise education; career education; work based learning and community-based learning.

This year, seventy students sought national competencies in Business and Information Technology.

A similar number joined the Structured Workplace Learning Programme (Instep) Next year close to twenty students will enrol in the Certificate in Sport and Recreation. Three will join the Mercedes College Hospitality programme.

Ten staff have now done the extra work to qualify with the Certificate 1V in Assessment and Workplace Training. This is the minimum benchmark qualification required to supervise VET in Schools. Special thanks to

these staff for their support of the students. Mr Bill Quartermaine, Mr Richard Cackett, Mr Roger Blatchford, MrTony Webb, Mr John Broadhead, Mr Martin Tobin, Dr Robert Braham, Mrs Marie Zwart, Mr Doug Simpson and myself. Mr Simpson will assume a more direct role next year as VET coordinator responsible for the day to day running of the programme.

As a result of the Strategic Planning exercise introduced by the Principal, Mr Bothe, Trinity will see an increase in resources in the Vocational area, particularly in the Careers and Enterprise offerings.

There will be a much stronger focus on Year 9s and 10s on the one hand, and more support for the TEE candidates on the other. We look forward to spending more time on individuals, supporting them in the wise selection of subjects and other learning choices. I will be coordinating this work.

We anticipate the continuation of the successful Senior Enterprise Programme (Greenthumbs) so ably coordinated by Mrs Marie Zwart. We also look forward to the development of policy as more Government direction and support reaches into the schools, for example, “stand-alone” VET programmes; school-based traineeships and apprenticeships.

Outdoor Education Academic

O

utdoor Education in 2004 saw some significant changes in the development of the upper school courses.

The Year 11 course culminated in a Seatrek expedition to Shark Bay for six days. Eighteen students Mr Adam Scott and two staff sailed the Coordinator of Outdoor Peron Peninsular observing Education and living in the natural environment. Some highlights of the trip included staying at a spectacular red dirt campsite at Big Lagoon and visiting the original homestead at Shark Bay where we had a spa in the artesian spring.

Unfortunately the weather turned and Shark Bay received 80% of its rainfall in the last two days we were there. This was a great learning experience for everyone about being prepared for the worst and working as a team when situations become difficult.

We all survived to tell the tales to our grand children.

In the second year of Year 12 Outdoor Education, we introduced some new initiatives to the course. In Term One each student earned a bronze medallion as a part of their first aid and search and rescue requirements.

154

Our main emphasis for the year was a cycling expedition along the “Munda Biddi” trail between Dwellingup and Jarrahdale. The expedition was physically quite demanding as we wound our way along the hills from campsite to campsite. We witnessed some spectacular scenery including two of Perth’s dams and some beautiful campsites that were vibrant with wildflowers and native fauna. Each student took a leadership role in order to get us safely to our destination. With one exception, where we went wildly off track down a huge hill, we managed to find our way safely through the bush. I commend the boys for their achievements during this expedition.

The middle school courses continue to be a popular option for students. For the first time, there were six classes in Year 10 resulting in the need for two camps.

These adventure camps in Margaret River prove to be a good test for students who want to leave their comfort zone and challenge themselves to abseiling, rock climbing, caving and performing manoeuvres ten metres above ground in the treetops.

Thanks to the participating teachers for giving up their time and energy on all our camps. Particular thanks to Mr Steve Leahy, Mr Marcus Wilkinson, Mr Gary Malarkey and Mr Jerry Scott.

PSA Sport Sport

Trinity has enjoyed a particularly successful year in the PSA sporting competition in 2004. While it is simplistic to measure success by how many trophies or titles are won by our senior teams, it must be taken into account that success at a senior level is often the result of a structured and Mr Stephen Leahy planned programme that Sportsmaster started back in Year 8 and our results this year reflect positively on this planning process.

Year Summary This year the 1st V111 rowers won the Challenge Cup with a scintillating last 200m of the 2km race and the morning was capped off by the whole rowing community contributing to the winning of the Hamer Cup which recognises excellence across all crews. It is important to recognise and thank Mr Ray Kosovich and Mr George Xouris, who have both decided not to continue in their respective roles as Master-in-Charge of Rowing and Head Coach next season. Under their guidance, Trinity has emerged as the dominant rowing school as evidenced by the winning of the last three Hamer Cups. Congratulations to Mr Phil Jurjevich who has been appointed to the position of Director of Rowing.

The First XV111 football team, having shared the Alcock Cup last year with Aquinas and Hale, were able to win the trophy outright this year with an outstanding effort which saw them remain undefeated over their ten games. Their win in the last game of the season, in what was effectively a grand final, was an absolute highlight.

The senior cross country team also completed an undefeated season to win the PM Moyes Cup for the third consecutive year. Given the format of the cross country competition, several boys have been involved in all three victories. Our junior football and cross country teams also performed very well and for the first time ever, Trinity fielded two badminton teams in the winter season.

The athletics team completed the year by winning the Alcock Shield for the first time since 1991. Having improved gradually over the last five years, the boys produced some outstanding performances on Inters day to record a twenty one point win over a strong Aquinas outfit. Making the win more significant was the fact that this was the 100th running of the athletics inters and matched the efforts of the rowers who had previously won the 100th Head of the River back in 1999. Mention should be made of Mr Rob Marshall who had been the Head Coach for many years but left to go to Chisholm before this year’s season – much of the credit for our result is attributable to his hard work.

Our performances in the Hamer Cup and Alcock Shield were real “whole school” efforts. Given that all crews

and athletes from Year 8 through to Year 12 contributed to the final points tally, it was a wonderful experience for the one hundred or so boys involved in these occasions.

While it is easy to write a report in a year as fruitful as the one just experienced, there are some basic essential elements which must be adhered to if we are to continue our successes into the future.

