Edmund Rice Education Australia Report On behalf of the entire Edmund Rice Education Australia community and our forebears, the Christian Brothers, I need to say how proud we are of your College and the wonderful work that you do to keep the vision of Edmund Rice alive in your community. Dr Wayne Tinsey Executive Director Dear Friends, It gives me enormous pleasure and pride to contribute this short piece to your College Annual. Your College strives for excellence in the fullest sense of the word. You challenge your students to see the world with our vision akin to that of Jesus – a vision where people matter ahead of things, where special care is shown to those who are struggling and where everyone has the potential to achieve fullness of life. The students at your College know that they are privileged and with this privilege comes great responsibility. Our children are the future! The future of our world is greatly dependent on their commitment to use the gifts that they receive at your College for the common good, rather than a narrow vision of their own self-interest. I know how hard the staff of your College work to instil in our young a sense that the freedom that they enjoy in our society must, in the end, express itself as a commitment to the making of a better world.
i
As I travel around our great land, the Christian Brothers I regularly meet tell me that your school and the many others who are part of our Edmund Rice Education Australia family are so faithful to the vision of Edmund Rice. I know this is true through my privileged opportunities to visit your community and be inspired by your students and staff. May your College thrive into the future and may it always challenge our young people to strive to success in the most complete sense of the word. With best wishes and many congratulations, Dr Wayne Tinsey Executive Director Edmund Rice Education Australia

Headmaster’s Report It is with immense pride that I present the 2015 Trinity College Annual Report. Mr Ivan Banks Headmaster We began by acknowledging the efforts of the Class of 2014. Many of our students performed exceptionally well, being granted entrance into their preferred course either at university or training institutes (TAFE). Isaiah Morich was awarded a General Exhibition (ATSI) for being the top performing eligible Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student in the State, based on the average of five scaled WACE exam scores with at least two from each of the humanities/social sciences list and the mathematics/science list.
Members of the 97 Club are acknowledged at the first assembly for the year
Brayden Keizer was awarded a Course Exhibition as the top eligible student obtaining the highest combined mark in a WACE course in Physical Education Studies. We had eight students; Michael Bell, Connor Duffin, Corey Evans, Max Formato, Mihali Kakulas, Brayden Keizer, Stephen Murphy and Shaun Zhu, achieve a Certificate of Commendation. These certificates are presented to students who achieve a minimum of 20 ‘A’ grades across their Years 11 and 12 course units. Three students achieved Certificates of Distinction. These certificates are presented to students who achieve in the top 0.5% of all students studying a particular course. Congratulations to Isaac Ward – English, Corey Evans – Physical Education Studies and Brayden Keizer – Physical Education Studies and Religion & Life. A total of 13 students were inducted into our elite club for boys achieving an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) of 97 or better; Michael Bell, Connor Duffin, Corey Evans, Max Formato, Reece Gherardi, Declan Hayward, Brayden Keizer, Isaiah Morich, Stephen Murphy, Matthew Naylor, Yash Patel, Isaac Ward and Shaun Zhu. Brayden Keizer was also a worthy recipient of a UWA Fogarty Foundation Scholarship. This scholarship is the most sought after and prestigious scholarship that UWA offers to undergraduate students. There are only ten awarded in Western Australia each year: seven for 6

metropolitan students and three for regional students. Recipients of the UWA Fogarty Foundation Scholarship are selected based on academic excellence and outstanding achievements in at least three of four categories; leadership, community involvement, the arts and sport. The UWA Fogarty Foundation Scholarships offer WA’s brightest and most committed students a full scholarship for the entirety of their undergraduate degree, including honours.

Edmund Rice Education Australia As a school in the Edmund Rice tradition we are proudly part of Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA). Being part of this network of schools allows us to access a number of formation opportunities for staff and students and gives us a connection with similar schools throughout Australia. This year the College underwent the EREA Renewal process to ensure that we were a school offering an authentic Catholic Education in the Edmund Rice tradition.
Our Four Pillars We offer a well-rounded education based proudly on our Four Pillars:
1. Faith Based Education Our faith based education has a threefold approach: head, heart and hands. The Religious Education program for Years 7–10 and the Religion & Life courses for Years 11 and 12 cover the head aspect. The heart approach is lived in our extensive retreat programs while the hands approach is practised in the generous and enthusiastic participation of students and staff in our extensive Christian Service programs. The appreciation of Religion & Life as an endorsed Curriculum Standards and Authority course continues to grow. Our senior boys have the opportunity to study the Religion & Life course, counting towards their ATAR (Australian Tertiary Academic Rank). The Middle School curriculum continues to offer appropriate and challenging term tests and investigations for students which enhance the Catholic Education program. Years 7–10 students see a pathway for the Religious Education program leading into ATAR Religion and courses for university bound students and the general courses for non-ATAR bound students, in Senior School. Our students continue to perform well in the Archbishop’s Religious Literacy examinations.
Our Catechesis activities; Masses, liturgies, retreats, Quest and Kairos are enjoyed and well-supported by our students. We gathered together as a full community to celebrate the Eucharist on four separate occasions: our opening school Mass in February, Ash Wednesday, the Feast Day of Blessed Edmund Rice and for the Feast of the Assumption. All of our year groups regularly gathered together for Mass. As a staff, we commenced and concluded this year with the Eucharist and we thank Fra Oscar for his presence at Trinity and for leading these liturgies. In January, 21 of our Year 12 students were trained to be Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist and in October we held our Graduation Mass and Ceremony celebrated by Fra Oscar. As a community, we continue to offer the Rosary every Wednesday morning and Fra Oscar celebrates Eucharist with the College community each Friday morning. Support for the needs of others in the wider community continues to grow. This year over $30,000 was raised for the Indian missions through Unfair Day and the fun run. With over $7,000 donations received for Project Compassion we continue to support Caritas work with poor and marginalised communities worldwide. St Vincent de Paul and the Christian Centre for Social Action benefited from the Quest retreat food drive and the Winter Sleepout sponsorship. Students made up toiletry bags for The Shopfront Drop-in Centre and collected food for Christmas hampers for St Vincent de Paul. Students individually and in groups took part in street appeals for various charities and fundraising events for the LifeLink appeal, a Nepalese orphanage and Edmund Rice camps. Staff supported Br Ollie’s Wheelchairs for Kids by loading or unloading containers during the year whenever help was needed, volunteered as cooks and drivers for Edmund Rice camps during the summer holidays and drove the Red Cross soup van every week in school terms. Our retreat program provides opportunities for our students to explore their personal spirituality and gives our senior students a chance to provide leadership to their peers and younger students. This is especially evident in the Kairos and Quest retreats. The Year 7 Becoming Brothers retreat is supported by 36 Year 12 Senior Ministers who mentor a group of Year 7 students throughout the entire year. Our Christian Service program continues to provide many opportunities for our students to serve others and to learn from these experiences about living out their faith. Nine Year 11 students have taken up the challenge of giving service to some of the poorest people in the world, spending the first four weeks of their summer holidays on the India Pilgrimage. Twelve Year 10 students have been selected to take part in the Kimberley Immersion next year, and have begun preparing for this experience through regular weekly meetings. The Year 12 Class of 2015 was outstanding in their willingness to volunteer in the service of others, with 64 students completing their senior project, all of these far exceeding the 40 hours required. Most students completed over 100 hours and qualified for Full Colours. This year there were five outstanding students who each completed over 300 hours: Callum Dewsbury (12.5), Liam Fernandes (12.3), Lachlan Harders (12.6), Nathan Sparks (12.4) and Jesse Vivante (12.5) achieved a record total of over 700 hours. 7
Many Year 12 students volunteered for Edmund Rice camps, Red Cross soup patrol and took part in Edmund Rice Outreach activities such as the Winter Sleepout for homeless people, the Campaign to End Capital Punishment and Refugee Week awareness activities. Commitment to Faith leadership was very strong with 92 students involved in either the Quest retreat as Cadre leaders, as Senior Ministers to Year 7 students, as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist or as Kairos retreat leaders. Through the programs from Years 7–11, students discover that by devoting some of their time and effort to serve people in need, they enhance their own lives, especially when it requires them to go beyond what is expected and out of their normal comfort zone. Our boys grow into compassionate and courageous young men through giving service to the environment, family and neighbours, children in local primary schools, elderly people, people with disabilities and marginalised groups.
Mr Banks, Mr Jenkin and Prefects present Ms Julie Williams from LifeLink with a cheque for $3,040.50
Our Junior School boys visited Archbishop Goody House as well as Br Ollie Pickett’s workshop as part of the Wheelchairs for Kids program. Our Junior Vocal Ensemble also travelled to different aged care facilities to perform for the residents. I thank those staff who teach Religious Education or who lead the Catechetical experiences. To publicly share one’s own faith and spirituality is often very difficult and as a College we are blessed with a group of staff who take this responsibility seriously.
Students enthusiastically set off on the Fun Run to raise money for our Missions in India
All our students are exceptionally generous when asked to support specific courses but the efforts of the Junior School boys are absolutely extraordinary. They raised money for Wheelchairs for Kids, The Shopfront, LifeLink and the missions we support through our India Pilgrimage.
2. Academic Education The College introduced a new timetable model in 2015 where it allowed the senior students the opportunity to undertake seven courses or six courses with a guided study, providing greater choice, allowing some students the opportunity to continue with the likes of Music or Italian or enabling students to pursue a subject of interest which they may not previously have been able to do with a straight ATAR load. It also encouraged them to continue to develop their independent study skills which will hold them in good stead for tertiary study. For our students in Years 7–10 it also ensured four contact periods for Mathematics, English, Humanities and Science. The elective time was increased in these year groups also allowed a greater breadth of study and the chance to ‘sample’ courses before potential selection in Senior School. At Trinity we strive to provide the highest level of teaching and learning that we can. Whether in Year 4 or Year 12, our teachers are dedicated to each student realising his potential. Our students have performed well in both the NAPLAN and the OLNA tests, with our results being consistently above the State and National averages. We supplement our academic program by entering 8

students in a variety of State, National and International competitions. Special note should be extended to Zach Manson (8.1) and William Tan (9.7) as prize winners in the Australian Mathematics Competitions and to Samuel Carbone (11.1) for being selected as one of just six students from Western Australia to attend the Mathematics Summer School in January 2016 at the Australian National University in Canberra. Students studying Science had the opportunity to be part of the Australian Science Olympiad and other national science competitions with a number of high distinctions being received. Science Week was a huge success with many events and activities occurring. Samuel Carbone (11.1) represented the College at the United Space School in Houston and he also won the prestigious Gemini Observatory Astrophotography competition.
Samuel was also awarded the most prestigious award, the Certificate of Class Excellence in October 2015. In this competition he achieved 100% in the Physics examination. Samuel Throssell (10.7) was awarded the Certificate of Class Excellence in September 2015. In this competition he achieved 100% in the Chemistry examination. Max Thorniley (9.5) was the youngest finalist in the Breakthrough Challenge conducted by the Khan Academy in the United States. James Heald (12.2) represented Western Australia at the National Schools Constitutional Convention at Old Parliament House in Canberra and the United Nations Youth Conference in Hobart. In the Australian Geography Competition the College finished in the top 5 schools in the State. In 2016 James will also join our elite group of students who have been awarded the prestigious UWA Fogarty Scholarship.

The P L Duffy Library Resource Centre The Library continues to be a central and pivotal part of the College community. It offers the boys a welcoming and dynamic place to meet for quiet research, reading, playing interactive board and computer games and for using the extensive services provided. The Library staff invited several guest speakers to address the students, including Marksman Lloyd (WA rapper), Kyle Hughes-Odgers (WA illustrator/street artist), Mark Greenwood (WA author/historian), Amanda Betts (WA author). This year Book Week, with the theme ‘Books Light Up Our World’, was highly successful with activities and competitions organised to promote the love of reading and literature. Once again the Br Gerry Faulkner Literary Competition was a great success as was the Book Club and the Year 7 consistent reader group.
NAIDOC Assembly
Italian Italian still continues to be the foreign language that we offer to our students. In November a most successful Italian Week was organised bringing many aspects of the Italian culture into the College, including food, history and sport.
3. Cultural Providing opportunities for students to be involved in areas such as Music, Art, Dance and Drama is a priority at Trinity. Through both the formal curriculum and optional activities, the boys can develop skills in these areas. Many of these activities have a performance base and our students have been part of school based concerts, the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and many others. The concert at the Quarry Amphitheatre, as well as the Junior School, Middle School and Senior School concert nights, were well-attended with a wonderful standard of entertainment provided. The Aboriginal music and cultural program continued in a similar direction this year with an emphasis on writing personal song lyrics, composing music and conducting individual performances. Jesse Pigram (11.7) and Rashawn Reuben (11.5) wrote and performed Free with other group members of the band Diversity, Isaiah Reuben (9.5) and Connor Brahim (11.5). They performed along with the ‘didge boys’ for the NAIDOC Assembly and Presentation Night. Jake Cox (11.2) coordinated and

performed an authentic cultural dance called Lost Boy with five other Aboriginal students and also performed at the NAIDOC Assembly. Our annual student art exhibition provided an opportunity to see the creativity and artistic talent of our students. The Visual Arts Department was pleased to host a parents and friends viewing evening to showcase the artworks and this proved to be a very successful venture. In addition to this, the Art Department hosted an exhibition of artworks produced by Old Boy Liam Dee (‘07) in the Cultural Centre Gallery which provided some inspiration for our Art students. Among the individual student achievements, Year 11 student Jesse Pigram (11.7) won a prize in the Biennial Peace Art Award which is a national art award for secondary school students. In addition, 13 of our students had their artwork selected for the prestigious Angelico Art Exhibition which showcases outstanding artworks produced by students in Catholic schools. 9
In Semester 2, Ms Laura Boynes took over the role as Dance Coordinator to run the junior and senior dance programs, from predecessor, Ms Aimee Smith. In July BIG and GIG impressed parents and friends at the dance showcase with a mixture of hip hop, break dance, tap and jazz routines. Much to the audience’s delight, some of the senior boys presented original solos. Both BIG and GIG performed at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre as part of the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools. Both groups presented energetic performances to an audience of hundreds, and GIG won a Certificate of Merit for their routine, Please Ya. Both BIG and GIG performed at their respective presentation nights. Drama in the College continues to go from strength to strength. This year’s production, entitled Skate, involved our boys as well as girls from Penrhos College and Mercedes College. Our students were also given opportunities to perform in the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools as well as two College evenings of drama.
4. Sport Sport is an important aspect of the education of young men. Through sport they have an opportunity to learn more about themselves and others. They learn to develop resilience in defeat and humility in victory. We have a clearly stated philosophy that every student must play a summer and winter sport for Trinity and I believe that it is this commitment to their fellow students that assists in developing the Trinity Spirit for which we are renowned. Success in sport should never be measured in terms of silverware in the trophy cabinet. Rather, it is the participation and enjoyment of each student that speaks of the success of our sports program.

