Principal’s Address Administration

I

t is with enormous pride that I address you and as my first year as being the Principal of Trinity College draws to a close I thought I would use this opportunity to give a few of my reflections on the year.

I have deliberately decided not to give a summary of all the activities of the year, to do so would be to ignore the reports from so many people that have contributed to this Annual.

in local, State and National competitions but seeking your personal best in your academic pursuits should be the aim of every student.

Thirdly, our College has developed a reputation in the area of the Arts that is the envy of many. This year, through the efforts of a large number of students we were presented with the Zenith Award for best school in the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Trinity College proudly talks about Festival, added to this was James four pillars that support the McKenna’s win in the Angelico Art educational experience that each Exhibition. Nights like our Speech student receives.

Nights and the various music nights held throughout the year are always Firstly, we are a Catholic School Mr Ivan Banks a show case of our students’ talent. operated in the tradition of Edmund The self-discipline instilled and Rice. Through our Religious developed through consistent music or dance practice Education Program, our Retreat Programs, our liturgies, can be transferred into many aspects of life. The our Sacramental program, our Christian Service majesty and ceremony that our pipers and other programs and our pilgrimages to name a few I believe musicians offer to many of our events is fantastic. that we are offering a very authentic Catholic education.

This year I had the privilege of attending my first Kairos The fourth pillar upon which a Trinity College education Retreat, to be part of a program when young men share rests is that of sport. It is strongly argued that students, their faith with their peers is truly inspirational – this is a boys especially, learn a number of life’s important voluntary program but one that I would encourage all lessons through sport. Whilst I won’t list those lessons senior students to consider. Our Religious Education program is supported by our sacramental program which allows our students either in the junior school or older students later in their schooling to receive the sacraments – for me to be a witness to so many boys receiving their Baptism, First Eucharist or Confirmation has been very special.

The second pillar that we subscribe to is that of seeking academic excellence. As I have told the boys throughout the year academic excellence is not restricted to the student who achieves the top mark in the class but rather it is an attitude where each student will not accept anything less than his best efforts, be that in his class-work, homework or assessments. Certainly, many individual students continue to make themselves, their families and the College proud with outstanding results

here, sport is certainly a vehicle that we, at Trinity College, use to develop each student more fully. Whilst I congratulate the many First teams that were successful this year I hold great admiration for students that represent our school at any level. It is always strongly argued that a team is only as good as its reserves and, therefore, it is through all our students’ efforts that we have such strong teams in so many sports. Part of the culture of sport that we have at the school is a willingness to be enthusiastic spectators – whilst this is seen every weekend it was especially evident in events like the Swimming, Athletics and Head of the River.

These four pillars work together to form the education that we refer to as a Trinity Education and I believe that it is when students are fully involved in each of these areas that they will graduate as well-rounded young men.

Principal Mr Ivan Banks accepts the Tregonning Cup from Swimming Team Captain Corey McIntosh

As I look back over my first twelve months I have been particularly impressed by a number of different aspects of the College. Education at Trinity College is a partnership that involves the students, the parents and the staff, and I would like to take a moment to acknowledge each of these groups.

Firstly the young men that attend the College – our students are a fantastic group of young men. They are most welcoming and genuinely care for one another.

They actively look for opportunities to share their talents with the community. Their generous involvement in Christian Service programs and many other school activities is inspirational. I sincerely believe that many of our students try to truly live out the maxim of being “Men for Others”.

Principal Mr Ivan Banks accepts the Darlot Cup

Secondly, the parents of the College – I believe that as a College we are blessed with what I would like to refer to as a Culture of Involvement. The value of having such extensive support from a large number of parents must never be underestimated. Trinity parents are involved in so many ways including the Board and their subcommittees, the Parent Council, the College

Principal’s Address Administration

Chair of Board Mrs Leanne O’Dea, Principal Mr Ivan Banks, President of College Auxiliary Mrs Martina Stroud and Guest Speaker Mr Vince Garreffa at the College Auxiliary Morning Tea

Auxiliary, the Spring Fair Committee, Friends of Music, Friends of Football, Friends of Rowing and countless volunteers who assist in the canteen, classrooms and whenever an appeal goes out. This year’s Spring Fair was just one of many ways that our community came together to provide service to the College, thanks go to everyone involved but especially Mrs Lina Salomone whose tireless efforts leading up to and on this day were truly inspirational. The other parent that I would like to acknowledge is Mrs Leanne O’Dea. This year Leanne retires after serving on the College Board for the last 10 years, accepting the role as Chair 5 years ago. In her time as Board Member and Chair of the Trinity College Board she has brought a huge passion for the life of the College and the total Edmund Rice

Network to bear on Board discussions. She has guided the College through some extremely difficult times in its history. The majority of people who have been associated with the College will have absolutely no idea of the time she has committed to the College or the burdens that she so courageously carried in her time as Board Chair. I, on behalf of the College, thank Leanne.

The other important support that is invaluable to the College is your role as parents – making sure that your son is dressed well, that he is prepared for the school day, that he does his homework, is dropped off and picked up from various College events – some of which are at ungodly hours of the morning. I thank each and every one of you for this involvement and support.

Thirdly our staff – I am constantly in awe with the number of opportunities that our staff are prepared to initiate for the students of the College. Many of the opportunities occur during weekends and over the holidays when our staff should be with their own families. Some, more foolhardy than I, may question their sanity but their efforts and dedication must never be taken for granted. I, on behalf of every student that has the pleasure of attending the College, thank the staff for their unending generosity and professionalism.

A number of staff leave us at the end of 2007 to begin new chapters of their lives – I pray that they look back on their time here with great memories.

And finally I thank the Trinity College community for the welcome that I and my family have received. It is always hard moving into a new community but I know that the generous spirit that Eileen, Patrick and I have been received has made this easier. I look forward to continuing the journey with you in 2008.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP:

A t

the beginning of the year the Board welcomed new members, Ms Joanna Browne, Mr Chris Sutherland and Mr John Bormolini. On behalf of the Trinity community I would like to thank these talented Mrs Leanne O’Dea Board Chair 2007 people for volunteering their time and expertise to the College for the term of their appointment.

At the Board formation weekend held in March, we reluctantly received the resignation of Mr Darren Taggart. On behalf of the Board and the school community I would like to thank Darren for his time on the Board and I know that his involvement with TOBA will mean that we can work very closely to ensure the continued connection. The terms of reference for TOBA states that it is a friend raising and fund raising body within the College and I know that Darren and all TOBA members are very aware of the great work that can be done when everyone pulls together.

It was during this formation weekend that the Board explored many major issues facing the College. One of these was the Future Capital Development Requirements for Trinity.

As you are aware, in previous years the Board had identified the need for a major upgrade to our Music Facilities and the Board had not lost touch with this issue. However, due to a decision by the Catholic Education Office to include Year 7 in the secondary school campuses, the Board faced this decision and the ramifications of its implementation. It was recommended by all members of the Board that a sub-committee be formed to explore the ramifications of this mandate.

Hopefully most of you are very aware of the process that followed – at times it was not a very pleasant experience, however the Board, and the governing body – The Province Leadership Team continued to support the process to ensure that a well researched and sound recommendation would be the result of this process. One of the overwhelming issues identified was the amazing generosity of our Old Boys Association and their potential willingness to put forward strong financial support for further capital development of the College. The Board applauded this level of support and has recommended pursuing this financial opportunity with much vigor. I am delighted to know that the College will benefit greatly from this continued generosity. Full details of the process and the recommendations of the sub-committee can be found on the College website. I urge all parents and community members to spend time reading this worthwhile document.

SUB COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD: The various sub-committees have an amazing membership of dedicated volunteers with various areas of expertise. These people continue to work tirelessly and sometimes without thanks throughout the year – and so on behalf of the Board I say thanks to each and every one of you.

1. BUILDING AND GROUNDS: Under the Chair of Mrs. Robyn Jennison this committee was set an agenda of tasks for 2007. A report was commissioned to establish the condition of all buildings within the campus, including Waterford and Camp Kelly. This document now gives the Board a detailed plan of the work that needs to be done. The next phase will be to cost and prioritize all future refurbishment, renovation and development of infrastructure.

These included the refurbishment of the Chapel – a smaller committee was formed to closely co-ordinate this project.

The refurbishment of Gibney Hall – Much needed air conditioning is now operational, along with some minor cosmetic refurbishment items. This project continues into 2008 and I thank everyone who has financially contributed to these projects, and ask that you continue to be supportive with the ongoing refurbishment.

The Redevelopment of the East Perth Region – As part of the region that is undergoing major redevelopment, it is important for Trinity to remain proactive and constructive in the opportunities that may present themselves during the redevelopment of this region. We have a strong committee working very carefully to ensure a successful outcome for the College. Much work is being done on short and long term plans involving the College and the surrounding neighbours. The WACA and the Trotting Association have presented their visions for their future developments. Trinity is now in the process of developing our master plan that maximizes opportunities as well as trying to minimize the possible negative effects of such outside developments.

2. MARKETING COMMITTEE: Under the Chair of a new Board member, Mrs Joanna Brown, this committee has been working to establish a format of maintaining contact with all families, past, present and future to keep them informed of the opportunities that are available to support the College.

It is hoped that this document will be introduced in 2008. Again I say thank you to this committee for its ongoing work in seeking ways to promote the College near and far, working closely with our Community Relations Officer, Ms Sandra Doick and our TOBA

College Board Administration

Executive Representative Mr Les Conceicao. These relationships need to be strong and positive for the outcome to be of benefit to the College.

3. FOUNDATION COMMITTEE: Under the chair of Mr Mark Mony De Kerloy this committee has established the Trinity College Foundation. This has been a project requiring much research and attention to detail, the diligence of the committee chairman has paid off. There will be an opportunity for all within our College community to be involved in the success of this foundation. Stay tuned for further developments in 2008.

Once this Foundation is well established it will provide a sound financial base for the College for future borrowings for Capital Development Projects. The base capital will always be protected but the earnings generated will be very beneficial in the years ahead.

4. FINANCE COMMITTEE: Under the chair of Mr Wayne Zekulich this committee has faced numerous challenges this past year, but due to the work of this small group of dedicated people we are now in a position to move forward with an increased sense of financial security and a good direction for future capital projects. The financial realities of all the above mentioned developments will have the immediate effect on school fees and charges. However this committee and the Board remain acutely aware of our ethos and our current and future clientele and will

8

continue to pay close attention to the effects of further financial imposts on all Trinity families.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS – PROVINCE NEWS 2007 was a year marked with amazing milestones. One such occasion was the Function held at Burswood Resort Ballroom in September. It saw a wonderful celebration of the live’s of Christian Brothers in the Holy Spirit Province of Western Australia and South Australia and the gifts that they as a group have given to education – the focus of the celebration was on Western Australia. Celebrations were also held in South Australia along a similar format. It was an opportunity to thank this amazing group of men for the incredible work they have done since the arrival of their founding brothers in Western Australia in 1864. Another amazing historical event saw the establishment of a new province of Brotherhood – the Oceania Province – encompassing Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Timor and Australia. This new chapter sees our Brothers embarking upon new ministries in these countries whilst remaining true to their founder’s original goals.

The Governance of all educational institutions currently overseen by the five provinces within Australia will now be coordinated and run by a newly established governing body – Edmund Rice Education Australia – EREA. The 38 schools that are part of this new body will continue to operate in accordance with The Charter and Board Constitutions – so whilst there is change, the fundamentals of providing a wonderful education for all in the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice will continue.

NEW CHAIRMAN I am delighted to announce formally that Mr Wayne Bowen, a past pupil of Trinity College and a past parent (son Matthew 2007), has accepted the role of Chair of Trinity College Board. On behalf of the Board, leadership team, and the school community I wish Wayne all the very best in this new position. I know from experience that he will be empowered by the level of support, friendship and acknowledgement, and I am confident that under Wayne’s leadership the College Board and the community will move forward with great enthusiasm and continued success.

10 years. I have enjoyed my role as Board member and Chair and will treasure the friendships formed and the experience gained from such an opportunity.

Finally I would like to thank all members of the Board who have shared the Board table with me over the past

Mrs Leanne O’Dea Board Chair 2007

Trinity College will remain close to my heart and I will leave with a sense of sadness but also of pride at being a small part of an amazing, vibrant and inclusive community. I know that what makes Trinity College the remarkable school that it is will continue to grow and flourish. Thank you.

Annual 2007 PSA Sport Photograph 2007 has been an amazing year for Trinity College.

Although there have been many significant achievements in all areas during the year, special mention must be made of our success in the PSA sporting arena. This year has been our most successful year ever, winning eight trophies out of a possible fifteen and giving the strongest all-round performance by an individual school in the history of the PSA competition. This is certainly a year to remember and to that end a photograph of successful Trinity Summer and Winter PSA Sport Teams with trophies was taken to commemorate this historic event. So that you can share this historic moment a special fold-out photograph featuring the Summer and Winter PSA Sport Teams is included in the back of this Annual.

Strive Manfully Another ‘first” for Trinity College was the publishing of the book Strive Manfully A History of CBC Perth and Trinity College 1894 – 2003. The College Board had commissioned Trinity College’s first lay Principal, Tony Curtis (1994 – 2003), to write the history of CBC Perth and Trinity College. This is a task he has been engaged in since his retirement. After three years of intensive research and writing, the book was launched at a Champagne Sundowner in Gibney Hall on Sunday 16 September 2007. Bidding in the Auction was keen between the 200 invited guests for five limited edition copies of Strive Manfully. During the official ceremony Br Tony Kelly (the first Principal of Trinity College) presented the first book printed to Leanne O’Dea. This leather

bound edition is numbered in gold and signed by the first five Principals of Trinity and will be kept in the Trinity archives as a record of this momentous occasion.

Strive Manfully is a fascinating walk through the rich tapestry forming the heritage of Trinity College. In honor of this symbolic event the cover of the 2007 Annual mirrors the cover of Strive Manfully. The montage of photographs is a unique blend of old and new, symbolic of the ever present influence of our heritage in current life at Trinity College. Copies of Strive Manfully can be ordered through the Trinity Online Store at www.trinity. wa.edu.au/community/online store/merchandise.

Weekly Newsletter The introduction of the electronic Newsletter has been an outstanding success. Many parents have commented that they enjoy receiving the Newsletter this way especially with the added benefit of being able to receive it at multiple e-mail addresses. It is certainly proving to be a quick and cost efficient way of distributing the Weekly Newsletter. Please help us to keep your details up-to-date by sending any change of address details to doick.sandra@trinity.wa.edu.au. I would like to thank all Trinity staff and parents for their outstanding support during the year and look forward to more advances in communication in 2008.

Refurbishment Program A review of our property led us to establish a refurbishment program. The first project was the installation of air conditioning units into Gibney Hall; this has been very well received. The Chapel pews and accessories were upgraded and multi media units were installed. Over the Christmas period it is planned to upgrade the Sacristy, parquetry flooring and thoroughly clean the inside of the Chapel. New landscaping will be completed around the Chapel and a new memorial garden will be established.

The “B” block classrooms will be refurbished and Waterford grounds and new roadway will be completed.

hen students leave Trinity most leave with positive feelings. Some will leave with mixed feelings.

Some will be glad to walk out the gate for the last time.

Trinity will definitely leave its impact. The people who make up Trinity – Principal, Teachers, Support Staff, all impact on students. Students also impact on staff. Not only school days but the whole of life is about relationships. That is why the pivotal moments of our journey, birth, marriage, death are all very much relational events.

W

As a “Preacher Man” I take my cue from Jesus on how to foster relations. He was asked about the big ticket items in religion. His answer was direct and blunt. Love God, love your neighbour. That answer is a challenge for me and a charter for my work. My life must be about these two great realities and my task at Trinity is to make these challenges realistic and pressing for students and staff.

Nothing will ever capture the attention or energy of anybody unless they are convinced of its value and urgency. The task is not to bully or command people to carry out these tasks.

Such moral or physical pressure only persists as long as the person in charge remains in charge. Such force

does not change the heart or mindset of the other. The task is to walk together with them as they try to discover the meaning and challenge of life. I think I have the answer. They may or may not have the answer. Like Jesus it is my job to take people where they are at. The Gospels give us vivid pictures of his encounters with people of different ages, gender, religions and backgrounds. The important thing was the meeting and establishment of relationship.

When this relationship and contact with Jesus becomes ongoing we call it prayer. When this relationship strives to find more about Jesus we delve into the scripture. When we struggle to energise our efforts we find strength in the Eucharist where Jesus continues to give his life for us. When we wish to expand our horizons we think of the blood of Christ poured out for us and for all. This pushes us to think outside our comfort zone and become “Men For Others”. Walking with the community of Trinity on this journey of relationships with God and others is a privilege I have as Chaplain.

Parent School Partnership Initiatives Pastoral

Enrolments

Mr John Jacky Indigenous Student Liaison

Indigenous students make up approximately 3% of our College student population, possibly the largest student population of any PSA school in WA. The 3% is maintained through an annual intake of approximately seven students into Year 8 each year.

Staff The educational and pastoral support provided to the Indigenous students comes from every corner of the College, including the two specialist Indigenous staff.

Mr Derek Hunter and I have had the privilege to be involved in the many facets of College life from providing support in the classroom to student excursions and Outdoor Education camps. We have had the flexibility in our roles not just to support the Indigenous students and families but to enjoy a similar role within the wider student population.

PSPI The Aboriginal Parent Schools Partnership Initiatives Committee (PSPI) continues their support by securing supplementary funding from the Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) to ensure the continuity of qualified tutors at the after school Homework Classes. The after school Homework Classes (HWC) is currently in its sixth year of operation

18

and provides support to all students keen to access the program.

The annual UWA Year 8 Discovery Day excursion as well as the Reconciliation Assembly are other projects that will continue to receive PSPI support.

Involvement The Indigenous Student Liaison Department has been privileged to share in a number of achievements and celebrations over the years. For instance, the past six years has seen Indigenous enrolments double with a high percentage of students going on to complete their Year 12 graduation and becoming members of the Trinity Old Boys Association; this is something special.

The way the College attracts Indigenous guest speakers, with many being Trinity Old Boys who have gone on to achieve their goals, is always a highlight.

Especially when men like Trinity Old Boy and Class of 1984 member Mr Kevin Brahim, State Manager of the

Parent School Partnership Initiatives Pastoral

Commonwealth Department of Education Science and Training, addressed our 2007 NAIDOC Assembly; it shows our current cohort that College success with Indigenous boys’ education is evident.

We also continue to celebrate the many achievements in sport and in the classroom with boys being acknowledged with end of year Speech Night awards, in dance with boys representing GIG and in music – particularly someone like John Robert Gallagher who began his Classical guitar lessons in Year 8 and is a current member of the Senior School Guitar Ensemble.

Then in consecutive years (2006 and 2007) two Indigenous students have achieved student Prefect positions. All this says our Indigenous students are accessing the wide range of curriculum areas on offer, are making the most of their opportunities and are achieving well.

Another extension to our College reconciliation process is the recent introduction of an immersion to the Kimberley. The immersion started in Broome and flowed on to the remote destination of Indigenous communities in the Dampier Peninsular. The immersion involved the Indigenous Student Liaison Department, the passionate drive of Mrs Marya Stewart and our Campus Ministry in implementing the inaugural Kimberley Immersion. In the College’s magazine Trinity News (Winter 2007 edition) there is an article on the immersion by Mrs Stewart for those who wish to know a bit more. The three week immersion planning began in

2005 via the Indigenous Liaison Department and our Campus Ministry and involving the Broome Catholic Diocese Office, local schools, CEO Broome, Indigenous organisations and communities before it took place in June this year. With all the planning aside, to finally participate in the inaugural immersion with Mrs Stewart and three of our non-Indigenous Year 11 students, Ian Chia, Ben Tomasi and Christian Ruggiero was something extra special. We immediately felt that this immersion is going to be a worthwhile program to add to the Trinity College calendar.

Speech Night Once again a proud moment for all of us as Year 12 student David Michael delivered The Acknowledgement to Country in Nyungar Language. We congratulate David and also Speech Night award winner Thomas Betts for his Year 8 Merit Award in Mathematics and Callum Morich for his appointment as a student Prefect for 2008.

Farewell Class of 2007 We congratulate and farewell Damon Guerinoni, Steven McGuire, David Michael, Daniel Mills and Joshua Kitaura who are members of the Class of 2007. They have made an outstanding contribution to the College and we wish them every success for the future Mr John Jacky Indigenous Student Liaison

Trinity Old Boys’ Association TOBA

Mr Darren Taggart TOBA President

007 for TOBA has been a very productive year and the association continues to grow from strength to strength. Since the establishment of the TOBA website www.toba.net.au in 2006 members have been able to keep up to date with forthcoming events, and the website has allowed TOBA to communicate more effectively with its members.

Among the leaving Year 12s TOBA membership seems to be a major priority. From the graduating Class of 2007 there was a 99% acceptance rate of TOBA membership. These young men, who want to maintain a connection to Trinity after they have left school, know that through TOBA, they will always be part of the wider Trinity College community. Their membership gives them the opportunity to tap into a wealth of support, guidance, advice and lifelong friendships.

In 2007 a subsidiary to TOBA was formed called TopA. The Trinity Old Parents Affiliate, under the presidency of Mr Guy Grant, has been set up for parents who are not old boys, but who through their sons’ years at Trinity, have come to appreciate the passion and the ethos of the College. TOBA recognises the major role played in the daily life of the College by these parents and through TopA they can continue their involvement and maintain friendships made during their sons’ education.

20

Another community building initiative of TOBA during 2007 was the compiling of a combined Trinity College/ TOBA Business Directory. The idea behind this was to encourage the wider Trinity community to support each other in the community’s various spheres of business.

The booklet for 2007 was distributed to over 5,000 Old Boys and current Trinity families. The 2008 copy is already in its planning stages with the hope that more and more businesses within the Trinity College community will subscribe to it.

This year TOBA in association with Trinity Archives also launched its inaugural calendar for 2008 at the Trinity Art Show on Friday 19th October. The calendar included some never before seen archival photos, and has all the major College sporting and TOBA events highlighted for 2008.

Aside from these initiatives TOBA has had functions almost monthly where Trinity Old Boys came together to either socialise among themselves or as part of the wider Trinity community. There were sundowners and a luncheon with the Old Aquinians; of course sport had a role with the annual golf day and the TOBA sports day.

A breakfast was held before Head of the River and the Trinity Sunday Mass was very well attended with present students, Old Boys, Trinity staff and their families all gathered together in prayer.

Trinity Old Boys’ Association TOBA

Without doubt the most popular TOBA event of the year was The TOBA Art Exhibition which has become one of the major social events in the TOBA calendar. This year the exhibition which was held on the same weekend as the Trinity Springtime Fair was opened by Federal Liberal MP and Trinity Old Boy Michael Keenan. This year 130 artists displayed their work and on the opening night over 200 people were treated to the culinary delights of renowned chef Iain Lawless as they admired the art on display.

2007 saw Trinity College launch the book Strive Manfully A History of CBC Perth and Trinity College 1894 – 2003 written by former Principal and Old Boy Mr Tony Curtis. This marvellous publication gives a detailed but extremely readable account of the College’s history. As TOBA President I was particularly proud to read of the extensive involvement of Old Boys throughout the College’s history.

As always Trinity Old Boys are achieving and doing great things locally and further afield; Damian Beale Class of ’95 deserves a particular mention. In August Damian and his wife Sarah headed off to Papua New Guinea for two years volunteer work. They are working with Callan Health Services, a disability service provider set up by the Christian Brothers, and they will be involved in setting up a health care programme.

As TOBA President it gives me great pride to see the constructive and selfless contribution our members make to society. I congratulate Trinity’s Class of 2007 on their graduation from Trinity College and welcome them as new members of TOBA. I am sure that their chosen pathways were ensconced during their days at Trinity and Trinity’s tradition and ethos of turning out young men in service of others ensures that in some small way the world is a better place.

TOBA’s achievements in 2007 would not have been possible without the wonderful work of our Executive Officer Ms Anna Gingell and without the support of the TOBA Executive. Anna’s diligence and professionalism in conjunction with the Executive has allowed the association to grow and in 2008 we all look forward to continuing to serve the interests of the Old Boys of Trinity College.

Canteen T

he Canteen has struggled this year, as many volunteer based units do, with more and more Mums returning to the workforce so our need for volunteers in the Canteen has increased. To all the Mums and Dads who answered the call to help, our heartfelt thanks. Friday is always the busiest day and it is also the day that many of our volunteers only do once per term so we appreciate greatly the help we are given.

This year we are losing quite a lot of Mums whose boys have finally finished Year 12 – some of these Mums have been here forever, or so they tell me! – and all these Mums will need to be replaced. We are looking forward to meeting the new Mums who will take over from our leaving Year 12 Mums – we have told them ‘if you leave you MUST get a replacement’, but it’s lots of fun and we have lots of laughs so please come and join in – even for a few hours.

n Sunday, 21 October we held the College Springtime Fair. What a wonderful community building and fundraising event for Trinity.

I take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, especially those who took on a coordinating role on one of the stalls. A special thanks must be extended to Mrs Lina Salomone who was the overall Fair Coordinator.

Lina put in innumerable hours, solved hundreds of problems, addressed lots of different groups and remained smiling and unflappable through the entire experience. On behalf of the entire College community we thank Lina for her efforts. We were delighted to raise the sum of $65,000 which will be used to provide multimedia equipment throughout the College.

ith my impending resignation as President of the College Auxiliary a decision was made towards the end of 2006 to move the AGM and election of office bearers to mid 2007. This allowed for more continuity in coordinating numerous events, especially given the hectic nature of first term and the appointment of our new Principal, Mr Ivan Banks. The AGM saw the election of Martina Stroud to the position of President and Sharon Maher as Vice President. Lee Loughnan and Kathryn Taggart graciously accepted re-election to their positions of Secretary and Treasurer respectively, with Annemarie Harris taking on the role of Vice President for the Junior School.

The New Parents Morning Tea, held on the first day of the school year, was once again well attended giving new parents the opportunity to meet each other. The Prefect’s Investiture ran smoothly, though the staffroom was a little cramped. It is a wonderful way to honour the new Prefects and their parents. Along with the Parent Information evenings, it was a very busy beginning to the year, and things ran smoothly only with the help of our volunteers.

with this, the Auxiliary conducted an Art Competition in the Junior School for illustrations for each section of the book.

The Morning Tea was highly successful with approximately 250 people attending.

With funds raised last year the Auxiliary have made the decision to contribute towards the new reading amphitheatre in the Junior School after the costs of producing the cookbook have been met.

Speech Night – Valedictory Address Speech Night

G

ood evening Mr Banks, special guests, ladies and gentlemen, and my fellow students.

On the eve of closing an important chapter of our lives, it is only now that one realises the magnitude of the imprint that Trinity has Nicholas Barbas left upon us, the class of Head Prefect 2007. We leave as men of faith, men of fortitude, and most especially, men for one another. Instilled within us now is an intangible spirit and at its core is the notion of serving others; standing in solidarity with our fellow human beings in order to make a difference in whatever field of life the future holds for us.

To commence I would like to tell of a first-hand experience that embodies the very essence of what being at Trinity is all about.

It was a cold mid-winter night in Kolkota, India and at 11 o’clock three of us joined Jim McGuiness, a former Trinity staff member, to hand out blankets and clothing to the homeless at the nearby train station. After an hour of work we approached a young man with cerebral palsy. He sat timid and helpless on the side of the track as several people walking past threw money at him as if he were some kind of sub-species. He was covered only with a singlet and a tattered pair of shorts, and had a large gash in his leg. After contemplation, Jim decided that this man needed to be taken back home

28

with us, and then to one of Mother Teresa’s institutes to be properly cared for. As one of my fellow pilgrims propped the man up and began walking through the station, two of us organised a rickshaw to take him back to the school where we were staying and we set up a bed for him just outside our dorm. Something I’ll never forget was the smile of this destitute man. He had been given shelter, a comfortable bed and, most importantly, altruistic love and compassion that defines the Trinity Spirit.