What constitutes success in a schoolboy sporting programme? I believe that all boys at Trinity must be given the opportunity to participate at a level appropriate to their development which may be at a “first” team or it may be at a “third” team level. The boys playing in our B and C teams are all striving to be the best they can and this needs to be encouraged and recognised.

The spirit of participation is strongly promoted at Trinity and in 2004 we fielded fifty seven teams in the summer season and forty one teams in winter. We also had swimming and athletics teams in Terms One and Three respectively. Next year there will be additional tennis and basketball teams in Year 10 meaning an additional twenty boys will have to opportunity to represent the school each week.

Improvement of Facilities The swimming pool has finally been completed after many delays and setbacks.

New tennis courts are being built at Waterford to replace the old ones. This will be another top facility for the boys. If all goes to plan they will be ready for Term One, 2005.

The configuration of the grounds at Waterford is also being changed to provide better surfaces for the boys to play on. The grounds will be divided into two main sections – one providing an appropriate grass surface for games where the ball is predominantly rolling such as hockey, cricket and another section of Waterford will cater for sports where the roll of the ball is less critical such as football, rugby and soccer. A new road is also being built to improve the traffic flow particularly on Saturday mornings.

Thank You In conclusion, it remains for me to recognise the efforts of the many people who enable our programme to function smoothly. Thank you to: the teaching and coaching staff for their efforts often in the face of heavy marking and teaching loads; the ground staff for ensuring all facilities are ready when required; the parents who fill multiple roles such as chauffeur, confidant, referee, timekeeper, caterer and many more; the College administration who support the programme and the boys who represent the College with pride and distinction each week.

I

would like to acknowledge the outstanding contribution of Mr Damian Messer to Physical Education and sport at Trinity College. He is one of the longest serving members of the department and during his time at Trinity his dedication and commitment has been exemplary. Mr Messer and his family will not return to Trinity College in the near future as they have settled in Tasmania.

The staff warmly welcomes Mr Jeremy Scott on his recent appointment as a permanent member of the department for 2005. His talents and enthusiasm for the learning area and teaching will contribute to our energetic and dynamic team.

With the return of Mr Gary Malarkey and appointment of Mr Marcus Wilkinson, and Mr Dion Mepham the department has grown significantly and boasts possibly the most capable team of physical education teachers and sport coaches that the college has employed. The need for this increase is due to the overwhelming demand from students for the diverse range of courses that the learning area provides.

Trinity College Aquatic Centre The opening of the Trinity College Aquatic Centre marked the completion of the most exciting development for the Physical & Health Education learning area since the construction of the Foley Centre twelve years ago. The vision and determination of Mr Peter Duckett and the enthusiastic support of Mr Anthony Curtis now means that the College now has the best aquatic facility in the Public Schools Association.

The heated 50m facility with the capability of Olympic size water-polo has provided our Physical Education, Aquatics, Fitness and Health and Outdoor Education programs with a tremendous boost. A comprehensive Year 4-10 Aquatics program means that students will have the opportunity to progressively improve their swimming and water-safety skills for almost the duration of their schooling at Trinity College.

The addition of Mr Dion Mepham to the Physical Education and Health teaching staff has provided us with the teaching and coaching expertise that we required in this area, and I am sure that under his and Mr Duckett’s guidance Trinity College will soon be a competitive force within the swimming and water-polo competitions.

Summer ‘Specialist’ Program

158

The ‘specialist’ Physical Education units implemented in 2001 were developed further this year and proved again to be very popular and beneficial to students.

During these programs students were given the opportunity to select a summer sport of interest and received specialist tuition over approximately a seveneight week period. Year 8 and 9 students were involved in a specialist summer sport program that provided tuition in either rowing, swimming and water-polo, cricket, tennis or volleyball. This program

will continue to become more comprehensive in the future and allow students to make greater use of the outstanding coaching expertise and sport and physical activity facilities available at Trinity College.

Sports Education in Physical Education The Sport Education in Physical Education seasons conducted during Term Two again proved to be very popular with students in Years 8, 9 & 10. Many students accepted the challenge of participating in this unit of work as Sport Board members, coaches, captains, publicity officers and umpires. These responsibilities were undertaken in addition to the role of participant.

The Year 9 Sport Education season also included for the first time an Introductory Australian Football Umpiring Course that provided the twenty eight participants with the opportunity to obtain the fundamental skills required for officiating as field umpires. The course was conducted by Mr Paul Pitchers, Umpiring Development Officer for the Western Australian Football Commission. This course will be extended to a larger number of students in future as it provides an excellent opportunity for the development of interpersonal and self-management skills.

AFL Level 1 Field Umpiring Accreditation Congratulations are extended to the Year 11 Physical Education students that participated as Australian Football umpires at the JSHAA Lightning Carnival. This also served as an opportunity for a number of the students to be assessed for the AFL Level 1 Field Umpire accreditation that is integrated into the Physical Education Studies course. The level of expertise and cooperation throughout the day from all students was simply outstanding.

Assistant Teacher Practicum I would like to recognise the contribution of the students from Edith Cowan, Notre Dame and the University of Western Australia that completed their Assistant Teacher Practicum at Trinity College. The Physical and Health Education staff is to be commended for commitment that they make to mentoring and assisting the student teachers in their professional development and formation during the eight to ten weeks that they are with us, and our programs and students benefit significantly from the injection of energy, enthusiasm and ideas that the students bring to the learning area and sport at Trinity College. We wish Mr Dylan Chavez, Mr Stuart Denton, Mr Elliot Moore and Mr David Hankin all the very best in their teaching careers.

I would like to encourage all students to continue to make the most of their great opportunities to participate in physical activity at Trinity College.