Almost all our Junior School boys participated in the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and it is pleasing to report that many of the Junior School choirs received Honourable Mentions. The Years 5/6 Choir won the Brigidine Sisters Shield and was the winner of the Liturgical Music Shield. A number of other students competing in individual events also performed particularly well. The Junior School Vocal Ensemble performed at the RSL Home in Menora and at the Bunbury Men of Song Festival.
Our Junior School boys are fully involved with JPSSA swimming (sixth), cross country (fourth) and athletics (second) carnivals, as well as the summer and winter sports programs. Junior School students were also involved in the Ian McRae AFL Cup, the Katich-Moody Cricket Shield as well as being strong contenders in the State championships for basketball, cross country, soccer and triathlon.
Senior School The Zenith Award is presented to the metropolitan Catholic secondary school that is judged to have performed best at the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools. In 2015, Trinity College received this award for a record twelfth consecutive year. Congratulations are extended to the Trinity/Mercedes String Orchestra (Instrumental Ensemble), Trinity Senior Chorale (Secondary Choral), Years 5/6 Choir (Primary Choral Singing), Swing Band I (Big Band/Jazz Combo), Kayvan Gharbi (11.8) (Secondary Instrumental Solo), James Newcombe (12.5) (Secondary Pianoforte/ Pipe Organ), Joshua de Souza (12.3) and Kayvan Gharbi (11.8) (Secondary Instrumental Duet), Joshua de Souza (12.3) (Chapman Scholarship for Secondary Strings) and Michael Waller (12.5) and Lachlan Harders (12.6) (Contemporary Band).

This year, our students worked with a number of local and national musicians, including Jennifer Tham and Dan Walker. Many of our students or groups are asked to perform at significant community events, where they continue to make us proud.
Senior School At assemblies, I was pleased to acknowledge the students who represented Trinity at various sports and to be presented with the Hamer Cup (rowing – Champion School), the Br Carrigg Shield (volleyball) and the Lawe Davies Cup (soccer).

A number of Old Boys continue to follow their sporting dream and are involved in sport to a very high level. Other Important Areas in the Life of Trinity College Year 12 Activities The final year for the students commenced with a series of Year 12 seminars that looked at enhancing memory and exam performance: some of this material was also related to parents at the Parent Information Evening. One of the highlights of the year for the boys was the College Ball and the theme was ‘Rio Carnivale’. On Graduation Day,
the morning commenced with a breakfast and an address from TOBA President, Peter Torre (’89) and James Rowe (’84) before the presentation of their TOBA tie and pin. The Year 12s were then piped into the hall for their final assembly followed in the evening by the Graduation Mass and Dinner. These graduation events honour the conclusion of secondary schooling for our Year 12 students. Student Leadership As a year group, the 2015 Year 12s showed great leadership and service towards their younger peers. A key focus for the year group was improving the integration between the year groups and whether the boys were Prefects, Year 7 Senior Ministers (Big Brothers), members of Cadre for the Year 8 Quest retreat, Kairos leaders or one of the many boys to complete their senior project, they donated hundreds of hours of community service and provided wonderful role models for the younger students. This group was exceptionally supportive of the DT38 Foundation, LifeLink and the Red Cross Blood Drive; the latter, an initiative to flourish in years to come. Alex Ishida-Livings (12.5) (Head Prefect) and Nick Moulton (12.7) (Deputy Head Prefect) provided exemplary leadership for the prefects and the wider College community. The prefects performed admirably in leading the cohort and relative year groups in the areas of academia, sport, Christian service, music and socials. Year 11 Activities In Year 11 2015, a significant emphasis was placed on encouraging students to seek out opportunities where they could live out the mantra of being a Man for Others.

Christian Service placement was a significant event for our students. The student councillors have made Edmund Rice Camp for Kids their fundraising priority and through a number of events raised almost $2600 for this organisation. This group of students has also been very involved in campus ministry activities including peer ministry, street collections and soup patrol. The willingness of so many of our students to witness their faith and values openly and display solidarity towards the marginalised members of our community leaves me in awe and so very proud of our young men. Year 10 Activities Traditionally, Year 10 is challenging for students, having to cope with the transition and responsibilities of their first year in Senior School. To address the academic and social rigours of Year 10, the students were exposed to a wealth of knowledge on socio-emotional wellbeing and responsible decision-making from a variety of speakers within the Personal Development & Wellbeing and Pastoral Care programs. On the topic of personal development, one of the highlights of the year was the RAC bstreetsmart road safety excursion at Perth Arena where every student was immersed into an experience highlighting the consequences of their decisions when driving and using our roads. As we all know, Christian Service is a big feature of Trinity life and this year, students had the opportunity to be a ‘roadie’ on the College’s Quest retreat as well as join in on regular soup patrols to help feed Perth’s homeless. They also had the unique opportunity to reflect on themselves at a deeper level through the annual Emmaus retreat. Many of the boys who fully participated in these activities were successful applicants for the Kimberley Immersion and also in becoming Year 11 Peer Ministers in 2016. The social highlight of 2015 was without a doubt the Trinity-Mercedes Heroes and Villains social where Gibney Hall was transformed into a laser light and sound extravaganza, brilliantly complementing the lavishly decorated costumes seen on the night. Year 9 Activities Year 9 is synonymous with the emotional and physical changes resulting from adolescence. Our challenge for our young men has been to be in control of making good decisions in keeping with the College mantra of being Men for Others. With this in mind the College engaged a number of guest speakers to educate our Year 9 students in areas of leadership and team building, social media, and goal setting and study skills. In Term 2 our boys engaged in traditional ballroom dancing lessons with Mercedes College girls. This culminated in a themed social held at Mercedes. Over the course of Term 3 students were further educated about making good decisions regarding individual digital footprints and participated in Trinity’s Christian Service program. After-school classes were also offered to students who wished to further their study skills and organisational skills, run by the Head of Year, and was a great success. In Term 4 the students participated in the Galilee retreat as part of their spiritual growth. In addition to this a number of our Year 9 students attended a service learning and leadership program at Iona College.
Year 8 Activities Our Year 8 students really enjoyed their Quest retreat. The Quest retreat is part of the faith formation program and induction into the traditions and expectations of being a Trinity College student. Supported by the Year 11 Peer Ministers from Trinity and Mercedes, the retreat provided the Year 8 students with an opportunity to explore and further develop their relationship with God. The retreat encapsulated the College mantra of our students becoming Men for Others. Another important event was Grandparents’ Day in May. This was a fantastic opportunity for all students to show their grandparents and guests what Trinity College is truly about during a lavish morning tea organised by the College Auxiliary. The Wide World of Sports Social with Mercedes was another memorable event as were the guest speakers invited into the College. A group of Year 8 students fundraised for LifeLink through a ‘great bake sale’. Year 7 Activities Although the majority of our Year 7s were new to Trinity College they quickly settled into the routine of Secondary School. In Term 1 the Becoming Brothers retreat provided a wonderful opportunity for all boys to establish new friendships with their peers and teachers as they engaged in a range of outdoor activities and games at Camp Kelly. The social calendar was highlighted by the Term 1 picnic and games afternoon and Term 3 crazy hat social – both with Mercedes College. The Science Department, in conjunction with our Religious Education Department, conducted an environmental awareness exercise entitled Sustain our Swan, which all the students enjoyed. Junior School Once again the Junior School students enjoyed the challenges of their Year 5 camp at Forest Edge in Waroona and the Year 6 camps to Kalgoorlie and Dwellingup. A large number of our Year 6 students enjoyed the astronomy camp. Each of these camps provided opportunities for the boys to undertake innovative learning experiences and develop new friendships in an environment outside the classroom. Our chess team won the IPSHA Chess Competition. As well as extending the curriculum off campus a number of exciting incursions occurred including the Life Education van, stories of Roald Dahl and activities to celebrate Book Week. The Mothers’ Day Mass and Morning Tea and the Fathers’ Day Breakfast continue to be highlights of the year as is the strong

relationship forged with the Old Boys’ Association. This year there was focus on making the Christian Service program even stronger including visiting Archbishop Goody Hostel and Wheelchairs for Kids and supporting LifeLink and The Shopfront. Inclusive Education through the Mary Rice Learning Centre The Mary Rice Learning Centre, named in honour of Blessed Edmund Rice’s daughter, is a learning centre where students can be challenged to extend themselves and achieve their best. Their programs fall into two broad categories. For the gifted and talented students the programs included Academic All Stars, Perth Philosothon (formerly the Hale School Philosothon and now hosted at Perth College), da Vinci Decathlon, Future Problem Solving, World Scholars Cup and Voice Australia. For those students needing educational support the programs included QuickSmart Numeracy, Soundway Literacy, MultiLit, Spelling Mastery, Working Out with Writing, Dyslexia Talisman Series and speech therapy. We also started individualised programs for some students which aimed to develop skills and processes rather than content. The staff assisted a number of students with organisation and behaviour issues, supervised exams and worked closely with teachers in classrooms. Inclusive education is always flexible, appropriate and directed towards our students achieving their best. Our Year 7 lunch club continued, which aims to give boys a place to socialise. Many boys did not know anyone when they arrived at Trinity and had no social networks. At the club they play games, build Lego, run competitions and get to know each other. Our speech therapist continues to give support to our boys across Years 4–12 and has become a valuable member of the team. Careers In 2015 Careers & Enterprise classes continued in Years 11 and 12. Students developed life-long learning habits and were prepared for the world of work in the future. Years 10–12 students participated in a wide range of career-related activities across the year including career expos and the annual Career Carousel in which
students listened to guest speakers from over 13 different professions. University talks were given by UWA, Notre Dame and Curtin which focused on life at university and post-secondary options. Year 10 students attended their Personal Development & Wellbeing course which highlighted their strengths and interests and assisted with subject selection. Parents and Old Boys have been valuable partners in this process and their assistance throughout the year has been appreciated. Vocational Education and Training Not every student desires to further his study at university and for many students secondary school will lead into traineeships, apprenticeships or study at one of the training institutes. This year, 122 students were supported in this aim with an opportunity to do certificate courses. As a College, we offer six certificate courses and offer a further eight outside Trinity. This year we had 16 students blending school work with workplace learning. A new initiative this year was the introduction of a Certificate IV in Business option for Year 12 students. In 2015, 18 students undertook this course with direct instruction here at Trinity College, on a Tuesday, from the Fremantle Education Centre. This allowed students not only to complete an arduous industry-recognised qualification, but a potential alternative entry to university. Aboriginal Education The Aboriginal Program at Trinity College is continuing its strong commitment to the engagement of the students in all aspects of their education. With the continued development of Gold, Silver and Bronze Club, individual tutoring and regular attendance to homework classes we have seen a remarkable shift in engagement and success from our Aboriginal students. Through the positive building of relationships and connections amongst staff and students, the Aboriginal students are demonstrating pride in their culture through their musical and cultural talents, with the highlight being four Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) students attended the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney for the launch of the AIEF compendium and performed their song, Country Boy, at this venue. They were fortunate to have met the, then Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, and many other dignitaries who commended them on their outstanding performance. A number of our Aboriginal students made school visits to Gwynne Park Primary School, Good Shepherd Primary School and Embleton Primary School. Four of our students played the didgeridoo and played the cajon for the official opening of the Catholic Arts Carnevale 2015. Our NAIDOC Assembly was particularly successful due to the talent of our didgeridoo players and, in particular, the production of another beautiful song called Free, by the group, Diversity, and written by Jesse Pigram (11.7) and Rashawn Reuben (11.5). The dance was an authentic cultural performance directed by Jake Cox (11.2) that demonstrated their Aboriginal ties to the land. Jesse’s father, Mr David Pigram, performed a song with his two sons and his nephew. Thanks to Mr Steve Richter and Mr Russell Prior for their tuition and expertise with the orchestration of the performance for NAIDOC and Presentation Night.

Isiaah Caton (12.5) represented the College as Athletics Vice-Captain for 2015 and this resulted in a large number of Aboriginal students participating in the Athletics Carnival and the boys did exceedingly well. Most of our Senior School students, apart from those doing ATAR, are involved with traineeships with BHP Billiton, Cummins Diesel, Leighton Contractors, AFL SportsReady, Maxima and South Metropolitan Youth Link (SMYL) and continue to work well in their work placements. Jesse Pigram (11.7) has been awarded the honour of Prefect for 2016. The excellent support, encouragement and opportunities that are provided by Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME), AIEF, EREA, Colibri Pty Ltd and Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) enhance ongoing enthusiasm and commitment towards the education of our Aboriginal students. Astronomy and Space Science Astronomy and Space Science continued to expand and capture students’ curiosity under the guidance of Mr Bill Cooper whose knowledge and interest made the Astronomy course a very popular elective. During every year, Astronomy students in Years 9 and 10 attend two camps to launch a high altitude balloon at Dowerin and a rocket at Perth Advanced Rocketry Club in Toodyay. Students enjoyed and experienced the tracking and recovery of the balloon and rocket. The high altitude balloon collects particles from the upper atmosphere and once it is recovered, Mr Cooper and students download and analyse data and images using a number of software programs.

The level of parent involvement is a hallmark of the Trinity community. The Auxiliary and Council provide a wonderful service to the wider Trinity College community, as do all the ‘Friends of…’ groups, and the Parent Ball is still the hottest ticket in town. Former television newsreader, Ms Chrissy Morrissey, was the guest speaker at Auxiliary morning tea and a more engaging speaker would be hard to find. This year we have continued to further strengthen our sense of community spirit; morning tea for parents has been provided following each year group Mass throughout the year and a group of parents has provided meals for those in our Trinity College community who might be in need of support through illness or bereavement. Many activities are supported by ‘Friends of…’ groups and I thank them all for their involvement in the College. The Parent Council supported the Dan Haesler engagement and wellbeing talk, the Hugh van Cuylenburg resilience project talk, the Parent Ball and the opening Sundowner. The parenting program, Journey of the Adolescent Soul, continued to be well-supported. In this program participants explored the issues involved in various stages of the adolescent boy’s journey to manhood. Old Boys Trinity College enjoys a most rewarding relationship with TOBA. The Old Boys have been significant in continuing to provide a scholarship to the secondary school and the continuation of their monthly Junior School award for displaying School Spirit is also greatly appreciated. Events like the Golf Day, the Sportsmen’s Lunch, Brendan Ryan (’91) Cup for winter sports, the Steve Leahy (‘78) Cup for the summer sports and the many reunions have kept Old Boys connected with their alma mater. I would also like to congratulate Calum Braham winner of this year’s Tesla Medal as the highest grade student in the Classical Mechanics and Electrodynamics at the Faculty of Science of the University of Western Australia in Perth, Western Australia. Tesla medal is annual award established by Tesla Forum of WA Inc. and UWA to recognize the best performing students in the fields related to Nikola Tesla, visionary scientist and inventor, whose life and work symbolise the triumph of science, peace and cooperation among nations.
The Golden Heritage Club for those students who left Trinity 50 or more years ago continues to be well supported. I know that our current Year 12 students appreciated these Old Boys being part of their Term 1 Mass, and the members enjoyed being interviewed by the Year 6 boys about their old school days and their visit to Camp Kelly in Dwellingup. The memorial planting of a wattle in honour of Laurie Besley (’63) was a particularly moving ceremony.
Thank you to our Staff
Facilities
Farewell
This has been another busy year with respect to the further development of our facilities. Early in the year the uniform shop, outdoor courts and raising of the main oval were all completed. Construction commenced on the new Multi-purpose Centre with an expected completion date of July 2016. The College has worked closely with Lend Lease regarding the Waterbank development, the East Perth Stakeholders Committee regarding transport options for the new stadium, York Rizzani De Eccher the successful tenders for the new walk bridge connecting East Perth with the stadium and the WACA regarding their new master plan development.
My thanks are extended to all the clergy who have played a role in the College and I especially thank Fra Oscar Aguilera who, as our College Chaplain, makes himself available for Masses, sacramental programs and retreats and his support and presence are greatly appreciated.
Each year we say farewell to a number of staff who begin a new chapter of their life. We say goodbye to Mr Ray Archibald (D&T), Miss Claire Beardsley (HR), Mr Jonathan Brown (Maths), Mr Brad Chapman (IT), Mr Simon Harvey (Deputy Principal), Miss Kelsey Higginbotham (English), Mrs Carole Hodder (Headmaster’s PA), Mr Sam Glass (Mathematics), Mr Peter Jones (English), Mr Ross Jacobs (Maths), Ms Rebecca Keshwar (Library), Ms Elise Kukulka (English/Dance), Ms Elizabeth Lawless (Library), Dr Chong-Wah Liew (Science), Ms Aveen O’Brien (Counsellor), Mr Callum Redeki (PE Assistant), Ms Kate Raphael (English), Ms Aimee Smith (Dance), Ms Margaret Trutwein (Junior School), Ms Ventia Webber (Music), Mrs Debbie Viskovich (Education Assistant) and Mr Josh Weymouth (HR). This year whilst not saying farewell to Mr Gordon Dean, we do wish him well as he moves, after 29 years of teaching in the Junior School, to teaching in the Secondary School.
Thank you to our Parents
Conclusion
Trinity College can be very proud of its parental involvement. It is a credit to the College that we are blessed with a group of parents who believe that the education of their sons deserves their involvement. The value of having such extensive support from a large number of parents must never be underestimated. Many of them take on an additional burden of leadership within their groups and I thank them for the extra time and energy that this involves.
As 2015 draws to a close, we can look back on another busy and productive year, one where students have been encouraged to realise their potential. I fervently pray that we continue to work together – clergy, parents, staff and students – to provide the best education for every student in our care. I firmly believe that we are well-placed to continue to provide a first class authentic Catholic education for the students of Trinity College.
Thank you to the Clergy
Trinity College is blessed with an extraordinary staff. I am constantly in awe of the number of opportunities that our staff members are prepared to initiate and undertake for our students. Many of these opportunities occur during weekends and over the holidays when our staff would usually be with their own families. We must never take their efforts and dedication for granted. I thank the staff for their unending generosity and professionalism.