The benevolent manner in which I saw my mates beside me treat this man is a reflection of Trinity’s legacy, that in life we are all challenged to serve others.

And this does not have to be on a pilgrimage to India; it can be much closer. In our families, in our friendships, and at school, we are all called to work as one, for one another; to extend a hand to those left out, to those left behind. This is what distinguishes Trinity’s distinct culture and communal life.

Embedded in the 200-year-old tradition of Trinity is the strong ethos of Edmund Rice, a man whose unwavering dedication and selflessness to the disadvantaged, left a powerful example for us all. In our quest to emulate everything he stood for, we truly have become men of the gospel, and men for one another.

At an impressionable age, young Trinity men served the poor in India on the 8th Trinity Pilgrimage Through India, worked with remote Indigenous communities on the Kimberly Immersion experience, served each other on the spiritual Kairos Retreats and were involved in a myriad of other Christian service experiences such as

Speech Night – Valedictory Address Speech Night

the Eddy Rice Outreach programs, Amnesty International and the Red Cross Soup Patrol. Through the resilience and faith we gained in our service, we have become capable of anything we set our minds to – capable of overcoming any challenge or adversity that lies on the road ahead.

It is this resilience and faith that has enabled Trinity to excel in so many arenas this year, beginning with an inspiring victory at the swimming inters – something never before achieved in Trinity’s long history. From the incredible efforts of the rowers taking out both the Head of the River and Hamer Cup, to victories in the respective basketball, cricket, football, soccer and cross-country competitions, we were truly a force to be reckoned with and for the fourth consecutive year we collected the esteemed Zenith Award for the most outstanding school at the Performing Arts Festival.

While these achievements deserve the highest accolades, we must never forget the importance of how we respond in the wake of our success. Unless we respond by becoming better people, these victories are hollow. Whenever we fell short this year, our heads remained high, dignified in defeat, and we held the knowledge that we gave our all to the cause, regardless of the result.

This engulfing spirit is also imbued in those who have helped us through the Trinity experience – never once have we been alone on this remarkable journey. We only have to look toward the example set by our parents and our teachers to see serving others in action.

The selflessness of the staff and their belief in us is a defining characteristic of Trinity. If any of us needed extra help, it is a certainty that you would stay behind and assist us. Your efforts this year have always gone beyond the confines of a classroom, so thank you.

To our parents, thank you dearly for giving us the opportunity to wear the distinctive three crowns and to experience Trinity Spirit. We are forever indebted to the sacrifices you have made for us. Sacrifices that have given us every opportunity to achieve our dreams and achieve the ultimate in our ambitions.

experience as a stepping-stone for the world beyond.

Also that we recognise our talents and use them to serve others in our everyday contact with people. For the most fortunate of students who still have years to come at Trinity, seize every opportunity and never hold back. Each one of you has the potential to be great, to be unique and to achieve the extraordinary. The great Nelson Mandela said “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure… it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us”. There is a light that flickers in each of us; the challenge is to find that light and make it shine. So get involved in as many aspects of school life as possible – make the most of what God has given you.

No stronger did I see the Trinity Spirit than in the friendships of my fellow Year 12s. Within us now lies an unbreakable bond, adhered by the mateship and brotherhood of our experiences. To my classmates, thank you for the unforgettable memories, for the friendships forged and for always being there for one another. In particular I would like to thank Mark Luca, the deputy, and the prefects for their loyalty and service to Trinity this year.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for us; Mother Teresa spent her entire life serving the poorest of the poor in India; and Oscar Romero gave his life to the downtrodden of El Salvador. Each of these people had a catalytic effect on all around them. Similarly, Trinity calls us to serve others in the spirit and compassion manifested within each of these powerful examples. What lies behind us and before us are small matters compared with what lies within us – a spirit that drives a desire to serve one another and to do our very best at whatever life throws our way. In the end, we will be judged only on what we do with the gifts we have been given.

Edmund Rice provided an opportunity for disadvantaged boys to fulfil their potential and Trinity College reaffirms his dream. With the incredible opportunities that are presented to us, it is our duty to use the Trinity

Head of Senior School Administration

I

am continually inspired by the enthusiasm that our senior students demonstrate for the wide variety of opportunities that are available at Trinity College.

The graduating Class of 2007 are no exception to this trend as they have made a significant and Mr Martin Tobin wholehearted contribution Head of Senior School to sport, the arts, Campus Ministry, and Liturgical and Sacramental events.

Senior School Council I take this opportunity to thank all members of the College’s Senior School Council and teaching staff for their efforts and cooperation throughout the year.

The Council continues to focus on the implementation of the newly developed Courses of Study for 2008 and beyond. The Council views the implementation of these courses as an opportunity for the College to provide a relevant and diverse curriculum that will meet our students’ needs next year and in the future. The collective experience of the members of the Senior Council and their diligence in ensuring that they are informed and engaged with the implementation and ongoing review of these courses, ensures that students and parents can be confident in its capacity to lead the Senior School through this process. Moreover, the Council continues to work towards ensuring that the College continues to be a leader in boys’ education through its pastoral and curriculum initiatives.

The development and implementation of an increased number of Vocational and Education (VET) certificate programs for 2008 and 2009 will ensure that our senior students are provided with the necessary skills and competencies to engage with training and work in a wider range of industries and enterprises.

coordinating the Visual and Performing Arts portfolio have put forward an excellent submission for the formation of a Trinity College drama club for the future.

I take this opportunity to thank all of the Prefects and the Class of 2008 for their support and encouragement during my first year in the role of Head of Senior School and I wish them the best of success in their future endeavours.

The process for the nomination and selection of the Prefects for 2007 commenced in Term Three and the response from the student body was most pleasing.

The Prefects were formally presented to the College community at Speech Night. Congratulations to Joshua Hicks (Head Prefect) and Matthew Cowie (Deputy Head Prefect) for their selection as senior leaders for 2008!

Heads of Year The College is most fortunate to have a dedicated team of Heads of Year in the Senior School to assist students with their academic and pastoral needs. Next year Mr John Montagu, Mr Barry McKenna and Mrs Eileen Lane will continue this work in Years 10, 11 and 12 respectively, and I thank them for their continued support and assistance throughout the year.

Closing Remarks World Youth Day 2008 presents a special opportunity for a number of our students and staff who will undertake a pilgrimage to Sydney culminating with World Youth Day 2008 celebrations and events with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in July of next year. This event has had a phenomenal effect on the lives of millions of young people since its inception. I encourage all members of our College community to continue to keep our pilgrims in their thoughts and prayers as they prepare for what will be a life shaping opportunity. We hope to return to our community renewed in our faith and inspired by the Holy Spirit!

Senior Leadership This year’s College Prefects led the student body with distinction in all pillars of the College. Moreover, they have been instrumental in the implementation of a revised model of leadership including the formation of student leadership portfolios that represent the diversity of activities at Trinity College: Faith Formation; Academic; Sport; Visual and Performing Arts, and Social. This model of student leadership has facilitated a more meaningful experience for our student leaders.

Examples of this include the participation of a number of this year’s senior leaders representing students’ interests and concerns on the Trinity College Career Development Council which has culminated with the initiation of a Career Carousel as part of future career education programs at Trinity. In addition senior leaders

n 28 October 2007 the Year 12 cohort, together with their parents and staff, celebrated their final school mass in Gibney Hall. Father Michael McMahon, the College Chaplain, was the celebrant.

The mass was followed by the Graduation Dinner at Mrs Eileen Lane Gloucester Park where the Head of Year 12 students demonstrated the cohesiveness and the camaraderie which had been evident all year.

and in the many orchestral and choral groups which performed at the College.

As leaders of the student body the Year 12s have shown that the Edmund Rice ethos is alive and well. Their enthusiasm and involvement in every aspect of College life has been contagious. They have been leaders on the sporting field, in cultural pursuits, in social events and in the religious life of the College.

All too quickly the Year 12 students were forced to look to the future. In Term Three future career paths had to be decided and, overnight, conversations were littered with such new terms as TER, TISC line, TAFE line and gap year.

O

The Year 12s can take with them many memories of their final year at Trinity. Their dedication and enthusiasm were evident when Trinity won both the Head of the River and the Hamer Cup. This was only the beginning. Trinity went on to win the Tregonning Cup for swimming, the Darlot Cup for cricket, the Blackwood Cup for basketball, the Lawe Davies Cup for soccer, the P M Moyes Trophy for cross country and the Alcock Cup for football. Each team was captained and cheered on to victory by Year 12 students and they would all agree that it was an unforgettable year for sporting achievements.

Special bonds were also forged on Kairos and Tabgha retreats, as Special Ministers of the Eucharist and as members of Cadre, Amnesty International and the Eddie Rice Outreach Program. Music, which features prominently in the life of the College, was yet another outlet where Year 12 students led. Representatives, far too numerous to name individually, were to be found in the Pipe Band

Despite their involvement in so many activities, the Year 12 students were determined that their social needs would be not be neglected. Obviously the Ball was the highlight of their social calendar. The theme was The Phantom of the Opera and Gibney Hall was transformed through the ingenuity and hard work of the Year 12 parents, ably lead by Marilyn Harries and Viola and John Barbas. On behalf of the Year 12s I would like to express my thanks to the parents who gave so unstintingly of their time. Gibney Hall looked spectacular and in the words of one student it was a magical night and one that they will not forget.

My thanks go to the Prefects for the work that has been accomplished this year. They have been an exceptional and enthusiastic group to work with. Special thanks must go to Nicholas Barbas, Head Prefect, and Mark Luca, Deputy Head Prefect, for their dedication and good humour in addressing the many onerous tasks that were placed on them.

I would also like to thank the teachers who had Year 12 students and in particular the Year 12 Pastoral Care teachers; their support, hard work and concern have been invaluable in the care and education of the Year 12 students.

To the Class of 2007, remember the friendships you have made and take with you the values that Trinity espouses.

I have every confidence that your enthusiasm and commitment will see you achieve your goals. May God be with you.

I

have had the pleasure of looking after the pastoral wellbeing of this cohort of young men since Year 9. It is one of the great positives of being involved in boys’ education; you can see the growth from boy to young man take place in such a dynamic and short space Mr John Montagu of time. To me this is at the Head of Year 11 core of what we do at Trinity.

It certainly is the attraction of working in an all boy school.

titles won in 2007. What a year. With the family taxi service to rowing at 5.30am and then honouring the various winter fixtures at a variety of venues, it is not just the boys who are time poor.

This group of young men have been the most talented I have encountered in many years; they seem to cover all bases. Academically they are very bright and I am sure a good number will push for the 400 Club in the TEE next year. Their performances in national maths and various science projects and debating and public speaking competitions reflects their outstanding potential. The musical talent and the performing arts are well supported by this group; many lads are involved in the various bands, choirs or ensembles.

With so many highly talented students to choose from the selection of the 2008 Prefects was a perplexing process for Mr Banks and the Executive. There are a number of very strong, confident and capable leaders who are very much their own person. They have already stamped their leadership qualities by being genuine “men for others”. 2008 has the potential to be a great year for the College with these young men leading from the front.

The lads certainly learn about time management when they enrol at Trinity; with this group being involved in all aspects of College life everyone wants a piece of their time. The athletic ability of the group is demonstrated by their major contribution to the cricket, rowing, swimming, football, soccer, cross country and basketball

This group of young men are also personable and social. Most are upfront and talk straight to you which is refreshing to experience from lads of this age. We have had many involved in community service activities.

Some have given up their summer holidays to help building projects in the Philippines. Father McMahon has been well received by the boys at our various Masses and his interaction with the boys who are struggling in the year group has been priceless.

It has been a pleasure being a part of their journey so far. I look forward to seeing what they can achieve next year.

Visit to the International Space School

O

n 13 July we set off on our journey to Houston, Texas, where we were to represent Trinity College and Australia at the International Space School 2007.

The International Space School is run by the International Space School Foundation which was founded in 1997 and has hosted an annual Summer School ever since.

The ISSF is staffed by volunteers from around the world and works closely with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other organisations to provide a unique insight into the aerospace industry in Houston.

This year, thirty-five students from countries including France, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, United States, Bolivia, New Zealand, India, Russia, Chilé and South Africa attended, providing a forum for many like-minded individuals and a marvellous opportunity to learn more about a variety of cultures.

The ISS program was hosted at the University of Houston Clearlake. On arrival we were asked to choose a team which we wished to participate in and interviewed to confirm our choices. The three teams this year were the Red team, which was responsible for getting to Mars and back, the Blue team, which was responsible for working on Mars, and the Green team which was responsible for the biological aspect of keeping the crew alive and healthy. Over the course of our two week stay we spent time working in our teams at the University planning a manned mission to Mars. During this time we received many excellent lectures on a

variety of topics, from space law to space suit design and were assisted by NASA engineers who mentored us while we worked.

In addition to our project work we were taken on a variety of excursions including a trip to the George Observatory, the University of Texas Medical Branch, the Museum of Natural Science where we successfully completed a Mars mission simulation at their Challenger Centre and to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Centre where we visited the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility and saw the awe-inspiring Saturn V rocket that is housed there.

We are both very appreciative of what was certainly a fantastic and life changing experience and would like to thank Trinity College, and in particular Mr Blake and Mr Cooper and our ISSF contact Deborah Flaniken, for providing us with the marvellous opportunity and organising our attendance. In addition, we would like to thank our host families, the mentors and lecturers, Geoff and Annette Mules the founders of the ISSF, and the program managers Chris and Clare Greenfield, and Tahir Merali, who made sure the day-to-day activities were a brilliant success.

007 has been a very successful time for our year group. Students have shown great maturity as they continued their journey of growing into young adults.

Many realised early in the year that they needed to find a balance in their lives.

It is this balance between Mr Barry McKenna schoolwork, home life, Head of Year 10 rest and play that can be challenging for most adolescents. There also comes the pressure of making the important decision of which subjects to choose for Year 11 which is an important decision for any 15 year old to make. I am happy to say that most were able to meet these demands and enjoyed doing so.

In Year 10 Faith Education continued to be a very positive experience. The core of this is the Religious Education program and the Year Group masses with the highlight being the Emmaus Retreat Program.

These were all conducted by Campus Ministry and the Faith Education Department. During our masses Faith Education was made much easier to understand with sermons given by Father McMahon who can relate to the students on a level they can understand and appreciate. Our boys realise that our faith is the main pillar upon which our College is built.

Academic excellence continued to be the focus of all our teachers and the group was always challenged to achieve their best. Many students did this in the fields of Society and Environment, Science, English and Maths and some went on to achieve high results in external competitions such as the State Mathematics Talent Quest and the Australian Mathematics Competition. Boys who took up the option of Visual Art, Design and Technology, Information and Communication Technology or Italian also achieved very high results. In

the area of music there were a large number of boys involved in ensembles, band or choir. Many of these boys were proud to be a part of the Catholic Schools’ Performing Arts Festival at which the College won the Zenith Award for the fourth consecutive year – a fitting reward for their efforts.

As well as music there was also the Performing Arts program which gave students the opportunity to display their talents in a performance at the College Speech Night. It also shows what great opportunities the College provides.

Sport has again been a major part of the lives of our Year 10s with the group contributing to the enormous success that the College has achieved. There are simply far too many performances to single out any individual but what impressed me was the amount of team spirit that developed within the year group as a result of this success. However I will especially mention the members of the PSA swimming team who won the PSA Interschool Carnival for the first time.

On the social scene Trinity and Mercedes held several functions together with a sports afternoon at Maylands Bowling Club and a Hollywood Theme night in Gibney Hall. These two events were a follow up from the Year 9 dancing lessons and both occasions were times of great fun and enjoyment.

In conclusion I would like to thank the Year 10 Pastoral Care Group teachers for their pastoral care of the students. I would also like to thank each of the student representatives for assisting their classes in helping out with the social events and fundraising events. 2008 promises to be a great year for this group and I look forward to again being their Head of Year. I know our students will continue to achieve great success and in the Edmund Rice spirit be “men for others”.

Middle School

Head of Middle School Middle School

uring 2007 Trinity’s Middle School has continued its strong focus on relationships. Where possible, students are being taught by their Pastoral Care teacher for a subject and Heads of Year 8 and 9 have guided their students with wisdom and care for each individual.

This focus on relationships Mrs Kerrie Fraser Head of Middle School has also extended to staff members with a high level of communication between members of the Middle School Council and a continued fostering of the link between Middle and Junior School. Parents are important members of the Trinity Community and great effort has been made to keep communication between home and school as a priority.

D

Faith Development Faith Development is one of the guiding pillars of the College and continues to flourish in the Middle School thanks to the commitment of Father McMahon, members of Campus Ministry and the Religious Education team. The Year 8 students once again experienced the powerful Quest Retreat and made connections with their Year 11 ‘older brothers’. The Year 9 Galilee Retreat was also very successful where students are challenged to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Year level masses occurred each term and a great deal of effort was made by Mr Gerard Theseira and Mrs Colleen Wheeler to ensure that students were well-prepared for these celebrations. A highlight of the year for many students is their involvement with Christian Service. This provides them with the opportunity to express their faith through action. The Year 8 focus is on family and this is extended to the broader community in Year 9.

Academic Excellence Promoting academic excellence is a major aim of the College and a number of teams are working to improve what is done to assist students achieve their potential. In Year 8 Science and Mathematics some classes moved at an accelerated pace through the course work and devoted time each week to extension activities with a focus on problem solving. English, by its very nature, allows for each student to work at the level appropriate for them.

Society and Environment is also very challenging enabling students to respond at different levels on the same task.

There has been planning for some cross-curricular links between English and Society and Environment for 2008 and this will extend students and assist them to make connections between the learning areas. This focus on extending students will continue throughout Middle School in 2008 and further development of programs will occur.

64

Students often struggle with organising their homework and study program. To assist students with this challenge all Year 8 students were provided with a Study Planner and support booklet at the start of the year. Teachers make reference to this resource and it has been followed up in Pastoral Care lessons and Year 8 assemblies. The Planner can be used by these students next year because it is laminated and information can be erased.

The transition between Junior and Senior School continues to be an area of importance. Planning has begun to assist with the movement of Year 7 students from Junior to Middle School.

The Library has continued to foster the development of literacy with Ms Luciana Cavallaro’s very successful reading program for Middle School students. Mrs Nicole Davey has also contributed to the literacy focus with competitions encouraging students to submit book reviews and also to write poetry. The College is committed to improving students’ literacy skills and the work done by the Library staff supports this aim.

Pastoral Care Caring for each student as an individual is the aim of our Pastoral Care system at Trinity. Heads of School, Heads of Year, Pastoral Care teachers, Learning Area teachers, Father McMahon, the College counsellor and sport coaches work together to provide the best support possible for each student.

2007 has been the final year for data collection as part of our involvement in the Supportive Schools Project with its focus on transition to secondary school and bullying prevention.

Trinity’s Student Diary is another method used to support students. This is a vital means of communication between home and school and allows careful monitoring of students’ progress at the College.

Students have enjoyed many activities throughout the year that build their confidence and ability to socialise with others. The Year 9 dancing classes with Mercedes were very successful and Year 8 students enjoyed a picnic and social at the Morley Rollerdrome. All of these activities, combined with retreats, camps and excursions, help build social skills and acceptance of self.

Acknowledgements I would like to thank the many people who have not only shown a high level of commitment to the students but have also provided me with a lot of support. Mr Andrew Osnain, Head of Year 8 and Mr Bobby Emmanuel, Head of Year 9 have been excellent role models for their students and ensured that the boys are given the necessary assistance to focus on their study and to feel happy in a safe and caring environment. Both Heads of Year have been supported by dedicated Pastoral Care teachers who have provided the students with daily care. The Middle School Council has worked hard throughout the year to ensure that the curriculum and Pastoral Care needs of students are met. Mrs Teresa Greenfield continues to provide me with support in her quiet and efficient manner. I would also like to thank the many parents I have had contact with throughout the year for their support of the College.

It has been an eventful, busy year with careful nurturing of our Middle School students. I look forward to building on the good work done over the past years in 2008.

Mr Bobby Emmanuel Head of Year 9

he Year 9 students have completed an excellent year where they have participated to the fullest extent and contributed to the academic, sporting and spiritual components of the College. Trinity College offers a diverse range of activities that give students an opportunity to excel in areas beyond the classroom.

In terms of the College’s sporting life, this has been a very successful year indeed. Over the year, students have competed with great enthusiasm and proven themselves to be excellent sportsmen in both victory and the odd defeat. The boys have established a culture of participation to the highest extent and this is evident in the high regard that other schools have for Trinity College teams. The significant efforts of the Year 9 athletes contributed to a victory at the Swimming and a close finish in the Athletics Inters. The strong depth and competitive spirit in the rowing squads contributed to winning the Hamer Cup. For the first time the Middle School volleyball team will be touring to Melbourne for the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup in December 2007 to compete at national level.

Academically a culture of excellence has been maintained over the year. There are a number of opportunities for students to excel in activities outside the classroom. This year in the Australian Mathematics Competition Year 9 students won numerous awards and one prize, which are only given to the top ranked students. All Year 9 students participated in a Society & Environment excursion to the Supreme Court to investigate the inner workings of our legal system. Other activities worthy of mention are: our young scientists entering the WA Science & Engineering Challenge as well as the Rio Tinto Big Science Competition; the arguments flying as our brightest English students took on other colleges in the oratory art of debating; and Italian students investigating the varieties of cuisine on offer during their excursion to a fine Italian restaurant.

Spiritually, the Year 9s earnest participation in the whole school and year level masses was admirable. The Galilee Retreat celebrated the path that Jesus walked in a metaphorical sense by crossing the Swan River by boat and then walking back to the College. The boys are also to be commended for their willingness to participate in Un-Fair Day. The amount of effort put in by the Year 9

cohort to organise stalls, activities and help raise money for the poor in India was outstanding.

The highlight of our social calendar was the Trinity Mercedes ballroom dancing lessons. After much talk, teasing and trepidation, by the final lesson even the shyest, most reserved boy was seen to be crossing the floor with extreme confidence. It was remarked more than once by many staff that the Trinity boys are the ‘finest gentlemen’. A less formal occasion, but no less entertaining event, was the Penrhos River Cruise which saw approximately 50 boys socialise with the girls from Penrhos College on the Swan River. Once again the boys were extremely well behaved and had a thoroughly engaging evening.

In Term One all Pastoral Care Groups went through an election process and student representatives were chosen. The role of these students is to represent the opinions of their peers and assist in broader College activities. For the first time the student councillors were put in charge of running the Middle School assemblies and performed their roles in a very positive manner.

These councillors have the potential to be excellent leaders and I encourage them to seek out leadership roles in the Senior School next year. I thank the councillors for the positive leadership and support they have provided to their Pastoral Care Teachers and to me over the year.

In closing I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the Year 9 Pastoral Care Group teachers; Mrs Lea Wilson, Ms Kristen Campisi, Mr Mike Mueller, Mr Eric O’Sullivan, Mr Jerry Scott, Mr Andrew Stephens, Mrs Colleen Wheeler and Mr Jean-Marc Rousset. Their generosity, care for the boys and commitment to the College is unquestionable.

I appreciate all they have contributed to the development of the Year 9 boys over the school year.

ntering the Secondary School as a fresh faced Year 8 signifies the beginning of a new chapter in the life of a student. Foremost in the mind of each student is how to quickly adjust to the large number of unfamiliar daily routines, all the while attempting to keep their Mr Andrew Osnain heads above water as the Head of Year 8 busy tides of Trinity College roll on. Daily tasks such as carrying multiple textbooks and files, keeping uniforms in order and changing in under two minutes for sport are but a few of the challenges that a new Year 8 student faces at the commencement of the scholastic year.

The Year 8 class of 2007 have adjusted superbly to the aforementioned challenges. The boys quickly realised that the best course of action was to become organised and throw themselves wholeheartedly into the spiritual, academic, cultural and sporting pillars of the College. As a result the year cohort have learnt to become independent – particularly in the areas of organisation and developing the key competencies and skills necessary to help them achieve to the best of their ability. Boys developed friendships and a sense of belonging in the year group which will continue to grow as they become more familiar with the cohort over time.

Early in the year each Pastoral Care Group elected two student councillors. Each councillor has been at the forefront of student activities and providing positive leadership. I would like to thank them for their earnest contribution throughout the year and encourage other students to seek out leadership opportunities in the years to come.

For the first time in Trinity’s history the Quest Retreat replaced the Year 8 camp as the primary tool of establishing a sense of belonging and brotherhood at Trinity College. Over the long weekend more than sixty Year 11 students ‘adopted’ three Year 8 ‘little brothers’.

Throughout the weekend the boys were introduced to the notion of being part of a ‘brotherhood’. Students were challenged to aspire to greater heights throughout their time at Trinity. The Year 11 Peer Ministers became ‘older brothers’ for the Year 8s and hopefully aided in their assimilation into the Middle School.

YEAR 8 STUDENT COUNCIL

The annual three day camp continued to build upon the

foundations of the Quest Retreat. The camp was held at Camp Kelly, Dwellingup. The boys enjoyed activities such as rafting, hiking, boat building and camping in the great outdoors. This is the time for students to further forge friendships with their peers. One of the most important maxims of the College is to be a ‘man for others’. Over the three days the boys learnt that assisting in the wellbeing of their peers is in the best interests of the year group and the College as a whole.

Students were introduced early in the year to their counterparts at Mercedes College. As both groups will be working side by side over the upcoming years, the boys had an early opportunity to get to know the Mercedes girls over a lunchtime gathering in Wellington Square.

This certainly helped to ease the tension for their first major social outing – the Rollerdrome. Whilst the venue and ambience took a number of staff back to the 80s, the students relished the opportunity to socially engage with the Mercedes girls in a mature and positive way.

Another innovation to the year was the inaugural Super 7 Championship. Every member of each Pastoral Care Group was required to participate in one of five activities aimed at creating a climate of inclusiveness and cohesiveness amongst the year group. The activities included singing, spelling, four square, debating and a talent quest.

I would like to thank the seven Pastoral Care teachers for making 2007 a successful year for the students. Ms Medhavi Karu, Mr Nik Martinskis, Mr Russell Hinks, Mr Brendan Chapman, Mr Michael Slack-Smith, Mr Mark Dodd and Ms Corinna Eagling have provided guidance and support to students in a selfless way. Students do not often see how much time and effort the Pastoral Care teachers put into the year and I would certainly like to congratulate them on their work with the boys throughout 2007.

Junior School

Head of Junior School Junior School

n looking back on the events of 2007 I recall a number of significant decisions that will change and shape the Junior School in years to come. The most notable one is the change to the future structure of the College. This will necessitate a number of modifications to Mr Mark Hackett the Junior School over the Head of Junior School coming years; however, I am confident that these changes will enable the College to provide a more comprehensive education for all our students.

I

2007 saw the introduction in the Junior School of a literacy initiative known as RAISe (Raising Achievement In Schools). Ms Ricki Boe has played a pivotal role in implementing this new programme and the results have been very positive. RAISe is an initiative of the Catholic Education Office of Western Australia and its focus is to increase student achievement by improving current practices and working towards enhancing school and classroom structures. We have noted some very pleasing results in the literacy levels of the students and, as the program progresses into a second year, further improvements should be seen, not only in literacy, but across all learning areas.

Faith Education underpins all programs in the Junior School. Eucharistic celebrations, led by different classes on alternate weeks, provide an opportunity for the Junior School to come together and pray. Father Michael

80

McMahon provides the spiritual nourishment and has a special gift in the way he relates gospel values to our students.