Athletics Sport

I

n what became yet another battle of rare quality, Trinity defeated Aquinas College by 21 points to win the Alcock Shield by scoring 1324 points in the 100th PSA Athletics Inters. By winning three of the five final relays of the carnival, the true depth and spirit of the Trinity athletes was revealed. It was fitting that this event capped a memorable sporting year for the College.

The effort, discipline and determination of the athletes was of the highest quality as was the way that they graciously accepted their win and congratulated their competitors. It was obvious to all the spectators that the Trinity athletes enjoyed competing at the highest level for their school.

The team’s preparation was thorough in the four week season that was shortened by inclement weather. The team was fortunate to have a quality team of coaches which included teachers, parents, old boys and friends of the College. The Year 12 athletes, led by Captain Ben Russell and Vice Captains Chris Dendle and David Rossbach, set excellent training standards and provided a fine example for the younger athletes.

The depth of the Under 14 athletes was very encouraging for future years.

Lead up competitions with Christ Church at Trinity and then with Aquinas and Hale at Perry Lakes were important events in providing all athletes with competitive experience and the chance to press for selection in events on Inters day. Also, during the lead up to the Inters, the Senior and Junior athletes won the

Western Australian School Teams competition in their respective divisions.

Our reserves can take significant credit for the team’s performance. Their encouragement to other school competitors to give their best efforts both during training and on Inters day ensured success. Many young men strive to participate in the carnival itself. It is this depth that allows the team managers to ensure that events are shared around among the athletes, thus keeping all athletes fresh for optimum performances. Trinity had the biggest team at the Carnival and it showed in the results.

Parents have played a very significant role in the preparation of the athletics team. The collective effort of parents in being officials on competition days, providing morning teas, sausage sizzles and presenting the breakfast and dinner on Inters day has contributed to the development of team spirit.

The College has developed a culture of participation and the pursuit of excellence over many years. A great deal of credit for this state of affairs goes to Mr. Rob Marshall whose passion for athletics and for boys striving to be the best they can be has ensured the strong following that athletics has in the College.

With the improvement achieved in recent years the Trinity athletics team has set itself to be a major force for many years to come in athletics.

his year saw Trinity College join the PSA badminton competition for the first time, making badminton a full PSA sport competing for the Kelly Cup (named after our own Br Tony Kelly) The Trinity boys started the year as social players making sure their opponents enjoyed themselves and didn’t work up a sweat! That seemed to be the way to play.

After their first game against Hale, a 9-0 loss, they quickly realized that there was a better way to play!!

Hit the shuttlecock AWAY from their opponents and over their heads!

There was another 9-0 loss to Wesley in the second week, but the games lasted twice as long, and some boys were even scoring points. Anthony Chiu, and Josh D’Souza actually won a game in the firsts! There was excitement in the air.

The next week against Aquinas, was the best fixture of the year. Trinity 5 Aquinas 4 in the firsts. A win!!

Damien Harvey won a brilliant singles match, as did Shaun Wyn-Jones. Damien and Mark Fay combined

to win their doubles match, and set the standard for wins in the rest of the doubles matches. The entire team contributed lead by the example of Captain David Smith, who also won his doubles match with Shaun Wyn-Jones. It was a day to remember.

The most improved Badminton player in the school for the year was Michael Maynard who improved his skills and cunning to actually defeat David Smith on an early Tuesday morning training session. He ended the year playing in the Firsts.

The school championship was decided in a close match between two of our best three players, David Smith and Shaun Wyn-Jones. Shaun won a closely fought battle to become Trinity’s first Badminton Champion. However the entire team, firsts and seconds, all played like champions in the last nine fixtures, once they realized that this was not social badminton. They were a pleasure to watch and coach.

n 2003 the basketball fraternity at Trinity College indicated that the future looked bright. While the 2004 Blackwood Cup season was one of mixed success, it demonstrated that the bright future is still approaching, and at an exponential rate.

excelling at this level saw a healthy rotation of players through to the First V team. The Third V personified the importance of application and commitment to the College. The “career Thirds players” are to be especially applauded for their week-in week-out efforts.

Our First V squad began their quest during the 2003 Term Three holidays. This pre-season training has become an important component of our preparation for the upcoming season. It reveals amongst the players a desire to dedicate themselves to the team and allows for the further development of a unified approach to the season. At the beginning of the season, the squad set the goal of winning the Blackwood Cup. This was not an unrealistic goal given the talented group of players on the roster.

However, at the end of the day, Trinity finished in third place on the table behind Aquinas, who brought home their third successive Blackwood Cup, and Scotch, by virtue of a massive second-half turnaround that took Trinity by surprise.

Trinity experienced outstanding success in the younger age groups with our 10A, 9B and 9C teams remaining undefeated, while our 9A and 8B teams sustained just one loss to tie for first place in their respective competitions. The 8As completed a solid start to their PSA careers, finishing in second place. All players put in great efforts this year and with continued hard work further success is bound to eventuate.

At their best the Trinity First V was unstoppable. The team was second only to Aquinas at the offensive end of the court. Surprisingly, for such a strong defensive unit, it was lapses in defensive intensity that cost the team in key games. However, this could not detract from some stunning performances. Joel Wagner (Captain) and Jarrad Prior (Vice-Captain) led from the front throughout the season, with consistent application and an approach that motivated all members of the squad to contribute above and beyond the call of duty.

The Second V had an exciting season, with a number of close victories and a stumble only at the last hurdle with a loss to Scotch. The fact that players were

Under the guidance of Coach Myles Kelly, our basketball players are developing an increasingly professional approach to the game. There is less room in the squad for individual glory and a greater emphasis on the development of team focussed basketball. The great efforts of all other coaches and managers are to be applauded. In particular, Mr Andrew Osnain and Mr Tim Redden should be singled out for the enthusiasm they have brought to Trinity basketball. Both teachers have put in many extra hours of coaching and support for the benefit of the players.