College Board It is my absolute privilege, in my first year as Chair of the College Board, to provide the following report and observations on another wonderfully successful year for Trinity College. Mr John Driscoll (’79) Board Chair If Trinity was any normal school we would be looking at 2015 and be celebrating our successes; be it from an academic achievement point of view, for achievement in performing arts, and of course for success on the sporting field. Our performance across all normal areas of College life deserves recognition for the efforts of our students and most importantly for the efforts of our wonderful teachers and staff.

For regular visitors to Trinity, it is strikingly evident that we live in a world of change with major infrastructure projects occurring around us in every direction. Indeed the construction of our own Multi-purpose Facility is now making a bold statement at the entrance to the College. The pace of change in our physical environment coupled with changes in our social and economic environments continue to pose unique challenges to Trinity operating as a College in the Edmund Rice tradition. It is difficult to separate the touchstones of an Edmund Rice education: Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, and Justice and Spirituality. Quite rightfully each touchstone seems to have equal importance. In my Trinity journey, first as a student, then as a parent, and now as a Board member these touchstones come to life through the mantra of being a Man for Others. I am constantly reminded of the importance of this mantra, be it through the examples set by our staff, the actions of our students, their care for each other in all aspects of College life, their respect and concern for others in the community, their inclusion of others and their adoption of the principles of Edmund Rice, be it in a contemporary environment. The success of creating an incredibly powerful sense of community, inclusiveness and responsibility amongst a student cohort that is as geographically diverse as Trinity’s is an achievement that deserves recognition, as it is an achievement that does not come easily. In this regard I would like to acknowledge the efforts and commitment of our Headmaster, Mr Ivan Banks. 16
Multi-purpose Building December 2015
An important demonstration of our commitment to the principle of inclusiveness exists through our various programs that ensure access to a Trinity education across a broad cross section of the community. This year, through the efforts of Board member, The Hon. Chris Ellison, and with contributions from both the College and the College Foundation we have been able to extend this program to be able to offer a Trinity scholarship to the sons of SAS members who have been killed in action and to refugee students. The support of all contributors to our scholarship programs, and in particular our parent community who embrace the concept of co-responsibility, deserve our thanks for their practical demonstration of being faithful to the principle of inclusiveness. Whilst our spiritual commitment to an education in the traditions of Edmund Rice may continue to grow, so too does our practical need to ensure that the physical infrastructure of Trinity College keeps pace with the needs of a contemporary school. Last year, Mr Chris Sutherland

outlined the 25 year infrastructure plan for Trinity that has been prepared and is currently being implemented, the Multi-purpose Facility being the first in this staged development. This plan will guide an orderly progression of building development over an extended period allowing for the College to not only replace aging infrastructure, but also make optimal use of our unique environment, ensuring the long-term appropriateness of a city-based College, but through a sustained building program that remains affordable and with minimal disruption to students. In the past twelve months our Board has been extensively engaged to bringing this program to life with Board members, Ms Jane Deykin-O’Dea and Mr Tony Metcalf willingly contributing their construction and architectural expertise and our Finance and Risk Committee, led by Mr Andrew Whitechurch, providing long-term financial planning to ensure the College remains within safe and affordable lending parameters. As building and infrastructure changes outside our boundary continue to take shape and have an impact on our site, our Board is ever-vigilant of the impact that some developments may have if the interests of Trinity are not fully taken into account. Throughout the year numerous meetings and negotiations have taken place with legal input from Mrs Margie Tannock and The Hon. Chris Ellison aimed at protecting the safety of students and the ambiance of our unique site.
I sincerely thank all Board members for their total commitment to Trinity College during 2015. Our board of Mrs Margie Tannock, The Hon. Chris Ellison, Mr Andrew Whitechurch, Ms Jane Deykin-O’Dea, Br Pat Kelly, Mr Don Parnell, Mr Basil Mistilis bring a commitment to the principles of Trinity College and give their time and their professional skills freely. I would particularly like to thank Mr Andrew Whitechurch who is retiring from the Board and from his Chairmanship of the Finance and Risk Committee after five years’ service. It also gives me great pleasure to welcome new Board member, Mr Stephen Maloney, who we look forward to working with in 2016. Finally, I again acknowledge and thank our Headmaster, Mr Ivan Banks for his total commitment to Trinity College and to the principles that the College stands for; and to our College Bursar and Board Secretary, Mr Michael Burgess, who shares that vision and guides our financial discussions with a precision that underpins the efficiency of the College; and to all our staff whose efforts are evident in the success of the reason we are all here – our sons and students. Mr John Driscoll (’79) Board Chair

College Bursar It has been a year of improvement on many fronts within the College in 2015. Mr Michael Burgess Bursar The Master Plan development has commenced and it is good to see that the first building, namely, the Multi-Purpose facility is almost ready to be fitted out internally. Planning has also commenced on the refurbishment of the Foley Centre into a Senior Learning Centre, and will include a classroom link building to adjoin the new Multi-Purpose facility. These buildings would not be possible without the assistance of families who commit to the Building Fund Donation program.
Thank you to all the administration, grounds and maintenance, canteen and clothing shop staff and volunteers who work together to make Trinity College the place it is and who support the academic staff in educating each of your sons. I would like to especially thank Assistant Bursar, Ms Terri-Ann Lennox who ensures that she is always there to support me in my role. For 2015 the income and expenditure of the College remained tight as we look to the future and the realisation of the Master Plan. Please refer below for a graphical representation of the financial makeup of the 2015 financials. Mr Michael Burgess Bursar
This year the tuition fee concession contribution to parents who are having difficulty, increased to $533,000, while the scholarship and bursary program grew to $656,000. The Trinity College Foundation also increased its commitment with the addition of another refugee student bursary; they now support six aboriginal students and four refugee students. The funding from the Trinity College Foundation comes from partnerships with organisations such as Programmed, OfficeMax, TOBA, Colibri Pty Ltd, some private individuals and the contribution made by parents at the start of their son’s enrolment. Within the tuition fee there is also a small contribution from each of the parents towards assisting other parents to meet the financial demands of having a student at the College. In a small way, this helps the College to remain diverse in its community population, which is a good aspect about Trinity. Marketing has been a major activity this year with an expanded social media platform, the use of video content and advertising on backs of buses and billboards. People have often asked me why we advertise given the strength of our enrolments; the answer is that we cannot rest on our laurels and we must always let people know of our existence and our readiness to enrol students from a diverse range of cultures. Thank you to the team: Ms Sandra Doick, Ms Natasha Spykerman, Ms Kelli Pala, Ms Diane Millar and Miss Karyn Pickering.

Chaplain It has been a year of improvement on many fronts within the College in 2015. Fra Oscar M Aguilera OSM Chaplain There is a particular chapter from the Book of Ecclesiastes, one of the books from the Hebrew Testament (Old Testament), which forms parts of the Canonical Wisdom Books, where it deals with ‘time’ and how “there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens”. Well, this year has been a bit like that!
Junior School Presentation Night
“A time to be born and a time to die.” We have rejoiced with lots of families from our school community who have been blessed with the arrival of a new member of their families; the birth of a baby, especially a first-born, is always a beautiful, enriching and fulfilling experience. On my part, to be asked to celebrate their baptism, to be part of their life journey, is very gratifying and an honour. On the other side of the spectrum, there have been a few unexpected deaths of members of the TC family. It is very sad to have to say goodbye to dear and loved ones. Yet, it’s a certainty in our earthly pilgrimage. I have had the privilege of being part of such an intimate and private moment in the life of families by the Anointing the Sick or by celebrating the Mass of Christian Resurrection. “A time to plant and a time to uproot.” This was the case with the oval at the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. Not having that extra space for the students to have an outlet for their youthful energy certainly put everyone under a bit of pressure.
Year 6 Graduation Mass
“A time to tear down and a time to build.” We then lost the tennis courts; the uniform shop and the parking areas – better not to go there! I am sure that once everything is done, it will be amazing. “A time to weep and a time to laugh.” With this line from the Book of Ecclesiastes, I have to look no further than the retreats, especially Kairos – without giving anything away, there were moments of tears and moments of laughter. Traditionally, during retreats, I have had the opportunity to get to know the students on a deeper level. As always, I am amazed at the communal insight and depth that they possess. I rejoice as I see that there is hope for the future. Junior School Mothers’ Day Mass and Morning Tea

“A time to grieve and a time to dance.” There have definitely been some of these moments – especially during tests and exam times. Grief, as the results were given out with some students realising that the effort that they put in wasn’t good enough, and perhaps there should have been less time on such distractions as Facebook, Internet or Xbox may have been the way to go! For other students, maybe dancing was in order, as unexpected marks were reached and goals were surpassed. “A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them.” The choosing of subjects for Year 11 is always a stressful time for Year 10 students and their families, as they ponder how the choices they make will influence their future. There is then a lot of tinkering with timetables to fit classes and classrooms. It’s like a game of chess – one move will change the whole timetable. It’s far from being an easy task.
Edmund Rice Mass
“A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.” There have been many times when someone in the TC community needed a friend, or someone to rely on, or to have a shoulder on which to cry, or just to be reminded that, ‘we are not alone in this life journey’! At certain points parents and teachers have to let go as the students become young men, and then adults – men who can stand on their own two feet and are ready to face the world. “A time to search and a time to give up.” The transition from Junior school to Secondary school is a time for some to search for new friendships, especially if coming from other schools, and also letting go of some old friendships as new ones are formed. “A time to keep and a time to throw away.” This year the cupboards in the chapel were finally fixed and the rail for the hanging of the vestments was raised. Therefore, it was time to get stuck into the Sacristy. Time to sort out what was needed to be kept and what had passed its used-by date. It took a few weeks and a lot of elbow grease and now the Sacristy looks amazing and everything has a place, there is no clutter. It could be the OCD in me! “A time to tear and a time to mend.” This year has also has given us the opportunity to revise the day of reflections, the retreats and masses, to make sure that what we are doing is working, or what needs some tinkering to make it right. I have also started to put together the slideshow Masses for the Senior School and have been helping the teachers in the Junior School with their Masses.
India Pilgrimage Mass
“A time to be silent and a time to speak.” As 2015 was my second year at the College as a full-time Chaplain, I came to know the students, staff and families much better. I quickly realised that sometimes words are not required, and just being present is all that is needed! At other times words of encouragement, inspiration, praise, compassion and concern were better than silence. “A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.” As we move towards the future, possibilities and choices are infinite. Finally a thought from ‘The Doctor’: “It is difficult to know what will be a waste of time until after the time has been wasted, by which time it is too late. So predicting what will be a waste of time is something of a waste of time, unless it gives you pleasure, of course, when it probably doesn’t count as a waste of time.” Fra Oscar M Aguilera OSM Chaplain

Mr Gary Malarkey Aboriginal Education Coordinator/Teacher
Ms Karrene McLernon Aboriginal Assistant Coordinator/English Teacher
We continue to provide amazing opportunities for our boys to excel academically, culturally, spiritually and on the sports fields. The program, run by Mr Gary Malarkey (‘70) and Ms Karrene McLernon, has 36 students on scholarships and they look forward to welcoming six Year 7 students for 2016.

Aboriginal Music Program This program is continuing to be a successful venture for Trinity College. We have our regular didge classes tutored by a very talented musician, Mr Steve Richter. We’ve created a band called Diversity with members, Jesse Pigram (11.7), Rashawn Reuben (11.5), Isaiah Reuben (9.5) and Connor Brahim (11.5). The didgeridoo players are Reece Gerrand (7.3), Brandon Jansen (7.5), Brendan Bin Omar (7.2), Roy Kickett (7.2), Izayah Rioli (7.5), Sidney Roberts (7.5), Thairon Jansen (8.4), Alphonse Pigram (8.6), Leroy Pigram (8.6), Jordan Schindler-Thomas (8.7), Lachlan Sibosado (8.7), Brody Green (9.1), Jai Davis (9.7), Kelston Councillor (10.6), Levi Councillor (10.3), Jack Cox (10.4 ), Ethan Hansen (10.4), Ben McGuire (10.6), Jake Cox (11.2) and Troy Jones (11.7).

