Year 11 In 2014, a significant emphasis was placed on encouraging Year 11 students to seek out opportunities where they could live out the mantra of being a Man for Others. Mr Brendan Chapman Head of Year 11 Students were consistently prompted to make contributions to the service domain of our Faith Pillar, seeking out opportunities such as Edmund Rice Outreach, soup patrol, street soccer at Wellington Square and the Winter Sleep Out. The list goes on. Mason Anderson (11.4), Sheldon Dias (11.7), Liam Fernandes (11.3), Rory Kendell (11.7) and Jesse Vivante (11.5) were very active throughout the Trinity College community, raising funds and awareness for the World’s Greatest Shave. Collectively the boys raised approximately $5,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation, whilst Spencer Staltari (11.5) raised approximately $3,000, taking up the challenge of the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Ably supported by Mr Craig Adams, the Year 11 Student Council drove various initiatives over the course of the year to raise awareness and funds for LifeLink. The Student Council, with the support of the College community, raised approximately $4,000 for the Archbishop’s Charity, established by the Archdiocese of Perth in 1994, to provide for the ongoing financial and promotional support of agencies established or assisted by the Church.
To complement the service contributions of our Year 11s, the students were significantly involved in the College’s Campus Ministry work. Over 60 Year 11s were chosen to be peer ministers for the Year 8 Quest retreat. These students gave up many Sunday afternoons and the Labour Day long weekend to foster the Trinity Spirit amongst the College community, as well as continue their own faith journey whilst forging stronger links with the Year 8 students and encouraging these students to live out a life inspired by Jesus Christ. Twelve students were selected to be a part of the biannual Kimberley immersion. These students were found to be outstanding ambassadors for the College, working with remote Aboriginal communities in the state’s north-west.