As we now look forward to the 2005 season, our players should remember the words of former NBA centre, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: “One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.”

Cricket Sport

rinity College completed arguably its most successful season in 2003/ 2004 with all teams from Years 8-12 experiencing a high degree of success throughout the season. Moreover, the level of participation in cricket has been very encouraging and places the college in a strong position for upcoming seasons.

Congratulations particularly go to the Year 10 A squad that completed a most successful season in Term One of 2004, finishing in 1st place in their competition with three wins, one loss and two draws. Similarly the 2nd and 3rd XI’s finished in 1st place with five wins and one loss each, in their respective competitions.

The strength of these performances is due to the comprehensive coaching program currently available from Years 4-12 that is staffed by qualified and enthusiastic coaches, coupled with the improved playing and training facilities at the college. This program continues to be supported by an enthusiastic and diligent parent cricket committee that assists greatly in making many of the events within the cricket program possible.

From a coaching perspective the 2003/2004 season has been one of the most enjoyable that I have been involved with during my eight years at Trinity College as coach. Part of this is of course due to the success of the teams and individuals that you coach. However, a number of other factors have also made this season a satisfying one. Firstly, the level of camaraderie amongst players that have represented the College this season, which was most evident during matches when players sat together and took great delight in the success of their peers. It was also demonstrated through the spirit and level of application of the team in the field, particularly in fighting games out to the end as was the case in the tie against Aquinas College, and also in final match against Scotch which was won with minutes to spare.

Secondly, the level of cooperation, commitment, initiative and leadership at training that enabled twenty eight or more players to consistently work together to achieve training goals and coordinate their own drills and activities under supervision, made the hard work and planning all the more enjoyable and satisfying.

Thirdly, the positive attitude adopted by all players to selection, which at times was most difficult due to the strong competition for places within the 1st XI, made this aspect of coaching easier and significantly more effective in selecting the best equipped team to represent the college in the Darlot Cup each week.

Outstanding performances throughout the season included the consistent batting of Matt Fawcett and the bowling of Year 11 student Dane Lazarus who collected 20 wickets in his first Darlot Cup season.

Matthew Birrell’s 114 in the final match of the season was most impressive and demonstrated that occupation of the crease with prudent shot selection and excellent running between wickets is the best formula for producing match-winning scores.

I would also like to highlight the support provided by the senior players within the squad and for their contribution to the coaching program, and, the cooperation, commitment and support of the parents that made this season really enjoyable. I would particularly like to recognise the contribution made by Preston O’Keefe (captain) and Chris Wills (vicecaptain) throughout the season for their outstanding leadership on and off the field.

I would like to thank all coaches for their efforts throughout the season, especially Mr Murray McKenna, Mr Rainer and Mr Porter, and also members of the Trinity College Cricket Committee for their invaluable service through the season. I look forward with great expectation to the next season.

Cross Country Sport

2

004 was an unprecedented season for the Senior Cross Country Team which succeeded in dominating this sport by winning the PSA Championship undefeated. It was the first time a Trinity Cross Country Team has achieved this. We also became winners of the P.M. Moyes Cup for the third year running – another Trinity record. An indication of the strength and depth of this sport at the College is that the Junior Team also had an undefeated season, which bodes well for future successes in this sport.

This excellent result can be attributed to the spirit of the team whose determination and will to win undefeated never wanned. Adding to the strength of the team spirit was the ethos that all members are important.

The aim therefore, was not just to win but to strive for success based on their own goals and to always be supportive of the efforts of all the team, not just the top fifteen runners.

The commitment and passion of our inspirational coach Mr. Phil Jurjevich ensured the boys were continually challenged to seize every opportunity, to never lose the love of the sport and to always reach deep into their inner selves to find the strength and courage which would sustain them not only during the competition but also in their future after Trinity. One outstanding feature of Trinity Cross Country was that each boy was cheered home by his team members – no one was unimportant. The coaching staff of Mr. Jurjevich, Mr. Daniel Privilege and Mr. Nam Nguyen ensured that Trinity produced a formidable team.

David Rossbach was again our best runner, with outstanding performances from Matt Slack-Smith, Tim Hunt and Brennan Cummuskey. Trinity’s strength lay in its depth and size with no other school being able to match the consistent speed of our top fifteen runners which was backed up on every occasion by the boys just outside the top fifteen. The team was also supported by an outstanding group of Junior runners

who were promoted to Senior level, all of whom demonstrated great courage and determination against boys twice their size. Stuart Love, an exceptional athlete, was not only the best Junior runner coming first in three of the Junior All Schools Events, but was also ranked as the sixth fastest runner within the Senior Team. Well done, Stuart. Josh Hicks, Kenneth Duggan, Joe Calabro and Nick Lee were also outstanding.

This year the Hasting’s 5.8km Bridges Cup was retained by Dave Rossbach. Congratulations!

It has been a privilege this year to have worked with such an outstanding group of athletes. However special mention must be made of the contributions and leadership of the Year 12 Students within the squad.

This group of young men were indeed the backbone of the team, respected by all. Thanks must be given to The Team Captain David Rossbach, who was well supported by the three Vice Captains, Jordan Caine, Sam Gillies and Joel Wagner. Their leadership and dedication will be missed.

It was also great to see the large number of enthusiastic parents who came to give their wholehearted support to the boys. Their presence certainly contributed to the determination of the team members and I was grateful for the huge amount of support which they offered. A heart felt thank you to all involved.

I look forward to the continued success in Trinity Cross Country as we farewell the Year 12 members and see many of the Juniors now become part of the Senior Team. I know the Seniors who leave us will take with them the knowledge that through determination and commitment their goals can be achieved.