Highlighting our liturgical calendar has been our Sacramental celebrations. The First Holy Communion Mass was a very meaningful occasion for both the first communicants and their families. Our Confirmation candidates made us all very proud in the manner in which they prepared for and received the Sacrament.

We are fortunate to have supportive parents at the College as they play a very important role in enabling the Junior School to offer a greater diversity of programs. We are very appreciative of the parents who so generously offer their time and expertise assisting us in coaching roles, on camps and tours, excursions and in many other supporting roles at the College.

I would like to acknowledge the tremendous work done by the staff. The new curriculum programmes introduced this year have realised some very positive results and have challenged the staff to re-evaluate their current teaching practices in order to provide the best possible outcomes for students.

Finally, I would like to congratulate the Year 7 students on the outstanding year they have had. The leadership they have shown and the example they have set for the younger students has contributed greatly to the very positive tone that exists in the Junior School.

Year Seven Blue Year 7

“Mr & Masters 7 Blue 2007” The “Little guy” Jamie Andrawes is first on our list, Followed by Oskar Arnold the “Movie star” at number two.

Then the “Performer” Marcus Callus-Gannon is always hard to resist.

These first three of 7 Blue I will certainly miss.

Wilfred Cheung “the Professor” comes in at four, Connor Cribben “the Comedian” is next in the door.

Matthew Davies “the Sports star” is at six!

These three I must say make an unusual mix.

Then it’s James Dawson “the Doc”, with his PHD, Jordan De Leo a “Jet of a lad” and would never lie to me.

Robbie di Giovanni always “Bright and Sincere”, Patrick Di Nardo “Mr Showman and chatter”can be a pain in the EAR! Michael Duan “Mr Neatness” has talent to burn, Nick Erskine,“Mr Practical” is always first to help out and quick to learn.

Then of course comes Mac! That’s Mackenzie Fairchild to you!

He feels that “Animals” should not be in Zoos!

Aidan Hobbs “Mr Fairness” cares for others and always smiles.

Followed by “Mr Marathon” Oliver Hopkins who can run for miles.

Eliott Iustini an “Eagles fan” in flight is always well mannered and very polite.

Then it’s Louis the Jago with his great zest for life, He burns so brightly he can light up the night!

Beware of “BIG” Thomas of the Kopaczewskyj type, Dobby his nickname thinks he’s always right!

Another Matthew, this one from the Locantro file, Our assembly a hit thanks to his “Mr Magic style.”

Then comes Jayden of the Marciano clan, At solving science and technology he is “The Man!” I’d finish this poem and read it to the class, A little hand went up and when I asked, Marc Mather told me the poem was a bit stout!

I enquired as to why he felt, he simply said, “You missed me out!”

My mistake, and thanks for the clue, Yes Marc was part of Year 7 Blue too!

John – Paul Mondelo legend “Mr School and Performing Arts,” At the end of Year 7 he will surely pass.

Then Harley Orr “Mr Great all-rounder,” With a glint in his eye big hearted double pounder.

86

Adrian Pizzata is our Head Boy, “Mr serious” we call him then he gets annoyed.

Michael Potts, Great Spirit and is “Mr Campion King,” Henry Prior, “Mr Legend” at all but wishes Chanel would win.

Laurent Shervington “Mr Soccer Star” when he is rich from soccer, Will buy his old teacher a HSV new car?

Matthew Tallon like Connor is a “Mr Humorous Bloke,” Quick with his wit and loves to joke.

Ashley Teo “Mr Talent” with Science and Solar Boat design, His solar vessel was one of the first to the line.

“Mr Mad Scientist” is Luke Warlik, Team Grandad and Luke are always Slick!

Another Wellstead “Oh No!”….. but “Mr Taylor’s” O.K. The only boy who loses sports clothes three times in one day!

“Mr Artist and Funny man” is Adam Whitworth, Like Benny Hill he is the “Master of Mirth!”

Last on the list but certainly not least, Brandon Willington “Mr War and Peace.”

Brandon has many talents too and has been cruising on the Queen Mary II. We’ve done many things too many to share, A motley crew who always care.

7 Blue for us has been a great voyage and trip, With Captain Mr Maxfield at the helm of our ship!

They’re not a bad lot; sure could have been worse, But the page is full, time to end this verse.

Year Seven Green Year 7

hirty three boys and two teachers were in 7 Green this year, Mr Bell was our class teacher and Mr Chitty was with us on Fridays.

T

The Canberra Tour was an amazing experience. Although some boys were sick, we had a terrific time visiting Sydney, Parliament House, The War Memorial, Questacon, and our day trip to the snow. Special thanks to Miss Raguseo, Mr Hamer, Mr Chitty and those parents who attended the trip with us.

Term 1 We began first term by being allocated a peer from 4 Blue.

It was a lot of fun working Mr Gavin Bell with our peers. We showed Year 7 Green them around the school, got to know them, created a comic strip and did a lot of work together on bullying. A highlight of the Peer Mentor Program was our excursion to Hyde Park.

Our class work in Term 1 focused on Australian settlement, Australian History and Aboriginal Culture. We spent time investigating and researching the First Fleet, James Cook and the Stolen Generation.

Not only did we learn more about each other in first term, we learnt about Australia’s past.

Term 2 A major focus of Term 2 was preparing for Confirmation.

We attended a Home Program and were lucky enough to have Mr Dean organise a fantastic retreat to Dwellingup.

Many parents attended the retreat to ensure that it was successful. The Confirmation evening was a wonderful experience, Father Mac led a very special service.

In class we did a wide variety of work which included building and using a solar oven, learning resuscitation and studying World War II. As we prepared for our trip to Canberra, we also investigated the workings of Parliament and the tourist attractions of our Nation’s capital.

Term 3 Term 3 always has many sporting commitments to keep us busy. We had interschool fixtures, a lightning carnival, cross country and the athletics carnival. We also had a lot of work to do. When we had completed our WALNA and R.E testing we got busy working on our topics of Global Warming and Ancient Egypt. We used the documentary An Inconvenient Truth as our focus for Science. Our Ancient Egypt culminated in an excursion to the Art Gallery to view the Louvre’s Egyptian Antiquities.

While we were in the city we also visited the WA Museum to see the Australia’s National Treasures Exhibition. We were also lucky enough to prepare the Reconciliation Mass for our Year 4s Holy Communion.

Third term always finishes with the very popular “Big Walk”, which again was a great day.

Term 4 During Term 4 we prepared for our final weeks in the Junior School. Miss Bott organised our assembly item and Concert Night act. We also had Graduation and the School Fair.

In class we built mouse trap cars, studied Japan, and continued our work with the year 4s.

We would like to thank everyone for their help during our time in the Junior School.

Modified Games In Term 3 Mr Hamer said that we were going to make a modified game with partners, I chose Finlay and Coombsy (James. C) It was fun making the game up because we could all contribute and we had some extra laughs from Finlay!

Mr Matt Hamer When we had all finalised Year 6 Blue our plans the Year 5s came to play our great games. Our game was better than we thought it was going to be. I had a try myself and it was an active and fun game, we also got good responses from the teachers which meant our group was going to get good marks. I think our game will be played by Trinity students for years to come!

Morgan Watervoort

Ben’s Visit When Ben Wyatt, the Labor State Representative for Victoria Park visited the Year 6 classes it was a great experience for myself and all the Year 6 students. To have a politician at such a high seat of Parliament at school was exciting, and because we have been studying the role of Parliament we were familiar with his position. He told us that he works all day dealing with complaints and comments from citizens. By the way he talked to us, I could tell how dedicated he was and that he loved his job; to take his precious time to come and teach us about Parliament was very kind. I learnt a lot from him and I am sure that my classmates did too.

Thanks Ben.

The Museum In Term 3 we had an excursion with the other Year 6 class to the Perth Museum. We looked at the megamouth shark first, it was really long. Then we split into several groups. I was with Mr Hamer’s group and we started off at the National Treasures, I saw some really interesting items such as the world Olympic torch and Ned Kelly’s helmet. We saw some skeletons of gorillas and I also saw a creature that could roll itself up into a shell to protect itself from predators. The trip was very interesting and very educational. Thanks Mr Hamer!

Harold Nguyen

Worm Farm This awesome year in Term 1 Kevin the worm man came and visited us. He told us all about compost worms. They will eat anything that is organic they will even eat worms that have died. After we learnt about the worms we went out and made our own worm farm.

Kevin brought a few buckets of his worms and we could hold them. They were a bit slimy and they tickled your hand when they moved. Then we got to hold their castings (poo), fortunately it didn’t smell. Kevin then told as all about worm wiz. He told us that when the water drips through the damp soil it picks up bits of castings.

The water turns out brown but, it is really good for the garden.

Electoral Commission and Parliament House When 6 Blue received a note to say that we were going to the Electoral Commission and Parliament house we were all excited about learning about Western Australia’s most recognised politicians. When we arrived at the Electoral Commission, Nigel, our guide, took us to a room where a digital robot named Viv was talking to us about what happens on the day of an election. Nigel then took us to a smaller room where he showed us how to vote in a voting booth.

We then took a five minute walk to Parliament House where we went into a red room which is the Legislative Council and a blue room (normally green) which is the Legislative Assembly. In the Legislative Assembly room eleven students including myself performed a role play which was a debate about performance enhancing drugs in sports.

I think my classmates enjoyed the day as much as I did.

Josh Rouphael

Our Assembly Every year we have a class assembly. I think that everyone enjoys it, especially me. This year Mr Hamer wanted us to design the parts for our assembly. Mr Hamer said “I want you to create an advertisement.”

We worked in groups and had some class clowns that got the funny parts. We practised lots and lots adding props, a stage and six advertisements. This was going to turn out to be fantastic! Our first advertisement was a great opening. Our last advertisement was also a great finish. I would have to say this was the funniest, most enjoyable and most fun assembly ever!

Finlay Koenig-Luck

Our Marble Timers This year in Design Technology Mr Hamer said we were going to make marble timers. It was so much fun making them. I thought that it was the most fun I had in the whole year. There was no marble timer that was the same size, shape or style. Also to make the task harder we had to make it set something off like dominoes. Noah’s set off party poppers and Simon’s was like a game. All the marble timers were unique and amazing. No one could have been disappointed with their efforts.

Thanks Mr Hamer Angus Gillespie

The Albatross In Term 2 we learnt about Antarctica. We learnt about the environment and the animals. Then one day Mr Hamer said that we were going to make a life sized Albatross and he said that we were going to make it out of paper rods. At first I thought it was going to be really hard but as we got started it turned out to be easy.

Almost every day Mr Hamer would choose a group of five boys to go down and work on it. The group that I was in was the first one to start the paper mache. After a while we finished doing the paper mache but we had to do another layer this time in white. After a while we started to paint it. Then a few days later Mr Hamer and a few boys put up the albatross in the Library. That very day the whole class got a picture taken for the annual.

I think that was one of my favourite activities this year.

Mr Gordon Dean Year 6 Green

oys in Year 6 Green were exposed to the expertise of a number of wonderful teachers this year and completed many exciting and varied activities best summed up by the boys themselves. Below are some thoughts from the students.

My favourite program at school was making a balloon powered car. I enjoyed working with my friends Luke and Aran and our car came fourth, covering a distance of 3.1 metres.

Jared Whitely The Lightning Carnival was mega fun. I also enjoyed the cross country, Big Walk and other stuff such as spelling games, playing sport, art and music.

Aran Speldewinde

Mr Gordon Dean

6 is the year we’re in Groups of kids sitting down Reading is a subject in our class Everyone gets treated the same way Eating lunch together when it is raining Neat is our classroom Class is really fun Laughing sometimes in class Awards is what we get when we are good Sharing is what we do in class Saints are something we worked on in class James Ryan One of my highlights in Year 6 is how much I have improved in my spelling. I have also been reading a lot more books this year and I even enjoy it sometimes, however, the best highlight was receiving my Junior School Award.

Cory Dugan

I enjoyed our visit to Parliament House. We had a lot of fun, did a role play and we were given free food and drinks which were yum. Our visit to the Museum was also interesting because I learned about animals that I didn’t even know existed.

Connor Wilson This year I enjoyed the trip to Parliament House, the Sports Carnival, doing art and going to sport and doing Science with Mr Chitty.

Lance Mongoo The highlight for me was definitely when Coen Sheldon and myself went to the interschool spelling competition which was held at Wesley College. I can’t believe that I actually got into the competition.

Year Six Green Year 6

When we went to the Electoral Office, our host was Nigel and he taught us how to vote as well as the three levels of government. It was very interesting.

Wesley Maxfield Some of the highlights for me have been going to the interschool swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals. I regard myself lucky to have been involved in these events.

Fraser Hay My highlight at the start of the year was walking into 6G which was going to be my second fabulous year with Mr Dean. I also got to hang out with some new boys who I had not met before. In Term 3 we went to Parliament House, the Electoral Office and the Museum which was all very interesting. This has been my best year at Trinity.

Adam Nguyen I really enjoyed the swimming and sports carnival. I liked them because I am really good at swimming and my favourite stroke is breaststroke. I got into the Interschool Athletics Carnival for high jump and the 800 metres.

Nicholas Di Nardo

It was fun making my clay crab in art extension with Mr Lamborne. We also glazed the crab to make it shiny.

Daniel Pinto At Parliament House, I was chosen to be the Sergeant at Arms which was really fun. The whole year has been terrific.

Jack Seward I enjoyed our visit to the Museum to see the National History Exhibition. My favourite exhibits were Ned Kelly’s helmet and Don Bradman’s bat.

Peter Perry I loved this year, doing balloon cars with Mr Chitty, art projects with Mr Lamborne and being in the Interschool Spelling Competition. I absolutely, positively, loved Italian with Senora Vito as well as language, spelling and maths with Mr Dean.

Term 1

Miss Jackie Sherlock Year 5 Blue

In Term 1 we had our class camp. It was at Forest Edge.

I had lots of fun doing all the activities, like going on a MASSIVE flying fox, rock climbing, abseiling, making rafts and even making our own shirts.

Jack Kay

Term 1 was so much fun because of camp. We got to do lots of activities that everyone wanted to do. Also we got to have the most delicious food ever. My favourite part about camp was being with my friends. They were a great help and very kind to everyone.

Jake Tana

Term 2 It was so exciting when it was our class Mass.

We had fun doing the readings and the Power Point. I thought our Mass was pretty good and I liked the DVD that Miss Sherlock put on.

In Term 2 we had winter sports and I got into soccer. My favourite part of the game was when we scored goals. Our team was undefeated because we were just too good for the other schools.

Michael Braut

Term 3 In Term 3 we did so many exciting things.

We had our first class assembly in Year 5 and performed a combination of things.

We performed a puppet show, recited Shakespeare, danced and performed many other interesting acts. This term Miss Sherlock also sorted us into literacy groups and we did Book Club once a week. She was very good at encouraging us to read books and not to rush through them. It was obvious she wanted us to do well. I ended up reading four novels.

Alexander Economo In Term 3 we started reading class novels and doing literacy work in groups, which was really fun. We also did our class assembly, but I didn’t get to perform, because I had to go home sick, which was really disappointing. Also in Term 3 we did a cool diorama project on a book we had recently read. Term 3 was GREAT! Brayden Keizer

94

The Whole Year I think Year 5 Blue this year has made an improvement in their attitude towards learning at school. The class activities were interesting and fun. I liked the science topic ‘Reversible and Irreversible Changes’ and I especially liked the experiments. This year I found my talent in writing stories and have even been inspired to write my own story at home.

The class movie we created was really fun; I enjoyed filming and being in it. I have also made more friends and I think the friendships I had last year have become stronger.

Reece Gherardi

Year Five Green Year 5

I

n Year 5 Green, one of my favourite things we did was Book Club. I really liked Book Club because we had six books that we could choose to read. We had two weeks to read the one we chose and then we sat with the others who read the same book. We discussed Miss Nicole Raguseo the book within the group Year 5 Green and got to eat food that we brought in while we chatted! Book Club really rocks!

Damon Keizer My favourite thing we did this year was the Winter Sports options. I chose Footy. It was fun playing against the other schools, especially the rivalry round against Aquinas! It was great to have Thursday sport options because last year we couldn’t go along.

Angus Thomas

On my first day in Year 5 Green I didn’t have any trouble finding my desk because it was at the front door! I was sitting next to Frank because he was new and I got to show him around. Since we were right near the front we could bat first when we played cricket because we were right next to the equipment! Miss Raguseo was really, really nice to us!

Michael Defelice On Fridays we go to art.

When Mr Lamborn isn’t looking my friends and I like to play table hockey with a rubber and our rulers!

Bayley Smith

My favourite thing we did in Year 5 Green was when we went to camp. It was great fun and we did such cool things! We went canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling, orienteering, raft building, on the flying fox and made our own T-shirts! Camp is the best!

Michael Butler This year has been a big change for me! I have got in to reading books, doing lots of hard work and always trying my best! What a year!

Year Five Green Year 5

My favourite day in 5 Green was the Athletics day because it was my first Athletics day at Trinity. Our first activity was high jump, then shot put, long jump and then triple jump. My favourite was high jump, although I was pretty good at shot put. After those activities we had the 200m sprint; it was awesome. Then we had all the other running events. We stopped for lunch so we could all get our hot dogs; they were yummy! Then we did the team events, tug of war was my favourite! I had an excellent day even though my House, Chanel, came third!

Max Formato

96

On my first day in 5 Green, I couldn’t wait to start, I was so keen.

My teacher was Miss Raguseo, she was really cool, But to muck around in her class, you’d be a fool.

We immediately started to read a book, And then we learnt how to cook!

The highlight of the year was camp We walked and walked until we got a cramp.

In year 5 a lot of sport was played Soccer, cricket, football, talents were displayed.

My year, this year has been the best I hope it will be the same for the rest.

The first year at Trinity has been very exciting for me.

Alexander Livings

Alexander Michelon Term 3 was a busy term. We had our First Holy Communion and two excursions in one day; one to Fremantle Prison and the other to the Maritime Museum.

We also had our Sports Carnival. Campion won the carnival. Altogether, Term 3 was my favourite term.

Lachlan Broun The first day of school was fun. We met Miss Trend our teacher. When I first saw the school I knew I would enjoy life here. All the terms were awesome! My favourite was Term 3 because we went to Fremantle Prison. The Big Walk was fun when we went with our buddies.

Reece Drudi

I enjoyed my whole year at Trinity but Term 3 was the best. The best thing was our Holy Communion. Now every time I go to church I have the bread. The other highlight was the Athletics Carnival. I came fourth in my race.

Junior Faith Education Faith Education

e commenced the school year with a Mass prepared by the teachers, setting a wonderful example of what was to follow with Year level Masses.

W

At this Mass we had the blessing and presentation of the Prefects’ and House Captains’ Badges.

The Year level Masses are a central part of our Faith Develop Programme. Each class has several opportunities during the year to organise the Mass for the rest of the school community.

This year we were well supported by parents who attended these Masses. It has now become a tradition that the parents who attend Mass bring a plate and have morning tea in the Boardroom after Mass. It provides an opportunity for parents to socialise, and more importantly to build on our community spirit.

Chaplain At Trinity we are blessed with the services of a full-time Chaplain, Fr. Michael McMahon who generously attends to the Sacramental needs of the community. We really appreciate the time and effort he puts into the Junior School. Nothing is too much trouble for him especially driving to Dwellingup to celebrate the Eucharist on our Confirmation retreats.

Father also ran a very successful retreat day for the staff at the Redemptorist Monastery in North Perth. The purpose of the retreat was to instill an awareness of the origins of the Gospels in general in the historical context of the Church Journal and in particular with regard to the Gospel of Luke and to tease out the contextualization which took place in the Gospels and how this process can be duplicated in our reflection on the Gospel. The day was very casual, enjoyed by the staff and ended with a Eucharistic celebration and lunch.

The Confirmation Retreat was held at Camp Kelly and was a great success.

Special thanks to Father Michael McMahon who attended both Year 7 Retreats and for all his input with the program. The Masses we had were very special and meaningful for the boys. The setting was superb, overlooking the valley.

Confirmation took place on the 7th June.

This was the second year that we had Father Michael as our main celebrant and what a superb job he does! The service was a memorable occasion beginning with the recognition of the traditional custodians of our land. Our thanks to George Walley who did a brilliant job playing the didgeridoo.

Special thanks to Mr. Maxfield and Mr. Bell for doing a superb job preparing the boys and for their input on the retreat.

First Holy Communion On the 17th August about sixty- two boys received their First Holy Communion. There was much preparation leading to this very special celebration. The boys were well prepared by Mrs Margaret Trutwein and Miss Felicity Trend. One of the highlights of the preparation was their day retreat at the Schoenstatt Shrine in Armadale. Sister Lissett facilitated a wonderful day of reflection and hands on activities for the boys.

Parents and boys did a wonderful job with the First Holy Communion posters which were displayed in the foyer of the Junior School before adorning the Chapel on the Day. Special thanks to the many parents who helped with the flowers and decorating of the Chapel.

Confirmation

Fr. Michael added his own special touch to the service and made it very personal for the boys.

Once again we had an overwhelming response with parent involvement in the Confirmation Home Program.

Letters from the boys

The Home Program was a great success and parents expressed how beneficial it was for the parents and boys involved. It also provided the parents with the opportunity to get to know each other on a more personal level.

Dear Jesus, On Friday I received my First Holy Communion. In the morning I was in a hurry to get to school. Once I entered the Chapel, I was surprised at how many people there were. When it was my turn to speak, I felt very nervous.

I was very excited when Communion started. The bread tasted like an ice-cream cone.

From Nick Gillespie Dear Jesus, When I arrived at school I was a bit nervous and I told myself to be confident and to relax. When I was doing my reading, I felt proud to read in front of so many people. I saw my mum taking a photo of me and it made me smile. When I received the Host, I felt that I was a man like my dad.

Mothers’ Day

Why I love being a mum……….

Once again we were very fortunate to have mums share their reflections on mothering as part of the homily. Here are a few excerpts from their talks.

What can I say? Being a mum is fabulous – it is hard work but it is certainly one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

When I reflect on the wonders of motherhood, I automatically think of our children as babies even though the eldest is almost 16. I guess no matter how old they will always be my babies…

As my children have grown there have certainly been trying times, moments when keeping my temper has seemed impossible and lowering my blood pressure an unattainable goal. I think these times are when I need to remember the most what I love about being a Mum. I love the time at night when I will be lying in bed reading and my son will join me and we just lie there and talk, about who won the latest game and what’s happening in his life. It means so much to me that even though there’ve been times our voices have been raised that we are still able to communicate.

I love the times when we have family movie nights. I always get to choose the film so it is usually a “girly” movie. Even though it’s not that cool to watch Disney happy ever after movies they don’t complain. It means so much to me that our kids will do something for their Mum when I know that it’s not an activity they would normally choose to do.

I love the times when I come home from work exhausted, mentally thinking of all the work I still need to do and my son will have cleaned the kitchen, started dinner and set the table and tried to do as many of the little jobs as he can to make life easier. It means so much to me that even though a teenager can be very selfcentred, there are still times he thinks of his Mum first.

These are the moments I cherish, the times that carry me through the tears and make me truly grateful for the gift I received when I became a Mum. Thank you.

Rachel McSweeny

I’m really glad that I have boys; they are so much simpler than girls! When in doubt, give them a footy or take them to the park.

I love being a footy mum (which is lucky, as I get to watch 3-4 footy games every weekend). I also love shooting baskets with the boys, kicking the footy, riding bikes, playing Monopoly, hearing all about runescape or the latest X-Box 360 game….and I especially love the snuggles.

They will NEVER be too old to cuddle.

I love it when they get the ball and I yell and scream with pride (much to their embarrassment!)

I love the warm fuzzies and goose bumps I get when they get an award or perform in a concert.

I am so proud of them.

I would be lying if I said I like the cooking, washing and cleaning, or the dirty looks I get when I ask them to do their room…….BUT…if I have to do it for someone, there’s no-one I’d rather do it for than my 2 boys. I love them to death!

I know I am lucky and I know that the time I have with them is short – I feel like I shouldn’t waste a minute of it. (Although I have instructed them to marry a Perth girl and to buy a house less than 5kms from home so I can see them all the time!).

They are my best friends.

They know me so well and I know them so well.

Finally…to use that line from Jerry McGuire – “they complete me” and I cannot imagine my life without them.

Junior School Music Junior Music

T

he students at Trinity Junior School have been very busy in 2007 with active participation in the JSHAA Performing Arts Festival as well as the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival.

In Term 1 volunteers from Years 4-7 were called for the production of the musical Mrs Elizabeth Leith The Dragon Returns. They Junior Music Specialist rehearsed for several months preparing this hilarious skit complete with countless knights and peasants, a king, a cruel villain, a mythical dragon a brave hero and of course a beautiful princess!

The musical was presented to the Junior School, an audience of children at the Perth Concert Hall and finally to parents at the Concert Hall to thunderous applause!

Many boys went to the Concert Hall for the daytime performance and were able to view other schools’ musical efforts and loudly applaud their own “merry men” on stage.

In Term 1 students in all the school ensembles also performed at the annual Junior Music Afternoon in March. Preparation also began for the Middle School Music Night in May and the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival in August.

These events provide an opportunity for the students in the Year 4-5 Choir, Year 6-7 Choir, special Year 4-7 Choir, band, instrumental ensembles, instrumental and vocal soloists to display their musical skills. The Middle School Music Night always allows the boys and their parents to view the growth of skills and commitment shown by older boys, to which the younger boys can aspire.

This year the Junior School choirs were involved in the liturgical choral section of the festival for the first time, as well as the primary choral section. The many months of rehearsing culminated in a satisfying display of talent and discipline for the students working together as a team!

Meanwhile classroom music sessions continue to happen alongside this very busy ensemble work. The boys participate in singing, percussion work, practise listening and written skills as well as experiences to broaden their musical knowledge and appreciation of music. Their creativity is challenged via group and individual music making assignments.

The Music Program was enhanced by incursions from the Silver Threads Band, a Musical Viva event, visits by the Middle School ensembles and excursions to a WASO concert and St John of God Hospital for Christmas carolling by the band and choir ensembles.

As the Junior School Concert and Presentation evening looms, the boys are busy preparing new songs to the theme of Off We Go, a concept based on the Dr Seuss book Oh the Places You’ll Go, which explores opportunities awaiting the boys in the future. It is definitely a highlight of the busy Junior School Calendar.

All the extra rehearsals and months of planning come to fruition on the night in the grinning faces of the students on stage. My work at Trinity is constantly affirmed by the pride and passion shown by the students as they take part in the music program. With Christmas carol rehearsals and Graduation rehearsals ahead, another year at Trinity draws to an end.

BIG T

his year BIG auditions saw 150 boys in Years 4 to 7 showcase their talent.

Helping me with auditions was Isabelle Ringoet, a theatrical performer from Belgium. Choosing this year’s group was very difficult, especially as the culture, standard and passion for Ms Ruth Bott dance at Trinity College is Performing Arts Coordinator escalating. So strong was the dancing that we decided to create two dance groups and give 70 boys the opportunity to be part of the BIG experience.

during the October holidays. The boys displayed maturity and professionalism, dancing beautifully with GIG at this event where they were invited as guests.

The first BIG group gathered early in Semester 1 to work towards an item to be performed at the Music Assembly in Week 9. BIG sketches was created where 35 boys used their body, energy and musicality in an entertaining way. The boys performed with confidence, and this was a major feat as it was the first time many of the boys had ever danced on stage.

BIG had the challenging task of re-working sections of i-fly for the ACHPER Primary Dance Festival held on Thursday 8th November. Adapting the piece without GIG members meant new parts to learn and a general re-structuring, with many of the BIG members finding new strength. The boys gave a disciplined and creative performance of this work on the stage at The Octagon Theatre.

