Trinity College Auxiliary President’s Report
The year 2005 has in many ways been a challenge. However, it is a sign of the depth and commitment of Trinity College that adversity and challenges has made the community stronger. The passing of two members of the Trinity community was deeply felt. The departure of our Principal Mr Peter Bothe, was also unexpected. However, under the leadership of Mr Rob Henderson the year has turned into an extremely positive one. The Auxiliary has also undergone significant change. In keeping with the new age of political correctness, our name has changed from Ladies Auxiliary to the Trinity College Auxiliary. The College has appointed Sandra Doick as Community Relations Officer. This will assist in the organisation of functions and give the College a valuable link between parents and the community. Our annual fund-raising event for the year, The Trinity Wine Festival, survived a wild and windy night, thanks to the brave souls who supported our function. With the funds raised we were able to provide seating for the students near the gymnasium, and purchase essental items for the Auxiliary kitchen. This year, the guest speaker at our August Morning Tea was Jade Lewis, a young West Australian, who shared the honest and frank account of her life story. Her dedication to rescuing and informing young people and their families of the global drug menace was enthralling and inspirational. Funds raised contributed towards landscaping of the school and grounds. The Trinity Auxiliary continues to provide voluntary support to the College in many ways. These functions seem to increase each year. I would like to thank the dedicated members of the Auxiliary for their continued support and energy. Your willingness to assist in so many ways, is a significant contribution towards providing services which otherwise could not be maintained with the low fee structure offered at Trinity College. Your hard work and friendship is highly valued.
Trinity College Auxiliary meetings are held at 9am on the second Monday of the month in the College boardroom or as noted in the newsletter. We would love to see more people become involved, develop friendship and be part of the Trinity Spirit.