T

wenty one years ago, Mr. John Montagu coached a Trinity College First XVIII team through a season undefeated. This year he repeated the feat by coaching the 2004 First XVIII team through a season of ten games with a record of nine wins and one draw.

After winning seven games and recording an enthralling draw, all that stood between Trinity and the 2004 Alcock Cup was arch rival and brother school Aquinas College. The Grand Final was played in front of more than three thousand five hundred spectators. It will be remembered as one of the best PSA football games ever. All credit to Aquinas, the game was very close, but in true Trinity spirit and with the support of the strong Trinity contingent the boys took the game and the Cup by two points.

support. One individual deserves special recognition and thanks for his efforts on that day. Michael Moroz led cheer after cheer, each one louder than the last and as the game wore on the cheering drowned out every other noise. The team was very appreciative of the job that Michael did and of all who were there to follow his wonderful lead. The senior footballers of the college showed great dedication, commitment, spirit and mateship. Three boys in particular that have made my job so much easier: James Thompson, Ben Russell and Ben Gryta, this year’s vice-captains. I thank those boys and all other senior footballers and wish them success in wherever life may take them.

The success of this year’s First XVIII would not have happened without the help of many individuals. Father McMahon, before the start of every game, would talk to the team and offer his words of advice. These talks truly inspired the lads and on behalf of all the players I would like to thank him. Thanks also to Mr. Jurevich who spoke to us before the last game of the season and helped us draw on our own Trinity spirit to win on the weekend.

Mr. Dan Foley took on the assistant coach’s job this year and was an immediate success with the boys.

Mr. Redden was the Manager for 2004. He assumed many roles and the season would not have run so smoothly without his expertise and commitment. Mr. Montague is the most passionate man I know in the world of schoolboy football, he is committed, spirited, dedicated and a man of many words. On behalf of the First XVIII for this year I would like to extend an enormous thank you to Monty. Also thanks to Nathan Bird for doing stats each week, Dave Rossbach and Jake Sinagra for running water and all students who at some point during the year came down to support us.

The much publicized Grand Final was indeed a spectacle for all that were present. I know that many students came down to the game and gave their

T

he 2004 Hockey season has proven to be encouraging across all year groups.

The First XI team was a well balanced side which stayed competitive for most games. The highlights included a 3-0 win against Aquinas with Conor Breheny scoring two goals and a 2-2 draw with Wesley in a close fought tussle.

The defence was well led by Steven Rimmer and Ben Creighton who have started a formidable defensive combination. They combined well to keep the team in the contest on several occasions The midfield brigade worked hard all season. Team captain Andrew Hooper displayed his superior possession skills on many occasions and proved difficult for the opposition to counter.

Our forward line created plenty of chances throughout the year but was unable to capitalise in the circle.

Andrew McIntyre had a memorable game against Aquinas and continued to develop. Gerald Lillywhite played a superb role at inside right. Luke Ward also had a good year playing as a striker.

The Second XI had one of their best seasons for many years. The team was ably led by James Dryka and Matthew Hodgson and proved extremely competitive.

Many games were decided by a single goal. The

spirit shown by this team was outstanding. Special congratulations to Liam Kennedy on his tireless efforts which won him the service and contribution award in a team that had many solid contributors.

The Third XI also had some pleasing results during the season. The squad worked hard on their fitness, courtesy of coaches Shane Ogilvie and Chris Groves.

This paid off with some great performances towards the end of the season.

The Year 10 hockey teams had a mixed season. The team played in some fantastic wins, some gallant losses and on the whole all members had shown improvement in their hockey skills and abilities.

The 9 As had a promising season and displayed great improvement with every game. Andre Di Filipo performed well throughout the season and was ably supported by Dean Savage-Morton, Brenton Bush and goal keeper James Dryka. The 9 Bs had a rapidly improving season and recorded four wins and two draws. Henry Nguyen and Daniel Cichy proved to be the back bone of the team.

The Year 8 As had a very successful season and remained undefeated.

Rowing Sport

O

n Saturday 27th March 2004, we saw the white racing singlets of the Trinity Rowers ‘shine’ like never before. We witnessed the magnificent ‘blue army’ of supporters erupt into a marathon of war cries and chants that will etch this wonderful day on all our minds for a lifetime. Whilst this day will be rightly remembered as the first time that Trinity College claimed the Hamer Cup and Challenge Cup on the same day, it will fire up many memories for the several generations of the Trinity Community in attendance. To win six races from thirteen starts in such ‘rough seas’ showed both enormous courage and resolute discipline from all the young men who rowed.

To describe such a BIG day ‘in a blink’ doesn’t do it justice, but here goes. It began with an all the way win by our gutsy Year 9E Quad. Then several crews had to cop their dramas ‘on the chin’ in dreadful water while being highly placed. From here, crews pulled season best efforts and a wonderful win by the Year 10 Quad to rack up valuable points. Then came stunning wins by the PSA benchmarking 1st and 2nd Quads. Hearts were soaring. Next came the heart stopping but very popular half length victory by the 3rd VIII. Then our brave 2nd VIII resurrected their race despite the fury of the elements, to be a whisker off second place and finally, the trademark ‘storming home’ power display by our victorious 1st VIII.

176

All our rowers and coxswains faced the ‘do or die’ challenge that is the hallmark of the Head of the River Regatta. Having been conducted in three different centuries it is jam-packed with history and drama and is definitely not for the faint hearted. Indeed some parents can’t watch it ‘live’; they prefer to see it on video when they know their sons have won!

Before the season the Seniors could sense the chance to lead their club to the unique ‘Double-Triple’. That is to win Trinity’s third Hamer Cup (in a row!) and our third Challenge Cup at the 105th Head of the River.