sounds and rhythm. He is our resident music director for Diversity and we wholeheartedly thank him for his tuition, professionalism and expertise. We have had some opportunities to perform at various primary schools during the year, such as Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School, Gwynne Park Primary School, Embleton Primary School and at Joondalup TAFE. Troy Jones, Ben McGuire, Jack Cox and Ethan Hansen were also invited to play didgeridoo for the opening of the Catholic Arts Carnevale 2015 in September.
NAIDOC Assembly Trinity held its annual NAIDOC Assembly on 11 August in Gibney Hall. This is always such a fantastic and anticipated event, especially with our talented students. This year’s NAIDOC theme was ‘We all Stand on Sacred Ground: Learn, Respect and Celebrate’. This year, Ms Robyn Collard performed the Welcome to Country and addressed the boys about inclusivity and the richness of Aboriginal language and culture. Nelson Waite (12.3) did a fantastic job as Master of Ceremony and Nicholas Vale (12.5) read the College prayer. Our guest speaker was Jayden Gerrand (’14) who spoke about his nursing degree at Edith Cowan University and his involvement with AIME as a mentor to young Aboriginal students. He credits that the opportunity for his receiving two scholarships worth $36,000 to study at ECU was because of his scholarship to Trinity. He also made special mention of the help and support he received from Mr Malarkey and Ms McLernon. The entertainment for the assembly was provided by most of the Aboriginal students in the program. Our band Diversity sang Free, written by Jesse Pigram and Rashawn Reuben. They played in unison with the didge and cajon players and the effect was outstanding. It’s so wonderful to see most of our Aboriginal students proudly performing on stage. Mr Richter, our talented percussionist and didgeridoo tutor is integral in the orchestration of these students’ performances. The other entertainment piece was Mr David Pigram’s (Jesse Pigram’s father and a member of the well-known Pigram Brothers) perform a song with Jesse Pigram, Leroy Pigram and Alphonse Pigram called Old Man from the Bush. Again, this demonstrates the family bonds that are so important for the development of our young men. For the assembly Jake Cox orchestrated, organised and proudly led a traditional cultural dance called Lost Boy with four other students: Ben McGuire, Ethan Hansen, Isiaah Caton and Brody Green. Connor Brahim and Lachlan Sibosado played the didge to accompany this dance – it was absolutely fantastic. Parents, grandparents, family members and staff then enjoyed a morning tea in the senior library after the assembly. A special thank you goes to Headmaster Mr Ivan Banks, Ms Robyn Collard, Mr David Pigram, Jayden Gerrand (’14), Mr Steve Richter, Library staff, Canteen staff,
Education Support staff, Director of Community Relations Ms Sandra Doick, Trinity staff and Ms Amanda Marocchi for driving Nelson Waite back from maths camp, and, importantly, the outstanding and talented Aboriginal students and their participation in the successful 2015 NAIDOC Assembly.
Athletics There were quite a few boys who were involved in the 2015 athletics team. Isiaah Caton was the team’s Vice-Captain and represented Trinity in high jump and came equal first with Hale School. Boys involved in athletics were Nelson Waite, Isaiah Walley-Stack, Rashawn Reuben, Jesse Pigram, Brody Green, Leroy Pigram, Alphonse Pigram, Brendan Bin Omar, Roy Kickett, Ben McGuire and Lachlan Sibosado.
Traineeships Wonderful news is that Sheldon Edwards (12.3) has been awarded full-time employment at BHP Billiton. He has been working in a traineeship for the past two years and was offered a position for 2016. Rashawn Reuben is continuing his traineeship with BHP and we have had reports that Old Boy, Clem Hansen (‘14), also with BHP, is doing exceedingly well. Isaiah Walley-Stack will complete his sport and recreation traineeship at the end of 2015. Troy Jones is continuing his traineeship at Cummins Diesel, Connor Brahim has started with Leighton Contractors, Jesse Pigram and Jared Cole are with Jaxon Construction. These students are fortunate to be provided with these experiences through South Metropolitan Youth Link (SMYL). Chilton Yarran is with Maxima undertaking a traineeship at ANZ Bank. Maxima is looking to provide Ben McGuire, Jack Cox and Ethan Hansen with either banking traineeships or administrative work through Qantas. All boys were successful in their interviews and, this year, they were also awarded a Certificate 1 in Leadership through SMYL. Jake Cox was with Jaxon Construction and decided to transfer to an ATAR pathway. He is doing very well and we congratulate him on this transition as well as the effort he has put in. His English teacher, Mr Martin Guest, has been particularly impressed with his creative script-writing piece, Gone.
Prefect Nomination It gives us great pleasure to announce that Jesse Pigram was nominated and awarded a prefect role for 2016. He has been an exceptional leader in terms of his dedication and leadership with all facets of Trinity College. Jesse was also an award winner in the Biennial Peace Art Exhibition & Award with Balance of life. Well done, Jesse.
Gold Club Members There were two new members in the Gold Club this year. Connor Brahim and Jai Davis. This club acknowledges those students who excel in the academic area and are consistent in their effort with their key subjects. 29
We congratulate Connor and Jai and, of course, our regular members Nicholas Vale, Levi Councillor, Isaiah Reuben, Brody Green and Lachlan Sibosado. Well done for your applied efforts to your academic subjects.
Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) The Trinity College Aboriginal Program is proud to be associated with IYLP which is a fantastic provider of scholarships for Aboriginal students. Ms Angela Murphy, who facilitates and operates this great program, is a wonderful and motivated person. Nelson Waite won a leadership award through IYLP and attended the graduating ceremony along with scholarship recipients Isiaah Caton and Sheldon Edwards at Presbyterian Ladies’ College Peppermint Grove. IYLP has awarded six new scholarships for next year.
Australian Indigenous Education Fund (AIEF) The AIEF is a very professional and great organisation with which to be involved. Currently, we have six students receiving a scholarship from AIEF. Rashawn Reuben’s two younger brothers, Jaeree and Nehemiah, will be attending Trinity next year and this will bring us up to the total of eight recipients of an AIEF scholarship. Mr Malarkey and Ms McLernon attended the AIEF launch in Sydney with students Rashawn Reuben, Connor Brahim and Isaiah Reuben. Jesse Pigram was also invited as a member of to perform the song Country Boy. The audience at this event was suitably impressed with the remarkable talent of these fine young men. They received a standing ovation by some audience members. Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, attended the event along with other dignitaries and stakeholders. This event celebrated the expansion of BHP Billiton and released a compendium for best practice of Aboriginal education. We thank Mr Andrew Penfold and AIEF for their dedication and continued support of our program as well as the education of Aboriginal students across Australia.
We take this opportunity to thank the Trinity College community for their support of our Aboriginal Program. A special mention goes to parents, Clare and David Pigram, who are always involved and ready to help out and support the students. Our primary aim is to continue to build great working relationships with the students, teachers, parents and the wider community. Thank you to all staff, especially Mr Anthony Byrne, Mr Simon Harvey, Mr Russell Hinks, Ms Kathryn Down, Ms Donette Firkins, Mr Kenny Chan, Mr Adam Gage, Mr Brad Chapman, Mrs Julia Reid, Mr Graeme Porter, Mr Andrew Osnain, Mr Richard Herrmann, Ms Lisa Laurino, Ms Kate Raphael, Mr Barry McKenna, Mr Jonathan Brown and Mr Chris Morris for their invaluable contribution to our homework classes and the extra tutoring our students need from time to time. The Library staff and Education Support staff are also fundamental to the development of our students and we would like to thank them for their undivided support of our program and the care for our students. Thank you to Headmaster, Mr Ivan Banks. Without his support of our program and his belief in Aboriginal education we would not be able to provide quality resources and valuable experiences for our Aboriginal students. Thank you to Stephen Spiers (’85) and Danny Hill for their kind generosity in our program by providing three Aboriginal scholarships. They have supported us over many years and Trinity College is very grateful for this continued support. Thank you to all staff at Trinity College who are always willing to assist us with the daily running of our program. Thank you to Ms Sandra Doick for the publications showing our talented young men in Trinity News and on the website. We look forward to welcoming our new Aboriginal students for 2016 and, as always, our focus will be to instil positive work ethics and to facilitate good working relationships with each other and the Trinity community.

TOBA Having been appointed in May 2014, 2015 was my first full year as President of the Trinity College & CBC Perth Old Boys’ Association (TOBA). Mr Peter Torre (’89) President Trinity College & CBC Perth Old Boys’ Association Having been appointed in May 2014, 2015 was my first full year as President of the Trinity College & CBC Perth Old Boys’ Association (TOBA). It provided me with the opportunity to attend the full suite of TOBA functions and activities as President and to share in many wonderful occasions where the TC Spirit was in full force.
Sportsmen’s Lunch
The TOBA Executive Committee approaches each year with two main objectives in mind: to foster and inculcate the true spirit of alma mater (or as we say – ‘Keeping the Spirit Alive’) within the Association’s members and, secondly, to assist in any way possible with the advancement of Trinity College. Our full set of events throughout the year sets out to achieve this. Reunions play a key part in ‘Keeping the Spirit Alive’. In 2015 there were many milestone year group reunions, which are always well-attended due to the ongoing camaraderie amongst the Old Boys and their desire to remain connected with the College. We extend our thanks to each year group reunion organiser, and in some instances, the year group committee, for their efforts in rallying the troops for their respective events.
Summer Sports Day
The Sportsmen’s Lunch was another great success for the year. Clearly, this has taken its place as TOBA’s marque event, with nearly all tables booked on the first ‘save the date’ notification. The event combines two passions of TC men, both young and old – sport, and being of service to others. Whilst the general theme of the event is sport-orientated, with guest speakers typically being sporting legends, the main focus of the event is to raise funds to assist with TOBA bursaries. The generosity of attendees this year was outstanding and, in particular, I thank one of TOBA’s Vice Presidents, Dion Smith (‘87) and Committee member, Rob Foti (‘92) for their efforts in driving the fund-raising initiatives for the event. Winter Sports Day

Guest speakers at the lunch were former Australian Cricket Captain, Kim Hughes and former Brisbane Lions premiership player, Jason Akermanis. Both were very entertaining and amusing. Unbeknownst to us, Jason Akermanis attended a Christian Brothers College in Queensland on a bursary, so his attendance and words were very relevant and well-received. Again, the winter and summer sports days were well-attended. Despite the College’s best efforts, the Old Boys continued to dominate the Winter Sports Day, winning the overall trophy yet again. Whilst revenge was on the minds of the younger TC men for the Summer Sports Day, unfortunately for them TOBA also won this event, making it a clean sweep for TOBA in 2015. We thank the team captains and managers for their efforts and contribution on the day, without which the various sporting events could not occur.
Br Kelly and Golden Heritage Club visit Camp Kelly
Our Golden Heritage men (those who graduated 50 or more years ago) were ever-present at their respective events throughout the year. It seems, just like wine, TC Old Boys get better with age. Their Spirit is strong and they are always keen to give back to the College. One of the ways they demonstrate this, is through their attendance at the ‘back to school’ event where Old Boys sit and talk with current Year 6 students about their time at their old school and to pass on some pearls of wisdom. The younger boys cherish this time and are keen to pen individual messages to the Golden Heritage Club thanking them for their time. I witnessed something special as the Golden Heritage men gathered prior to the event. Two Old Boys, who hadn’t seen each other for a while, embraced with joy and laughter, both saying that it was so good to see each other after many years. Now that’s what we’re all about. It was fantastic to see. The 2015 graduating class became TOBA members towards the end of October at the TOBA Graduation Breakfast. Guest speaker, ASX State Manager, James Rowe (‘84), addressed the graduates and spoke about his time at the College, life-lessons learnt (good and bad!) and his experience in working or networking with other Old Boys throughout his career. He advised the ‘new’ Old Boys that one of the greatest aspects of the College is its diversity and the benefits that this will bring as each of them moves into the community.
PSA Golf Day
One of my nephews was a graduate in 2015, so I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing these young men, some from Year 4, developing into outstanding leaders of the College. The TC Spirit is strong in these men and I’m sure they will make a significant contribution to the community at large, always remembering the important lessons learnt at TC. I encourage them to be active participants within the TOBA community and look forward to seeing them at our events. TOBA maintains its presence and interaction with the College. The current students are our future members and we endeavour to ensure the College’s history and spirit is well-entrenched within each student. This commences with the Junior School and the TOBA Presidents Award which is presented each month to the

student who best demonstrates the TC Spirit. We thank the Head of Junior School, Mr Martin Tucker (’87) for allowing us to make these presentations to the boys and providing an opportunity to have some fun whilst doing so. Old Boys can remain up-to-date with all TOBA reunions and events by logging onto the TOBA website at www.toba.net.au. The website is regularly updated with news, events and photos and is a great way to stay in touch. TOBA also actively participates in all social media including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram. We could not function as an association, nor undertake each of our events without the assistance and support of the College. We are always very appreciative of this and we are indebted to Headmaster, Mr Ivan Banks and his staff for their support across all TOBA aspects throughout the year. We see ourselves as a very important part of the wider TC community and look forward to our ongoing contribution to it. I thank the many individuals who have assisted TOBA throughout the year. This extends to year group representatives, volunteers at our events, students and teachers of the College, parents, ground staff and anyone who has contributed in some way. Your attendance at the TOBA Sundowner is our way of thanking you for this assistance. One of the greatest aspects of the Trinity College community is the willingness of everyone to chip in and assist. It is simply the TC way. Personally, I thank the TOBA Executive for their dedication and contribution to the Association and Miss Karyn Pickering for the assistance she provides to TOBA Executive Officer, Ms Diane Millar, and all other TC administration staff who have assisted the TOBA office.
Year 12 Graduation Breakfast
A special thank you is extended to Ms Diane Millar for her commitment to go above and beyond expectations to ensure TOBA remains as successful as ever. Di’s contribution is outstanding. She is an amazing lady who is well-loved by all Old Boys. Thank you, Di. I look forward to another eventful year in 2016.

Canteen Staff Mrs Sarah Di Bartolomeo, Mrs Anne Murphy, Mrs Cora Knyn, Mrs Carol Watson (Manager), Mrs Julie Colquhoun, Ms Leanne Blankendaal
Thank you to all our mums and nannas that have made our job easier and most enjoyable. Yes, Cora, our singing parrot is still here entertaining us and even the mums are joining in. Some staff could use a singing lesson or two but it’s all fun and we send out lots of food that the boys like, going by the fights to get in the door. The years have flown by. I had one grandchild when I started here and now I have ten. Our canteen is a joy to work in so if you know any new mums to the College please pass on our invitation to join us – we would love to see them.
Our staff has expanded by one, with Ms Leanne Blankendaal joining our team part-time, so to Mrs Sarah Di Bartolomeo, Mrs Cora Knyn, Mrs Julie Colquhoun, Mrs Anne Murphy and Ms Leanne Blankendaal: thank you for another good year. It is so true when people say “you never work a day in your life if you enjoy your job”. Mrs Carol Watson Canteen Manager
We say good-bye to our Year 12 mums. We, in the canteen, love hearing what is happening to ‘our boys’, so please keep us informed. 35

The Trinity College Parent Council has enjoyed a very busy and exciting year. The welcome sundowner held in early February, was very well attended, including a large number of new Years 4 and 7 parents. This was very pleasing to see. Rio Carnivale was the theme for this year’s ball with over 300 people attending. DJ, Bronia, played non-stop and had everybody dancing ‘til the early hours of Sunday morning. A huge thank you goes to the Year 12 parents for all their hard work and creativity. We hosted two guest speakers this year, Dan Haesler spoke about the difficulty of raising boys from when they are little through to young men. Our second speaker was Hugh Van Cuylenburg, who spoke about resilience and covered areas from bullying to coping with pressure and stress, be it in classroom, on the sporting field or in family life. Both speakers were very informative and entertaining. 36
Two council members resigned at our AGM: Mrs Melanie Robertson and Ms Sonya Mahoney. I thank them both for their help and commitment throughout their stay on the Parent Council. We gained two new members: Mr Leon Jennings and Mr Anthony Olivieri and I look forward to working with these two gentlemen. To all the current Parent Council members – a big thank you for all your help through out the year. Mr Gordon Taylor Chair, Trinity College Parent Council
College Auxiliary The Trinity College community’s support of Auxiliary events was overwhelming this year and it proves our TC Spirit is alive and well. Mrs Nicola Gosatti President, Trinity College Auxiliary We began the year with our annual Information Night, which provided a great opportunity to ask questions and gain some knowledge directly from other parents. My thanks to Headmaster Ivan Banks, Carol Watson, Stephen Leahy, Stacey Kannis, Michael Roche, Student Services staff and Auxiliary members for giving their time to provide expert information and assistance on the night. Our Grandparents’ Morning Tea was a joyous occasion again this year. It was wonderful to see our Year 8 students bring so many special family members to this event. The success of these types of events really do rely on the generosity of the College community and the large number of Year 8 volunteers was very much appreciated. Our guest speaker for this year’s Auxiliary Morning Tea was Christina Morrissy. Christina was an extremely fun and light-hearted speaker, who entertained us with her travel and life tales. Once again, we fundraised on the day for our speaker’s chosen charity and donated $1000 to the Alzheimer’s Association (WA). Our Ladies Long Lunch, this year held at Matilda Bay provided Trinity mothers with an opportunity to connect with and meet new people whilst enjoying each other’s company.
Christina Morrissy, Mr Banks and Nicola Gosatti at the Auxiliary Morning Tea
The Auxiliary, once again, provided support to TOBA functions, Junior School events, the Parent Council Ball and supported many ‘Friends of…’ groups at the College. To our new, continuing and outgoing officer bearers; Stacey Kannis (Vice-President), Katalin Torre (Secretary), Rita Rocca (Treasurer), Melanie Day (Junior School Vice-President) Kim Rees (Kitchen Coordinator) and Christina Miller – my sincerest thanks for your ongoing support and never-ending hard work over the past year.