This group of boys had the amazing experience of collaborating with BUZZ Dance Theatre on their show Cinderella Dressed in Yella. BIG travelled by bus to the Kings Street Studios and spent most of the day dancing in groups with the professional dancers from BUZZ. Parents were invited to view this very colourful and imaginative work, featuring their sons. It was a day to remember! Thank you Mr Hamer for sharing the day with us. Perhaps you can join the boys on stage next time.

The BIG members in the Semester 2 group brought a little more experience with them. These 32 dancers were about to experience something new: dancing with the senior boys in GIG (Guys in Groove). Combining the junior and senior boys opened up the possibilities for even more exciting, physical dance. Early in Term 3 rehearsals began for i-fly, a contemporary dance work exploring the ideas of balance, propulsion and turbulence. We were all working towards the big performance in Week 9 for Outside Edge, the contemporary arts concert. The boys from BIG seemed to enjoy the opportunity that saw them work closely with their senior school peers. All boys danced with strength, expression and skill, made even more special with boys as young as eight dancing with sixteen year olds.

Further opportunities arose for BIG to perform this year’s major dance piece at the International ACHPER Conference held at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle

The Senior School Speech Night, held at The Perth Concert Hall on Thursday 25th October, was to be the final performance of i-fly featuring both BIG and GIG. The boys managed to adapt their formations to suit the challenging dimensions of the stage. This performance gave many of the staff and students at Trinity College the opportunity to see our talented dancers. The feedback following the concert was extremely affirming, and many commented on the funky soundtrack by DJ Shadow, Mr Oizo and The Chemical Brothers. Perhaps we will recruit even more senior dancers next year!

The final event of the year was the Junior Concert and Presentation Evening held in Gibney Hall on Monday 4th December. Both BIG groups from Semesters 1 and 2 performed their major dance works. Thank you to Carolyn Orr, Sandra Ryan and a collection of parents for ensuring the Trinity boys always look stunning on stage in their costumes. Watching these dance performances and the previous six held throughout the year on various stages certainly emphasised something I have suspected for a long time: Trinity boys can dance!

Junior Basketball Junior Sport

t has been a great season for the A’s Basketball Team. Our Trinity basketball team handles things the old fashioned way, with hard work. The season was going well for us winning all our games until stumbling against Guildford.

I

It was a tough contest that had plenty of physical clashes and the occasional jab that threatened to blow up. We lost to Guildford but the bottom line is that we all did our best. We knew we would get a chance to play them again but had to wait for the Lightning Carnival. The team got back on the winners list and were playing some great basketball.

Ms Lissa Coleman Coach

Junior Basketball A Team

T

his season we had a fantastic team of committed and talented players. We were helped most admirably

by Mr Wayd Blakiston and his expert coaching was much appreciated. The Team suffered only one defeat to Guildford Grammar in the fixtures and went through undefeated in the Lightning Carnival. It was a most impressive performance. All of the players put in match winning performances and all stepped up during some close matches. I am so proud of each and every one of these fine young men and I am sure they will continue to play their best for Trinity College in the future. I wish them all the best.

Ms Lissa Coleman Coach

The lightning carnival was upon us.

We marched onto the court with pride for we wore the Trinity basketball A’s Guernsey. We can count on our substitutes to come off the bench and provide some baskets and sweet passes. Our team was unbeaten in the carnival so far and had one more game to play, the most crucial game of the season, Trinity Vs Hale.

In the end Hale fought hard but we were just too determined to win and we beat them fair and square.

The backboard was our friend, we caught up from a ten nil deficit. For we are the mighty Trinity basketball team and we will never give up not until the fat lady sings, at least. We don’t have many tall players in our team but it’s not how big you are it’s how big you play! The basketball season was a slam we won every game and we rock man!

I will leave you with this inspirational quote by John Rohn; To be successful, you don’t have to do extraordinary things, just do ordinary things extraordinarily well.

1st XI Cricket 2007

T

his year, the Trinity 1st XI cricket squad went through the season and lightning carnival undefeated. We averaged over 100 runs every game and with some great batting and bowling performances by everyone we managed to hold off most teams and win by over 50 runs every game. Our toughest opponents were Scotch College where we managed to win by 1 run in a classic game of cricket.

To finish off the cricketing calendar we played in an Indoor Cricket Lightning Carnival against all the PSA schools. We had a close encounter with Aquinas but held them off and to win by over 30 runs. There was another dangerous opposition team in Hale that were also undefeated in the carnival. The team stood up to the challenge and played extremely well to beat them which was great for Trinity.

This year was one of the best years in cricket for Trinity Junior School. Our coach Mr Chitty coached us well throughout the season, picking a great team every week and helping us at training and at games. Over all we had a great finish to our Junior School Cricket and wish the team in next year all the very best.

Highest Score by team: 4/128 off 21 overs vs. Aquinas.

Average wickets taken per game: 8 wickets Most runs scored in season: Nathan Butler (73 runs) Ave: 14.6.

Junior Flippaball Junior Sport

T

his year was going to be a very exiting year for the team as there were a lot of boys that didn’t have a huge amount of experience and were playing in the A team for the first time. We lost our first couple of games because we did not have a great backline and the competition was very strong and experienced.

During the middle part of the season the team had played a few games together and were starting to gel well as a team and began to use our strengths. The backline was working hard and defending really well which was what we missed at the beginning of the season and started to get close to a victory. Because we had got so close to winning against some very good teams the boys became determined to win which was

great because the Lightning Carnival was just around the corner.

The Lightning Carnival was great fun and a success for our team winning and drawing a game against high quality teams. We scored an average of about 6 – 7 goals a game which was a terrific effort.

Overall all the boys had a great time and got a lot out of the season. Mr Mepham our coach was very happy with our efforts as we had improved so much. The B’s Flippaball has a bright future in the Junior School having won most of their games this season.

e began this season with a successful game against Wesley College. Our next game was for the Ian MacRae Cup and we were excited to triumph over Aquinas College 71-0.

Our toughest game by far was against Scotch College which we won in the last minute by 5 points. Leading up to the lightning carnival we were undefeated and pumped for the big day.

On the 23 August we competed in the Winter Lightning Carnival. We won the first game against Hale School comfortably, had a narrow victory over Scotch College

in the second game and triumphed over Guildford Grammar School in the third game. In our last game for the season and the Junior School (for the Year 7s) we played a brilliant game of football against Aquinas College and finished a great season with a convincing win.

On behalf of the 1st XVIII Football Team 2007 we would like to thank Mr Bell for being a great coach. Also we would like to thank Mr Chitty for organising this year’s Winter sports season.

Modcrosse F

or Term 1 sport we chose Modcrosse. Our coach was very helpful and encouraging when we weren’t winning or doing the best we could. Mr Hamer taught us some strategies and how to use our skills as a team so that we were stronger than the opponent. He taught us things that we could not have mastered without his coaching.

Our team had a mixture of both Year 6 and 7s. The teams we played could not get past our strong defence or stop our aggressive offence. With our superb tactics and team work we took on every team and ended up on top.

This year the team backed-up another great season.

We won most of our games during the season and only lost a few games. By the time the Summer Lightning Carnival was upon us we were at the top of our game.

We had a very good side that always gave it their all and never got discouraged when we were losing. The Modcrosse team finished on top at the carnival which was a fitting end to the fantastic season and we are very proud of it.

1st Soccer Report

T

he 2007 soccer season started with a few losses but as the season progressed we just got better and better. Our coaches Mr Piccicacco and Mr Chitty taught us many things throughout the season. Towards the end of the season we all started to work together as one team and as a result of our hard work we started to win our matches against the stronger schools in the competition.

At the Winter Lightning Carnival we pushed ourselves really hard and had some fantastic results. At one stage we were undefeated in our opening four games but

failed to capitalise on a few opportunities in the last two matches just falling short of taking out the honours on the day.

The 1st Soccer Team showed a lot of promise and potential finishing off the season in very good form. The team would like to thank Mr Piccicacco and Mr Chitty for the many helpful skills that they taught us and more importantly for making the season loads of fun.

We are indeed fortunate to have the Burswood Tennis Centre for our coaching sessions and home games.

It was terrific to see an improvement in their skills by the end of the season.

We have a few promising players who will hopefully continue playing tennis for Trinity.

Special thanks to those parents who came along to encourage and support the boys each week.

Mr Gordon Dean Coach

T

his year tennis was a very popular and exciting summer sport. We had a lot of new boys playing competitive tennis for the very first time making up 14 teams. The year 7s led by example helping the younger players and showing them how to play.

Most of the teams played quite well improving each week with experience. We showed good sportsmanship towards other schools and were rewarded by our coach Mr Dean.

We won our first fixture against Aquinas which was a great way to start the tennis season. We had highs against Guildford and lows against Hale. The boys lucky enough to represent Trinity for the Lightning Carnival were Marc Mather, Alex Murphy, Jayden Marciano, Blair Stroud and Ben Azzopardi. Everybody who played at the carnival enjoyed themselves and had a really great time.

We played the best we could on the day winning a few matches but sadly lost more than we won. The competition was very strong! Mr Dean was proud of our efforts especially how much we improved throughout the year.

Faith Education Faith Education

rinity College has high expectations of its educators with regard to the promotion and transmission of the Catholic faith, bringing into focus the religious and faith identity of the individual teacher. The future of the Catholic Church is now widely recognised to be Mr Gerard Theseira heavily reliant on these Director of Faith Formation teachers to significantly contribute to the message and the mission of the Catholic Church in the 21st century.

T

In Australia there is widespread consensus that in the classroom Religious Education is like all other learning areas, involving a professional educator and academic study skills and assessments. At Trinity, the study of Religious Education offers students the opportunity to freely respond to the Gospel at the centre of their education and such response is not restricted to the Religious Education classroom, but is enhanced by it.

There is no substitute for academic rigour in Religious Education. The sign of its coming of age as a ‘real’ learning area is its involvement in the pedagogical debates within education, especially in the area of curriculum framework and in the challenging topic of outcomes based education, where students are challenged to ‘learn about’ and ‘learn to do’.

Current discourse presumes Religious Education is a real learning area and now mainstreams it by focusing on the best contemporary pedagogies. Religious Education would be successfully understood if it were seen as a process that seeks to raise student awareness, knowledge and understanding of the beliefs, traditions and history of faith.

At Trinity, Religious Education aims to develop within the student the skills required to reflect upon, evaluate,

interpret, internalise and respond to the Catholic tradition in a way that is meaningful to them. Religious Education is primarily a process concerned with the intellectual mastery and disciplined inquiry through which it is hoped that each student at Trinity may make a deeper, personal response to God and to develop an integrated understanding and sense of the world in which they live.

Efforts to establish Religious Education curriculum credentials in mainstream education have been both intrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic purpose relates to the body of knowledge, for example ‘the prophets of the Old Testament’, a historical method of inquiry based on reasoning and evidence that leads to historical facts and beyond to interpretations of events. What we call ‘knowledge’ in Religious Education is a body of composite beliefs, ideology and rituals. The extrinsic justification of Religious Education is based upon the broader individual and social gains that the subject pursues and provides; the statements about attitudes, values and skills. This extrinsic value cannot be empirically validated.

The Archdiocesan Units of Work are implemented to inform the students at Trinity College of the Catholic understanding of faith, ritual, belief, value and scripture.

Wonder and mystery continue to be a vital aspect of this program. Students within a Religious Education environment need to engage with the conceptual constructs of the Catholic faith and deepen the relationship between the worldview they possess and their spirituality.

2007 has been a productive and innovative year in the Religious Education Learning Area, motivated by a team of committed and dedicated staff. I am thankful for their generosity and skills.

Mr Gerard Theseira Director of Faith Formation

Campus Ministry Campus Ministry

I

THE MISSION OF CAMPUS MINISTRY We, Campus Ministry at Trinity College, as part of the Body of Christ, are called to glorify God in all aspects of our lives.

We are called to create and foster an environment where all can develop an understanding and awareness of and a personal relationship with God, who dwells in and around our neighbour and us.

In this environment we strive to provide opportunities for spiritual growth and the building of community.

Through our worship, prayer, service, study and reflection and even our leisure activities, we reach out to our campus community, the greater Perth community and the world.

Within the Trinity community, we hope to engender a commitment to life-long spiritual growth, to realise the deepening of a love relationship with God and to instil an understanding of the interconnectedness of our human family, a family characterised by mercy and divine justice, by peace, love and joy.

began 2007 with nine of our Year 12 students, Mr Michael Slacksmith and Brother Rob Callen in Calcutta, where we were participating in the Trinity Pilgrimage Through India. These young people’s generous spirit in giving up so much of their summer holidays to spend time reaching out to the poor, Mr Leo Murray Director of Campus Ministry reflected the magnanimous attitude of our students that we witness in Campus Ministry and Christian Service. On returning to Trinity the pilgrims shared their experiences with fellow students and inspired many others to take up the challenge. There was an impressive response in the number of applications for the 2008 Pilgrimage. A selection committee decided on criteria and interviewed twenty eight excellent applicants from whom nine were selected – a difficult choice.

The class of 2007 responded enthusiastically to all the opportunities for leadership that we presented them with.

Before classes resumed this year, twelve Year 12 students completed their preparation for the Quest Retreat for which they trained the Year 11 Peer Ministers. Twenty five Year 12 students volunteered to be Special Ministers of the Eucharist, a role where they publicly gave witness to their commitment to Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament and their desire to share this gift. As participants and leaders they gave impressive witness to their faith in our bookend Retreats – Kairos and Quest.

Students took time out to reflect on God present in their life in our other retreats also. Year 12 on the Tabgha Retreat, paused to ponder on what God is calling them to at this important stage. On the Encounter Retreat, Year 11 reflected on their experience of reaching out to others in their extended experience of Christian Service. Year 10, at a time of decisions about their future, experienced the Risen Jesus in the Emmaus Retreat. The Galilee Retreat was an opportunity for Year 9s to walk with Jesus by the banks of the Swan – some got more wet than others.

Every term with Fr Michael McMahon we celebrated a Mass with each Year group, sometimes with an extra focus for example, inducting the Special Ministers of the Eucharist at the first Year 12 Mass and celebrating special moments in the life of our school community with the Mass of the Holy Spirit to begin the Academic Year, Ash Wednesday introducing Lent and renewing our commitment to caring for others, the Feast Day of Edmund Rice and Graduation Mass to farewell our Year 12s. In all these activities students participated enthusiastically as Altar Servers, Lectors, Ushers and with Liturgical Music. A special source of joy was celebrating Baptism within Mass with students who decided to join our Catholic Faith Community during the year.

We are impressed with the obvious commitment of students and staff in making all these events happen.

We are happy and thankful Lord that you have given us this opportunity Mrs Marya Stewart To be a witness of God’s Director of Christian Service love in action.

Christian Service seeks to provide students at every secondary Year level with opportunities to serve others.

Whether helping out more around the home, helping the elderly in residential care, or serving soup to the homeless, Trinity students are encouraged through these opportunities to grow as people of faith.

How wonderful it is to see the boys helping a challenged primary school child or their delight in environmental projects as they learn to care for planet Earth. How heart-warming it is to hear them discuss how helping out at home has made Mum so happy. How rewarding it is to see our senior students afford homeless and destitute people such dignity and respect. Above all, how gratifying it is to read their journal reflections that so clearly demonstrate their understanding of how through their actions they are the witnesses of God’s love.

The core value of Christian service is building relationships with others, particularly those who are in need of help and support. It is not so much about what or how much we do; rather, it is about how and why we do it. Knowledge and awareness of God’s love for us leads us to believe in our own capacity to love and inspires us to do good. It is also true that through relationships with others, especially those in need, we meet Jesus who challenges us to grow to be more compassionate human beings.

The following, taken from the journals kept for the Year 11 Sharing Gifts and Year 12 Senior Project, express this appreciation of relationships being at the heart of the Christian Service experience: “Two Middle Eastern women today saddened me immensely. One woman was very quiet and despite her obvious skill with the language rarely spoke. Another had multiple scars leading down her chest as if from a knife wound or whip. This saddened me because they were both attractive young women, who apparently in their own country had suffered… and they now had little

“I learnt that the elderly and sick are not just vacant and lost causes but have much to offer to society and the younger generation. I also learnt how rewarding the lighting up of an old person’s face and the smile with which they greet you can be.”

Nicholas Buckley, Year 11.6 (Royal Perth Hospital)

“Just by talking to the clients, asking them how they are and what they are going to be doing during that day can really make a difference to their day, as they think you are their new best friend; which is true. No matter what is wrong with them they are still people with a heart. We are not all born perfect but we should all be accepted in society. I tried to show them that they were special and didn’t need to feel alone.”

Tom Lovegrove, Year 11.2 (KIRA centre for adults with disabilities)

“I saw God at the placement when the staff were helping the elderly. There was one incident where an old lady had fallen off her chair. Staff rushed to her aid and helped her back up. This immediately reminded me of the way Jesus helped the poor and sick of his community.”

“I think that with my faith, what the world needs to do is to take that extra time to help your fellow human beings, because everybody needs help some time and afterwards you feel better for it.”

Matthew Cowie (Carramar Retirement Village)

“The injustice that I have encountered at my placement is that people can’t go out and do what they want as they have disabilities which restrict their ability to function; that they can’t go home because at home they

can’t be cared for. These people who can’t speak properly and have memory problems because of dementia are placed inside a home, not to be seen for years in the public eye, shunned away.”

Ken Duggan, Year 11.4 (Brightwater)

“I believe that I did see God at my placement through the patients I came in contact with. Many of them had to endure such difficulties in the hope that they would heal and recover for the future. I also see God in the workers and helpers who came to the hospital giving up their time and everyday activities to help those who are in need.”

Dear God Please give me the ability to see past my own viewpoint and the needs of myself. Help me to be open to selflessness. Lord, all I ask of you is to let me see, to open my ears and to respond to the cries of others. Let me feel the pain they are suffering and be sensitive to their needs. Help me open my heart so I can care for people that are not like me. Help me to love like you God. Amen Matthew Watson, Year 11.4 (Encounter Retreat)

KIMBERLEY IMMERSION 2007

A

boriginal people have had much publicity in the media over the past year which has presented many negative stereotypes of their life experiences. It is a cause for great concern that after over 200 years of contact with European people many of them still live in situations of extreme poverty and social disadvantage.

Aboriginal people have much to be proud of in their history, culture and present day achievements.

We have in our College over 30 Aboriginal students some of whom come from isolated aboriginal communities and Trinity has a long tradition of encouraging them to take up the opportunities our school has to offer them. Hopefully other students also come to appreciate and recognise what they have to offer our school. To further develop this mutually beneficial relationship Trinity College has launched in 2007, a bi-annual immersion experience in the Kimberley.

In July this year three students and two staff travelled to the Kimberley region to immerse themselves in the culture of Aboriginal people. It was an enlightening experience for Ben Tomasi (11.5), Christian Ruggiero (11.7) and Ian Chia (11.3) who, with the assistance of Mrs Marya Stewart and Mr John Jacky, learnt about the achievements and skills that Aboriginal people have to share with us, as well as the struggles and difficulties they have had to face.

We stayed at Jarrarr Buru (Our Place in Yawuru) sleeping on the floor of a converted classroom at St Mary’s Primary School. This meant our days started early when the children arrived at 7.30am for the Breakfast Club which was run by several parents. The boys helped out at St Mary’s Primary for three days working in the classrooms assisting teachers with student centred activities.

Most of our time in Broome involved working with Goolarri Media who coordinated all the activities for NAIDOC which runs for a two week period. The Trinity group was involved in setting up for the Opening Ceremony and the Awards Night where we also served food and acted as ushers for the presenters and awardees. Both these events were fantastic and we

had opportunities to hear presentations from Aboriginal leaders such as Pat Dodson and Peter Yu. Sr Pat Rhatigan, leader of the St John of God Sisters who are celebrating 100 years of working in the Kimberley, also shared some reflections on their relationship with Aboriginal people. Helping out at traditional food tasting events, film nights, photo displays and many educational and entertainment events gave us the opportunity to work with Aboriginal people and to learn from them about their culture. On many occasions we made contact with Trinity old boys such as the Pigram brothers who were very hospitable and willing to share their stories of growing up in Broome.

The group also spent time with Mr Tony Treacy, Principal of St Mary’s College, Mr Wayne Bergmann, Executive Director of Kimberley Land Council and Bishop Christopher Saunders. We attended Mass each Sunday at Broome Cathedral and participated in the celebration of Aboriginal Sunday.

We visited Beagle Bay and One Arm Point communities and camped out one night on the Dampier Peninsular where the boys caught fish and oysters which we cooked over the fire for dinner that night.

Each day ended with journal writing, reflection on the day’s experiences and prayer. Mr John Jacky provided wonderful inspiration for the immersion experience and the hospitality of his daughter and her family was greatly appreciated by us all.

What we discovered is that Aboriginal people are resourceful, resilient and capable. Many of the people we met are leaders in their own communities or responsible for running Aboriginal organisations.

NAIDOC is a celebration of aboriginal culture, lifestyle and achievement. We were able to experience that first hand at the many events we helped out with at the Kullarri NAIDOC Festival. It was an experience of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people coming together to enjoy each others company and to celebrate everything that is great about living together in Australia.

KAIROS #17 25-28 November, 2007

Reflections on an Experience erendipity is the word that comes to mind as I look back on my Kairos days. For me, the pleasant and surprising experience began one recent winter in Kolkata, India. Brother Rob Callen and his boys were visiting. During a quiet moment, when the boys had drifted off to bed, Rob and I were talking about retreats in general – a hobby-horse of mine. The whole concept of the Kairos retreat, though hinted at often by our mutual friend Jim, was new to me and I simply wanted to know more. Rob set out to tell me, but almost mid-sentence, he stopped, took a deep breath and proclaimed: ‘There is only one way to know Kairos – experience it.’ One thing led to another and by the time I headed for bed, my food for thought and dreams was the possibility that Trinity, Perth, would sponsor two Brothers to go and attend a Kairos retreat there, and I would be one of them.

S

130

Now the whole dream has become a splendid reality.

As it turned out, the second Brother, Addie Pinto, could not come along because his mum was seriously ill. I ended up in Perth alone and the great mystery of Kairos began to unfold, even as I left the airport. The Director of Kairos, Mr Leo Murray, picked me up and on our way to town Kairos was our only topic of conversation.

Next morning, I joined Leo in Campus Ministry at Trinity, and the discussions and preparation – five days of them, plus long hours at night studying the manual. By Sunday 25th Nov 2007, as we headed south to Rockingham, I was comfortably familiar with the process, at least in theory.

The boys arrived and like latter-day Caesars, ‘they came [bubbling with enthusiasm and expectancy] they saw [life’s truths in a new way] they conquered [their fears and the skills of sharing in deep and trusting

Year 12 Kairos Campus Ministry

ways].’ Fine fellows they are too, and it was an honour to be allowed into their circle, a first-timer like them, on the Kairos adventure…

They have gone their way now, the better for having been on Kairos. Things will never be the same again for them, and for me.

# 17

Back now in ‘chronos’ [as distinct from kairos] I am swallowed up once more in the daily routine. But bubbling away on the back burner are the precipitating memories of those Kairos days. For me it was something of a new lens experience. Life and ministry carry on, but somehow I see things differently. This newness will colour my future relationships with youth, particularly in the area of retreats. Already a dream is forming in my heart – the hope that one day Kairos will take root in India and offer new hope to thousands of young people there.

My friends have been asking me since my return: ‘Well what was it like? Tell us about Kairos.’ At one level I can say what happened there. At another, I have to say to them what Rob said to me in Kolkata: ‘Kairos is an experience – you’ve got to have it.’

That said, I will try to think out loud in an effort to capture the mystery of it all. Perhaps it’s best to focus first on more immediate observations.

Kairos doesn’t just happen. It requires a phenomenal amount of preparation and planning and above all, networking. Only as the Kairos days unfolded did it become apparent to me to what extent Leo and his team had orchestrated all the details and contacts, meetings, printing and logistics. Indeed, what stands out immediately is this whole concept of Team. Kairos is a team effort and very far removed from the one-manshow retreats that most of us were familiar with. It’s not only a team of adults, mind you, there are youth leaders playing a very significant role. Indeed, peer ministry is woven into the fabric of Kairos from start to finish.

Adults simply accompany these young leaders on their Kairos journey and affirm them in their leadership. Adult and student leaders alternate in handling the sessions in a delightfully balanced allocation of topics.

The team has to think and act as just that – a team.

Hence the need to meet regularly. We met no less than

nine times in the course of the retreat – not to mention many times before it. I understand there will be further meetings after the retreat to reflect on the whole enterprise.

Another impressive dimension was the involvement of parents. They wrote those significant letters and organised others to do the same. And they appeared secretly at the end to receive their sons in that very moving closing ceremony. I got the sense that this parental involvement meant a lot to the boys. They said as much during the forum meetings and also at the closing ceremony. Personally, I find it very satisfying psychologically. Past Kairosians and the present Principal threw their weight behind the retreat. Even the friends of the students did their bit by writing letters.

From beginning to end the message to the retreatants is clear: ‘You are not alone; you are important and precious; your mistakes are forgiven.’

Among the outstanding impressions is the tightness of the daily routine. The students are swept along from session to session, with no chance – and hopefully no inclination – to be distracted. Since sessions ran late into the night, there was very little energy left over for non-retreat considerations. There was of course a period of extended recreation each afternoon. A measure of the success of the routine was the fact that during the Group Interview the students could sit for six hours of deep sharing and soul-baring, even to the point of tears. I was hugely impressed.

Fr Michael, who generously travelled each day from Perth to Shoalwater for the liturgy, played a very significant part in the Kairos story. His Eucharists went straight to the heart, couched as they were in the idiom of the boys. For a man of advanced years, he is very much ‘with it’, and wonderfully close to the Trinity family.

131

Year 12 Kairos Campus Ministry

One thing that struck me was the healthy balance between solo activity, small group activity and full house activity. There was an equally healthy balance between writing and listening, between deep sessions and light-hearted ones, between adult and peer leadership.

From my experience in leading retreats I am of the opinion that the venue plays a very important part. I cannot speak for Moore River or other venues in the Perth area, but Shoalwater is a winner in my book.

Accommodation, infrastructure, location, catering were all of the highest class. Teenage boys are hard to please foodwise, but I did not hear a single complaint or murmur. We could not have asked for more. Congrats to Leo and those who negotiated such a conducive venue.

What shall I say of the manual? First, it is a wonderfully supportive structure that ensures the right things are said. It inspires confidence in the speakers, particularly the youth leaders. It is an accurate map of mysterious Kairos territory and it helps all involved to navigate a path around the possible pitfalls. Having said that, I must add that because it is so well written it is accompanied by the paradoxical danger that in becoming an end rather than a means, it might push the speakers into the very pitfalls it hopes to prevent. It is brilliant in that it offers speakers the appropriate content and makes very helpful suggestions. But in the absence of instructions to the contrary, most speakers read blindly what was printed before them, with the inevitable result that they sounded unconvinced and unconvincing. A slavish focus on the words hindered eye-contact.

Perhaps after a few more Kairos experiences I may change my view, but as of now I feel that the sessions would be greatly enhanced if the speaker mastered the content as outlined in the manual, but delivered it in his own words, without either lectern or manual in front of him. The same applies to an even greater degree to the adult speakers. While being fully true to its content, Leo and Kerrene were delightfully adept at putting the manual aside and speaking from the heart. Which explains the rapt attention whenever they spoke.

Rob and I have often joked about the Kairos Manual and its meticulous attention to detail, leaving not an iota to chance. And yet, if the Kairos retreat were to come to India, the first thing I would do would be to write a manual! The only liberty I would be inclined to take would be to encourage the speakers, after they had mastered the content, to deliver their speech without the manual. Those who read words from a page, touch the head. Those who speak words from the heart, touch the heart.