The boys’ high expectations, together with the Olympic quality knowledge of George Xouris and the hard work of the coaches and parents, led the club to weld into an irresistible force. A force with spiritual and physical dimensions that was to stun even some of the most hardened observers of PSA rowing. As the youngest club in PSA, these are exciting times to be a Trinity Rower. This season was our most successful Head of the River ever and was marked by many first and significant events. Term Four, 2003 began with winning the PSA Indoor Rowing Championships for the first time. Future Captain of Boats, Rhys Grant also claimed the Overall Champion Individual of the PSA, a Trinity first. Training in all its forms was marked by genuine and deliberate purpose. Team unity was paramount at all times leading to numerous sacrifices

Rowing Sport

of self for the greater good of the team. Christianity at work! Once regattas got under way, the Captains Rhys Grant, Adam Cherubino, Jamie Hewlett and Patrick Riley together with their fellow Seniors set a tone, building towards that ultimate Double. Thanks Men. We are blessed to have such willing coaches who sacrifice personal preferences to coach wherever needed. Their efforts have in no small way contributed to our three Hamer Cups. Singling out coaches is dangerous, but I will risk it. Thanks to Paul Abrahams for his flexibility with his ever-changing Year 10 Quad.

Their CWC victory was an appropriate farewell gift.

Congratulations to Claire Woolfitt who coached the undefeated 1st, 2nd and 3rd Quads and has the record achievement of victories in each of the last three years. It was also fitting that Colin Webster’s mighty 3rd VIII finally became our inaugural winners. Phil Jurjevich’s (’85) second great victory as 1st VIII coach, against the collective quality of the PSA armada is no small feat. His passionate coaching and ‘hand in the fire’ resolve was a huge factor in our 1st VIII powering home over a valiant Hale, to remain undefeated over 2000m. It is also great news that Phil’s reputation as an inspiring coach has reached higher with his selection as Assistant for the Australian Junior World Championship Quad. Green and Gold at last! Whilst on Australian representation, congratulations goes to inaugural Olympians Ben Cureton (’98) and Stefan Szczurowski (’99) for making crews bound for Athens. Also, Rhys Grant has been selected in the Quad for the Junior Worlds in Spain.

In closing, properly thanking everybody involved with the successes of this season is nearly as hard as the Regatta. So in keeping

with Uncle George’s style, the more difficult it gets the more you turn to simplicity. Genuine thanks goes to the boys who pull and steer, both in crews and as reserves. Thanks to all the coaches for passing on the traditions. To the always legendary Parents Auxiliary, led by President Mr Guy Grant, your endless contributions are a blessing, thank you. Finally to all the Old Boys, friends, especially Rick Denniston and family businesses that provide often unseen but genuine support, thank you.

I

n the contest for the Lawe Davies Cup this season, Wesley College and Hale School, dominated the competition and unfortunately the First XI had to play them on two occasions. Although our team showed the Trinity spirit, and for large periods of the games played the better football, we were unable to put the ball in the net and this proved to be our downfall. In the other six games the team was able to turn their dominance into results, winning five and only losing to Aquinas in the last minute. A special mention must be made of James Quinn, up front, Ben Wisbey and Peter Menchetti in midfield, and Adam Russo, Daniel Pastorelli and Andrea Terni in defence.

The other senior teams had greater success; the second XI lost only one game in the first round of the competition against Wesley and won their division over all. Some of the outstanding players were the goal keeper and vicecaptain, Justin Pietracatella and the centre back and captain, Daniel Steffanoni. The third XI also won their division with nine wins and one narrow loss – 6:5 to Guildford. During the season they scored a total of seventy two goals while conceding only fourteen with the top scorers being Marcin Kiszko and Minh Nguyen.

The 10 As had an excellent season, finishing top of their division after losing only one game. Under the excellent guidance of Mr Adam Sibson the boys improved their skills, fitness and team play throughout the year. A number of boys had excellent seasons, but particular mention must go to Michael Dinh and Ronan Bray who were almost impossible to separate for fairest and best.

Captain Ben Colquhoun provided excellent leadership, and Phil Santos’ efforts to improve his fitness reaped excellent rewards. The 10 Bs also finished on top of their division. They only lost their last game and finished the season with eight wins and one draw. The standout players were Alex Pagnozzi, Leonard Ong and Will Schwab.

In 9A soccer the boys lost only one game throughout the season and finished in top position winning nine of their ten matches. Overall this was a great team effort, but special mention must go to Alex Cocking, Calum O’Connell, Aaron Mayo and Captain Josh Marocchi who provided the skill and class necessary to overcome some strong opposing teams. The 9B group were cooperative and supportive. Congratulations to the whole team who won their championship and especially the captain Tim Cluett who always proved to be a great leader. The team did not lose a game and only drew a couple. The goalkeeper David Siliquini was outstanding and the defence led by Beau Mavric was impenetrable and the forwards and midfield were just unstoppable.

The 9C team finished their season with five wins from the ten games.

The Year 8 teams also had an excellent season with the 8A, nine wins and one loss, and 8C teams, seven wins and one draw, winning their competitions. The 8B team finished third with seven wins and three losses.

Soccer Club Singapore Tour 2004 On the 16th July, after months of fundraising and preparation, sixteen honoured boys left Perth airport to embark on an enjoyable tour of the social and cultural experience that Singapore had to offer and to take part in an extremely challenging soccer campaign.

The group visited attractions like the Singapore Discovery Centre, the Night Safari, Sentosa Island and one full day in Malaysia. The remaining spare time was spent shopping which resulted in various boys calling home to ask for more cash.

The most relaxing times were spent in our hotel rooms, which led to frequent ‘attacks’ on various squad members. Late night chats came back to haunt us in early morning training sessions. These were wearying and most vigorous as the boys were so desperate for starting positions and most of us were still acclimatizing to the humidity and heat.

