Student Roll Call

Year 8

Senior School is a significant milestone in the life of a student. The transition from a small Junior School class to the myriad of classrooms and teachers in Middle and Senior School can be very daunting. Throw in the added expectations of procedures, rules and after school activities and it can be a very harrowing experience indeed. The Year 8 cohort of 2006 adjusted to these demands with great initiative and endeavour. Many boys found that the key to survival lay in being organised and taking personal responsibility for their lives at the College. Being at the College gives students great opportunity to partake in the numerous activities offered. From sports, dance, debating, music, as well as all the various subjects offered, the choice is endless. It is pleasing to see the number of boys getting involved in college activities and the relative increased growth in their physical, emotional and social selves over the year. Early in the year, grandparents were invited to the College to spend time with their grandsons. Students had to guide their grandparents around the College and talk about their College experiences. This was followed by a morning tea with musical entertainment provided by a few select Year 8 musicians. Many pleasing comments were received about the excellent level of maturity and enthusiasm displayed by the Year 8s throughout the morning. At the end of Term One, all Year 8s attended Camp Kelly in Dwellingup for a three day Orientation Camp. The boys were involved in rafting, hiking, boat building, and spent time in the great outdoors with their peers. Socially, this was a great opportunity to develop new and interesting friendships. Many of the bonds created at the camp will last for many years to come and will be a source of strength and support at the College.

Each homeroom group elected two members of their class to be student representatives. These select boys were expected to be good role models and provide leadership within the group. I would like to thank them and encourage them to continue to seek leadership roles at the College in the years to come. There were many events over the year that the boys participated in, including the high standard of attention and behaviour at College assemblies, the enthusiastic Mr Bobby Emmanuel Head of Year 8 support of the Swimming and Athletics carnivals. In particular I would like to mention their support and effort for the College Fun Run. The Year 8 group were the greatest participants in the St Vincent de Paul’s Winter Appeal and I would like to thank all those boys who brought in blankets and food items for the poor over the year. The highlight of the year would have to be the Trinity Mercedes Hat Party. The Year 8s appeared en masse, in their best clothes and all sporting a fanciful hat. The night got off with some icebreakers and as courage swelled in the ranks, some highly energetic dance moves were spotted around Gibney Hall. I must congratulate the boys on their mature and good spirited participation at this social and at the social held at Penrhos College earlier in the year. Many favourable comments were made about the number of gentlemen at Trinity College. In conclusion, I would like to offer my deepest gratitude to the Pastoral Care teachers, Mr Presser, Ms Prior, Mr Chapman, Mr Hinks, Ms Wilson, Mr Mueller, Mr Rousset, and Ms Wheeler. Their patience, expert tutelage and support have been the foundation that the Year 8 group have come to rely upon. On behalf of the Year 8s, thank you for your commitment, generosity and compassion.