On behalf of the Auxiliary, we extend our thanks to our Headmaster, Ivan Banks, and the College staff. Whilst we work behind-the-scenes ensuring the success of many events, this would not happen without the continued support of the College administration staff. To the College parents who extend their hand of support whenever asked, I thank you. Finally I extend my overwhelming thanks to the members of the Auxiliary – the ‘Women for Others’. The Auxiliary wouldn’t exist, nor would it be the success that it is, without this special group of women. God Bless. Mrs Nicola Gosatti President

Valedictory Address at Presentation Night Good evening special guests, staff, ladies, gentlemen and my fellow students. Welcome to the 2015 Trinity College Presentation Night. Alex Ishida-Livings (12.5) Head Prefect 2015 As the academic year draws to a close and another chapter of the Trinity College tradition is concluded, we gather as a proud School community, to recognise and reflect on the wonderful accomplishments the College has achieved over the past ten months. This night also provides us with the chance to look towards the future with hope and optimism, as new opportunities beckon. But first, let us review the year that was. The year 2015 was another very successful year for the College, with many awards and commendations being presented across our Four Pillars.
Mr Banks, Nicholas Moulton and Alex Ishida-Livings receive the Archbishop’s Spirit Award from Bishop Sproxton
The Trinity 1st volleyball and soccer teams won their respective trophies, whilst the rowing collective also won the Hamer Cup. Academically, the College once again experienced much success across multiple fields and, culturally, Trinity maintained its reputation as being home to one of the best Music Departments in the State by winning the prestigious Zenith Award at the Catholic Performing Arts Festival for the twelfth successive year. However, it was within the Pillar of Christian Service that I experienced the biggest sense of pride. Earlier this year, Trinity was pronounced inaugural winners of the Archbishop’s Prize, presented to the school who gave most generously to the Western Australian based charity, Lifelink.
Alex with his parents at the Prefects Investiture Morning Tea
The reason why this achievement made me most proud, is because rather than it being awarded due to the excellence of a few individuals, it was the commitment and selflessness of the entire College community which led to its presentation. Blessed Edmund Rice once said “were we to know the merit and value of only going from one street to another to serve a neighbour for the love of God, we should prize it more than silver and gold.”

Mr Banks and Mr Jenkin with the 2015 Prefects
Whilst we as a community are humbled to receive such an accolade in its first year of existence, Trinity men do not give out of a desire to receive recognition, praise or material rewards. Trinity men have a strong desire to give out of the kindness in their hearts in order to contribute to the collective goal of achieving solidarity throughout the world. This character is formed and developed through our association to Edmund Rice Education Australia and their strong doctrine expressed in the form of four key Touchstones. The Touchstones represent the values and charisms of Blessed Edmund, and are frequently reinforced within everyday College life. These Touchstones are Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, Justice and Solidarity and Liberating Education. It is derived from this that our mantra of Men for Others is developed and a Trinity education provides students with the opportunity to let this ideal blossom. This mantra is somewhat of a culture and a lifestyle by which Trinity students live and subsequently we are encouraged 42
to express this in our day to day lives. Throughout my time as a student, I have heard on several occasions the implication that there is a noticeable difference between the demeanour of a Trinity man compared to those from other schools and I firmly believe that this is due to the benevolent nature instilled within us from a young age. Upon my impending graduation, I shall be able to say that in my nine years at the College, I have been provided with the best possible foundation for my entrance into the adult world. Trinity College has created within me a definition and an understanding of what it is to be a modern day gentleman – something which I will treasure forever. It has been both an honour and a privilege to have attended such a marvellous school and it is at this moment that I, on behalf of the Class of 2015, would like to thank our parents and guardians for providing us with this opportunity. Your generosity and commitment towards giving us the best possible chance of realising our maximum potential is something for which we will be eternally grateful.

To the teachers and staff: it has been a pleasure to have been able to get to know you all over these past few years and the influence that you have left upon us will be everlasting. Rest assured that all your hard work, often behind the scenes, does not go unrecognised and we are most grateful for your extensive efforts. To the newly-elected prefect body and the future leaders of the College: in the coming years, you will be exposed to a new world full of opportunities and I encourage you to approach and make the most of as many of these as you can. Whilst there will indeed be stressful times, do not be afraid to reach out to your peers, as they will always be there for you. Finally, to my fellow Class of 2015 members: whilst I will go into further depth regarding our experiences next week at the graduation assembly, I take this chance to reinforce my gratitude for your support across my nine years at the College. I hope that in my role as Head Prefect, I have successfully fulfilled your expectations and I will be forever grateful for this opportunity you have given me. It has been truly humbling to have led such a fine group of young men and I wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.
In just under a week, the time will have come for 175 boys to say goodbye to the place we have called our second home for a majority of our lives. And in the years to come, when we return as men, I look forward to observing the ways in which Trinity has developed and thrived. With the Master Plans implementation now in motion, these are indeed exciting times for the College, and under the guidance of Mr Banks, I trust that the College is headed for even greater places. However, whilst the campus may well be changing, I can assure you that our fundamental values will have remained stalwart. As the former President of TOBA, Darren Taggart (‘83) once said “you can take the man out of Trinity… but you can’t take the Trinity out of the man”. It has and will continue to be an absolute honour to be able to label myself a Man of Trinity, and I wish Mr Banks and his staff the very best in guiding the College and its students into the future. Thank you and God bless. Alex Ishida-Livings (12.5) Head Prefect 2015 43

Year 12 Throughout their six years in the Secondary School, the Class of 2015 established themselves as an exceptional collection of young men. Mr Andrew Jenkin Head of Year 12 As Year 12s, they set a standard for being outstanding contributors to the College and wider Trinity community. As a year group they are to be complimented on being so well-rounded regarding their service and support for others, that when it came to their commitment to each other they definitely earned the right to proclaim themselves as the ‘TC army’ or ‘TC elite’.
Students with Mr Jenkin at the Year 12 Graduation Dinner
With many distractions playing a part in their final year at the College, I emphasised to the boys that while 2015 should be memorable it was more important to ensure that “Year 12 could give them a memorable life” through their participation in all Four Pillars of the College, the students were challenged to ‘rise and shine’ and be the most dedicated and selfless man they could be. It is said, time and time again, but it really was a ‘whirlwind year’. From the Prefect Induction and Orientation Day back in January to Graduation Day in late October, every student took it upon themselves to be role models for their peers and did their best to improve the bonds formed between the year groups. Without doubt, one of the fantastic legacies this group left behind was the support of their Middle School peers in PSA sport where they were supremely active in barracking and mentoring the younger Trinity athletes. As a major emphasis for the senior students is tertiary and post-College pathways, students were treated to seminars focused on revision and career options from the very first day. That evening, parents were also informed of strategies they could put in place at home, along with methodology on goal-setting and time management, to minimise the impact at home from the Year 12 ‘pressure cooker’ learning environment. Very quickly, Term 1 had passed and the holidays brought one of the favoured traditions of the graduating class – the annual College Ball. The evening seems to get bigger and more decadent each year. This year was no exception with Gibney Hall being transformed into party central via
Staff v Year 12 students Soccer Match
the ‘Rio Carnivale’ theme. The students’ jaw-dropping reactions to the stunning visual decorations and their outstanding behaviour on the night bore testimony and gratitude to the great efforts and hard work put in by the amazing committee of parents who assisted in coordinating the evening. Some highlights for the year included winning trophies in the sporting arena in soccer and volleyball as well as in the halls and auditoriums as the outstanding Catholic Preforming Arts results culminated in the College again earning the Zenith Award. Both these achievements were largely due to the positive influences from the senior students and while the overall commitment of the Year 12s in participating within the sporting and cultural Pillars was excellent, without doubt, what impressed me most was the burgeoning TC Spirit 49
and camaraderie of the students in supporting their peers. No matter what the activity, be it athletics, swimming or the Senior Music Night to name a few, each boy with three crowns on his chest, was committed to being a Man for Others and cheering on his Trinity brother. Staff would frequently tell me “they’re a quality year group” and while gifted and talented across the Four Pillars, I believe this was based more on the nature of the fine young men in the cohort. All were considerate, polite and driven, eager to support the Catholic ethos of the College and participate in as many Trinity activities as possible. This was most evident by the compassion shown by students in donating blood to the Red Cross as well as supporting Caritas and the DT38 Foundation fundraising efforts. Students lived the beliefs and values of Blessed Edmund Rice in their day-to-day engagements and specifically through their Christian service, some completing hundreds of hours through soup patrol, immersions and winter sleep outs. Many benefitted from an extension in their faith journey which was realised via involvement and participation in regular Mass gatherings, the Tabgha retreat and Kairos 39, 40 and 41. Leadership within the year group was something that every boy embraced at different stages of the year and the Prefects’ dedication and selflessness led by Head Prefect, Alex Ishida-Livings (12.5) and Deputy Head Prefect, Nicholas Moulton (12.7), set the benchmark for their peers to follow. The passion demonstrated by these boys toward improving the wellbeing of all students at the College was most inspiring.

Almost half the Year 12 students had the opportunity to experience and thrive in formal roles such as being a Senior Minister, Cadre member, Special Minister of the Eucharist or as captain of one of the numerous College representative teams.
I feel so blessed to have known so many of you. I was very fortunate indeed to have been able to lead such a tremendously talented and tightknit year group and I thank you all for the great memories and your part in assisting me in my role.
The Year 12 students know that this is just the start of their life-long learning and, hopefully, all will bear the fruits of their determined efforts in Senior School when their WACE and ATAR results are finalised. Many students have been acknowledged for their dedication to academic excellence through winning a prize or blazer honour and it has been satisfying for some students to have achieved scholarships and early entrance to tertiary education.
The Class of 2015 belong to a unique tribe and the strong sense of belonging should give each member a sense of pride and security to last a lifetime. I wish all students and their families the best for all their future endeavours and thank you again for making the College a better place for your contribution.
The Class of 2015 and I thank all the pastoral care group and classroom teachers. They give so much in so many ways and I have certainly appreciated their hard work and assistance. Along with the integral parental guidance, this partnership was instrumental in shaping these graduates as genuine Men for Others – full of pride for the College and well-prepared for a life of service. 50

2015 College Senior Ball Rio Carnivale On the evening of Friday 17th April the Year 12s and their partners attended the annual College Ball in Gibney Hall which was a culmination of six months planning and hard work by the organisational committee. Mr Andrew Jenkin Head of Year 12 The Gibney Hall area, it’s undercroft and foyer were all transformed into a massive party hub fit for an evening of dancing and celebration true to this year’s theme of Rio Carnivale. The focus for the committee was to adhere to the Brazillian festival’s flamboyant extravagance and positive vibe where nothing is too big or colourful and having a good time is paramount. As the attached photos will prove, the colour scheme and attention to detail was outstanding and all guests felt like they had travelled to the beaches and streets of Rio. The guests were fortunate to enjoy live Brazillian music whilst having pre-dinner drinks under the palms and they were welcomed and entertained by the talented dancers from Vogue performers who opened the evening with a choreographed dance to some of Rio Carnivale’s most memorable songs. Based on the amount of positive feedback from the students and staff on the night it was without doubt an extremely successful and memorable evening and provides yet another fine example of how the Trinity College community is truly remarkable. Creating the Social event of the College year is not possible without significant planning, attention to detail and hard work and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people.
Thanks to the parents of the Ball Executive Committee – Sonya Prosper, Nicole Houwen, Nicole Da Rui, Sandy Moulton, Michelle Munrowd-Harris, Cathy Giannopoulos, Mandy Sparks, Clorinda Di Dio, Janet Flematti and Mark Hands who were responsible for their specific areas along with the many Year 12 parent helpers within their sub-committees who gave up their weekends, weeknights, long weekends and school holidays. An extra special thank you is reserved to the 2015 Parent Coordinator Sue Hands who generously gave up so much of her time and did an incredible job in directing and facilitating the many aspects of the Ball. Many College staff also went well beyond the call of duty to assist with the organisation of the Ball both in preparation and on the night and it is the coming together of the community through all times of the year and in many different capacities that allows our students to experience such fantastic occasions as the College Ball last Friday. I reinforced to them in my opening address on the night that this level of commitment and generosity by a School community is unfortunately quite rare in modern times and I have no doubt that the students excellent behaviour and positive attitude reflected their gratitude. Mr Andrew Jenkin Head of Year 12
Thanks to DJ Adam Fanchi (‘12) who did a first-class job in keeping the dance floor busy and maintaining a positive atmosphere throughout. Thanks to Sally John for her assistance and guidance in the lead up and on the night where her experience and leadership of the Year 11 parent helpers and student waiters was exemplary and a great support to all.

Year 11 Leadership and service have been a strong focus within the Year 11 cohort. Ms Susie Edwards Head of Year 11 In 2015, many students took up the challenge of becoming involved in Christian Service and Campus Ministry activities. Students have sought out opportunities to serve through Edmund Rice camps, Edmund Rice Outreach, the Red Cross soup patrol, street appeals, Street Soccer and the Winter Sleepout. Over 60 students volunteered as peer ministers for the Quest retreat in Term 1, where they became ‘big brothers’ to their Year 8 buddies and shared their faith journey with the younger boys. This support of others and willingness to serve is a very special trait which we hope the boys continue to demonstrate in the future. Students enjoyed a week of Christian Service prior to the Easter break. Students served in hospitals, schools, nursing homes and supportive organisations such as Activ Foundation and Shopfront. This eye-opening experience culminated in the Encounter retreat, where students shared their experiences and were encouraged to look at the world through other people’s eyes. With many stories shared, the students came away from the retreat rejuvenated and ready to tackle their senior years. The pastoral care program has focussed on Christian Service, respect and study skills this year. Frame Education delivered a number of presentations relating to respect and relationships. While Elevate Education once again provided university students to teach our students memory skills to help with their exams. These programs continue to develop students to become thoughtful, respectful, resilient and knowledgeable men in the future. The Year 11 river cruise with Mercedes College girls was the social event of the year for the Year 11 cohort. The impeccably dressed boys demonstrated to the Mercedes girls how true gentleman act, while also letting loose on the dance floor! It was a great night.