The soccer aspect was the main reason we were there, and after underachieving in the PSA season, the boys were hungry for success. We were scheduled to play the two heavyweights of Singapore soccer, Home United FC and Singapore Armed Forces, followed by a first for Trinity soccer, a game against the Singapore U/18 National team. Persistence and patience was required in our first game against Home United, to win 1-0, after Ben Wisbey scored a great goal with only five minutes remaining.

The next day, an inspired Trinity outfit, played Singapore Armed Forces FC. Unfortunately we

184

conceded two early goals that deflated the team. In the second half, we came back with great perseverance and a “never say die” attitude after great goals from Chris Chiari and James Quinn, levelling the game at 2-2. However, deep into injury time, we conceded a goal to go down fighting 3-2.

Our final game saw a very fatigued TC take the field against the best competition possible, the National Team. The boys played with great heart and determination and were only 1-0 down at half time.

Battling fatigue and doubts in the minds of some boys, we ended up losing 4-0. This was a disappointing end to the tour, sending us back home wondering ‘what if”. Andre Terni, Chris Chiari and Adam Russo executed vital roles in the team’s solid performance with their tremendous efforts in all three games.

The behaviour of the side was impeccable, due to the responsibility of representing the College and being under Mr Blatchford’s direction. Without his tireless efforts the tour would not have been possible. Special thanks must go to him and Mr Archibald, who stepped in at the last minute to help keep the boys focused on the job. The parents also deserve special thanks for nearly six months of preparations and to the ‘connections’ they had in securing sponsors and committing people to help out in fundraising. Also we thank the parents who came with us on tour and kept us on guard. The players were thoroughly grateful for their support and for the efforts of the best possible waterboys Singapore had ever seen. The experience of the tour will be forever remembered and valued.

Swimming Sport

T

he 2004 swimming season was always going to be a challenge for coaches and swimmers alike.

Our expectation was to be able to begin training in January and start the momentum for the development of the College’s team so that in a couple of years we would begin to make our mark as one of the competitions swimming powers. However, as a result of the pool being unfinished and no suitable alternative venues being available, we were forced to go into this year’s carnival with little or no training.

When the pool finally became available, we managed to squeeze our College Championships in just before the Quadrangular Carnival. This allowed us just enough time to select our team for our first interschool meet.

The first positive signs for the year were apparent when the new Year 8s hit the water for their championship events. It would appear that with a winter programme and some hard work, the Year 8s will be a force to be reckoned with in a short period of time. In fact, our only wins at the Interschool Carnival came from this year group.

The Year 9s and 10s also showed that with just a season training they too will show sharp improvement and provide the future teams with depth and leadership.

Given the team’s lack of preparation, the spirit and willingness of the boys to swim against much stronger opposition was heartening. Although finishing toward the rear of the field in many events at the Quads our

boys were not far off the placings and many still managed personal bests for the season. It demonstrated to all that the potential for swimming success is plentiful. All that remains now is for the boys to stand up and commit to some hard work so that those fifth, sixth and seventh placings becomes first, second and thirds.

The interschool team was selected from the performances of the boys from the previous week’s carnival. The swimmers could have been forgiven for approaching this meet with fear and the expectation of a severe mauling, but that was not the case. They chose instead to meet the challenge head on. Lead by their swimming captain, Simon Whitfield, and the other senior boys, they gave a great effort throughout the evening. Again it was heartening to see so many of the swimmers produce a season’s personal best on the night.

For all the training that wasn’t done we still managed to score fifty points more than we did in 2003. Things will only get better. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the boys for their efforts this season and to the coaching staff for their assistance with the programme.

We now move forward into a new era of swimming at Trinity College. The team with the support of parents and coaches has begun the march to the last remaining grail that has so far managed to elude the College.

Mr Peter Duckett Coordinator of Aquatics

ince the College’s new pool came on stream in the latter part of Term One our students have embraced the opportunities that have been available to them. Our Aquatics programs across all year levels have proven very popular, despite the conditions during the winter

months.

188

During Term Two our first class of Year 12 students completed a Bronze Medallion, which they did as part of their Outdoor Education course. Another group of Year 10 students will also complete this qualification during Term Four. Students enrolled in the

Aquatics units in Years 8 and 9 have also been enjoying their courses which have seen them develop a wide range of aquatic based skills. The swimming and water polo coaches have been taking sessions throughout the winter months for those students wishing to take advantage of some pre season preparation for the summer competitions.

With the size of this facility so many more students can access the pool than has been the case in the past. It is extremely pleasing to see the primary students in the pool throughout the year, these students have been given an excellent program and the benefits will extend well beyond their time at the College. It is the development of these life skills that has made this wonderful facility one of the College’s key resources.

Tennis Sport

O

ur first fixture saw the Trinity First VIII line up against a highly rated Christchurch side. The number of tight sets going against us, was an early wake-up call that there was work to be done after the long holiday break. A definite lift in the commitment of all the players was evident in the following week of training and was reflected in a solid 14-10 win over Wesley.

A two-week break followed and the team took this opportunity to work on their overall agility and endurance with additional fitness training in Kings Park and at the school courts. A great challenge lay ahead with our next fixture to be played at Hale, the eventual winners of the competition. The young Trinity team matched up against the highest quality opponents and put up a valiant effort on the whole with many sets going to tie-breakers. However, the final result showed we had a way to go before we could consistently convert all opportunities into wins.

Another away fixture against rivals Aquinas gave us an opportunity to finish well placed on the ladder.

However the opportunities to win sets were again not always taken and we met a 9-15 loss. Disappointed at our failure to convert aggressive and competitive tennis into the results we would have liked, we set the record straight with a hard-fought win over Guildford at home in very difficult windy conditions. The final fixture for the season pitted us against a solid Scotch team.