132

Another concern that gives me cause for thought is the expense involved in all the printing and support

material. There is no way that India could afford that and still retain credibility in the Christian community. A lot of thought will need to go into reasonable adaptation.

Did I enjoy my Kairos experience? Yes, hugely. Did I learn from it? Yes, very much. Do I feel it can be adapted for India? Yes, absolutely. My heart overflows with gratitude to Leo for all the painstaking efforts to keep me informed and properly guided. He is quite brilliant at his work and a great source of inspiration for the students and indeed for the team. His openness, integrity and genuine love of the boys give him the most extraordinary credibility. Marya is another in the same mould, complementing Leo with her motherly, feminine gifts. I come away hugely impressed.

One further point. I suspect that a lot of the success of Kairos is a direct overflow from a very vibrant, Christian spirit which seems to animate the whole Trinity campus.

I find the whole ethos of the College rooted in sound Christian and Edmundian principles. ‘When Christ comes back to earth do you think he will find any faith?’

I say, if he comes to Trinity, the answer is a resounding Yes. And so I return to my India, a new person, with an enhanced vision of possibilities. I leave Australia on a wave of gratitude to Trinity, to Leo and the Campus Ministry Team, to the 32 lads who swept me along on the Kairos pilgrimage, to Rob Callen who sowed the seed and to my own Superiors who freed me to nurture it. May all be rewarded abundantly with the blessings they so richly deserve.

Pilgrimage Through India Campus Ministry

Trinity’s Pilgrimage through India #8 “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart are restless until they rest in you.”

– St. Augustine

S

itting in the departure lounge at Kolkata Airport on that last night in India I looked at each of the nine boys slumped in their seats. They weren’t saying anything, and they looked exhausted. The fact that we had reached the end of the Indian odyssey was slowly sinking in. After 400 days of eager anticipation and thorough preparation, the 30 days of constant travel and frenetic activity had finished. We had at least one hundred new experiences every day! But now it was over. Although they were looking forward to reuniting with loved ones at home, the farewells from their new friends in MITHRA, Mandal and Kolkata had all been wrenching and sad. Here in the airport lounge, these tired pilgrims, each in his own way, were wrestling with so many mixed emotions, and trying to make sense of all that had happened.

Only one month before this, on the eve their departure for India, these boys had celebrated their Mass of Commissioning in the Trinity Chapel with their families and friends. As they received their mission crosses from Fr Michael, they were filled with excitement and apprehension.

They were nervous about leaving the comforts of home, yet they were thoroughly imbued with the idealism of youth as they embarked on the risks of the unknown. They were filled with a genuine desire to serve the poor. As we sang the processional hymn: “Here I am Lord,…

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go, Lord, if you lead me,” the words had a special poignancy that night.

Now, Trinity’s eighth Indian pilgrimage has come and gone. The months since we returned home have sailed past and the daily demands in our lives have completely absorbed our time, energy and attention. Only when we have some quiet time do we ask ourselves those key questions: “What was India all about for me?” “Was it just another one of the many thousands of new experiences in my life, or was it something more?” “How has India impacted on my daily living, or is it now just a fond memory?” The answers to these questions are personal and only each individual pilgrim is able to look into his own heart and know whether the experience of a four week immersion into India has made a difference.

-----ooo0ooo----There are so many stories that can be told about our time in India, but one that stands out in my memory occurred on our second last night in Calcutta. That night three of the boys returned to the dining room in the Brothers’ residence at about 11:30 p.m. They had been out with Jim McGinniss distributing blankets to the homeless living on the bleak railway stations in mid-winter. But rather than looking exhausted by this late night ministry they approached me with their eyes glistening and excitement in their voices.

They spoke with great urgency and passion as they informed me that they had brought home a disabled destitute man who was in need of urgent medical attention. They asked me whether we could accommodate him in the orphanage overnight and whether we could take him to Mother Teresa’s Home at Prem Dan for dying destitutes the next morning to enquire if we could have him admitted. I well remember my shock, but also my pride. How could I not be persuaded by these young sixteen year olds, whose hearts were burning with compassion for the poorest of the poor! Of course he must sleep in our residence, and of course we would try to get him help in the morning.

The following morning when I went to check on the man, already the boys were attending him and making sure he was warm and comfortable. They were not deterred by his inability to speak, nor his muscle spasms, nor his untreated wounds. They wrapped him in warm blankets and lifted him ever so carefully into a taxi. My vivid memory is of these boys holding him in their arms as though they held a special treasure. A certain calm and peace had come over the man, and from his eyes I knew that he knew he was safe and in good hands. When we arrived at Prem Dan, with Sister’s permission, our new friend was admitted where he was bathed, shaved and given the necessary medical treatment. For now he had a roof over his head and a warm bed and food.

This is just one episode from Trinity’s recent Pilgrimage through India. There were so many more that make me proud of these nine young men and two fellow teachers.

Each boy was challenged many times throughout the four week journey and each responded with generosity, compassion and courage. From that day back in August 2005 when they came into Campus Ministry with their application forms, and at every subsequent Friday lunchtime meeting for 15 months, and throughout the 30 days in India, each pilgrim has been totally committed to the dream of going to India and serving the poorest of the poor. They faithfully attended to all the preparations – medical, practical, and spiritual. They attended all the meetings including a Retreat together at North Beach and gradually they bonded together as a group as they shared their hopes and dreams as well as their deepest fears. They knew that India was going to be tough, and that the experience would test them, but they were determined to give it their best shot, knowing that they would learn much about their own strengths as well as their limitations.

Indeed, throughout the pilgrimage it was humbling for me to watch each boy push himself to his limits, particularly when the going was really tough. Each boy was confronted with many personal challenges. For a month they endured

137

Pilgrimage Through India Campus Ministry

many deprivations. They were confronted with strange food, basic bathroom facilities, a lack of privacy, personal laundry responsibilities, homesickness, delhi-belly (‘the dreaded lurgey” as we called it!) colds, the strain of group living, lack of sleep, constant travel, not to mention the challenges of their service work with severely disabled children, and the very sick and dying destitute men. All the comforts of home which we take for granted were just not available! But despite all of these hardships they kept each other’s spirits high and they persevered. I am very proud of just how each boy came to terms with his own limitations and weaknesses, and pushed himself to be more generous and loving, especially towards those who are not particularly attractive: the beggars, the destitutes, the deformed and the mentally impaired. Each night these boys came together for night prayer when they reflected on all that had happened to them during the day; the people they had encountered and the feelings they had experienced. They remembered Jesus’ parable of the Samaritan who didn’t think twice about serving someone in need. These boys truly understood that when they gave a cup of water to a disabled child at MITHRA, or to a dying patient in Prem Dan and Kalighat, it was Jesus on the cross who called out to them: “I thirst.”

-----ooo0ooo----Finally, I return to the reason for the Pilgrimage through India. It is sometimes asked, “Wouldn’t it be better to not send boys to India, but instead to use the money from their fares to directly benefit the poor!” This has always been a dilemma. And if such trips were simply tours of poverty or excursions to third world countries, then the answer would be a resounding “Yes”. But the real answer lies in the title: “Pilgrimage through India”. We call them “pilgrimages” because they are journeys with a sacred purpose, and they are “through” India, because they are very much about immersing ourselves in the life and culture of the people we seek to serve. There is no substitute for the daily encounter with the poor; those living at the margins of society. That’s why Mother Teresa used to say: “Give of your essence, not of your excess”.

In other words, it’s not about giving a donation to charity, but rather it’s about being in solidarity with people whom we get to know. To know the names of the children at MITHRA and Daya Dan; to feel genuine emotions for the dying man we nursed at Kalighat, Prem Dan or helped at the railway station, is to open ourselves to the possibility of conversion; to encounter Jesus in the crucified people of our world.

138

This group of pilgrims, like all previous groups, return home saying: “I went to India thinking I was going to give so much, but it was me who received so much from them!” This significant shift, is the realisation that the pilgrimage is not so much about going overseas to serve the poor, as it is a surprise discovery about one’s self – a journey of self-discovery – about our gifts, our limitations, our fears, our hopes, our frustrations, our patience; it’s a lesson that teaches us the limits of our generosity as we throw ourselves into something or when we held back. It’s about courage! Was I able to match my idealism with practice? What caused me to retreat into the comfort of western culture: music, movies, emails and gossip from home. How did I ‘embrace the people of India’? It’s about being amongst the poorest of the poor – the crucified people, and realising, as Mother Teresa said so eloquently – that that is when we encounter Jesus, in his most distressing disguise. It is we who are evangelized – we receive the good news from the poor.

We knew we were on holy ground when we walked among the poor who live in wretched conditions in Anna Nagar and Egmore in Chennai. Rather than looking miserable, these slum dwellers embraced us with smiles and welcomed us into their midst. We were amazed and uplifted. It seemed that this was the moment when we truly understood those words of Jesus: “Whatever you do for the least of these, my brothers and sisters, that you do unto Me!” Jesus is truly present in the severely disabled child at MITHRA and Daya Dan who reaches out to touch our hearts. Jesus is the poor child we encounter in the street; He is the countless and annoying beggars on the railway stations; He is the stranger along the way. Each night as we reflected on our experiences throughout the day, the boys were able to share just how much they felt God’s presence in everyone they met. These were all special and blessed moments.

Those special times were not just limited to our service opportunities. We felt his presence in the wonderful welcome we received from the simple tribal kids and their families in the hostel and villages of Mandal, Gujarat, and in the people we made an effort to meet in the remote mountains of Nepal as much as it is the lonely and destitute on the streets and railway stations and the dying in Kalighat and Prem Dan, and the severely disabled children at Daya Dan who miss out on adoption. All of these people have touched our lives. They have left an indelible mark on our souls. None of this would have been possible if we had stayed at home. We cannot simply forget them.

-----ooo0ooo----So it is little wonder to me that the boys, slumped in their seats at Kalighat airport on the night of our departure from India, had so much to contemplate. Whether they realised it or not, they have been changed. Large and small conversions had taken place in their hearts. They have come face to face with God. Just as those two disciples on their way to Emmaus encountered the stranger and only later realised they had been in the company of Jesus, so too, our pilgrims had encountered Jesus, and now their hearts were burning with this discovery. The Pilgrimage through India experience is about a way of living in the spirit of pilgrimage, a way of living that opens us to the unexpected encounter with Jesus in our daily life. We all have to return to our ‘normal’ lives. Few of us will feel called to serve God as radically as Mother Teresa. But we return home with our hearts on fire!

I wish to acknowledge the wonderful support given to me by my two fellow pilgrimage leaders: Mr Leo Murray and Mr Michael Slack-Smith. They were responsible for keeping the preparation happening whilst I was away in the USA. During the pilgrimage itself they were indispensable as co-leaders, fellow teachers and friends.

Their support was invaluable. And I wish to acknowledge their considerable sacrifice in leaving their own families over the Christmas period.

It is my prayer and hope that each young man who made the pilgrimage through India will always be a man of compassion. Who knows, maybe some may even return to India one day. May God continue to bless each pilgrim, and may the pilgrimage continue to motivate them to want to do more for the poor and powerless in our world.

Trinity pilgrims reflect on their experiences in India.

Nicholas Barbas: Although India is now a distant memory, each and every day I am reminded about one part of its beautiful culture. Whether it be the children in MITHRA and Mandal, the beaches of Goa, the sights of Delhi and Agra, the Himalayas in Nepal, the cows in Varanasi or the patients in Kolkata. The memory I seem to catch when I am thinking about India, however, is the amazing experience I spent with my mates helping those less fortunate than ourselves. The experiences in MITHRA and Kolkata, particularly, were only more fulfilling when there was a strong sense of brotherhood between all the pilgrims. In helping the poor, we learnt to take care of one another and value the importance of care and compassion in any friendship. I don’t really know if I learnt something about myself in India, perhaps it may have been finding the courage to feed a physically handicapped child, or dress a dying man’s infected wound, but I do know that I learnt more about life from the people we helped than I had ever learnt. I learnt that in life it is essential to be loved and cared for, nobody deserves to be lonely. I learned that without the compassion of human relationships, we are hollow and simply empty inside.

The experience that touched me most during India was the work at Prem Dam in Kolkata. It was awesome to see volunteers from every corner of the world come together to work in unity for the betterment of the dying destitute.

Although it was quite hard, and confronting at times, the satisfaction of knowing that a patient has been helped with the dignity and respect they deserve is priceless.

India has made me think differently about things in Perth.

One of the more significant things is that I seem to substantially value everything I have here at home. I also realise the magnitude of the world I live in, and Perth is nothing, compared to the rest of the world. I know it will be said countless number of times by the rest of the boys, but the pilgrimage was something I will never forget; an experience that has changed my way of thinking and the way in which I perceive the world. It was awesome.

trip, so well organised in a country where utter chaos is part of everyday living, and that’s all thanks to Br. Rob Callen, as well as Mr Leo Murray, Mr Michael Slack-Smith and Mrs Marya Stewart who kept it all together prepilgrimage.

There are some distinctive moments that stand out for me, especially the Madras Institute to Habilitate Retarded Afflicted (MITHRA), Daya Dan and Kalighat, although the rest of the Pilgrimage was just as fantastic. The work at these institutes was extremely rewarding, which again sounds textbook, but it’s no lie that you get out as much as you put in at these places. The boys quickly learned that once you immersed yourself in the work, the time flew by a little too quickly, and one moment that cemented this for me was Rosie’s emotional exit from MITHRA. At the end of every stint, whether it be at Daya Dan, MITHRA, Kalighat or Prem Dan (where Nicholas, Eddie and Rob went for our time in Kolkata), everyone was a bit down, because there were so many friendships made, and so many people you wanted to get to know. At the same time, however, we felt we had fully accomplished something, hoping we had made a difference to the patients or students, and knowing they had made an impact on each and every one of us.

There was a totally different side to the Pilgrimage as well, just as enjoyable in its own way, which was our “break time” in Nepal and Varanasi. This was time off around Christmas, which allowed us to enjoy another country altogether, reflect on our time in India so far, and recharge for our last week of work in Kolkata. We enjoyed Kathmandu, with its friendly people and fantastic views of the Himalayas far off in the distance, then bussed around Nepal, first to an island in Chitwan National Park, then to Daman. Seeing the wildlife in Chitwan was amazing and refreshing as, apart from livestock in Mandal, we hadn’t had a huge dose of nature for a while. All of Nepal was fantastic; they have a huge religious base, mainly Buddhist, and are very devoted to their religion. During the last few days in Kathmandu we celebrated Christmas, which was different away from our families, but a spiritual and jolly time all the same.

My experiences on the Trinity College Pilgrimage to India are ones that I will never forget. Those words are what everyone is expected to say when they return, but I mean it and I know the other boys feel the same. It was the closest I could imagine to a perfect

My most valued parts of the Pilgrimage were definitely the institutes where we worked, as well as the travel and generally the atmosphere created by such a good group of boys. I managed to make new friendships and strengthen old ones, and myself and those boys are just as enthusiastic about the India experience now as we ever were, as it has made such a lasting impact on us all.

India is a place where I have no regrets going, and am eager to return to as soon as possible.

Pilgrimage Through India Campus Ministry

Jerome Davenport: I think about India quite often, every time I look at a picture or just getting on a bus or train because that all brings back many treasured memories especially when someone complains about how packed it is on the school bus! The children and people of India are the memories I like to think over because they were so amazing and full of joy when all they might have had was a rag to lie on or a piece of cardboard. I learnt a lot about myself in India especially how I interact with people and those whom I usually wouldn’t talk to or associate with.

But India taught me to accept those young children as well as unfortunate people whom I wouldn’t usually look at twice.

The experience that touched me most in India was during our time in Calcutta at Kalighat – the home for the destitute sick and dying. I was walking between a row of the beds when an old man waved me over and asked me to kneel beside him. At this point I was curious as to what he was doing. Then he blessed me. He asked me my name with the little English he knew and blessed me. I was speechless because he was the one who was sick and dying. And he blessed me! I know I’ve been blessed by priests before, but it was nothing like this! This was God to me, probably the first time I’ve felt God. This was where I found my most touching experience.

My pilgrimage through India has definately made me think about the way we act in Perth. We are the monsters of the world. We eat everything up and these people have nothing. People think they do something by giving an organisation a dollar a day, but you know nothing of the reality of what is happening in our world until you see it for yourself. I feel every person should experience poverty once in their life. It will shock them to the bone, but they will realise just how fortunate we are.

out the less able before themselves. One boy comes to my mind in particular he would help feed some of the children at each meal time before attending to his own needs and help dress the other children in the morning.

The friendships that I built with the children in Chennai and also the patients in Kolkata at both Kalighat and Prem Dan will never be forgotten.

James Grierson: India was the most amazing experience of my life. When I think back to it, the things that grab my memory most are all of the people and the general happiness and joy they brought to me. I think of the people just on the street that I got to meet, and also the people we were working with in close contact. I see wonderful, bright colours and amazing monuments that grab my attention when thinking about India. In India I learned that I was not really the one who was giving when I try to help someone, whether it be in Perth or India. It’s the person I am giving to who is really giving to me. I think I also developed a greater tolerance for other peoples’ needs. Every day in India there were over 100 amazing experiences, yet the experience that touched me most in India was my relationship with a young boy called Vamilraj at MITHRA. It was extremely hard to have a conversation with him, yet it felt as if we understood each other through hand signals. As I put my thumbs up and smiled, he would put his up, put his hand next to mine and grin, even as he was coughing. This was powerful to me. Since returning to Perth, I do think differently about some things. I now do not see the poor, sick or destitute as a class or group with whom I can’t relate. I feel I can interrelate with any human being. I think I am also more relaxed about nearly everything here in Australia, as a lot of things do not seem to matter to me as they did before.

Aaron Jenkins:

Robert Faraone: When I reflect on my time in India I can’t help but remember my first impression of India when I walked out the airport doors in Chennai and was hit by the culture.

Chennai was an amazing experience helping the children at MITHRA was unbelievable. Whilst going there to help them learn and to enjoy each other’s presence outside of the classroom it was noticeable that the children are always looking out for each other and are the best of mates with each other. They have no enemies.

The children taught me to be a giver, by helping others, through watching the more physically able children help

The pilgrimage gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in a totally different culture. The number of people in the streets, the severe poverty, the different food and smells of India, the amazing buildings, temples and mosques. The children in MITHRA, so disabled, so deprived yet they always had smiles on their faces. They taught me to be happy and smile much more than I taught them. I was way out of my comfort zone when I first fed a disabled boy in MITHRA, however after a few goes it became a lot easier. We had the best time during our R&R in Goa, and riding the elephants in Nepal. I hated being restricted on a budget there were so many amazing things I wanted to buy.

The experience that touched me the most was in Kolkata at the Orphanage in Daya Dan. I met and helped a disabled 4 year old boy called Joe. He had over developed ADHD, his eyes sparkled and he responded so well when I played with him. Nothing is ever what it seems, some people are honest some are not, I have learned to question and trust my own instincts, I am now a much more confident traveller.

On reflection I wish I had done more Christian Service and less travelling around. I plan to return to India within the next 5 years and do some volunteer work at Kalighat the home of the destitute and dying. I said this to a teacher at school and he said “It is one thing saying it but it is another actually doing it” I have been taught by my parents, if I make a commitment to something I have to make every effort to follow it through. If it is God’s will, I will return to India as a volunteer.

noticed, they would want to be in it. In Egmore, some of the poorest slums in Chennai, all the kids were so happy to see us, – something I didn’t expect. Going into the slums I assumed people wouldn’t be as friendly as they were, but I was very wrong! The people there would have been happy for me to take pictures of, and with them, all day. It would be these memories of happy faces as well as all the memories of MITHRA, Mandal, Kalighat and Daya Dan that I treasure and think of the most.

My time in India has made me reconsider what I want to do once I have finished school. When I was in Kolkata I talked to volunteers who had been there for months; some even staying up to a year. This made me think, ‘Would I be able to do that?’ But also it made me ask: “How could I use what I study at Uni to serve at MITHRA, Kolkata or somewhere else!”

Dean Savage-Morton:

Eddie O’Connell: The pilgrimage through India was without doubt the greatest experience of my life. I had never been overseas before which made it even more of an ‘eye opener’ for me as I immersed myself in a wonderful new culture. Since I have returned home not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought and reflected on my experiences on the pilgrimage.

It is the small, everyday activities that I partake in that really grab my attention. In particular, the activities that are not freely available to the average boy in India, such as high level educational opportunities, employment opportunities, etc. When I do this, I think back to all of the people back in India who still find happiness and joy without these opportunities that I am given. The reason that this grabs my attention is not to realize how lucky I am here in Perth, it is because I am envious of the joy and happiness expressed by an average family living in India without these luxuries. Witnessing this joy in almost everyone that I interacted with was the aspect of the pilgrimage that touched me the most. Experiencing this has also made me look differently on myself and almost everyone that I know living in Perth. I believe that everyone should aspire to find happiness in there lives the way that I saw in India, through family and friends rather than X-boxes and new wide-screen TV’s.

Tom Rose:

For me the Indian Pilgrimage has been the best experience of my life and I would go back tomorrow if I could. What I remember most about my time in India is that wherever I went, as soon as I starting taking pictures and someone

Well I guess for me going to India was a chance to experience a side of my heritage relatively unknown to me. But when we arrived in Chennai I realised that I was going to get much more from this journey than just a chance to see my heritage. Often, now, when I think about India I realise that we in Australia have everything we need to live a full and happy life, yet we always feel that we need more and more to be satisfied. This is not the case in India. Over there they have nothing, yet they lead much happier lives than we do. In my journal I have a quote form the Dalai Lama: “I frequently travel around India and have come across a lot of people who have led a very impoverished material life and whose health was worse off than mine, but they were living a far happier life than the wealthy people I have met.” Upon my return to Perth I now realise and appreciate the full meaning of those words.

Leo Murray: When I catch myself thinking about India, I remember many people everywhere, a tremendous vibrancy, lots happening, movement, noise, colour, smells….

I remember waiting for a train to Kolkata at night near Varanasi. Because of fog in Delhi, all trains were delayed and we weren’t sure if and when our train would arrive.

One train was delayed for at least fourteen hours. While we waited, we saw so much life happening around us.

Beggars were approaching us, hoping for a little something. People were walking up and down the platform selling their wares – fruit, water, food, shining shoes, an amazing variety of goods. Other permanent

Pilgrimage Through India Campus Ministry

stalls were very busy also. As the night got colder, some people settled down to sleep for the night. A cow wandered past, followed by several dogs. When things were quiet, rats ran along the tracks. Trains arrived and left, teeming with people. More than 26 million people travel by train in India every day and many of them were moving through Varanasi that night. When one train arrived at our platform hundreds of people tried to squeeze on to the already crowded train, but people onboard refused to open the doors. There were scuffles and shouts and protests but the passengers already in carriages refused to yield. As the train moved off, people were clinging on to windows and doors, still hoping to gain entry. We only had to wait three hours for our train and got on board without a struggle.

I trust in God that everything will be alright. It is an act of faith to accompany nine young people to India, to support them in their experience in a very different culture. I was able to have confidence in them that they would give of their best and they did that. I am much more patient than I once was. I embraced the experience and loved the food, meeting people in such varied circumstances and receiving very generous hospitality. I was prepared to listen, observe and enjoy without trying to impose solutions.

One afternoon in Kalighat, the home of the dying, I spent a long time with a man who was suffering a severe asthma attack. The doctor who examined him said that this man was not getting any air to his lungs. The nurse told me to stay with him, to try to help him to be calm and to encourage him to breathe. I held him and massaged him and spoke to him for hours. At the end he was able to breathe again. For me it was exhausting, but for him it was a death to life experience.

In Perth, life is very well organised in comparison with India. Shopping precincts and roads do not seem at all crowded. I appreciate even more how good things are for my children and I thank God for our decision to raise our family here. Any concerns I have seem very unimportant compared to the harsh reality that so many people face in India very day.

the suburbs in Australia, are we that generous and friendly to strangers? India was my reminder!

Br Rob Callen: The title we gave this pilgrimage through India was “Hearts On Fire”, and it seems now so apt.

When I look back and think about the thirty days we spent in India during the Christmas holidays I think of a group of young men who were so fired up with the goodness and generosity to take on every new and difficult challenge before them.

I look back with pride as I see these nine Trinity boys throwing themselves into the tasks of daily washing clothing and feeding the severely disabled children at MITHRA. These boys were well and truly out of their comfort zones but they gave their all. And when I think of the ways in which they embraced the tribal children from the villages of Mandal and the ways they tried to be culturally sensitive when sharing the deprivations of village life staying overnight and sharing a single bed or a mat on the floor, I feel very proud.

The same story can be told many times over. Surely it was their deep faith and enormous goodness and generosity that enabled them to rise at 4:15 a.m. each morning in Calcutta to attend Mass at Mother Teresa’s Motherhouse and then to fan out across Calcutta with other volunteers to work in the challenging homes for this world’s most wretched. Yes, I reflect on this last Pilgrimage through India and I think of these boys and the teachers and I thank God for them. They were indeed “men for others”. They were men whose hearts were on fire with a passion to make a difference in this world. And I pray now that no matter where life may lead them, their “India experience” will enable them always to be men of great compassion most especially for the poorest of the poor!

Michael Slack-Smith: Often to understand yourself you need to experience something different. India, the good and the bad, was one of those experiences for me. Two things struck me in particular: the public spirituality and the generosity of many of the people we met. Temples in the street, people praying at shrines; it’s everywhere. Where is this in Australia? Are we too embarrassed? We experienced many generous actions from the Indian people, from rickshaw drivers buying us chai; burning Indian pop CD’s and friendship.

The importance of the visual arts at this school is not only to stimulate our visual senses, but expand our intellectual capacity. Through the arts we learn to visually perceive the world more fully and appreciate the underlying perception of all people around us.

We are recreating nature and life, and developing meaning from what we may have overlooked. It is an expression, a stimulant and a place in our own company that we can find peace with what we hold dear. The arts are a vital part of development, intellectually and spiritually as we recreate the world around us.

hrough the process of art-making students explore new ideas and new worlds that provide us with insight into their minds and enable us to view life from another perspective. These thoughtprovoking student works have been showcased in a range of art exhibitions during 2007, including the very successful combined art and music nights, Senior Arts Night and Contemporary Music Night, providing pleasant viewing and entertainment for the Trinity community.

Trinity students also had their work displayed in highly prestigious local art exhibitions including the Angelico Art Exhibition for Catholic School Students, held at the Forrest Centre in St Georges Terrace. Congratulations go to James McKenna (Year 12.7) for winning the Fra Angelico Award for his painting ‘Angels have wings hidden by the sun’. Other students with artworks selected for inclusion in this exhibition were Liam Dee (Year 12.2), Patrick Giles (Year 12.4), Jeremy Eaton (Year 12.2) and Jack McAuliffe (Year 12.2), all of whom are to be commended on their achievements.

The standard of student artwork was very high this year.

Our Student Art Exhibition held at the Perth Concert Hall, provided some insight into their creativity, in particular the Year 12 cohort. The annual Year 12 Signum Fidei Art Award, a prestigious prize sponsored

by Old Boy Patrick Coward (Class of ‘81) with the aim to encourage our art students in their artistic endeavours, was a highlight of the evening. This year the award was judged by Iona Presentation College Head of Art Mrs

Congratulations also to Alex Antoniazzi for winning the Year 11 prize and Liam Dee (Year 12.2) who won the People’s Choice Art Award for the second consecutive year. Tim Mettam (Year 10) is congratulated for winning this year’s Adelphe King Prize for Drawing, sponsored by former Trinity art teacher and supporter of the visual arts, Mrs Adelphe King.

Thank you to our sponsors who continue to provide support for our art students. Congratulations to every art student this year for their enthusiasm and achievements in art. May these talented students continue to provide us with interesting and thought provoking perspectives to stimulate and invigorate our senses.