Students with WA Veterans Minister Mr Joe Francis at the Legacy Appeal
Academically, students have excelled at their studies this year, handling the increased pressure of Year 11 very well. Students have had many opportunities to spread their wings, with many students attending camps for Biology, Mathematics, Geography and Outdoor Education. The standout event of the year was the Drama production of Skate which was a fantastic success. All the actors and Miss Beth Parkinson should be congratulated on their efforts. The Year 11 councillors have been an enthusiastic and dedicated group of decision-makers this year. In March, the student council attended the GRIP Leadership Conference, which provided the boys with the motivation and ideas to set out a vision and goals for the year. The vision entailed the following four points, which encapsulate the vision of not just the councillors, but the year group as a whole: •
We will be a model for how we want Trinity College to be as a school.
•
We will be remembered as a cohort who is inclusive of everyone in our year group, and encourages unity between all year levels.
•
We will be memorable as a group who listens to what people need, and makes a noticeable different to the physical and cultural surroundings of our school.
•
We will be a support for all groups and teams within the school. The year group that doesn’t hold back and is fully involved in all it does. A group who is inclusive, unified and shows passion for their school.
Year 11 Sausage Sizzle to raise money for the Edmund Rice camps
This vision has been a focus of the Year 11 Student Council’s efforts. The councillors have helped to build awareness of Edmund Rice camps, with many students offering their time as leaders of these experience, running the City to Surf supporting the charity, and through the whole cohort providing money. Through various initiatives throughout the year, the year group has raised almost $2600 for this charity and we look forward to continuing to support Edmund Rice camps in 2016. The Year 11 students have been lucky enough to be supported by an amazing group of pastoral care teachers. The care and compassion which these staff possess is clearly evident in their interactions with the boys. My heartfelt thanks goes to Mr Chris Brennan (11.1), Mr Jean-Marc Rousset (11.2), Mr Chris Morris (11.3), Ms Sonia Scordo (11.4), Mrs Brigitte Savy-Walsh (11.5), Mr Paul Bolton (11.6 Term 1), Mr Chris Allanson (‘91) (11.6), Mr Richard Herrmann (11.7) and Ms Sarah Pontre (11.8).
The final assembly with the Year 11s demonstrated what a fine group of young men we have within our cohort. Students thanked their pastoral care teachers, spoke of their Christian Service experiences, were presented with academic and sporting accolades and were entertained by some beautiful music created by Jesse Pigram (11.7), Leo Milazzo (11.6), Rashawn Reuben (11.5) and Keeley Rodgers (11.6). It was a lovely assembly and just a snapshot of what this amazing group of students has achieved this year. Always willing to get involved and stand firm on their values, I am looking forward to seeing the positive impact the year group can make in 2016. Ms Susie Edwards Head of Year 11

Year 10 The 2015 Year 10 cohort is a lively group of gentlemen who, on the whole, strive to uphold the Four Pillars upon which Trinity is built and have a great sense of service within the community. Mr Kenny Chan Head of Year 10 Many are involved with Christian Service activities and love to participate in every aspect of College life. Subject selections for Year 11 is an important part of going through Year 10 and much of the second term was devoted to preparing the boys for selecting their Year 11 subject and opening their eyes to future careers through presentations by each Head of Learning Area and industry professionals invited to the College. It is always encouraging to see students actively putting in time to think about their future careers and realise how this should ultimately affect the subjects they chose for next year. A few years ago it was identified that teaching life skills to Year 10 students would be beneficial and hence the Personal Development and Wellbeing (PDW) Program was born. On Friday afternoons, the boys would rotate by Pastoral Care Groups through a range of different activities designed to assist them in some ‘real’ challenges such as sewing on their own buttons, changing the wheel of a car or memorising a shopping list! The other components of the PDW program include Christian Service at a Retirement Village, the very popular Keys for Life (which provides the boys with their Learner’s Permit upon successful completion), Study Skills, Mental Health and Careers. The program is popular with the boys and it has traditionally been something different for them to do on a Friday afternoon. Social events this year included a roller skating afternoon with Mercedes College Year 10 girls, which was a great success given no reconstructive knee surgery was required and another social with Mercedes in Gibney Hall themed ‘Heroes and Villains’. It was fantastic to see Gibney Hall transformed into a laser light and sound extravaganza with both the boys and girls taking great effort and pride in their costumes for the night. A number of boys were also selected to attend a river cruise hosted by Iona Presentation College, where the feedback received was that Trinity had represented themselves admirably and like absolute gentlemen. 74

With regards to Christian Service, all Year 10s participate in the Emmaus Retreat where students are asked to reflect on their lives thus far and draw out their influences, motivations and discover what is truly important for them. It was very impressive how many Year 10s volunteered to be a ‘Roadie’ on the 2015 Quest Retreat and even more impressive how many applied to be a mentor for the 2016 Quest Retreat. A small group of students were also selected to attend the Kimberley Immersion in 2016. The willingness of this group to volunteer their time and effort into such worthy causes is a strength that should make this cohort proud of itself. Leadership development opportunities always catch my eye and this year, three students Houston Jennings (10.5), Zachary Hooper (10.6) and Samuel Throssell (10.7) were selected to attend the annual Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) where the boys spent a weekend with other attendees from around the State learning public speaking skills and developing other leadership qualities. These boys along with the Student Councillors were also invited to attend a leadership training weekend held by Mr Joel Shinkfield and myself, where together we set activities and challenges that developed and tested their ability to work cooperatively, lead by example and engage in effective teamwork. After each activity, the students would reflect on their decisions and actions during the activities and also what being a leader meant spiritually for them. On the sporting front, the Year 10s have proved they are a competitive force on the field, with a number of Year 10s being regular members of 1st teams. A very large number of Year 10 students were also members of senior musical ensembles and bands as well as drama and dance groups.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Year 10 Pastoral Care Group teachers: 10.1 Ms Rita Basilio, 10.2 Mr Jonathon Brown (Terms 1-3) and Ross Jacobs (Term 4), 10.3 Mr Mark Dodd (Terms 1,3,4) and Dr Chong Wah Liew (Term 2), 10.4 Mr Adam Kealley, 10.5 Ms Lissa Coleman, 10.6 Mr Rod Rainer, 10.7 Mr Joel Shinkfield (Terms 1,3,4) and Mr Paul Van Vliet (Term 2), 10.8 Mr Tony Webb. Throughout the year, each have been sources of encouragement and guidance for the boys. I am proud of the Year 10s achievements this year, both amongst themselves and externally throughout the College. As a group, I have witnessed most of them mature immensely over this year and I know they will continue to develop into senior students that Trinity College will be proud to call their own.

Year 9 Year 9 is synonymous with significant physical and emotional change. With this in mind, at the beginning of the year we challenged our Year 9 students to aspire to reach their potential and focus on making good decisions. Mr Andrew Osnain Head of Year 9 Our Pastoral Care Program involved a number of guest speakers and activities designed to bring the cohort closer together and reinforce the aforementioned challenges placed upon our students. ‘Armed for Life’ engaged our students with a workshop on leadership and developing healthy relationships. Sergeant Graham White from the WA Police Force addressed the pitfalls of social media and the current legal trends associated with social media and the use of portable devices. This issue was a central message reinforced several times by Mr Simon Harvey and myself at various stages throughout the course of the year. The students continued to work with Curtin University and the CSC Study on mental health and wellbeing. Our involvement in the survey will grant our College access to the resources currently being developed by leading health researchers on adolescent mental health and wellbeing.

New friendships were discovered in Term 2 when the boys participated in ballroom dancing lessons, capped off with a dancing social held at Mercedes College. Students were challenged to step outside of their comfort zone, try something new and in the process interact with Mercedes College students. Whilst we did not discover the next Fred Astaire the boys engaged in the lessons with enthusiasm and the positive TC Spirit which is a characteristic of the group. The concluding social was also something to remember, with the boys setting a new standard of smart casual dress which was well received by the Mercedes staff and students. Through such activities students discovered new friends, new tastes and new attitudes. Our boys learned to bond through such challenges, and many were quick to learn the positive attributes of one another. As Head of Year I could not be more proud of the boys who aspired to the maxim of being Men for Others. Students engaged in new challenges with aplomb and discovered new friendships along the way.

The year group was involved in the Sachham Nepal appeal, coordinated by Year 9 student William Gilbert. Mr Dustin Aylmore, Mr Anthony Lunt, Mr John Overton and I were approached to grow beards for the cause, and after raising funds, a shave off was organised on Centenary Park. The total raised by the year group was $1100. All proceeds went directly to the appeal, which provides refuge and shelter for women and children in Nepal. These funds will assist in rebuilding what was lost in the Nepal earthquake. In the classroom and on the sporting field the students continue to aspire towards reaching their potential, receiving accolades in an array of competitions and performances in all subject areas, sports. Such accolades include outstanding achievements in the Australian Geography Competition, Catholic Performing Arts Festival and the Australian Mathematics Competition. I was blessed with the opportunity to hear the Middle School Chorale performance during the Catholic Performing Arts Festival and was so proud of our boys on stage. On the sporting field the success was just as profound, with a number of students achieving district or State selection in sports such as athletics, basketball, cricket, football, gymnastics and soccer. These achievements have previously been highlighted in the Headmaster’s report.

I would like to congratulate all students on a challenging and successful year and would also like to recognise our outstanding Year 9 Pastoral Care Group teachers. I look forward to working alongside our Pastoral Care Group staff in assisting our students aspire towards reaching their potential and setting the standard for other year groups to emulate. On behalf of the Year 9 students and parents, I sincerely thank Miss Amanda Marocchi for her outstanding Pastoral Leadership in Term 2 as Acting Head of Year. The boys were blessed to have such an outstanding ambassador and mentor. Miss Marocchi is a role model for how to treat others with dignity, sincerity and kindness. I certainly witnessed these traits developing within the year group over the course of Term 2. Mr Andrew Osnain Head of Year 9

Year 8 With the abundance of activities and groups in 2015, the imagination of our Year 8s was captured. From investigative journalism to programming robots and launching rockets, the sky was no longer the limit for this cohort. Mr Peter Jones (’03) Head of Year 8 The expanding gifted and talented program led by Mr Richard Herrmann widened the opportunities for students with Year 8 teams receiving gold medals at the World Scholars’ Cup. Jack Harvey (8.2), Michael Miocevich (8.2) and Matthew Roche (8.2) competed admirably at the international round of the cup held in Jakarta. Other academic extension activities included debating, outdoor education bike ride, a poetry slam and the Br Gerry Faulkner literature competition. The Year 8s should also be commended for coping with their first round of examinations and the increased rigour of academic classes. A highlight for many in Year 8 was the Quest retreat, where Years 10, 11 and 12 students prepare and run an immersive experience across two days. Here, the hands-on approach to Christian Service was introduced to the Year 8s and they had the opportunity to bond with and between year levels whilst giving back to the community. The spirit of giving was further fostered through Unfair Day and the India Fun Run which raised much-needed money to help feed and educate the poor in India. Other fund and gift-raising drives were readily supported by the enthusiastic cohort. Culturally, the Year 8s were part of the Catholic Performing Arts Festival where there was a collective effort to bring back the Zenith Award to Trinity for the twelfth year in a row. Year 8s performed as individuals, in ensembles and bands, and as part of the GIG dance crew. The Middle School Music Night was a highlight for 2015 and demonstrated the depth of skill and camaraderie in the cultural department. The inclusion of drama as a popular elective ensures the recent revival of large scale senior drama productions will have well-trained actors in the near future. The sporting commitments of the Year 8s expanded through training before or after school twice a week along with the Friday PSA fixtures. The high 88

level of participation in the athletics and swimming squads ensured the College performed well in both competitions. Notably, a number of boys were included in senior squads, such as the Saturday morning senior cross country. Hopefully the boys continue to grow in sportsmanship within their own teams regardless of the scoreboard. Year group events included the delightful Grandparents’ Morning Tea where boys could show pride in their school and family. The expansion of friendships with Mercedes College students continued with the afternoon social at Trinity and a night-time disco at Mercedes with the theme of ‘wide world of sports’. The socio-emotional program involved guest speakers from Armed for Life and a motivational talk on difference and strength from Paralympian, Brad Ness. A major undertaking this year has also been the school immunisations program, where several doses of HPV vaccine and other vaccines ensured the ‘herd’ immunity is maintained.

My thanks goes to our parents and guardians for their continued support to ensure we maximise the benefit of students attending Trinity College. Pastoral care group teachers also made the success of the year possible through their daily guidance and support of the cohort along with the help from the inclusive education team. I wish the Class of 2019 all the best as they continue their journey at Trinity College. Mr Peter Jones (’03) Head of Year 8 Grandparents Morning Tea

Year 7 The Class of 2020 commenced their journey through high school at Trinity College as Year 6 students at the 2014 Orientation Day. Mr Julian Fritz Head of Year 7 This experience of the Four Pillars was expanded through the wide variety of academic and co-curricular opportunities available to Year 7 students. They have characterised themselves as young men of empathy and intelligence through enthusiastic participation in the many aspects of College life. The Academic Pillar encourages students to reach their potential as students of core subjects and through a rotation of more practical subjects. Students made the most of specialist subject teachers and the opportunities afforded on a larger campus such as science laboratories, design and technology workshops and outdoor education opportunities such as paddling and fishing.

Self-management and personal organisation has been a major focus throughout the year with students learning to manage their lockers, maintain diaries and use their laptops. Organisational skills came naturally to some, but for many, these skills will need to be developed across the upcoming years. Year 7 students were well-represented in extension clubs and competitions including Astronomy Club, the Year 7 debating team, film making club, literacy support, the Quicksmart program and College chess competition. The boys were introduced to the Faith Pillar through the Becoming Brothers retreat in Term 1. The retreat focused on how to live as a Christian community taken from St Paul’s Letter to the Romans Chapter 12 where there is a focus to ‘earn the respect of others and do your best to live at peace with everyone’. Boys engaged in many team-building and cooperative activities including swimming, raft building, hiking and canoeing. During the evenings the boys participated in quizzes and presented some very entertaining skits and performances. Servant leadership was demonstrated through the large number of Year 12 senior ministers who attended to help mentor the Year 7 students and activities were run by the pastoral care and Outdoor Education staff who attended. Different students throughout the year participated in the various Masses through altar serving, as commentators

or as readers. Christian Service was introduced through the Sustain Our Swan program where stewardship and lived service was highlighted. Service opportunities were continued throughout the year with Unfair Day and the India Fun Run where money raised goes directly to schools and welfare organisations in India. The Year 7s showed great enthusiasm and compassion through their wholehearted involvement on both days. Caritas and the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Christmas Appeal were also well-supported by the Year 7s demonstrating their generous spirit. Year 7s engaged enthusiastically in the cultural life at the College through their active participation in the various fields of music, dance, drama, Italian, art and pastoral care activities. An impressive number of talented and budding musicians engaged in the music program, be it in solo performances during the Catholic Performing Arts Festival or as part of various ensembles or through the Middle School Chorale. The Year 7s contributed to the depth of musical talent across the College ensuring Trinity College won the Zenith Award for Metropolitan Secondary Schools for Overall Excellence in Performance and Participation in the Spirit of the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and Colleges twelve years in a row. The skills and timing of the Guys In Groove dance group was inspiring and culminated in performances at the Presentation Night. Italian and Art were experienced by all Year 7 students and enabled further development of their cultural, linguistic and creative skills. A strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support within the cohort started with the Becoming Brothers retreat and continued with workshops on bullying, resilience and positive relationships run by Armed For Life. Pastoral care group (PCG) teachers continued to deliver socio-emotional programs, in particular a focus on mental health and wellbeing. Friendships were forged with the 96

girls at Mercedes College with a sports afternoon and picnic in Term 1 along with a crazy hat dance held in Gibney Hall in Term 3. The Sporting Pillar ensured a widespread participation with mid-week training and Friday afternoons spent travelling to different PSA schools for competitions. The Term 1 inter-PCG swimming carnival was a highlight with PCG 7.4 winning the event. Undoubtedly, there are many talented sportsmen within the cohort but what impressed me most was the level of dedication to their teammates and the sportsmanship displayed by all boys in victory or defeat. While it was a challenging year for many students, it was not without its benefits. The Year 7s have had a busy schedule with many opportunities to cater to most needs and interests. I’d like to thank the PCG teachers who have dedicated much time to the various events and pastoral care activities this year. Mr Julian Fritz Head of Year 7