The players found it difficult to adjust to the grass surface which was also a bit slippery due to a little rain. A lack of experience showed, with our young team facing stronger, older and bigger opponents and we suffered our worst lose for the season.

Tennis at Trinity is currently going through a developmental stage. We have a very young group of players in the First VIII, with six of the eight players able play in the next season. Also there are some other players who show excellent promise and will challenge for places in the top side. The future of Trinity tennis looks very positive. Mr Ian Walker was again employed as the tennis professional coach. His range of training drills provided a variety of activities to keep training challenging and interesting. I would like to thank the team for a rewarding year and for the effort they put into their matches. Next season the emphasis will need to be on gaining a more consistent performance with a competitively tough approach to all matches.

It is important to acknowledge the dedication and enthusiasm that the teaching staff put into their roles as team coaches. It is necessary to have that enthusiasm so that students are keen to continue with their tennis and strive to do the very best they can. My thanks for this go to Ms Gordon, Mrs Lane, Ms Neasham, Mr Malarkey, Mr Rousset, Mrs Prior, Mr Stewart, Ms Kauhanen, Ms Stewart and Ms Mizen.

To the parents who regularly came along and supported their team, thank you. Also, to the parents involved with the PSA teams, thank you for the support with the morning teas.

Volleyball Sport

A

t the beginning of February the Trinity Volleyball season once again began with games played at Lords Recreation Centre in Subiaco. This year saw the inaugural inclusion of a Year 10 team into the Saturday competition. There are now six official teams over Year 8 to 12 in the PSA competition.

The First team sported plenty of height and talent. Led by the Captain William Brock, they showed remarkable skills and determination to win some of the early games.

Unfortunately, a tendency to start slowly meant that were always trying to catch up in the match and often the difference between winning and losing was one point.

After many close matches, despite being the more impressive team in the contest, the final result placed our Firsts in fourth place. With players building on their skills and experience, next year will be a quality year for Trinity.

Our Seconds had plenty of depth and many players filled in for the Firsts over the season. Coached by Mr Gianni Ricciardi, they improved consistently over the season and managed to place third overall in the competition.

The Thirds had a large range of players with differing abilities. However what they lacked in experience, they made up for in sheer motivation and determination. With Ms Rita Basilio at the helm, the Thirds managed a very respectable fourth place.

This year saw the beginning of a Year 10 competition.

Led by old boy Mr Emmanuel Solana, our team struggled against more experienced sides. Despite this lack of experience our boys always managed to field a

192

side and gained in skill over the season, finishing fourth overall.

Our Middle School volleyball players turned up in numbers to compete on Fridays against the other PSA schools at Lord’s Recreation Centre. Trinity showed its depth with many players shining over the season. We were easily able to field three sides, all of which were very competitive.

Our Middle A team were very experienced Year 9 boys who had played a full season of volleyball last year.

They dealt with most sides easily but dropped one game against Christchurch which cost them the top spot and they finished second overall.

Our Middle B team, coached by Mr Marcus Wilkinson, set the standard in their competition, finishing in the top position, the best result for Trinity this season. Also the Middle C team acquitted itself well, the standard of play and sportsmanship were a pleasure to watch.

Special mention must go to Joshua Marinoni, Daniel Purcell, Damon Mule and David Hart who won Service and Contribution Awards for Volleyball in 2004.

Congratulations to all those boys who trained hard and persevered over the season. Their hard work and determination was commendable especially towards the end of the season when full squads of over twenty five boys were training together in the mornings. Thanks to all parents and friends who supported us over the season.

Waterpolo Sport

T

rinity waterpolo concluded on a high for the Term One season 2004 with the First VII defeating Guildford Grammar School 10 – 7 in Trinity’s first home fixture in the new pool.

After what was an excruciatingly long and frustrating wait the pool was finally given the all clear to be used for the second last fixture of the season against Guildford Grammar School.

It was the best game the team played all year.

With the scores 8 – 7 in Trinity’s favour in the last quarter of the game Guildford could not put away any of their shots. With some excellent individual and team play Trinity scored two more goals to finally bury Guildford.

All Trinity waterpolo players, swimmers and coaching staff should be congratulated on their patience with the pool in first term and their willingness to keep turning up to training in the hope that the pool would be all clear to use.

Coaching staff, consisting of Mr Peter Duckett, Mr Jim Shackleton, Mr Richard Cackett and Mr Dion Mepham, especially need to be commended on their enthusiasm to pursue different avenues of training and keep the students motivated when the lack of a pool became an on going problem.

General strength and running exercises in the summer heat trained the students physically, and psychologically in the sense that they knew it was only a matter of time before they would be training in a pool.

The Year 8s and 9s showed that without any water time they could still be competitive against the other

194

PSA schools. The A team had some strong wins, but in a hard fought match against Aquinas, were unfortunately defeated. They failed to score four swim away goals and eventually lost by three goals to the best team in the competition.

Swimming fitness, or lack of, is an attribute that is always highlighted against the stronger teams.

Without a pool we had to concentrate on other areas such as defence to try and stop the set plays, which we did with regularity in both upper and lower school.

The First VII lead by Ronan Fahey and Simon Whitfield improved with every game. Teams that beat us convincingly in Term Four of 2003 had trouble scoring this season and ended up scoring either from our mistakes or swim away goals. Importantly, the scoring percentage of other teams in set play and extra man attack was relatively low.

I’m feeling confident that waterpolo at Trinity will go from strength to strength due to the programs which will commence in winter for both the senior and junior schools.

I would like to thank Mr Peter Duckett for his tireless effort in getting the pool up and running against a maelstrom of adversity.

I would also like to thank the Trinity parents who showed vast amounts of patience and support in terms of coming to watch their sons play waterpolo at a variety of venues.
