In 2005 the Year 9 students had many social events and outings with Mercedes College and other girls’ schools. The first social occasion was a quiz and games night in Gibney Hall with the Mercedes students. The night was great fun.
Year 9 Trinity students, are all involved in the schools sporting programme and have represented the College with pride and dignity whether experiencing success or not.
In Term Two we had a series of dancing lessons with Mercedes College, which culminated in a formal evening. In Term Three Trinity College was invited to the Penhros River Cruise and Perth College Social. Both socials were successful with the boys showing exemplary behaviour and representing the College extremely well. The students on the whole enjoyed all the social events this year and will be looking forward to the events in the years to come. On behalf of all the students I’d like to thank Mr Montagu for organising the socials and dancing sessions. Thanks must also go to the teachers and parents. Without staff and parent support these socials would not be possible. Sam Burke
Academic Throughout the year, the Year 9 students have participated in various academic activities, extending their ability and testing their mental capacity. In each of these areas, the students have utilised every opportunity and have gained invaluable knowledge and skills..
The best of the College’s Year 8 and Year 9 footballers under the guidance of Mr Quartermaine, won the Belt Up Cup, a competition in which the majority of the state’s serious football schools compete. The team won the grand final in a convincing fashion, winning by 70 points. The Year 9’s also contributed heavily to the school regaining the Alcock Shield, achieving personal bests. In the meet leading up to the carnival Kane Lucas won Champion Boy and Sam Burke won Runner Up. Wei Gen Ng and Kyle Mackin represented the college in First tennis and Tom Coates in the First XI for Hockey. There is also a group of students who ran for the Senior Cross Country team. Matthew Cowie deserves much recognition for his efforts representing WA in Malaysia. Matthew won gold in discus and bronze in shot put. Kane Lucas was presented with five awards for physical education, aquatics, tennis, athletics and football on speech night. At Bindoon Agricultural School the Year 9 Basketball team won the shield for best team against many other teams. The school also had our best ever result in the swimming inters finishing fourth. Xavier Foley gave a tremendous effort winning Champion Boy. On behalf of all the Year 9s I would like to thank Mr Leahy for doing an exceptional job of co-ordinating the school’s sporting system and fixtures. Mitchell Burger
During the third term, each student was tested with the standard MSE 9 Examination, giving us an indication of our placing in different subjects state-wide. Additionally, a large contingent of students participated in the Westpac Maths Competition and Maths Challenge. Some students did extremely well and were awarded distinctions, high distinctions as well as prizes. They are to be commended on their exemplary efforts.

Christian Service has been a massive success for this year for the young men of the Year 9 group. The students participated in activities such as cooking soup in the soup kitchens, fund raising for events such as the Winter Appeal and the Fun Run and cooking breakfasts for Aboriginal boys in the mornings. Every year the whole school contributes to an appeal for the less fortunate in India.