GIG (Guys in Groove) arly in Term One a surprisingly large number of boys gathered to participate in the break dance workshops conducted by Mr Richard Seidel. The boys discovered parts of their bodies they’d never utilised before and Ms Ruth Bott moved these energetically to Performing Arts Coordinator Richard’s funky soundtracks.

GIG members had the opportunity to work with their own choreographic ideas, collaborating beautifully in groups. These sessions gave me the opportunity to see the strengths of the boys and how we might use these for the year’s major dance production.

E

The upcoming major dance project for GIG was unique in that it had GIG and BIG (Boys in Groove) members dance together for the first time. It was a successful concept that allowed for the development of a very dynamic form of artistic expression. Being able to incorporate the strength and leadership of the senior boys with the lively junior dancers allowed for exciting choreographic scope. A highlight for me was watching forty-eight Junior and Senior boys working together in small groups in Gibney Hall one Wednesday morning.

I had asked each GIG member to join with two BIG dancers and experiment with counterbalance. The boys began by introducing themselves then moved on to experimenting with weight, strength and creativity.

The end result was incredible and witnessing the process even more inspiring. A cherished moment for this choreographer.

And so i–fly was born, a dance work I imagined while travelling throughout Europe in Term Two. The project saw BIG and GIG dancing together exploring balance, propulsion and turbulence. This contemporary item was performed at a series of concerts and venues in Semester Two. The first of these performances was at Trinity’s inaugural contemporary arts show, Outside Edge. The GIG members danced superbly and in so doing were excellent advocates for dance and the performing arts as a mode of expression at school and amidst society. The members of the community were buzzing with excitement at the successful and novel combination of BIG and GIG.

As an extension to this year’s dance program and as another first for the College, two senior members from GIG choreographed their own dance piece with my assistance. These talented dancers, Richard Sorriba and Bennet Moran, were able to combine their great friendship, athleticism and love of dance to produce a dynamic item entitled Symbiotic. Dancing to the solid sounds of Kanye West, Bennett and Richard astounded all when they performed at both Outside Edge and the Middle School Assembly in Semester Two. It was a superb initiative, one that has inspired all dancers and would-be dancers across all years at Trinity College.

Further opportunities arose for GIG to perform this year’s major dance piece at the International ACHPER Conference held at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle during the October holidays. The boys displayed maturity and professionalism, dancing beautifully with BIG at this event where they were invited as guests.

GIG’s final performance with BIG was at this year’s Senior Speech Night at the Perth Concert Hall on 25th October. It was a wonderful opportunity for the Trinity staff, students and wider community to experience BIG and GIG’s performance of i–fly. The audience responded enthusiastically and I discovered later that some of the teachers and students were also dancing in their seats to the sounds of DJ Shadow, Mr Oizo and The Chemical Brothers. This event was the last time Year 12 student Aaron Jenkins would dance with us. Aaron will be remembered as the first student to dance every year both as a junior boy in BIG and senior dancer in GIG since I began the dance program in 2002. Aaron has worked hard to develop his dance technique and I wish him all the best as he pursues a life of dance.

Dancing as a senior boy at Trinity College requires a strong inner belief and a determination to dance for its own sake. Congratulations to all GIG members for demonstrating leadership, strength of character and above all a desire to develop your creative expression.

Your inspiring dancing, steadfast commitment and the message you project that dancing is fun have resulted in the recruitment of more boys for next year. As a choreographer, who could wish for a better GIG? Ms Ruth Bott Performing Arts Coordinator

Design and Technology Academic

I

often wonder how Trinity College operated without the existence of the Treacy Technology Centre. We continually have groups of Old Boys visiting our Department who are in awe of the excellent facilities our students now have for Design and Technology Mr Ray Archibald education. They usually Head of Design and Technology have the same comments: “I wish we had these practical areas when I was at Trinity” and “How fortunate our students are today.”

It is now seven years since construction and the Treacy Centre is operating to full capacity. Students have also been spending extra time before and after school and at lunchtimes completing practical projects or using computer software to generate technical drawings or manufacture complex shapes on our Laser Cutter.

This year has seen the completion of the new Engineering Studies course for our Year 12 students for the first time. At the time of writing this article they are about to sit the new Course of Study examinations and we wish them well. In the practical part of this course students designed and manufactured an Electric Vehicle which competed in the WA Electric Vehicle Challenge at Swan TAFE. In other Year 12 courses students completed models of architecturally designed houses in Technical Graphics, speaker sound systems in Applied Technology and electronic model robot arms and forklifts in Systems Technology.

Year 11 Engineering students designed and built remote control cars and in Applied Technology made projects ranging from flat pack furniture to sand boards.

Technical Graphics students used IronCAD and Autocad software to complete a range of machine components, house plans and geometric designs.

Year 10 Design and Technology Materials students manufactured a diverse range of projects including laminated furniture, cabinets, wall clocks, rocking chairs and guitars. Engineering Systems students have designed cars using mousetraps as the power source and completed a range of electronics projects.

Our Middle School students made a range of items including desk tidy clocks, logo money boxes, CO2 cars, junior hacksaws, candle lanterns and wall plaque key holders – to name a few!

I think our Old Boys have got it right – “How fortunate our students are today.”

2007 WA Electric Vehicle Challenge On Saturday, 27 October a group of our Year 12 students competed in a race held at Swan TAFE with an electric vehicle which had been designed and manufactured by the class. This project was a component of the new Course of Study for Engineering Studies and was the first time that Trinity had entered this event. We finished the one hour endurance race in a very creditable fourth place and congratulations must go to team members Sam Cadwallander, Liam Dee, Guy Dryka, Chris Andrawes, and Dean Foley. This was an excellent result considering that twenty five vehicles started the Challenge. Thanks also to our Technician Mr Phillip Bloomfield who helped the students with his expertise both on the day and at school.

Mr Anthony Byrne Head of English and LOTE

he attentions of the English Department, and seemingly a significant cross section of the media, have been on the New Courses of Study in 2007 with English and Engineering being the first subject areas this year at Year 12 level to implement the course and experience Tertiary Entrance Examinations in this new format.

The Department has been conscious of preparing our senior students for every eventuality and endeavouring to ensure the anxiety surrounding these courses was not unduly imparted to our students in what is already a stressful time. However the continued development of our Middle School curriculum remains a focus. Our Year 8 students have read a range of print texts over the course of the year and have recently undertaken units in poetry and the fantasy genre. The Year 9 students have studied the feature film Gattaca at length in promoting visual literacy, which continues to grow in terms of emphasis in our New Courses of Study. Our Year 10 students have recently delved into the life of Ned Kelly and examined how his character has been represented in a variety of mediums in order to address whether Ned Kelly was a hero or a villain. Literature

students had the opportunity to see the Bell Shakespeare’s production of Macbeth and prior to this a performance of Othello, such experiences reinforcing the power and immediacy of live theatre.

Finally congratulations to a number of students who competed in a range of public speaking competitions over the course of the year. The capacity of these students to go beyond their schooling, sporting and extra-curricular commitments to compete demonstrates their genuine desire to maximise the opportunities that the Trinity College dynamic provides.

The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. ( B. B. King)

T

his year the Education Support Department has seen further changes with Mrs Marie Zwart leaving to Ms Lissa Coleman take a position at Newman Director of Education Support College. I was appointed Director of Education Support and took up the challenge of this rewarding role with great enthusiasm but some trepidation. It is a demanding, intensive but exhilarating job that fills every moment of every day. The staff of the Education Support Department were welcoming and helpful, as every day brought new questions and new problems to solve.

I was conscious of the need to uphold the Edmund Rice tradition but also to bring my own particular stamp to the Mary Rice Centre. My teaching background is in primary teaching with extensive experience in literacy so I was confident of my ability to assist students with those needs. However, I also wished to make the Mary Rice Centre a place where students could seek help, whether academic or personal, and set about inviting individuals and groups to utilise this rich resource. The Centre always seems to be full of boys working quietly, asking for assistance with assignments or just seeking a sympathetic ear for a few minutes. It can be a safe haven for some students.

At Trinity College, the Education Support team provides many services to the whole school. We support students from Years 4 to 12 in striving for equity in opportunity and excellence in educational outcomes. We identify actual and potential barriers to individual learning and assist students to access the curriculum with modified programs or differentiated curriculum. The range of strategies we use encompasses identification of individual learning needs; providing options for extension and enrichment; collaborative planning and support for teachers; individual education plans; curriculum adjustment plans and individual case management.

Outside the Education Support team other key personnel who help provide this support are the College Psychologist, the Aboriginal Liaison Officer, the Aboriginal Liaison Assistant and the College Chaplain.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank these people for their unflagging assistance, friendship and support over the last nine months. They have offered priceless advice and their generosity of spirit has been humbling.

After nine months in the role I have identified some areas where we could better serve our students and

teachers and I am already planning for next year. I believe early identification of issues and difficulties will enable more efficient case management and programs tailored to meet individual needs. I also believe that clear communication and up-to-date information for staff will ensure the most apposite program for individual students. The transition from Year 7 to Year 8 has been another focus for the Education Support Centre and data collection and case management have resulted in students feeling better prepared to enter Trinity College.

Junior, Middle and Senior School At Trinity we have a wonderfully dedicated staff in all areas, whose genuine interest and concern for their students ensures that the very best educational opportunities are offered to all. These wonderful people make my role of developing an approach of identification, intervention and monitoring students that much easier.

Case management meetings and IEP development is always successful when support and assistance is offered so graciously.

On a more personal note I would like to thank all the people who have supported me in this new role and also the Leadership Team for allowing me to have this wonderful opportunity. The Heads of Year, Heads of Learning Areas and Heads of Junior, Middle and Senior Schools have all worked closely with me and have kindly welcomed me into their world. Mrs Gerri Vanpraag and Mrs Karen Tyler (Education Assistants) have made an extraordinary effort to support and assist me and I thank them very much; this has ensured the smooth operation of the Department. I would also like to thank Ms Anneliese Smith for her invaluable advice and for lending me her extensive expertise whenever I ask for it.

I look forward to next year with all the new ideas I have for the Department. It has been a wonderful, amazing journey in 2007. A thought that has sustained me for this year has been: Success is the sum of small efforts – repeated day in and day out (Robert Collier).

007 has been a year of consolidation for the Information Technology Department along with continuing our program of upgrading classrooms with improved access to technology.

To address teacher requests for more classroom audio visual equipment we have installed data projectors, screens and speakers into eight more classrooms this year (including two more interactive electronic whiteboards in the Junior School). This brings the number of rooms that have AV equipment to twentyeight. With the proceeds of the Trinity Springtime Fair going towards new AV equipment, teachers and students will have excellent access to AV facilities throughout much of the College in 2009.

Mr William Quartermaine Director of Information and Communication Technology

Other areas receiving IT improvements include: • • • • •

eighteen new student laptops for the Science Learning Area; the refurbishment of the IT computing laboratory; a new four computer mini-laboratory in the Physical Education area for video editing; a new eight computer mini-laboratory for the Senior Enterprise Program; and a digitising station in the Senior Library to convert analogue data to digital data.

Software Development Our database development continues by focusing on our assessment and reporting system and a combined Trinity College/Trinity Old Boys community database

management system. The assessment and reporting software continues to evolve as fast as the curriculum changes and our community database has great potential for organising and streamlining Old Boy contact data.

To reflect the students’ growing interest in digital media we have purchased new video editing and graphics software suites. Boys have been creating high quality videos using this software including a terrific effort by a group of boys who produced the Year 12 Graduation video.

Staff We welcomed Mr Lance Cooper to the IT team this year.

Lance is the new Help Desk Technician whose role it is to help staff and students when they have a technical problem. Lance brings the right attributes to this position and he has been well received by staff and students alike. Lance works with our Network Manager Mr Neil Seaman who continues to provide the technical expertise that keeps the College network running efficiently.

Mr Roger Blatchford has introduced the new Applied Information Technology course of study to Trinity. As usual Roger has done this in a highly professional and dedicated manner. Roger is also doing an outstanding job in developing and maintaining the College website.

He puts countless hours into keeping this website current, informative and highly professional.

Mr Richard Cackett has been a teaching member of the IT Department for twelve years. Richard leaves us at the end of this year to take up a position at a new school. Richard’s teaching practice and classroom management have been outstanding and the boys will miss his technical expertise and considerate nature. In addition to his teaching duties, Richard has been heavily involved in the technical and services side of the IT Department. He started the College website and continued its development for many years. He has also developed software to be used in Christian Service, and various sports and retreats. Richard was especially prominent when the College built its first school-wide network. His technical expertise, hard work, dedication and knowledge were invaluable then and have continued to be valued and respected over the years.

Richard has left his mark on the College and I wish him all the best for the future.

Mr Jean-Marc Rousset Italian

he Year 8 students celebrated Pasqua by tasting the Colomba cake and Natale by sharing the Panettone. Buon Appetito!

The highlight of the Year 9 cultural experience was the traditional lunch held at Caffé Amaretto. My sincere thanks go to Mrs Casella, the mother of Adam, for organising the most beautiful pranzo.

The students had the opportunity to put into practice their speaking skills when ordering from the waitresses.

The Year 10s and 11s will be recorded in the Italian “archives” as creating history by being the first groups to start the new Courses of Study in 2008. The Year 10s will undertake Stage 1 and the Year 11s Stage 2.

The Year 11s hosted two guest chefs at the College to cook some Italian pasta as part of their program. Our sincere thanks go to Lisa and John Calabro, Joe’s parents, who made this event possible.

I would also like to thank Lisa for helping out with the oral examinations for Year 11 and 12.

My best wishes go to the Year 12 students: Buona fortuna per il futuro.

F

rom 31st March to 30th April, a combined group of eleven students and two teachers from Trinity College and All Saints College set off to Italy on a language tour of a lifetime. Attending Centro Linguistico Italiano Dante Alighieri for three weeks expanded our Italian beyond measure. Living with Italian host families and enjoying many day trips in and around Florence helped us to absorb all the culture, food and fun of the country. During the final week of our trip we stayed in hotels in Venice and Rome where we saw all the wonders of the ancient cities. These wonderful experiences will remain with us for ever and we would highly recommend this trip to students who have the opportunity to go.

n 2007 we continued to make physical changes, making the Library more user friendly and creating an open environment where students can come and work, read or play chess. We purchased round desks for the boys to use in the Ms Luciana Cavallaro computer area making Teacher Librarian the Library much more functional and allowing students to sit and work.

I have continued the Reading Program with the English Department and in turn the number of classes participating in the program has increased. Students are reading more frequently and many are coming to request books they would like the Library to purchase.

I have created a Library Intranet designed for the educational needs of the College and students which can be accessed at home via the College internet: click on the College intranet site, go to ‘College Links’ and scroll down to ‘Library’. The aim is for students, parents and staff to have access to information pertinent to assignments.

At the end of Semester One we said goodbye—a very sad one—to Mrs Catherine Hamilton who has relocated to Queensland to be closer to her son and enjoy a new chapter in her life. Mrs Nicole Davey is our new Library Assistant and has smoothly entered the Trinity College life and is a wonderful addition to the Senior Library.

She has instigated a new trend by introducing literacy competitions in which students have eagerly participated.

On 18th September 2007 we were very fortunate to have renowned authors Kevin J Anderson and his wife

Rebecca Moesta come and spend some time talking about their latest writing projects. Kevin and his wife were on tour in Australia promoting his latest series The Saga of the Seven Suns.

Kevin has written many books including the Star Wars series, The X-Files, and Dune. He has also spent a great deal of time writing graphic novels. His latest release is called The Last Days of Krypton, a story based on the planet where Superman was born.

Rebecca has written a fantasy series called the Crystal Door Trilogy due out in 2008 and has written books in the Buffy series, Young Jedi Knights Series, Titan A.E. and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I would like to take this opportunity to say goodbye and thank you to all who have made me feel very welcome in the last eighteen months. A special thank you to Mrs Jenni Properjohn, Mrs Catherine Hamilton and Mrs Nicole Davey, who have welcomed and supported me during this time at Trinity College. Without them I would not have been able to accomplish all that I had planned. To Mr Douglas Simpson and Mr Kevin Johns, thank you, the library has been a better place with you in it.

Mathematics Academic

his has been a significant year for the level of student participation in mathematical competitions and the outstanding results achieved.

Throughout this year we have had students in each of the following competitions: Have Sum Fun (Junior and Senior), Have Sum Fun Online, Year Mr Geoff Jamieson 10 Games Camp, Australian Head of Mathematics Mathematics Competition (AMC), AMC Maths Challenge Stage, AMC Intermediate Olympiad, Maths Talent Quest, National Maths Talent Quest and WA Junior Maths Olympiad.

T

The following summarises just the very best of the results.

Many students who performed exceptionally well are not mentioned here, such was the volume of outstanding performances.

AMC 6 Prize winners: Calum Braham, Jonathan Chung-WahCheong, Siddanth Sharma, Aristo Wibowanto, James Marocchi and Liam Roche Our students also achieved 14 High Distinctions, 76 Distinctions and 148 Credits.

AMC Maths Challenge Stage High Distinctions: Jack Dewsbury, Adrian Maydwell and Calum Braham There were also 7 Distinctions and 21 Credits for this competition.

AMC Intermediate Olympiad High Distinctions: Calum Braham and Jack Dewsbury Distinction: James Marocchi Credit: Adrian Maydwell For this competition entry is by invitation only.

Maths Talent Quest (State level) 1st prize: Jack Dewsbury, Calum Braham and Danny Caddy for their Year 8 topic Mathematically Interesting Number Plates 2nd prize: Year 8 Will French 2nd prize: Year 9 Sam Carbone and John Malkovic Two other groups received Highly Commended awards.

Maths Talent Quest (National level) Merit award: Jack Dewsbury, Calum Braham and Danny Caddy for their project.

WA Junior Maths Olympiad Individually Calum Braham shared equal first prize with a student from Scotch College and another from Perth Modern School. All three students had perfect scores. Calum received the “Department of Mathematics and Statistics (Curtin University) Award for Excellence”.

Jack Dewsbury also received a merit award.

In the team’s event our Year 8 team shared equal first prize with a Year 9 team from Rossmoyne SHS and another Year 9 team

from Hale School. The Trinity College team consisted of Calum Braham, Jonathan Chung-Wah-Cheong, Jack Dewsbury and Siddanth Sharma. They received the “School of Engineering & Mathematics (Edith Cowan University) Award for Excellence”.

I am so impressed with the high level of participation, the very high standards our students demonstrate and the endeavour shown to reach those standards.

Year 11 student Dannel Yeo was chosen to attend the 40th National Mathematics Summer School held in Canberra from 6–19 January 2008. This is the oldest and most prestigious Summer School of its type in Australia.

Participation is restricted to about 75 students. The program is for the discovery and development of mathematically gifted and talented Secondary School students from all over Australia. To gain selection Dannel put together a very comprehensive and professional application.

This year our Year 8 students were treated to the Maths Roadshow for the first time. It proved to be quite entertaining and something future Year 8 students can anticipate seeing.

All students throughout the College have access through the internet to the computer based Mathletics program.

Teachers are incorporating Mathletics as part of the teaching/learning program. It can be used for homework, revision, extension and assessment preparation. The online Mental Maths competition often sees many intense struggles between students. We have a three year deal for the use of this program to continue.

This year also saw Mr Rom Cirillo depart to the Curriculum Council after having ten productive years as Head of Mathematics. Rom had a very positive impact on the standard of mathematics at Trinity and still takes a keen interest in our students’ results. I would also like to thank Mr Damien Casey for the contribution he made to maths education in his time at the College, until the call of a return to the army became irresistible, and I welcome Mr Ross Jacobs to our staff.

Finally I would like to thank all members of the Mathematics Department for what has been a memorable year for all the best reasons. The Department in general is such a positive and supportive work environment and this is ultimately reflected in the attitude and effort that nearly all our students demonstrate towards mathematics.

Mr Geoffrey Jamieson Head of Mathematics

Music

Music Music

very year has its musical highlights, some are planned and others evolve from the creativity of staff and students. In Term 2, with Ms Ruth Bott on leave, the department welcomed Ms Athena Litis as a classroom teacher and accompanist.

Ms Litis carried on with the Dr Robert Braham creative work in the Year Director of Music 8 and 9 classes which included opera skits in Year 9. In Term 3 the same class took group creative expression to a new level with a work titled One two three five four. This work, which involved percussion, body percussion, chairs as instruments as well as movement and vocal production, was forged into an item for the Contemporary Arts Night.

highlight with a very musical performance of Légende for solo violin by Henri Wieniawski. The College’s Swing Band One took us through some technically and stylistically demanding charts, including Sax to the Max and the combined Trinity/Presbyterian Ladies’ College Chorale showcased two sides to its repertoire with Festival Sanctus by John Leavitt and an arrangement of Autumn Leaves with vocal solo by Stefan Pugliese and saxophone solo by Christian Ruggiero. This was a sign of things to come as the Chorale prepares for its China tour in 2008.

The Contemporary Arts Night was a new initiative for 2007. Held in Term 3 it showcased creativity in music, dance, theatre and the visual arts. Musically, ensembles included two senior rock bands, one with very original material, the senior percussion ensemble Concussion in an impressive performance of Little Sea Gongs, and the very stylish Year 11 jazz ensemble, the StraightAhead Quartet.

Catholic Schools’ Performing Arts Festival

E

The Straight-Ahead Quartet was formed for an Artsedge competition which culminated in a performance at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. This student based group assisted by Mr Kevin Fenner was subsequently offered several gigs, including the University of Western Australia Guild Ball.

The Year 11 music class had the opportunity to stretch its compositional practices by entering the Sibelius Music Composition Competition. This Australia wide competition was a great opportunity for the students to write an extensive piece in a chosen style. All students were able to produce pieces with character and intelligent use of compositional techniques.

One of the highlights of the musical year was a visit by the Melbourne Boys High School Music Department.

This was a wonderful experience of musical sharing. It included performances of student compositions by both schools as well as a shared vocal concert.

160

Speech Nights are often remembered for the musical items and in particular the massed choir of Year 10 to Year 12 students performing together. Finding a soloist to front the massed choir has never been a major obstacle with numerous senior boys, both musically trained and untrained, auditioning for the part. This year, and not for the first time, the massed choir featured two solo vocalists. James Green and Bradley Shaw led the school through Tonight Tonight, a Smashing Pumpkins song, which also featured electric violins played by Ben Caddy, Lee Hutchings and Dannel Yeo. Ben also provided another Speech Night

i-fly, a creative dance representing many aspects of flight and plane travel using the combined forces of BIG and GIG, rounded off the entertainment prior to speeches and prize distribution. The Pipes and Drums provided their usual entertainment value with the drummer’s fanfare impressing many.

Congratulations to all music and drama students who participated in the CSPAF. With in excess of 80 solo entries on top of all the ensemble entrants, Trinity music students presented a large variety of musical styles and instrumental combinations. The students and groups which received merit awards, honourable mentions and section awards are listed in this Annual.

The net result of large scale and high quality participation was a fourth consecutive Zenith Award for performing with excellence and entering into the spirit of the Festival.

Special mention must go to the group and solo award winners. Louis Frere Harvey turned the clock back by replicating Joshua Webster’s 2004 winning percussion solo performing Ghanaia for marimba to take out the solo instrumental award. Daniel Mullaney achieved a first for the Music Department by being awarded the secondary solo vocal prize with a beautifully crafted performance of O Del Mio Amato Ben. The classical guitarists have long been strong contenders in several sections of the Festival and were not to be outdone this year. David Chua and Mark Ng combined in a classical guitar duet that held the Concert Hall spellbound in the final concert after receiving their award in the instrumental duet section performing Aurora. The Vocal Ensemble added to its list of credits with the liturgical music award singing The Deer’s Cry and I Will Greatly Rejoice.

All participating students deserve praise for their courage and musicianship in performance. Every student’s performance, whether solo or in ensemble, is important. I personally thank the music tutors and ensemble directors for their enthusiastic involvement and preparation of the students.

Science Academic

S

cience went digital at Trinity in 2007 – or we at least began a transformation in our approach to integrating technology into the curriculum. Thanks to a very generous grant from the College, the Physics Learning Area was able to purchase a Mr Tim Blake significant amount of Pasco Head of Science data logging equipment under the direction of our senior Physics teacher Mr Craig Adams, assisted by Mr Mark Dodd and Mr Bill Cooper.

The ability to measure and record data continuously with state-of-the-art technology will not only open up a whole new dimension of investigation for the students, but also mirror the type of research conducted in industry.

In 2008, the program will expand to include the other Senior School and Middle School subjects. It should be recognised that the management of the new resources and the ease of integration into the curriculum would not be possible without an enormous amount of sound advice and hard work by our laboratory technicians Mr Lim May San and Ms Debra Renfrey.

Our students once again excelled in the 2006 TEE results with Trinity being in the top ten schools in the state in Human Biology, accolades go to science teacher Ms Brigitte Savy-Walsh. Despite our excellent TEE results over the last five years, far too few of our boys opt to study the life sciences and many struggle with the physical sciences in the mistaken belief they will get a better TER score. Biology and Human Biology are subjects offering wide ranging applications and life skills and more students would be well advised to take them up, especially if they wish to specialise in related fields.

Stephen Dale (12.4) has been an exceptional ambassador for Trinity over the past twelve months. Our Year 12 Chemistry Prize winner was selected to go to Canberra along with only nineteen other students for the 2006 Australian Olympiad Summer School. After completing the course Stephen narrowly missed out on qualifying for the National team that travels overseas to compete in the world championships. However such was his success that he was approached by the Asian Science Camp.

This prestigious International program for school students

is by invitation only catering to the best science talent in the world. Stephen had the most marvellous time representing Australia at the event under the tutelage of thirteen world renowned professors, five of whom are Nobel Prize winners. Stephen has again been selected for the 2008 Olympiad summer school but has decided to study at university instead. We are very proud of our first academic Olympian and wish him all the best in what will be a great future. Well done Stephen.

With the help of science teacher Mr Mike Slack-Smith, the new co-curricular Student Information Program (SIPS) was trialled for Year 10 students, introducing them to career opportunities in the oil industry. A dozen lucky students were treated to a series of lectures by oil professionals from Woodside Petroleum Limited about the various fields open to them. It is possible that the boys will never forget the 3-D room at Woodside where a hologram of the North West Shelf oil reservoirs appeared to float around their heads.

During 2007, we once again had excellent results in various science competitions, particularly The Rio Tinto Big Science Competition, and the Royal Australian Chemistry Institute (RACI) Australia National Chemistry Quiz reaped excellent results; testament to the quality of tuition by science teachers Mr Al Hay and Mr Jim Shackleton.

Biology continued to lead the way in co-curricular activities with trips to Malaysia, Dryandra and the Stirling Ranges, as well as various ecosystems in the Perth area. Teachers Ms Brigitte Savy-Walsh and Mr Bobby Emmanuel conducted the annual trip to Perth Zoo to study our closest primate relatives.

With much uncertainty and unease surrounding the proposed new Courses of Study for Senior School, 2007 continued to provide challenges. It has been a difficult birth for the new courses and much hard work lies ahead prior to their introduction in 2009. However, the professionalism of the staff in the Science Learning Area (SLA) will ensure that the high standard of teaching and the rigorous science education at Trinity will not diminish.

I would like to thank all the SLA staff for their hard work and professionalism throughout the year.

Malaysia Expedition

R

afflesia are the world’s largest flowers and they stink!

The members of the 2007 Malaysia Expedition were very fortunate to see a fine specimen in a small patch of remnant rainforest on the slopes of Mount Kinabalu. This was just one of many exciting experiences for twentynine intrepid students of Biology, Geography and Human Biology in the July holiday.