Junior School

Junior School I continue to be amazed at how excited the boys are about belonging to the Trinity College Junior School. Mr Martin Tucker (’87) Head of Junior School By the end of February, the Year 4 boys proudly and passionately state that they are part of the TC community. I constantly receive comments from parents about the maturity that their boys seem to acquire once they commence their education at our College. It is difficult to articulate exactly how this love of Trinity is fostered but it must be attributed to the care shown by the teachers, the positive manner in which they interact with the boys and the opportunity for the boys to learn from other boys in our unique environment. I also feel that connections with the history of the College through TOBA and the boys being challenged to be Men for Others assist in creating that sense of belonging. This year the Junior School staff focused on using information technology as an integral part of their teaching. Mrs Sarah Wilke was employed in a part-time capacity to drive this learning and she has done a fabulous job in introducing a variety of new apps and educational websites to up-skill and push our staff to develop their abilities in relation to providing enhanced learning experiences for the boys. As a staff, we have explored 21st century learning and used some 21st century fluencies to guide the teachers’ planning and to provide interesting units of work designed to engage and challenge the boys. Teachers have also developed blogs to show parents some of the learning that is happening in classrooms and to keep parents informed of events in the Junior School. The Science program, which was introduced this year, has proven to be very successful. The boys are exposed to quality teaching by an experienced Science teacher in Miss Stacey Turich who has developed lessons and learning experiences which have rapidly increased the boys’ understanding of scientific concepts. Using the Senior School laboratories has enabled practical science experiments in a well-resourced and safe environment which is not viable in most primary schools. Every time I go into the science rooms to watch the boys learn, I see them engaged, thinking critically and having fun.
Mr Dean cuts his cake at a special Farewell Assembly
The opportunities to develop service learning are directly linked to the Edmund Rice charism of being Men for Others. As usual, the boys have been very generous in The Junior School farewells Mrs Trutwein at Presentation Night

supporting a number of worthy causes. In addition to our regular donations to the missions for the bi-annual India Pilgrimage, the boys generously supported those in need both through donations and action. This year the students visited a number of elderly care organisations to spend time with the residents. The Junior School also supported Shopfront, an organisation which provides care for the homeless of Perth. $1000 was raised, which the prefects used to purchase blankets and toiletries to make up packs that were distributed to those in need. We also supported many other appeals, including LifeLink, collecting ring pulls and visiting Wheelchairs for Kids, Unfair Day, as well as a multitude of raffles and fundraising efforts organised by the boys themselves. It is fantastic to see these young men give so enthusiastically. Sharing our faith is a big part of the Junior School calendar and Masses are always reverent occasions. The boys are very respectful in the chapel and sing beautifully to contribute to a meaningful celebration of the Eucharist. We extend our appreciation to Fra Oscar for leading liturgy and always sharing important messages with the congregation. We are also blessed by his presence in the College and his interaction with the students. Thank you also to the parents who support the liturgical celebrations. This year we farewell two staff members who have contributed greatly to the Junior School over many years. Ms Margaret Trutwein has worked at Trinity for nine years, including spending three years in the Senior School. In my time at Trinity, I have relied on her educational knowledge and organisational skills to keep the Junior School running smoothly. She has also been a colleague whom I greatly respect as a professional and as a teacher who is always striving to be the best she can for her students. I wish her all the best for her new endeavour as a literacy support teacher.
Mr Tucker congratulates his son, Ben Tucker on his graduation from Year 6
After 29 years in the Junior School, Mr Gordon Dean is moving to the Secondary School. He has taught generations of boys and he leaves behind a wonderful legacy. Mr Dean is greatly loved by the students and he has a rich pastoral influence in our community. He is also a wonderful ambassador for Edmund Rice Education Australia and leads by example in regard to service learning. I am grateful for his support during my time at Trinity and admire his desire to provide a culture of inclusivity in the Junior School. I wish him all the best for his years in the Senior School.
Junior School Concert and Presentation Night
The strong connections with the Trinity-Terrace Old Boys’ Association have remained this year. The TOBA assemblies are a highlight and provide an integral part of building a TC culture in the Junior School. Recognition and many thanks must go to TOBA President, Mr Peter Torre (’89) for his amazing historical knowledge of the College, which he passionately and eloquently shares with the boys. The Year 6 boys had the opportunity to interview members of the Golden Heritage Club, comprising Old Boys who graduated from Trinity or CBC Terrace over 50 years ago and this was a fantastic experience for all involved. The links which are formed and nurtured between TOBA and the Junior School are valuable in enriching the connectedness the boys feel for their College.
Finally, a personal highlight of the year is seeing the boys grow into the fine young gentleman, striving to be the best that they can be. I would like to thank the Trinity Junior School community for their part in a wonderful 2015.
I acknowledge the high level of support that exists between parents and staff. Parent evenings are always well-attended as are the weekly inter-school sporting fixtures and it is terrific for the boys to play in front of so many friendly faces. The willingness of parents to attend camps is amazing and helps to further nurture the sense of community. Having a strong and positive connection between parents and staff contributes to the ideal that we are on a journey together to do what is best for our boys.

Year 6 Blue Mr Bernard Le Tessier Year 6 Blue Another year in the life of a TC Year 6 Blue student has passed and again it has been packed with camps, excursions, activities and learning. Seeing the ways the boys display care for each other and work together to achieve their individual, group and team goals is always very rewarding. Year 6 is a special time in the school life of a TC boy, as it is their first opportunity they have to display their leadership qualities, as they carry out their various roles as prefects, sports and cultural captains. Another important role the boys undertake is to act as mentor buddies to the incoming Year 4 classes. I am sure all the boys from the Junior School will look back fondly on their time spent here and I will follow their progress through the College with interest. The boys have recorded some of the reflections from their time spent at the Junior School. Mr Bernard Le Tessier Year 6 Blue The Trinity College kids cheer as they are having the greatest day of the year, Unfair Day! The day when it is all about raising money for others!”Sam Zimmermann Go! The Athletics Carnival was a rough and tough day: sweaty and peachy faces proved that. Xavier was victorious after tough opposition from Campion. All factions had fun. Carlos Torre Memories can be as precious as life. The memory I want to cherish most is the Junior School community, with all its great teachers and staff. If we didn’t have them, school wouldn’t have been so fun. Rafael Sitorus Parp! I hear the trumpet below, I am in the Year 6 band and we are playing the theme from Jurassic Park. We had been awaiting the music for weeks. We are definitely getting better. Tom Devine Finally, after seven hours of waiting in a moving box, we arrived at Kalgoorlie – it was worth it. Kalgoorlie camp was a buzz of activity: there was gold-pounding, the Super Pit, Coolgardie and the town halls. Benjamin Oatham GOOAL!!! For the past two years at TC we have been playing JPSA sport on Thursdays. I played tennis and soccer. The ‘A’ soccer team became State champions. Liam Santoro

Boom! Bang! A rocket goes flying into the clouds! I’m at the Year 6 astronomy camp! My group built a rocket. Later I had pizza and watched a movie. I had the best time. Grant Rapkoch

I still remember my buddy from Year 4. I have always wanted a buddy since then so I was really excited the day I got my buddy. I loved playing games with him! Flynn Gahler Bang! It’s the Trinity rugby team tackling the other schools! The Trinity rugby team had a great season this year with eight wins and four losses. Charlie Stops Mr Lamborn has a very unique sense of humour. Art is one of the best subjects in the world. Some of the best products we made were the masks, kite fish, and Japanese calligraphy. Noah McDonald The most inspirational part of Trinity was the first camp to Forest Edge. It was an amazing time. The best part was when we went on the zip line – it was fun but a bit scary. Ashton Jones Beep! The starter’s speaker sounds as the swimmers hit the water like bullets. Inter-school swimming was a fun and challenging event. It’s something I really look forward to in high school. Samuel Thorpe Brrr! The siren goes and one of the best things in the Junior School was playing in two close Ian MacRae Cup football games and captaining one of them. Sadly, we lost. Jedd Busslinger It’s bounce-down! At Trinity I have done many fun things especially playing footy. I’ve played in the A grade for two years. This year, our team played very well winning five games. Preston Campbell Click! The light went on. At the end of every year we all perform for our parents and get awards. This is my favourite part of the year. Performing and watching other people perform. It’s really fun and enjoyable and this is one of the reasons I like Trinity. Callum Lee Goaaal! One of my favourite things at TC was the State soccer carnival because we played all the way to the final and we ended up winning it! It was a tough competition. Brandon Condo Gobble, Gobble, Gobble! From turkeys to geese to chickens – the farm incursion had it all. It was awesome! However, it was filled with strange farm puns. Most of which, were absolutely hilarious. Aidan Dean Yum! Something’s cooking. Smells delish! In Term 2 we experienced a variety of exotic and top-notch food hosted by Mr Holmes. We had our delicious heritage country food fair. Adam Rowe The opportunities never end. Trinity College music has been the biggest thing for me. I started off playing ‘cello in Year 4 and I was in the choir. I have been in the performing arts numerous times. I even became Music Captain! Ashton Cooper Checkmate! I have just won the school championship for Trinity College. In Term 1 Trinity went to a chess tournament. Trinity won the tournament out of 200 people. Luke Candeloro
The ground shakes! We are on in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! The music starts – we get into our places – the lights turn on. ‘BIG’–Boys In Groove is a dance group that encourages young boys from Years 4–6 in the Junior School to dance. Xavier Adamos Nerves are kicking in for my first day at school. I only know a few kids – that was two years ago. Now I have so many friends at school and from PSA sports. The whole three years that I have been here has been really fun. Leon Scurria Learning about Asia was fun. Getting to make stalls and learning about the different countries in Asia and tasting all the marvellous food is what I enjoyed. My favourite thing was making the posters for the stalls. Jack Hudston Whack! A Christ Church boy shoots – crack – it hits Callum’s goalie pad. This is what happens every week for the TC hockey team. We did not win a game but we scored a few goals and we all had fun. Oliver Cranny He shoots – he scores! We’re down by two – can we win? My highlight of being in the Junior School was playing in the State basketball competition in Year 5. We tried our best but we just lost the grand final. Zach Brennan In the time I have spent at Trinity College, I have enjoyed participating in activities with friends. I have really enjoyed C-pep, going on camps and I love playing sport against other schools on Thursdays. Max Zaccagnini

Year 6 Green Mr Andrew Hayes Year 6 Green Wow! What a great year in 6 Green. There has been lots of fun and brilliant learning. With high standards and hard work underpinning the curriculum it has been a very productive year. It sure was a busy year but the boys took it all in their stride. I am sad to see this fine group of young men move on. Camps to Dwellingup and Kalgoorlie provided excellent opportunities for discovery, learning and excitement. Also our Asia Expo and spy gadget projects and Genius Hour were a real highlight and a chance to see some amazing creativity. The class has endured my questionable puns – thanks for that, boys. They truly became young Men for Others this year through their generosity which was epitomised by their visits to Archbishop Goody Hostel. The year has passed too quickly. Good luck boys, it has been a pleasure! Mr Andrew Hayes Year 6 Green
What a year it has been! I have had a great year in 6 Green. There are so many excellent memories especially the Asia Projects – it was interesting learning all about Japan. Joe Macri I have had a truly excellent year. A real honour, this year, was being a Prefect, which I loved. Harley Jennings My favourite part of the year was learning a whole lot more about Asia. When I discovered a new writing style called onomatopoeia – BOOM! My writing style changed forever. Mr Hayes’ puns were very ummm….well??? Best Year Ever! Edward Drew With a squeak of the door I walked into the best classroom ever to see a welcoming smiling Mr Hayes. He taught me how to deliver a pun correctly. Learning about Asia was great fun. Kalgoorlie was a blast and Stormbreaker opened my eyes to a world unknown. A great class with a great teacher to finish off my Junior School experience. Coen Agate It’s very hard to capture a whole year in a few words but my favourite moment of all is definitely the time when we did our Asia Expos. The new cultures, food, music – WOW! Come to South Korea. Dante Holdsworth

Camp Kelly – it was the crack of dawn, there were silhouettes of an animal on the oval. Kangaroos – lots and lots of kangaroos. It was a magnificent sight. I hope to see it again as it added to the peace and tranquillity of the retreat. Paul Marchesi It has been brilliant in 6G. The absolutely most fantastically awesome part was finding genuine gold in gold-enriched Kalgoorlie! Harry Smith WHOOSH! This year has gone fast. I really enjoyed learning onomatopoeia. BAM! I learnt that really fast. Alex Baroni I’ve had a blast in 6G. In Term 2 we went to Kalgoorlie for a week. It took seven hours to get there but my favourite part was viewing a wild kangaroo up close. Now that was awesome! Lachlan Rainer WOW! What a year in 6G – best year ever. My highlight of the year was creating our own spy gadget. It was ‘in-spy-rational’. I also enjoyed doing our Kalgoorlie gold tasks. Noah Egitto I’ve had a BLAST of a year with Mr Hayes – an awesome teacher. He has taken me to camps and even a trip to Archbishop Goody Hostel where I met some lovely old people. With all the ups and downs I’ve had I’ve had a great year. Jaxon Fong What a year we have had in 6 Green with Mr Hayes! My highlight in class was doing our Asia Project. Thanks for a great year, Mr Hayes! Oliver White I had a great time in the Junior School and Year 6 has been my best year. Learning cool things from the coolest teacher and making awesome friends have been highlights. I’ve really enjoyed Art and I’ve really improved at it. M Hayes’ ‘punny puns’ have been memorable. Gabriel Naylor POW! The year went past like a fire gone wild. I really enjoyed doing the book review on The 52-Storey Treehouse, the Asian Project and PSA sports. Massimo D’Amelio My favourite thing about this year was visiting the Golden Oldies at Archbishop Goody Hostel – it was great to see their smiling faces when we arrived. Luke Brindal Wow! What a great year. I really enjoyed creating our own Asia Projects and designing spy gadgets. In addition I really enjoyed visiting Archbishop Goody Hostel. The vibe and all the smiles were priceless. It has indeed been a great year. Lex Homsany What a blast it’s been in 6 Green with Mr Hayes and his mighty puns. It has been a great ride this year, an everlasting memory will be when I had stitches in my head at Kalgoorlie camp. Benjamin Turibaka Wow! What a year it has been in 6 Green. My favourite part was when we designed our amazing Saint Projects. I researched Max Kolbe – it was senSAINTsentional! Nathan Sbrocco
111
What a year 2015 was! This year has been the best, with the camps, Unfair Day, Asia Projects, spy gadgets and Maths. This was one of my favourite years. George Scfhelfhout I really enjoyed being taught by the pun master himself, Mr Hayes. My best memory would have to be our awesome Asia Expos and also digging for gold in Kalgoorlie. Patrick Keenan Wow! What a year it has been in 6 Green. My favourite part of the year was designing my own Asia Expo stall featuring Thailand. It was so fun and interesting! Anthony Collova The best thing this year has been Unfair Day. It was such a fun time. It felt good raising money for poor people. Chris Thomas Wow! What a year. My favourite memory was when we played the Ian McRae Cup against our cross-town rivals, Aquinas. Even though we lost, it was still a great memory. Ben Tucker A real highlight for me was going on camp at Kalgoorlie. It was brilliant to see history come alive. Sheldon Rozario I have loved being in 6 Green this year. I learnt so much and had lots of fun – it was a great year. Thanks, Mr Hayes. Harry Bell Gee whiz! What a year it has been! So much great learning and fun along the way. Kalgoorlie camp was so much fun – I even found some gold! Troy Miller

