Year 11

Many 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. 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. 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

was a great innovation and one that the Year 11 boys and the Year 8 students enjoyed. 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 Mr Barry McKenna great job the students do in this area and appreciate the

Head of Year 11 money raised for their particular organisations. 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. 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

In 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.