Our trip started with an early morning cultural immersion shopping in Gaya Street Market followed by a brief introduction to mangrove swamps and the rest of the day shopping in Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah. The next day our journey took us to Mesilau to observe huge pitcher plants and Poring Hot Springs, where we were able to learn much about Diptocarp rainforests on the exhilarating 30m high canopy walk. Afterwards our shaking legs received a much welcome bath in the scalding volcanic springs that give the area its name.

An arduous two day hike to the top of Mount Kinabalu at 4095.2m followed. The incredible variety of orchids, epiphytes, ferns and mosses that adorned the tropical rainforest along the trail was unbelievable. As we climbed further up the mountain the vegetation changed to stunted cloud forests full of flowering rhododendrons and hanging moss just visible in the ever-present mist.

None of us will forget the torrential rain and gale force winds that beset us for the last two hours of the hike and the chalets were a welcome relief. Unfortunately the conditions were too treacherous to attempt the summit but the experience and the sense of achievement for all was immense.

From Kinabalu we ventured to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre for displaced and orphaned orangutans. This is a wonderful place to observe not only orangutans but also pig-tailed and long-tailed macaques; but it is also a sad place, to realise these rare creature have lost their homes to incessant land clearing by the encroaching oil palm industry.

The rainforest experience far out-weighed the quality of the accommodation. Who will forget the mud bath in the ox-bow lake and the antics of the proboscis monkeys that we saw all around us? A number of students were lucky enough to experience life in a typical Malay home. Our journey continued to Sanadakan War Memorial which added a poignant reminder of the sacrifice of so many brave soldiers. The trip concluded in the palatial accommodation of Gayana Island, snorkelling in the warm waters of the South China Sea. This was a wonderful trip with an excellent group of worthy students.

My thanks to Vicki Jones for the brilliant humour and the ever dependable Mike Slack-Smith.

From Sepilok we ventured to Bilit on the banks of the Kinatabangan River which is only accessible by boat.

ith a beautiful showing of Comet McNaught, the brightest comet in over forty years and clearly visible to the naked eye, 2007 started with a bang for astronomers in WA. If you missed it, don’t hold your breath. Comet McNaught came in from the depth of Mr William Cooper the Oort cloud. The precise Observatory Manager orbit of Comet McNaught is not known, but current estimates indicate it may escape the sun altogether. This can happen if a comet picks up some extra speed while falling towards the sun. Conversely, on 28 August the total eclipse of the moon was a disappointment in cloud-covered Perth, though further up the coast in Broome it was reportedly spectacular.

Thanks to funding from the Australian School Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics (ASISTM), Trinity College Observatory has led a group of schools through the intricacies of robotic telescopes and our students can now log on to the telescope via the internet from home and take their own images to subsequently process in school. We began the year with a new camera, an Apogee Alta, for the Brokwell telescope. This camera gives us a much larger image and downloads faster to the observatory computer, allowing more work to be completed in an evening.

In the Astronomy Club, Vincent Jusko (11.6) has kept us up-to-date with observing highlights each month and Tom Drage (11.6) has continued to develop our radio telescope. Currently he is building a small aerial that will cancel out local noise from our celestial radio signals. Marcus Bunn (9.6) has been bringing himself up to speed so that he can take control of the radio telescope in 2008. Dannel Yeo (11.6) has provided the

younger students with an opportunity to work with him on the finer points of image processing.

This year’s astronomy camps have been fun events with students deriving maximum benefit from the telescope throughout the night to the first light of dawn. We celebrated fifty years since Sputnik with a camp at Trinity and launched several rockets from the observatory. We ended 2007 with a club trip to the Gravity Discovery Centre two hours north-east of Perth, a barbecue, and a night under the stars at the Southern Cross Cosmos Centre.

Mitchell Wellstead (9.2) has volunteered to coordinate a rather grand collaborative research topic for the Astronomy Club. In 2008 we intend to calculate the size of the Milky Way and the position of planet Earth within it. We can do this by using the 200 or so tiny droplet galaxies called globular clusters that sit in the halo of the Milky Way. By assuming that most globular clusters are about the same size it is possible to calculate the distance to each cluster from their image and thus build a three-dimensional map of their distribution. Students will develop an understanding from their own data of our place in the Milky Way, much as Harlow Shapely did in 1914.

We are excited that Western Australia is the hot favourite for the site of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). This will be the biggest radio telescope in the world and will unlock secrets of the early universe in much the same way as the Hubble telescope has opened up new areas of discovery. If the SKA comes to WA it will be our biggest industry after mining and it will have huge spin-offs for Perth.

Society and Environment Academic

I

n this most productive and successful year in Society & Environment, a particular focus has been on developing literacy skills.

In a world where it is so convenient to communicate informally via email or mobile phone text, and more than ever before employers are Mr Chris Allanson placing emphasis on written Head of Society & Environment communication skills, we must ensure that we facilitate opportunities for our boys to improve their written language. Across all Year levels, with a refocus on basic spelling, grammar and punctuation, we have been modelling effective note taking, paragraph structure and essay writing, and all students in Years 8 to 10 have been assessed against ‘Investigation, Communication and Participation’ (ICP); the Society & Environment literacy Outcome that, rather than just assessing content, facilitates feedback to students on how well they are communicating their ideas.

Our academic program has included numerous guest speakers, field trips, camps and other special events, demonstrating that not all learning takes place in the classroom, especially in the areas of Political & Legal Studies, Geography, History, Accounting and

174

Economics. Guest speakers have included Indigenous youth advocate and 2007 Young Australian of the Year Tania Major, talkback radio host Howard Sattler and Trinity Old Boys: the Federal Member for Stirling, The Hon Michael Keenan (1989); and State Prosecutor, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia, Mr Seamus Rafferty (1991).

Other activities included the Year 9 students attending a drama production on the horrors of war, with particular reference to the Vietnam War, and the Year 12 Geography students attending an intense Geography Camp to New Norcia and Northam, where numerous assessment requirements were addressed. One of the highlights of the camp was the visit to Catholic Agricultural College Bindoon, where the boys got a good taste of life on the farm.

In Perth, our students also visited Parliament House, the Supreme Court, District Court, Magistrates Court of WA, the Francis Burt Law Education Centre and Museum, the Hills Discovery Centre, Point Perron, the Holocaust Institute of WA and Fremantle Prison. Students attended conferences at the The Constitutional Centre of Western Australia, the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Western Australia and the United Nations Youth Association (UNYA) State Conference.

Our students also competed in the UNYA Hammarskjöld Trophy Competition, the

Society and Environment Academic

Geographical Association of Western Australia John Forrest Award competition and the Australian Geography Competition; special mention must be made of Calum Braham (Year 8.1) who was placed fifth nationally in the Junior Section of the Australian Geography Competition.

I would like to thank all of the Society & Environment staff for an outstanding year’s work. Having a staff of hardworking, committed professionals gives the students of Trinity College an education that not only meets their current requirements, such as preparing for university, but also, and more importantly, it gives them the skills and motivation to be lifelong learners. The students can recognise that each of you teach with a

passion for your subject and this in turn inspires them to be their best.

At the beginning of the year, Anthony Lunt took up the role of Middle School Coordinator and I congratulate him on a fine year’s work in administering all aspects of the programs for Years 8 and 9. To Mr Andrew Osnain, Ms Vicki Jones, Ms Kristen Campisi, Ms Corrinna Eagling, Mr Lal Bisnath, Mr John Montagu, Mr Phil Jurjevich, Mr Barry Mckenna and Mr Doug Simpson; thank you for your efforts in 2007. I wish Kristen every success as she leaves us to pursue other interests. I look forward to building on the success of this year in 2008.

United Nations Youth Association State Conference 2007 rom Friday 23 to Sunday 25 February, Vincent Jusko (Year 11.6) and Gerard Rosario (Year 11.3) participated in the United Nations Youth Association (UNYA) State Conference at Serpentine Camping Centre. The theme of the conference was ‘Peacekeeping: Ineffective, Inadequate, Indispensable’.

F

Throughout the camp we had the opportunity to listen to a variety of speakers covering issues relating to peacekeeping and youth empowerment, including: the then Minister for Youth, The Hon Lilliana Ravlich; David Mickler from the United Nations Association of Australia (WA Division), who spoke about the concept of the ‘responsibility to protect’ and the difficulties in getting a UN peacekeeping force into Darfur; Colonel Phillip Skelton AM RL who gave a broad overview of peacekeeping, its relationship to peacemaking and nation building, and Australia’s involvement in peacekeeping; and Grace Roberto who talked about her personal experiences in Sudan and fleeing to make her way to a new life in Australia.

We also had the opportunity to participate in small group workshops covering resolution writing, the UN Charter, and the rules of procedure of the UN General Assembly. We participated in drafting Youth Motions, which are being published and circulated throughout the WA parliamentary and NGO community. In addition, each representing a member state of the UN, conference delegates participated in UN committee debates and a General Assembly debate, which consisted of over 130 delegates.

There were opportunities to meet new people, through the annual delegate-facilitator soccer game, the Friday night games and the Saturday night disco.

The UNYA Conference was a worthwhile experience, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the culture and practices of the moral conscience of the world.

Mr Peter Duckett Senior Enterprise Coordinator

Students from each year level were able to access mainstream subjects depending on their requirements for future TAFE studies or for a direct transition into the workforce. The flexibility that the program provides allows the students to achieve the outcomes that are required in this transition program from school to work.

College Art Exhibition, Flyer for the TOBA Sundowner, College Auxiliary Melbourne Cup flyers, Cup day ‘name the foal’ competition and function tickets. We intend to expand this venture next year with more in-house work as well as seeking external contracts which will go some way towards making Senior Enterprise a selffunded program.

I will take this opportunity to thank Mrs Anna Gingell (TOBA Executive Officer), Ms Celenza (Principals Assistant) and Mrs Martina Stroud (President of the Trinity Auxiliary) for their support and interest in the program; the boys’ really appreciated the time they devoted to the meetings which provided a very real simulation of relationship and dealings that occur between a business and client.

Congratulations to Jerome Davenport (Year 12) for being our first school-based apprentice (chef). In 2008 two more students will follow Jerome.

Our first graduates from the ‘Dream Team’ were presented with their certificates at the Perth Convention Centre in late October. Congratulations to Mark Ciancotti, Adam Morris and David Graham. In 2008 five members of the team will move into Year 12 and another five will commence in Year 11.

Students It is pleasing to report that most students in Years 10 to 12 are keeping their career portfolios up to the mark. The career coordinator interviewed all Year 11 students and they are well placed to continue their research to be ready with their exit plans during 2008.

Workplace Learning Formerly known as INSTEP, the workplace learning program continues to be the main avenue for senior students to receive quality training in the workplace. Twenty-four students completed the program towards their Certificates of Education, many with A grades and offers of part-time work and some gaining apprenticeships. Congratulations to Simon Miller (Year 12) and Simon Kerr (Year 11) for taking out the respective awards this year.

Congratulations to council members Michael Brown and Judith Marinoni (parent representatives), Martin Tobin, Doug Simpson and Tony Webb who have continued to meet throughout the year.

Outdoor Education Academic

I

n 2007 Trinity College students challenged themselves in a variety of outdoor pursuits, learning about their natural environment and how to enjoy and conserve it for the future. Students in Years 8 to 12 were engaged in cycling, fishing, stove and Mr Brendan Chapman fire cooking, canoeing, Outdoor Education abseiling, rock climbing, caving, sailing, power boating and mountain biking.

Students also undertook a number of expeditions throughout the year.

All Year 8 Outdoor Education students cycled a section of the Mundaring Railway Heritage Trail. Five separate day-long expeditions were held over the year which exposed over 100 students to the joys of outdoor education.

Over eighty Year 10 students ventured south to Karridale near Augusta over two separate expeditions. These students engaged in caving, abseiling, rock climbing and a high ropes course.

Two expeditions flew north to Dampier for the Year 11 expeditions in September. This particular expedition saw our students navigating around the Dampier

178

Archipelago. Students sailed around the islands for five nights, camping on the islands and fishing at every opportunity. The boys were lucky enough to tour through the Burrup Peninsular and visit the gas operations at Woodside.

Our Year 12 Outdoor Education students tackled the Munda Biddi trail for four nights on a mountain bike expedition. This required the boys to be self-sufficient in terms of navigation, food and equipment. Aims of this expedition were to develop qualities of responsibility, independence, confidence and cooperation through the use of outdoor activities.

Congratulations to all students involved in Outdoor Education for a very successful and enjoyable year.

PSA Sport Sport

T

rinity has enjoyed an outstanding twelve months in the PSA sporting arena, completing our most successful year ever and arguably the strongest all round performance by an individual school in the history of the PSA competition.

The PSA Mr Steve Leahy schools compete for fifteen Director of Sport trophies from the beginning of Term 1 through to the end of Term 3. For one school to be successful in winning eight of these trophies is quite special.

The summer sport season resulted in success for the 1st V Basketball, the 1st XI Cricket, the 1st VIII Rowers, the Hamer Cup oarsmen and, for the first time in the College’s history, the swimming team were successful in their quest to win the Tregonning Cup after forty years of trying. The elation of the six point win after seemingly being too far off the pace going into the final relays will be remembered for a long time by everyone who was at Challenge Stadium that night. The result is the icing on the cake for a team which has increased its points tally each year for the last seven years.

The 1st VI Volleyball finished a close second in their competition and the tennis players, with many of the Team returning next year, are hoping to challenge the more established tennis schools in 2008. Our results in Term Four were encouraging.

Our onfield success continued into the winter season when the 1st XI Soccer and the Senior Cross Country Team remained unbeaten over the ten fixtures and the 1st XVIII retained the Alcock Cup for the fifth consecutive year. The College’s football teams dominated all levels of the competition with the 2nd XVIII, 3rd XVIII, 10A, 10B, 9B, 8A and 8B teams all finishing on top of their respective ladders. The Smarter Than Smoking team, comprising boys from Years 8 and 9, won their Statewide competition and played their grand final at Subiaco Oval as a curtain raiser to an Eagles’ game.

Victory eluded us this year and we finished second to a strong Aquinas outfit.

A real challenge that presents itself is for us to improve our results in the sports that we have not been successful at for some time. We have not achieved the level of performance to seriously challenge the stronger schools in hockey or tennis for some years now and our rugby teams have also struggled of late. Our waterpolo and badminton teams also remain towards the bottom of the competition.

Initial steps have been taken to try and develop these sports with the 1st XI Hockey, 1st Waterpolo and 1st and 2nd Badminton teams all being coached by ex–Olympians. The Senior Tennis team has continued to improve for the last three years and hopes are high that this will continue into next year. After a tough year in rugby, there are expectations that the 1st XV will start to work its way back as a competitive force next year – if the level of keenness shown by the boys is anything to go by, an improved performance is guaranteed.

Another challenge facing us is to provide quality coaching and facilities for all our teams. Trinity is fortunate that our boys are passionate about representing their school in sport but unfortunately on some occasions it is not possible to get all the boys a game each week. This is largely a result of a lack of sufficient pitches, coaches, time or in some instances the school we are playing against may not have the same numerical depth as we do in that particular sport.

The expansion of PSA sport has reached a stage where radical changes may need to be investigated if the demand continues to grow. Implications of radical change such as playing all teams from Juniors through to Seniors over an entire Saturday would increase the number of teams playing but would also increase the demands placed on families, staff and coaches. Time will tell if such changes need to be implemented.

It is of course recognised that success is not simply measured by looking into the trophy cabinet and counting the amount of silverware it contains. The success of the sport program at the College can also be measured by the number of teams we field each weekend regardless of results, as well as the attitude of the boys towards committing to a common cause – I believe that the College has been successful in meeting these criteria as well.

I would like to thank several groups of people who have contributed strongly to the sport program at Trinity this year: The Trinity staff who give up so much time to coach the boys each week; The parent body without whom we would really struggle to meet the many and varied demands of the sport program; The groundstaff who work tirelessly to provide quality facilities for the boys; The College administration for their support of the coaches and the boys; The Trinity boys who represent their College with such pride and enthusiasm each week.

The latter part of Term 3 saw the athletics team produce a commendable performance in their attempt to retain the Alcock Shield for the fourth consecutive year.

Physical Education Sport

P

hysical education at Trinity College provides a diverse range of learning experiences for our students.

The sporting success that Trinity currently enjoys is due to a number of elements.

Those being programs which complement and enrich the sports electives. We have Mr Rod Rainer a very professional, hard Head of Physical Education working and dedicated staff who ensure each boy has the opportunity to achieve his potential. The staff provide excellent role models by the way in which they conduct and present themselves in an effort to promote healthy and active living.

Physical Education in Years 8 to 10 The summer sports program in Year 8 and 9 (introduced in 2001) continues to enhance the development of our students by providing them with additional coaching in the sport of their choice. Trinity students continually display a high level of skill development across the range of summer sports played in the PSA. This is due to the fact that, where possible, students are linked with a teacher who has expertise in their chosen sport who can provide an additional learning experience.

Fitness and Health Education This is an extremely popular unit which provides students with basic ball handling skills in Year 8. This theme continues on in Year 9 and 10 where students are introduced to the concepts of fitness components, training principles and the various training methods to develop these aspects. These units provide a solid base of knowledge and experiences for the various physical education courses offered in Years 11 and 12.

Physical Education in Year 11 and 12 The introduction of a TEE based course of study in physical education has been an outstanding success.

The popularity of this course is on the rise as students realise they can combine their love of sport with academic achievement.

The current Year 11 group will be the first students with the opportunity to use Physical Education Studies as a TEE subject to qualify for University entrance. It is a challenging course with students exploring their potential in sports coaching, exercise physiology and biomechanical principles.

AFL Level 1 Field Umpiring Accreditation Students undertaking the Stage 1A and 1B course of study were given the opportunity to complete a Level 1 AFL Umpiring Accreditation. This was done in conjunction with the PSA Junior School Winter Carnival.

Trinity students acted as central, goal and boundary umpires for the football matches. 24 senior school students participated with 14 students completing their accreditation. The boys are to be congratulated for the way in which they conducted themselves on the day.

Assistant Teacher Program

Aquatics

Trinity College realises the importance of providing young graduating teachers with a high quality teaching experience. We have had a number of excellent young teachers from Notre Dame University, Edith Cowan and the University of Western Australia who have made a significant contribution to the teachings of the College.

The construction of the Tony Curtis aquatic centre has no doubt contributed to the recent success of the swimming team. Its effective utilisation within the aquatics units offered has also contributed to this success. The Yr 10 Aquatic students assist with teaching the Year 4 students in developing their swimming abilities. The Year 8 and 9 groups develop their competitive strokes and lifesaving skills so that they will be rewarded with certification at Bronze Medallion level in Year 10.

The benefit of being involved in this program is evident in the fact that three of our current physical education staff did their final practicum at the College. Mr David Hankin, Mr Brett Silver and Mr Brendan Chapman all had outstanding pre-service experiences and as a result were easily identified when job vacancies became available. I would like to acknowledge the involvement of the pre-service teachers for their contribution in providing quality learning experiences

Health Education

182

In Year 10 the emphasis moves to such important and relevant issues as drug education and promoting positive attitudes to safer driving. The Keys for Life program proved to be an outstanding success with over 300 students and parents attending the evening workshop.

This program aims to develop positive attitudes to a healthy and active lifestyle. The focus in Year 8 is on the promotion of healthy diet and nutrition practices as well as appreciating the importance of remaining active.

Mr Rod Rainer Head of Physical Education

Athletics Sport

alf-way through Term 3, the athletics team commenced training with a burning desire not only to retain the Alcock Shield, held by Trinity for the past three years, but also to make Trinity the first school in ninety-six years to achieve the ‘Big Five’ – the Mr Stephen Leahy three whole school events Director of Sport of rowing, swimming and athletics and the highly sought after summer and winter trophies for cricket and football. With four of the Big Five secured, it was down to the athletics team to close the deal.

H

From the outset, over one hundred boys attended training and the level of competition within the team was high. In a season of only four weeks duration, intensity was high and gut-wrenching effort was standard fare.

The Trinity age championships is the first real event where strengths and weaknesses within the team can be identified and is also an opportunity to scrutinise the performance of the new Year 8 boys. It was soon evident that we would again feature prominently at the inters providing we went injury-free and error-free on the day.

There followed the traditional meet with Aquinas and Hale at Coker Park. In what can only be described as appalling weather conditions, the boys pushed for team selection – while the coaches kept a wary eye on the lightning – noting that Aquinas had a strong team and would be a major force the following week.

Whilst this year’s trial introduction of an additional two relays – 4 x 400m events – induced additional headaches for selectors, it provided an opportunity for more athletes to get a run on inters day. Both relays provided great racing and will likely remain a part of the program into the future.

For most of inters day it was a nip and tuck affair between Trinity and Aquinas, with neither able to gain a significant lead. As the day progressed Aquinas slowly gained and Trinity was finding some difficulty in pulling back the margin, but then the real pain kicked in. Aquinas would win an event and Trinity would come in sixth or seventh.

Then Trinity would win an event but Aquinas would minimise the damage by coming in second or third. At the end of the day, Aquinas was the deserving winner of the Alcock Shield. Although obviously disappointed, in testimony to their character the Trinity boys conducted themselves with great sportsmanship and dignity in defeat.

Whilst I am reluctant to highlight individual performances, Matt Cowie must be recognised for his efforts in the under 17

shot-putt. He equalled the PSA record, but when the officials checked the weight of the shot it was discovered that Matt’s was too heavy. An hour later the officials had found the correct weight shot and the event was run again. With each throw outdistanced by the next, Matt threw three consecutive records.

Accolades also to the reserves who did not get onto the track on inters day. They pushed their peers to better performances and are integral to the success of the Trinity Athletics Team.

And so we farewell the 2007 Year 12 athletes. They have made a great contribution over the last five years and can be proud of their involvement in three wins and two seconds. Team Captain Brad Shaw and able ViceCaptains Anthony Lipari and Dean Foley, were fine leaders by example and unfailingly supported by the entire open age group. Despite carrying an injury, for the fourth consecutive year Anthony won the Old Boys Trophy for the most points scored by an individual athlete at the inters – an outstanding effort.

I conclude by recognising all involved – athletes, coaches, ground staff, parents – who made such a great effort to get the team across the line. It was not through lack of effort or support from any quarter of Trinity that Aquinas took the Alcock Shield on inters day.

Mr Andrew Osnain 1st V Coach

he 2006/2007 basketball season proved to be the most successful period in Trinity’s basketball history.

A number of teams across the year levels remained undefeated for the season and improvements in the skill level in a number of other teams was achieved.

The senior season tipped off with the State All Schools–High School Classic competition held over a period of five weeks. Trinity College managed to secure its first non-PSA trophy for basketball after a thrilling final against Shenton College.

The same group of boys were involved in a tour to the USA to experience basketball at the highest level.

Winning nine out of twelve games and competing against future college basketballers, the students who returned to Trinity the following year as senior players were now seasoned veterans and prepared for the ultimate glory – the Blackwood Cup. After a very successful Term 4 competition winning the Shortland Jones Competition (determined by combined results from First through to 3rd V teams), a determined Trinity 1st V left nothing to chance in their preparation for and effort expended during each game. With a simple team ethos – the most important person on the team is your team mate – and our focus on being TC warriors, led by Captain Jacob Reed and Vice Captain Myles Pover, a true team of champions was forged.

The season was ultimately decided in the game against Christ Church.

In total four State players and one International player participated in the match arguably rated as the most exciting game in recent PSA Basketball history. The skill level and intensity was second to none. With our tall players in foul trouble it was put to our guards and small forwards to lift and out-hustle, out-rebound and out-run a bigger opposition. Our team followed the belief that to be a TC warrior each player needed to play with Strength, Courage and Honour and be prepared to Sacrifice for the team. Every player contributed to the victory, from the starting five to the bench. The victory at Christ Church ensured at least one hand on the trophy.

The team secured outright victory by defeating Wesley College on the last day of competition. The highlight of the game was a slam-dunk by Captain and State representative Jacob Reed in the final stages of the game. The season belonged to Trinity College.

I would like to thank the boys for the amount of effort and faith they placed into training and one another.

Self-sacrifice was a key component of success and each player who wore the white and blue did so with honour and pride. Thank you to the parents of the 1st V players who supported the team with passion and ensured a positive environment for the players in each and every game.

I would also like to congratulate the Year 8A team under the guidance of Mr Brett Silver on an undefeated season, ensuring a bright future for Trinity in years to come.

e have enjoyed a terrific season culminating in winning the Darlot Cup for the fifth time since the College entered the PSA competition in 1968.

W

The Darlot Cup competition proved to be one of the most keenly contested in a Mr Rod Rainer number of years with Trinity 1st XI Cricket Coach winning the competition from a fast finishing Hale School. Wins over Wesley College and Hale School stamped Trinity’s authority on the competition. Statistics of 1,639 runs, 78 wickets and 85.89 Darlot Cup points provided hard evidence of the overall improvement within the team.

In terms of 1st team selection there were three significant phases to the season with the first of these being the Newson Cup in Term Four. The players learnt a lot but there is often a gap between learning and performance.

As a result gains in terms of performance were not significant.

The Nudgee Tour was undertaken during January and we started to play some better cricket for longer periods of time, but often lapsed into old habits and we didn’t win as many games as we should have. One of the highlights of the tour was Travis Colyer’s innings of 109 against Nudgee College which ensured his selection in the Australasian Christian Brothers’ Cricket Team for 2007. During his innings Travis was ably supported by Keaton Wheeler who scored 21 not out and was a stabilising influence at an important time.

Congratulations to Fred Clutterbuck (Captain) and Binuk Kodituwakku (Vice Captain) who gave great service as leaders of the team. Daniel Kirk scored 260 runs as an opening batsman with a highest score of 96; a great achievement. Hugo Seymour in taking 4 for 17 and Andrew Winton with 4 for 25 both displayed their bowling potential. Mitch Duncan scored a great double for the season in scoring 234 runs and taking 15 wickets. Few who saw his 93 against Scotch and his 92 against Wesley will forget those innings.

A number of significant performances during the season were due to another player who unselfishly was willing to play the support role without much personal reward, but making a significant contribution to the team’s performance. Jacob Holmes made 14 in a 108 run partnership with Travis Colyer (124) against Scotch College. Whilst Mitch Duncan destroyed the Wesley attack James Di Carlo gave him great support, scoring only 5 not out himself but adding 75 invaluable runs in the last wicket partnership. Given the closeness of the competition, which we won by a margin of 3 points, efforts like these are invaluable.

The winner of the batting award for the 1st XI was Travis Colyer with 346 runs at 49.43 and Tim Shales won the bowling award with 17 wickets for 14. 41each.

The 9A/10A team had a very successful summer season, culminating in excellent team and individual performances. The team won eight games and drew one in a rain affected match. Term One started very brightly with a tough fixture against the previously unbeaten Hale School. Having won the toss and elected to bat, the boys batted superbly to record a solid total of 7/225 from our 55 overs. Opening the batting for the first time, Brett Wolton led the way with a superb 47. In reply Hale could only manage 119, with Josh Nicholas taking four wickets. The win gave the side a lot of confidence as the team went on to record comfortable victories against all other teams except Aquinas in a match which had to be abandoned due to bad weather. Highlights for the season included personal bests by Simon Douglas (109), Clayton Arnez (84), Jacob Holmes (83), Aden Fawcett (72) and Josh Nicholas (71). With the ball Josh Nicholas led the way with an incredible 27 wickets at an average of just 6.5 from 9 innings. He was well supported by Peter Bormolini, David Pearson, Aden Fawcett and James Di Carlo. These boys, along with a number of others, will seriously challenge for 1st team selection in the coming season.

The coaches of all teams are to be congratulated for their contribution to Trinity cricket this season. I would like to thank the parents who have supported the boys in their pursuit of actively participating in this great character-building game. The Cricket Committee have been tremendously active this season, with the Nudgee tour and catering and in particular I acknowledge the efforts of the President Mr Chris Colyer and Mrs Karen Clutterbuck.

