Year 11

2005 had many musical, sporting, academic and spiritual highlights for the 180 Year 11 students who completed the school year. Many of the students showed great maturity in dealing with their first year of post compulsory education and the extra demands and pressures placed upon them. To touch on some of these highlights I would like to make special mention of several events that took place during 2005 beginning with the Quest Retreats. The continued success of the Cadre Retreat Programme involving 60 Year 11 students was a feature of the first semester. The programme delivered much enjoyment to the Year 11 and Year 8 students involved and focused on the spiritual dimension that this College has to offer as well as a valuable peer support programme. Christian service in Year 11 has for many years put the student’s faith into action with many experiencing the true meaning of “Christ amongst Us”. This year a number of our service providers made very positive comments on the high level of commitment made by the students. Several service providers were also

impressed that students were prepared to return to their placements during subsequent holiday and weekend periods to continue to help others. As a follow-up to this programme, the Encounters Retreat programme was held during Term Two. These retreat days focused on why the Campus Ministry conducts Christian Service. Students realize that our faith into action, in the spirit of Edmund Rice is at the core of our curriculum and a part of the Trinity College Mr Barry McKenna Spirit.

Head of Year 11 Term Three witnessed after a very successful conclusion to our winter sports and music programme involving many Year 11 students. At the end of the term it was pleasing to see that over 100 of the students nominated themselves as prefects for 2006. To the 21 boys finally selected as prefects, I wish them every success and I am confident that they will lead the student population to a very successful and enjoyable 2006. Finally, I would like to thank the Year 11 PCG teachers of Mr G Porter, Mr Rod McRae, Mr A Hay, Mr J Watson, Mr L Bisnath, Ms S Reagan, and Ms M Zwart for their dedicated work during the year.

In the last week of July, Xuan Ji and I were fortunate to be given the opportunity to attend the International Space School (ISS) held in Houston, Texas. We were proud to be the Australian representatives among the thirty-six students selected from twenty different countries around the world. The objective of the ISS is to expose students to some of the work done by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), encourage interest in space science related fields and to plan a manned mission to Mars. The ISS is a program run fully by volunteers who share the same love and passion for space and the future of space. It was founded in 1997 by Geoff and Annette Mules. Everyone associated with this program strongly believe that the future of space rests in the hands of our current generation. While in Houston we were very lucky to visit the Johnson Space Centre Mission Control – both old and new – and many various astronaut training facilities including the Neutral Buoyancy Lab. We also visited a testing facility for the VASMIR rocket engine, which is 30% more efficient than the chemical rockets of today and can reduce the travelling time from Earth to Mars from 167 days to only 30 days. Also we accomplished two challenger missions. These were a simulation of a real mission with half the group working in Mission Control and the other half on board a “Space Shuttle.” We received many interesting lectures on living in space, space law, space suit engineering, astromaterials research, space physics and on the then current STS-114 mission. A highlight of our stay was watching the launch of the Discovery from the Johnson Space Center. As you know on board the STS-114 was Australian-born astronaut Andy Thomas. While in space orbiting the Earth he and the Discovery team sent us their regards via e-mail. The success of the launch and the STS-114 mission made the whole trip memorable.

All of these lectures helped in our planning of a manned mission to Mars. We were all job interviewed for a position in one of four teams. The yellow team was in charge of the budget and the Moon base. The green team – living on Mars, the blue team – working on Mars and the red team –getting there and back. Besides the mission being a complete success we also learnt that not one team could complete the mission by themselves and that we all had to work as one team, an “International team”just like the International Space Station which is orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes. Not only was this an amazing experience from a learning point of view but it was also a great opportunity to meet students from different countries, learn about their cultures and create life long friendships. This inspirational experience has made me even more determined to enter the space industry and one day mirror the accomplishments of Andy Thomas as an astronaut.

Xuan and I are grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend this magnificent once in a lifetime trip and we would like to thank the many people involved in making the whole trip an outstanding success. Sincere thanks goes to Mr Priskich, the Trinity College Board and Geoff and Annette Mules. Also to the mentors, guest speakers, host families and country point of contacts who have been more than willing to give up their own spare time in order to make the ISS such a success and finally Chris and Clare Greenfield who fly to Houston every year to run the ISS.