I would like to acknowledge the recent hard work and support of Mr Martin Tobin, Mr Steve Leahy, Mr Graeme Porter, Mr David Hankin and the late Mr Murray McKenna who have all made significant contributions to the recent success of Trinity cricket. The groundstaff, headed by Mr Ross Beatson, are to be congratulated for their endeavours in providing us with the best playing conditions possible in the circumstances presented to us.

It would appear that with most of the current 1st team being Year 11s and with a strong group of Year 10 cricketers we can look forward to another exciting season in 2008. Once again my appreciation to all those involved in the cricket program for your efforts and we can all share in the success of the season just completed.

Cross Country Sport

T

his was an exceptional year for Trinity Cross Country, going undefeated in all events, winning the State and National Titles and being selected as the Australian Team to head to Prague in 2008. Coupled with this was the fight-back to win the Junior competition Mr Phillip Jurjevich after dropping two events in Senior Cross Country Coach the last four and coming back to win comprehensively.

The Senior teams’ combined time for the top fifteen runners was the fastest since 1998 before which the competition was run in a slightly different format. This guide to our speed indicates the depth of strength displayed this year and our ‘Grand Final ‘ against an also undefeated Scotch looked to be going badly when we were behind by 140 points on the first lap. The rally that followed showed the spirit of this group; on Scotch’s own course the team ran a negative split to win by 43 points. Mr Mark James said it was the most courageous display he has seen from a Trinity team in his time at the College.

Ms Kristen Campisi, Mr Roland Nelson, Mr Mark James and Mr Geoff Jamieson were essential members of this team in modelling the fastest relay teams, booking buses and encouraging individuals at the front and the back of the pack.

Josh Nicholas, Josh Hicks, Aaron Gregory, Ken Duggan, Eamon Costello and Nick Lee won the All Schools’ National Title, with Chris Dale injured and unable to run

after helping the team win the State Title. In the Under 14 race Dylan Dewsbury and Tim Pitcher were the first two West Australians in and, with Michael Radice, Sam O’Connell, Terry Price and Dylan Dewsbury, are training on as reserves for the Australian team.

Cross country is an exciting event involving individual runners wrestling lactic tigers, coaches and parents adding up numbers on their fingers and the fact that every runner’s place counts means an improvement in even our slowest runner will help determine our success.

Under the leadership of Captain Josh Hicks in Year 11, Dean Foley and Brendan Murray Vice Captains, this team displayed great spirit, jogging back to encourage each other in after they had finished their own race when they really just wanted to comply with gravity and hit the ground.

The boys are now the proud owners of land in Swanbourne, Wembley, McGilvray and Manning; the result of a rampaging group of alpha males that pushed their boundaries and impressed themselves with their new best times and places. To me, Dave Scott and Nicholas McKenna were symbolic of the team; running on Fridays in the Juniors, running on Saturdays in Seniors and running on Sundays on their own at Jacobs Ladder, with a style that was the most unnatural of the pack, carrying several injuries from refusing to stop training and an intent that was frightening. Well done boys; we were all very impressed with your commitment to achieve this fine result that has taken you all the way to the Australian Team! If you work hard you can do anything.

Mr John Montagu Coach 1st XVIII

he Flagship of the Trinity football program secured the College’s tenth Alcock Cup. We have won five in a row now and the last four we have secured outright. The 2007 team were a talented and well blended group of athletes. They had a nine win and one loss record for the season.

The team averaged over 113 pts a game and only conceded on average forty three points per game. With a percentage of 260% and ten points clear from Hale and Wesley in equal second place, the boys clearly dominated the competition. Dan Foley, John Lucas and I had the best midfield in the competition, the best Ruckman (Christian Eyers ) and some very good big go to’s up forward in Xavier Foley, James Griffiths and James Grierson which made coaching this side a dream. When you get a lot of the ball and you have quality big men to control stoppages you are going to be hard to beat.

The “X factor” in successful sporting teams is the courage and preparedness of team mates to work with each other. The 2007 side had both these traits in spadefuls. Once again the tradition of being absolutely

Defensively we played some good footy. Jacob Brennan and Isaac Dart were the two cornerstones. Jacob loved the big challenges and was able to back up his words with action.

Zucca (Zachary Zucconi) and Damon Joyce gave us plenty of run off the half-back. Luke Champion, Eric Bin Sali and Damian Leipold gave us good covering support mostly in the back-half.

Other lads who made solid contributions were as follows: Alex Fasolo (Year 10) is an outstanding prospect and scored nine goals in six games. David Michael showed great courage to come back from a broken leg to kick eight goals in five games. Sam Collins played two games and is an emerging Ruckmen, Tim Shales played one game and is an emerging power forward.

I am also very proud of Old Boy Jarrhan Jacky (class of 2006) who has just been drafted to Richmond for the 2008 season. Congratulations Jarrhan we all wish you the very best of luck for the coming season. This makes me wonder, who will be next? committed at contested ball was a hallmark of this team and is becoming a benchmark for anyone who earns the right to put on a Trinity 1st XVIII jumper.

These traits were reflected in our leadership. Luke Bonnett (Capt) and Lewis Fasolo (Vice Captain) were both fantastically skilled yet fearless in the packs and when the ball was in dispute.

They set the tone for the rest to follow and they were not left to fight alone. Shane Bendotti, Myles Pover, Zac Zucconi, Ethan Hall, James Green and Luke Conca would all put their body on the line when it counted (It made an ageing Coach get “that warm feeling inside”)

200

There are then your playmakers who come into the equation of a premiership side. Lewis Fasolo played like a young Robert Harvey, skilled, fantastic hands and feet and with amazing core strength. Surround him with the likes of our three State 16’s players, Mitch Duncan, Travis Colyer and Kane Lucas and you start to get an idea of how hard it is to get into a Trinity 1st XVIII midfield. These talented young men rotated with the likes of the freakishly evasive Michael Mather, the speedy Michael Bostlemen, the tough running Freddy Clutterbuck and the silky skills of Greeny (James Green) who I have already mentioned.

Ben Hennessy was the man for all seasons. He was our main utility player. Solid and dependable.

On behalf of the coaching staff I would like to thank Kelly McGinnity for her excellent physio work with the boys over the past few seasons and wish her well in her career. We are also very blessed to have Father Michael McMahon who has helped us with his inspirational prayer before each game also Chris and Barbara Colyer for their fantastic managerial support. Thank you to all the parents for their invaluable assistance, the Old Boys for their financial support and the “Friends of Trinity Football” (too many to list) who have done a marvellous job assisting the lads this year. Finally I would like to thank the lads; you are just simply the best.

T

rinity College hockey went through a period of change in 2007, with the appointment of the new 1sts coach Graham Reid. He brought with him a wealth of experience and knowledge.

There was a feeling amongst the boys that this would be a successful season for us.

Ms Leanne Wilson As the season progressed 1st XI Hockey Manager the boys improved vastly and there was never a game where we were not in with a chance to win. Our final position was fourth, but with only two games separating first and sixth that is certainly an improvement on previous years.

Without a doubt the highlight of the season was the final game win against Aquinas. The team was ably led by Andre Di Filippo who worked tirelessly in every game.

The Year 12s, Tom Zekulich, Sam Metcalf, Matt Burwash and Brenton Bush, kept the backline together, while Dean Savage-Morton played mostly in the forwards. We wish them well next year and we will look to the solid foundation of Year 10s and 11s that have emerged this year.

The seconds showed great determination even when outclassed and never gave in. The highlight of the season was not the two hard fought wins but rather a comeback from 4-1 down to Hale with twenty minutes remaining to level. Despite being beaten 5-4 in the last minute of the game the spirit shown was indicative of the men that represented us.

The third hockey team had an enjoyable season characterised by humour, generosity of spirit and enthusiasm. The boys supported one another and encouraged best effort, and every member of the team made progress under Mr Roche’s directions. The thirds won their last game against Aquinas: a sweet victory! Victories during the rest of the season were measured in terms of the camaraderie and commitment of the boys to each other and the College.

The Year 10s had a mixed season with some success.

In many games the scores of the 10A team were extremely tight. To the boys’ credit, they showed continual improvement in both skill and team play throughout the season ending with a win against Aquinas. The 10Bs had one of their most successful seasons in recent years. Many times the Bs had to sacrifice their best player to help with numbers in the As and to the boys’ credit they still played exceptional hockey undermanned.

Year 9 was the most successful year group in Hockey at Trinity in 2007. The 9A’s finished second on the ladder and always displayed courage, determination and a desire to win. The team comprises some very talented Hockey players, but their success was testament to the way they played as a team and the team spirit always evident at their matches.

The 9B’s showed great improvement in their skill levels over the season and they were keen and always striving to displace the players in the A’s.

The Year 8s began the season with only four players with any previous hockey experience, and a severe shortage of players. They showed a wonderful spirit and improved dramatically as the season progressed. It was a long and very wet season for the 8B Hockey Team. Sadly, for many games we didn’t have eleven players and this made it difficult for us to be really competitive at times. But it did mean everyone on our team always played a full game!

We did not win any games for most of the season (although we came close at times) but we managed to finish the season with a win against Aquinas.

Congratulations to the Fairest and Best winners for 2007: Seniors Andre Di Fillipo Year 10 Adam Taylor Year 9 Tom Metcalf Year 8 Daniel Carton I would like to thank all the coaches and managers for their efforts this season, also to the parents for their continued support. Hopefully the 2008 season will be a further improvement on 2007.

Rowing

Rowing Sport

he 2007 rowing season was an extremely successful one both in performance on the water and in the combined efforts of the Trinity community. Success in the 1st VIII Challenge Cup, the Hamer Cup and, with Christian Eyres as Captain Mr Phillip Jurjevich of Boats equalling Stefan Director of Rowing Szczurowski’s Ergo record (6.17m for 2000m), meant that we took all awards.

to make this work was unexpected and extremely generous. The boys ran over 50km of the Bibbulmun Track, surfed at Conspicuous Cliffs and rowed up the Nornalup River experiencing one of the real jewels of Western Australia. Mr Gary Muir, winner of the “Best Tourism Experience in the Southern Hemisphere Award”, attached himself to the group after conducting a four hour tour of the inlet and surrounding forests and discovering our intentions of exploring the Bibbulmun.

As the record holder for running the whole track, some 960km in seventeen days, he was eager to show his favourite sections, all the time telling stories of great fires, Nannup tigers, shipwrecks and pet stingrays.

The 1st VIII also took every trophy available; the Indoor Ergo Regatta and the Guildford on Swan Regatta. The crew of Mike O’Neill (Cox), Brad Shaw (Stroke), Josh Hicks (7), Brendan Murray (6), Christian Eyres (5), Sam Collins (4), Blair Bayens (3), Luke Bonnet (2) and Luke McKenzie (Bow) under the guidance of 1st VIII Coach Mr Gavin Russell held off a brave Wesley challenge after leading all the way in the Head of the River race and the season. Other winners on the day were the 2nd Quad Scull coached by Mr Paul Abrahams and Ms Claire Woolfitt and a crew of Alex Ambrogio (Cox), Liam Dee (Stroke), Jerico Matarazzo (3), James Ambrogio (2) and Tom Humphries (Bow). The 9D Quad of Bohdan Young (Cox), Josh Smith (Stroke), Dave Scott (3), Tim Rayner (2), Jordan Begley (Bow) and with Mr Tom Nelligan as coach also won their race.

The generosity of the parents in the running of the tour, the camps, preparing the meals, painting the sculls, fundraising and towing vehicles was enormous and is definitely a factor in our success; young boys see the generosity of their parents and feel a duty to push on when things get tough. I need to say a special thanks to Mr Paul Foley as President and Mrs Marilyn Harries as Kitchen Coordinator for their untiring work and Mrs Kathryn Taggart and Mr Paul Abrahams for their production of an excellent Year Book. Our coaches must also be thanked for their generosity in sharing their skills and modelling a strong work ethic.

T

A highlight of the season was the Trinity Regatta where we won twelve of a possible sixteen races, winning the Kosovich Cup for 1st VIIIs and the George Xouris Cup for Open Sculls. In the sculling event Christian Eyres held off a tenacious and unexpected challenge from Josh Hicks to win by a metre, with two lengths back to representatives from Scotch, Hale and Wesley.

Our first trip in some twenty years to Walpole was also a great experience; the help of many people in Walpole

This season would still have been a great season without the wins. Under the leadership of Christian Eyres, Luke Bonnet, Luke McKenzie and Mike O’Neill the boys displayed a fierceness that made Mark, myself and everyone wearing blue and green extremely proud. From crocodile runs, daylight savings and early morning Januseks the work was there. This was not a group of exceptional size but one of exceptional spirit – well done!

Rugby Sport

he 2007 rugby season for the 1st and 2nd XV was for the most part disappointing.

Coming off a successful tour of Canada and America last December, there were high hopes that both teams would feature prominently this season – unfortunately the results were not as we had hoped.

T

Mr Stephen Leahy Director of Sport

The 1st XV team did not win a game and while competitive for significant periods of most games, were not able to convert an advantage of either possession or territory into points on the scoreboard. The greatest example of this was the second round fixture against Christ Church when the boys dominated every aspect of the match but were still unable to post a winning score.

We were challenged by the absence of two of our key players who missed more than half the season due to injury. However many of the team members were committed and passionate about their rugby, trained hard and played with courage each week but, at a senior level, their efforts were not enough to get the team across the line. On a more positive note, more than half the 1st XV were in Year 11 and will return next year with a far better understanding of what it takes to win games at this level.

The Year 10 team had a very good season to finish in second place. The team contained some outstanding players and it is with some expectation that they will move into senior ranks next year. The large squad will help overcome the lack of depth encountered at the senior level this year.

The Year 9 team also experienced a long winter, failing to win a game. The squad needs an injection of players

as there were occasions when we were unable to put the requisite number of players on the field. The boys in the team improved markedly over the year and an increase in the depth of the team will see ongoing development next year.

The Year 8 boys had an excellent season finishing in the top half of the competition. With the majority of the team never having played the game before this year, it was a real credit to all concerned that the team came together as well as it did. With a large squad the Year 8s fielded two teams – one in the traditional form of the game and another in a seven-a–side competition each week.

Best of luck to the Year 12 boys who have now finished their schoolboy rugby careers and move into the club rugby environment. Thank you to the many families who assisted with the billeting of visiting teams and for your help with catering, fundraising and the many other tasks which are undertaken without fuss each season.

We are looking forward to the challenges that 2008 will bring and anticipate that Trinity rugby will start on its journey back to the top of the PSA table.

fter a period of five years the Lawe Davies Cup is back at Trinity College.

The 1st XI proved to be the benchmark of the PSA competition and completed the season undefeated.

The PSA season got underway in March with over 40 boys trying out Mr Lal Bisnath for the 15 positions in the Manager 1st XI 1st XI squad. Competition for places meant there were a few unhappy lads when the squad was announced at the end of Term 1. The season began with a game against Christ Church which Trinity won 4 – 0. Thereafter we had wins over Wesley, Hale, Guildford and Aquinas before the crunch game against Scotch College who were also undefeated. In stormy conditions and gale force winds Trinity were able to defeat Scotch 2 - 0 making us favourites for the Cup. We completed the season with nine wins and a draw against Aquinas in the last game.

Our success did not end with the PSA competition. The 1st XI reached the quarter finals of the All Schools Knockout Cup where we narrowly went down by 2 goals to 1 to John Curtin High School who also won last year.

My thanks should go to Jamie Harnwell Coach of the 1st XI for his tremendous work with the team. Special mention should also be made of Alex Cocking who scored 28 goals in the PSA Competition, Josh Marocchi

214

as Captain, Aaron Mayo, James Davies and Chris Quinn who provided the skill and class that contributed to such a successful year for the 1st XI team.

The other senior teams had their fair share of success, the 2nd XI were always competitive in the games. Mick Chortis and Daniel Randazzo were elevated to 1st XI to cover injured players and were a great asset to the team. The 3rd XI represented the College with admirable enthusiasm and most games were hard fought affairs.

The Year 9 teams had a very successful season with the 9A Team winning their competition with eight wins, a draw and one loss. A high level of skill and enthusiasm were displayed by the team as a whole. The 9B Team were also fairly successful during the season and need to be commended for their sportsmanship.

The 8A Team coached by Jamie Harrwell, played some great soccer but were often unrewarded for their efforts.

Goal scoring will have to become a priority with this team to turn good seasons into great seasons. The 8B and 8C teams tried hard and had fairly successful seasons.

I would like to thank all soccer coaches for their tremendous efforts, also the parents for support of their sons and coaches during the season. Thanks also to the many members of staff for their support of the 1st XI during the season.

F

or the entire 102 years of PSA swimming competition, there have been two letters missing from the Tregonning Cup. Every school has, at some point, won the ‘Inters’. Every school, except one……..

The Trinity season commenced late in 2006.

Early morning training and gym work characterised the first three months of the season. We had a few setbacks along the way, our campaign to dominate the Schools and Colleges Relay Competition had backfired badly and things were not looking good by the time we headed into the Quads meet.

Mr Dion Mepham Aquatics Specialist

At the Quads, we generally do not field our strongest team, preferring to give an opportunity to represent the school, to those who have trained hard during the season, but may not make the final cut for the Inters.

However, we believed that this year, we needed to field our strongest team at the meet, in order to gauge our position. By the end of the night, our position was clear, we had been belted into third by both Wesley and Christ Church and by a long way.

best. As the night progressed, we maintained third position and slowly crept into second.

With eight races to go, we were still 40 points behind Wesley, but safe in second and fairly happy that a disaster had been averted.

The day of the Inters came and something changed. The team made a commitment to each other and the famous TC spirit kicked in. A minor miracle occurred at team photo’s when a package of special caps arrived to complete a promise made to the Year 12 group and it was GAME ON.

However, the boys had winning on their mind and knew that if they just beat Wesley in each of the remaining races that they would win. Race by race, Trinity clawed back into the contest until, with two races to go there were 10.5 points between the two teams. Trinity won the race, Wesley were third, leaving Trinity in front by half a point going into the last race. The scenario for the last race was simple, whoever touched the wall first between Trinity and Wesley would win the night. History will forever recall that the Trinity team beat the Wesley team by three seconds to secure the very first PSA Swimming win for the school by 5.5 points.

The night was magical, every swimmer competed at, or above, their

The mountain had been conquered!

Things were grim. Our dream of winning the PSA Inters was in tatters and if we were honest with ourselves, we were not likely to hold on to the second place, we had won in 2006.

Results on the night: Swimming Captain, Corey McIntosh led by example by winning the Open 100m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke (PSA record) and the 50m Butterfly. The Open relay teams performed well above their expected level, culminating in an exciting dual with Wesley College, which ultimately decided the result of the night.

Deep into Term 3 last year, a secret plan was hatched to strike at the weaknesses of the other teams, by introducing a lethal weapon into the U/16 age group. Jakeb Norman took on the task of moving up an age group and consequently dominated by winning the Div 1 100m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke and Open Div 2 200m Freestyle. The Relays of the U/16 age group also performed at a level well above their expectations, scoring unexpected wins in the Div 2 Freestyle (Damien Leipold, Alex Hardie, Matt Bannister and Andrew Shearer) and Medley (Travis Colyer, Don Ngyuen, Hugo Seymour & Kane Lucas). However, perhaps the standout relay of the night came from the U/16 Div 1 Freestyle, where Martin Sneeuwjagt, Richard Sorriba, James Arthur and Sam Burke lifted in true TC style to win an event in which they were realistically expected to come 4th.

There were outstanding performances from NJ Cartagena (1st Div 1 50m Breaststroke) and Taylor Colton in the U/15 age group and their relay teams excelled.

220

The U/14 age group showed extraordinary depth and exceptional ability. Luke Pardini broke a 19 year old record in the 50m Butterfly and won the Div 2 50m Breaststroke, while James Ballard won the Div 1 50m Breaststroke and the Div 2 50m Freestyle. Jack Connelly produced big personal bests to win the Div 2 50m Backstroke and Butterfly. Remarkably the U/14 relay teams won all 4 of their races; Div 2 Freestyle (Luke Screigh, Kurt Penny, Josh Smith & Jack Elder), Div 2 Medley (James Cumming, Mike Quinlan, Jesse Moutia &

Hylton Jones), Div 1 Medley (Liam Gale, James Ballard, Luke Pardini & Nathan Booth) and Div 1 Freestyle (Jack Connelly, Liam Burke, Mitchell Zekulich & Jayden O’Neill).

Many of these boys would have held their own in individual races if it were not for the amazing talent that we possess in this age group.

Many people have made the first victory possible. No contribution however has been greater than that of Mr Peter Duckett. His dedication and inspiration over many years has been the catalyst for change in this program.

Thanks to the coaches of this year, Robert Sharp, Matt Pitcher, Antony Matkovich and Mark Bush, your technical knowledge made a significant contribution. Finally, the leadership group in 2007 was outstanding. In 2004 we promised you a win by 2007, your dedication to the cause over four long years was amazing.

Congratulations, you have re-written history!

Tennis Sport

he 2007 tennis season for the 1st VIII team had initially promised to be an admirable one with our hopes set on breaking through as one of the more dominant teams of the competition.

Aided by a rigorous preseason training and fitness programme during fourth Mr Geoff Jamieson term last year and over the Coach 1st VIII summer holidays, the team significantly improved and saw the emergence of new players like Chris Johnston and Alex Antionazzi who proved to be great additions to the team. With a long line of boys in the squad this year pushing themselves to make the team, the standard of tennis lifted remarkably as members of the current team fought hard to retain their positions. This ultimately led to significant improvements across the board and gave a whole new depth to the team. However, we also discovered that as we improved, so did the rest of the competition in a similar fashion.

While we didn’t live up to the potential we had as a team, and suffered some hard defeats toward the end of the season, it was surely not one to frown upon. A noteworthy occasion was our draw with rivals Aquinas. There was also a real sense of mateship and unity within the team this year, as everyone encouraged one other and aspired to improve their game, because although in tennis we each play as individuals on the day, our collective efforts go toward the final result.

I’d like to congratulate the boys on their efforts this season; I hope you are all so very proud of what you accomplished. We have not had a team this strong in many, many years. Well done boys. And finally I’d like to sincerely thank our senior coach, Mr Geoff Jameson. His efforts and hard work made us determined and inspired to go that bit further and push that bit harder even though there may have been nothing left in the tank So thankyou very much Mr Jameson, we really appreciate it.

This season can essentially be seen as a building block, a foundation for what is to come for tennis at Trinity College, and the future is certainly looking bright.

Tennis Tour to Melbourne During January this year, 13 students embarked on a 12 day tennis tour to Melbourne. Sam Birrell, Kristian Ostle, Samuel Slaven, Chris Johnston, Wei Jiunn Ng, Joe Samineeni, David Sutherland, Nicholas Chortis, Blake De Vos, Braden Smith, Scott Tognolini, Kyle Mackin and Alex Antoniazzi along with Mr and Mrs Jamieson enjoyed a memorable time in Melbourne.

The boys were entered into 2 tournaments and the best results came from Wei Jiunn Ng who came home with a singles title and two doubles titles.

The highlight of the tour was the two days spent at the Australian Tennis Open. To be able to see the world’s best tennis players close up was an experience I am sure the boys will never forget. Hopefully it will inspire them to strive hard to be the best they can in whatever endeavour they choose to pursue in their life.

We were staying within walking distance of the MCG and were lucky enough to also see some great one-day cricket games.

I would like to make a special mention of Frank and Dot Johnston for their efforts in the two sausage sizzle fundraisers and also organising the touring jacket each boy received as part of the touring party.

I would also like to sincerely thank Integrated Group and Major Motors for their kind donations to offset some of the costs associated with the tour.

The camaraderie that developed between all the boys made the trip very successful.

They bonded very well and appreciated each other’s company. The boys conducted themselves so well that it was a pleasure to be with them and will ensure that another trip will be organised within two years.

Volleyball Sport

rinity Volleyball enjoyed a very rewarding season across all teams, highlighting the emerging strength of Trinity College in PSA Volleyball. This year proved to be an outstanding season for the middle school volleyball, in which both the Middle A and Middle B Mr Brendan Chapman teams finished undefeated.

Volleyball Coach After a rigorous pre-season camp, armed with greater levels of fitness and skill, all of our teams took to the courts with great enthusiasm and a collective goal to improve our standing within the PSA competition.

T

Changing our coaching approach at Middle School level, teams were taught specialised setting, attacking and defensive systems, similar to those that are run at 1st level. With a more strategic element added to our game, our teams were very competitive against the opposition.

The middle A’s and B’s were undefeated through the season with six victories and no losses. Of special importance were those players who consistently filled C and D teams over the season. Having such depth of players directly contributed to increased levels of skill and competition in Trinity teams over the term. Special mention must go to coaches Mr Bobby Emmanuel, Ms Janelle Pagoda, Mr Brendan Chapman and Mr Sam Bandy who produced outstanding results with their teams.

In the senior squad, the standard of play across the athletes has reached its highest level in the sports short PSA history.

224

The Year 10 team made a very successful transition into faster and more complex volleyball under the guidance of Mr Brendan Chapman and old boy Sam Bandy.

The improvement of the boys’ technical knowledge of the sport and skills has been excellent, and has led to a great result, finishing equal first with Aquinas. The students implemented more complex attacking and defensive systems, and have developed into specialist positions on court. Tim Mettam has been selected in the Under 17 State Team, specialist setter Jack Dart has been selected in the Under 16 State School Boys Team, whilst many other teams players have shown the ability to take their game to the next level.

The 2nd VI Volleyball had plenty of potential and added to the depth in the senior playing list vying for a 1st team spot. They had a respectable season finishing under the guidance of Mr Craig Adams, whilst our 3rd VI Volleyball had an enjoyable season coached by Miss Rita Basilio.

The 1st VI Volleyball Team continued their excellent standing in the PSA after finishing second in the 2006 fourth term competition. Their determination to achieve their goal of winning the Brother Carrigg Shield has never been higher, and the team work and intensity during training and games lifting to impressive levels in order for the team to achieve their goal.

Unfortunately the team finished with 5 wins and 1 loss to eventual Shield winners Aquinas, however the Trinity team finished the season well above all other PSA teams and were considered a genuine title threat.

Throughout the season the team was led admirably by Captain Isaac Dart and Vice Captain Mark McKenna.

Sam Cadwallader delivered solid and consistent performances as the teams specialist setter, whilst Josh Marinoni has been selected in the under 17 State team. Saxon Ames had an excellent 2007 season as one of leagues best middle hitters and blockers, whilst State under 19 representative Connor Smith was a dominant force across the competition. Although the team fell short of their ultimate goal, they showed great ability and character throughout the season and should be proud of their performance.

Special mention must go to all of the parents and students involved in Trinity Volleyball. Your hard work and commitment have contributed towards a very successful 2007 season. The future of Trinity Volleyball looks very strong.

Waterpolo Sport

ith the departure of Mr Charlie Liggins to Hale School, an Old Boy, Mr Anthony Matkovich, took over as Coach of the Trinity 1st VII Waterpolo.

throughout the season through loss after loss. This result does not indicate how well the team played throughout the season, losing all of our games by 2 goals, even against the top team, with the second top team losing to the top team by 9 goals; I believe this reflects our true result.

Having a Trinity Old Boy coach the side is an experience this year’s Mr Richard Cackett waterpolo team will never First VII Waterpolo Manager forget. I do hope that this generation of Trinity boys will have the chance to meet an older generation Trinity boy. The intensity of spirit and compassion I hope will be carried on by all Trinity boys into the future.

The 2nd and 3rd Waterpolo players had a varied season with some excellent wins but also some games that would best be forgotten. Excellent team spirit prevailed.

Winning only one game (against Guildford) I must commend the team members for never giving up