Year 6 White Mr Tony Maxfield Year 6 White What an amazing year – and to share it with such a quality group of boys who are well on the way to becoming young Men for Others. I will let the boys tell you about our year: Mr Tony Maxfield Year 6 White My favourite things we did in Year 6 White were prospecting for gold on the Kalgoorlie camp, doing the team building games with Mr Thompson at the Leadership retreat and hatching our fluffy class chicks and caring for them. Thanks for a great year, Mr Max. Kuba Jayamaha My favourite activity by far was hatching our class chickens. It was awesome seeing them break out of their shells, taking their first breaths and standing for the first time. It was very touching. Kalgoorlie camp was also excellent, not only the gold but the amazing history of this unique setting. Our Asia Travel Expo was a great learning experience. It was like we really had jobs selling holidays to people. Thanks for everything, Sir. Finn Gismondi

I really liked reading the Parvana novels. Parvana and Parvana’s Journey were very interesting. I did not know anything about how hard life was in Afghanistan for so many people. I also liked all of our class because they were all so friendly. Damon Winterburn The best thing about Year 6 was meeting new friends. I had not been in a class with many of the boys. The Kalgoorlie camp was a great week, we all learnt so much about gold and mining. This year I improved in all my subject areas. Mr Max, thanks for being a great teacher and helping me through Year 6. Jeremy Clarke The things I enjoyed the most were the Kalgoorlie camp, challenging myself in spelling and I loved the true story, Shackleton’s Forgotten Men. I improved my maths so much this year. Mr Max, I loved the way you taught me in such a fun way, especially maths and reading. Zayne Gardiner I liked reading our literature text, Shackleton’s Forgotten Men. It is amazing what Antarctic explorers faced every day to stay alive. I also really enjoyed Christian service at the Second Avenue Aged Care Facility. The residents and staff were very nice people. This year I have improved my reading and writing. Poetry was a lot of fun too. Thank you for being my teacher, Mr Max. You helped me to understand things. Thomas Smith I really enjoyed our class discussions this year and getting ready for Year 7. I loved looking after our class chicks, our Parvana and Shackleton novels. Mr Max has prepared us well for next year. Carlos Tan 113
What a year! Our class, 6 White, has done so much. We have been on two camps, the Leadership retreat at Dwellingup and the Kalgoorlie camp. Also we hatched and parented some chicks in class. My favourite excursion was to the Perth Mint because we learnt so much about WA history and gold. I would like to thank you once again, Mr Max, for such a brilliant year and I can’t wait for high school. Flynn Tyson Getting in Mr Max’s class was the best thing: he helped me to understand more about my school work and reading. I loved Kalgoorlie camp and hatching our class chickens. Dear Mr Max, thank you so much – I wish you could teach me in high school. Marcus Petrillo My personal favourite activity this year was hatching our chicks. I was one of the lucky ones to adopt two chicks and take them home. They are huge now. Jayden Nguyen My favourite part of Year 6 was the Kalgoorlie camp. We learnt about WA’s gold rushes and its history. I also really enjoyed looking after our class chickens. I have improved most in my oral reading. Patrick Scally Hatching the chickens in class was my favourite thing – they were so loving. At our Kalgoorlie camp we prospected for gold. I found some gold – it was exciting. Thanks to Mr Max, I will definitely get through high school. Michael Timms I really liked the novels that we read in class together. My favourites were Parvana, Parvana’s Journey and Shackleton’s Forgotten Men. I liked the way you challenged me with my maths this year. Ryan DeCelis The best things about 6 White were hatching the chickens, the Kalgoorlie camp and sharing time with the residents at Second Avenue Aged Care for Christian service. In class I loved maths and our history work. Thank you for such an amazing year. Jensen Yeo My most favourite thing this year was hatching our chickens because they were so cute. I also loved our epic class discussions on our Parvana and Earnest Shackleton literature novels. At first I was a bit scared about being in Mr Max’s class, but now I would not have it any other way. Thanks, Sir. Nathan De Fonseka When I started Year 6 I was very nervous – new teacher, new class and different peers. I particularly enjoyed the Leadership retreat and our Kalgoorlie camp. I’ve really improved in all subjects, especially maths. Reading the Parvana novels and Shackleton’s Forgotten Men made me really realise how the world has changed and how hard life can be for some families in other countries. Thank you, Mr Maxfield, for such a wonderful year. Alex Devilee Wow! This year in Mr Maxfield’s class: where do I start? I guess my highlights were the Kalgoorlie camp where we learnt about gold and Western Australian history. We also hatched and looked after baby chicks. That was a very exciting an interesting experience. Thank you for being such an awesome teacher. Ben Fritz

Thank you so much for being a wonderful teacher this year. You helped me a lot with my reading. I also really enjoyed going to the Second Avenue Aged Care Facility and meeting the residents. My favourite resident was the Italian man. We spoke together in Italian. He had tears in his eyes when we had to leave. Thanks again, Mr Max. Antonio Galipo I really enjoyed all of Year 6, especially Science with Mrs Turich in the laboratory, all of Mr Maxfield’s stories about history and our literature reading about Parvana and Shackleton’s Forgotten Men. I am looking forward to high school. Thank you, Mr Max. Liam Cooper The best things about Year 6 were, being in 6 White, reading Shackleton’s Forgotten Men and having Mr Max as my teacher. I really improved my handwriting this year. Thanks for making the year so much fun. Taylor Hannah The best things about Year 6 were Kalgoorlie camp, our class chickens and being in 6 White. I improved my reading, handwriting and responsibility. We all had a great year. I particularly liked reading and discussing the literature novel about Shackleton. Thank you, Sir. Hayden Windus We had a great year in 6 White. It was a very busy year and we learnt lots. I loved the Kalgoorlie camp, Leadership retreat and reading Shackleton. I also liked our guest speaker, Mr Williamson, who spoke to us about Anzac spirit and the Vietnam War. I improved my maths this year. Thank you for preparing me for Year 7. Julian Leone The best things about Year 6 were having Mr Max as my teacher, going to the Senior School library and getting a taste of Year 7 classes for next year. I really improved my maths, thanks to Mr Max. Thanks you so much for all that you have done for me. Sholto Foss I really loved our literature novels this year, Parvana and Shackleton’s Forgotten Men were amazing. I improved in all subjects this year and also in responsibility. Thank you for teaching me so many amazing things this year, especially in literature and history. Sebastian Smith The things I loved the most this year were the history lessons, the fun activities we did and everything about 6 White. I really improved in my organisation. Mr Max, you are the best teacher I’ve ever had. Matthew Loo I really loved the Kalgoorlie camp, the swimming and athletics carnivals. It was really good going to the Second Avenue Aged Care Facility. Some of the ladies are from Poland and only spoke Polish so I looked up some Polish words on my laptop so I could talk to them. We also sang Christmas carols and gave them Christmas cards and poems. Dear Mr Max, I hope you had a great year with the class and me. Tex Gorski

Year 5 Blue Ms Kristina Grech Year 5 Blue I love my 5 Blue class because… …everyone is happy and has a good sense of humour. Jarvis Rickard …every lesson in this class has been special, entertaining and fun because we had Miss Grech. Stephen Franse and Lachlan Spencer …it’s fun, nice, colourful and bright. Pascal Min Oo
The most exciting activity we have done this year was… …going on the ski biscuit on the river at Forest Edge. Harry Duncan and Benjamin Palmero …camp, because we did a lot of amazing activities. The doughnut ride was especially fun, because you are in the middle of a doughnut and it is tied to a speedboat. Jason Sundra and Joseph Ipsaro-Passione …our T&E project designing games and toys using basic resources. Benjamin Byas and Nathanael Tomich …writing silly sentences to make our stories more exciting and then acting them out in pairs. It was hilarious! Corey Loiacono
The most hilarious thing that happened this year was… …during Book Club when Stephen made up all these Aussie accents and we were laughing like crazy. Archie Allen …literally anything that Jono or Dion did. Christopher Gardiner and Titan Millen …on camp, when everyone fell off the doughnuts and Miss Grech was better at staying on than all the dads. Zachary Neveldsen …when my best friend Luca and I were playing tag and when I tagged him, I tripped and face-planted into a tree!

Year 5 Green Mr Gordon Dean Year 5 Green Another enjoyable and exciting year has come and gone. Hopefully, the boys have grown – physically, mentally and spirituality. It is always wonderful to see the changes that take place in such a short period of time. My favourite was going to see The Giants in the city. I enjoyed coming into a warm classroom and sharing the fun times I had in 5 Green. James Pampacos I enjoyed the gifted and talented program, performing arts and inter-school chess tournaments. I liked the sport sessions, Maths, Music and Art. I was lucky to have Mr Dean as a teacher. Joseph Milner I liked Art and Maths lessons because it fed my brain. Science was also one of my favourites because it was interesting and scary. The camp and swimming was also good. Dylan Tran I enjoyed the happy environment in 5 Green. There was lots of laughter with Mr Dean always adding a joke to almost everything. I also enjoyed the extra activities such as JVE, BIG, PSA sport and the string ensemble. Luca Gosatti I liked going on camp because we did lots of fun activities. The swimming program was terrific and we had free time at the end of the term. Maximus Garreffa I liked Maths, English and SEPEP with Mr Thompson. I loved History and going on camp with every Year 5 at Trinity. I also enjoyed the rock-climbing and sea-biscuiting with Brooke and getting flung off the biscuit! Swimming and biathlons were other favourites of mine. Thank you for making my time in 5 Green so awesome. Taylor Van Vliet Being in 5 Green was one of my best years at school. My best moment was when we had an assignment on a persuasive text. I chose ‘Dogs versus Cats’. I love to debate and to make iMovies. We had to make a movie as part of the assignment and present it to the class. Camp was great! The activities were great and we all had an awesome time. Rohan Pierotti This year we had some very exciting moments including camp – my all-time favourite! We did climbing and lots of fun activities. I enjoyed the SEPEP program in Physical Education. I really enjoyed this year and I thank all the teachers who taught me. William Day I loved the camp to Waroona. I conquered some of my fears and I’d pay $100 to go back with the same group. Alexander Thomson 118

The camp was the best and I can still taste the food in my mouth. Yannick Gasper The thing I enjoyed the most was being in a class with all my friends. Jude Petrich I liked our teacher because he was lots of fun and I learnt a lot this year. Evan French I really enjoyed the inter-school athletics because we did well and came second.

Year 4 Blue Ms Alana Brennan Year 4 Blue
Once upon a time, in suburbs far and wide, came 25 boys, with lots of personality on their side. With everything new; butterflies in the air, worried some; much nervous apprehension, as to what was to come. Though it didn’t last long, as friendships quickly grew; meeting many new faces, and a playground so new. Black shoes polished with shine, ‘In Nomine Domini’ sewn onto their shirt; they were dressed all the part, despite often being covered in dirt! What new things to learn. Oh, so much to do. Swimming, music lessons, excursions, and of course, regular carnivals too!

Junior School Faith Education Mr Gordon Dean Assistant Head of Junior School
Our aim is to create an environment where the boys can grow in an understanding of their personal relationship with God. Opportunities are provided through class Masses, prayers, meditation, religion lessons and participation in Christian Service programs. Boys were enthralled with the stories told by Sr Trish Franklin, CEO of the Loreto Vietnam-Australia Program who visited Trinity College in March. It was great for the boys to see how their contributions helped the children in remote areas of Vietnam. Trinity Junior School has been involved with the program for many years. Year 5s visited Wheelchairs for Kids and presented Br Ollie with a huge bin of ring-tops as well as some money to purchase a couple of wheelchairs. The Year 6s also visited Archbishop Goody Hostel in East Perth. The Year 4s and Year 6s were prepared by their class teachers to receive the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Confirmation respectively. Class Masses provided the opportunity for the Junior School to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. Special thanks to Mrs Ann Clarke for leading the boys in beautiful singing throughout the year. Teachers have also set a fine example for the students by being involved with the Red Cross soup patrol. As usual, Fra Oscar has been a great support, visiting classes and helping teachers prepare for their class Masses. Boys enjoyed Fra’s visits to the classrooms during the year. This year we had Mrs Louise Fry and Mrs Kathryn Agate share some of their experiences being a mother at our Mary’s Mass to celebrate Mothers’ Day:
129
“Our children are our most precious gift. The word itself, mum, means so much. Being a mum is a truly wonderful experience yet it can also be exasperating with every emotion in between. I have felt the excitement and anticipation of expecting a baby and the overwhelming joy at holding your newborn and feeling so blessed to know that they are healthy. The angst of coming home with this precious bundle when thinking, ‘okay what happens now?’ The guilt of leaving them for the first time! Being so embarrassed, when my four year old son showed he was capable of performing such a spectacular tantrum so very loudly! As mums, we love unconditionally, we protect from harm, we nurture, encourage, support, comfort, advocate, guide, counsel and we drive! We need to acknowledge the love and support that surrounds us from our husbands, partners, family and friends. It takes a village to raise a child and we are fortunate to be part of the Trinity community to help us guide our young men in the TC Spirit.” Mrs Louise Fry “I have two sons at Trinity, Lex (9.6) and Coen (6G). I just need to say sorry to Coen in case I embarrass him because Mums are not very cool at his age as we all know, but rest assured luckily our coolness factor isn’t a direct relation to our being loved factor. I want to share with you my take on being a mum. A good few years ago (28) I met a man, my Phil, and then we married, just up the road at the cathedral. We made a vow to be with each other always and raise any children we had in the Catholic faith. We were the first of our crowd to take the leap into parenthood and once we did get pregnant we had a few uneasy moments, like, not knowing what to expect, how we would cope with no sleep, would we be ok when I stopped work? Who would still visit us? That was the biggest one! I suffered the worst morning sickness ever, but all of those things you worry about just fall into place. After nine months we welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Paige Adele.
130
We fell into being parents and we had such a great baby, fantastic family and friends and Paige had so many people to ‘goo and gah’ over her. I loved being a mum so much and it deepened my love for Phil exponentially. I was in love with my baby too, life felt wonderful. Mind you, our life became little less planned and a little more of let’s see what happens! Unknown stuff was new to us highly-organised folks but we managed. Things were going along swimmingly and 18 months later we wanted to add to ‘the House of Agate’. Things took a little longer this time and Phil was fine with that. While I was pregnant, and even sicker this time, I had a few sleepless nights wondering if I had enough love to go around. Surely I couldn’t love another child as much as I loved the one I had and the minute I saw our second baby the answer was obvious. Lex was another great baby: he slept, ate, slept, ate, slept and was cute as a button too. It was all too good to stop at two so we went again and ended up with our second son, Coen. Going to kindy in rainy cold August with a newborn in a capsule, toddler running around and a big girl wanting the whole story of The Little Mermaid read to her on the mat – busy, busy, busy! I cannot remember ever not being a mum. It’s like I was never not a mum – it’s like they have always been with me. I love my kids ‘to the moon and back’ a million times over. I’m looking forward to many more wonderful times with my babies and their babies. Not that I’m wishing away their lives but to have them feel what it’s like to hold a baby that is born through the love of two people. It’s a precious gift and we should all feel blessed to experience it. I love being a mum and I love the fact that Phil and I have created three great human beings.” Mrs Kathryn Agate

Junior School Performing Arts
Mrs Clarke and representatives from the Years 5/6 Choir with the Brigidine Sisters’ Shield for Overall Primary Singing in the Catholic 138 138 Performing Arts Festival
Junior School Music Mrs Ann Clarke Music Specialist The Junior School boys have had a busy year of rehearsals and performances in 2015. We began the year with the Junior Vocal Ensemble singing at an Anzac Day ceremony at RSL Care in Menora. This year, students from Year 6 were selected to form a wind ensemble, playing instruments from the brass and woodwind families. Students were selected on their suitability for a particular instrument. Term 1 was spent learning the basics of their instrument, with Terms 2, 3 and 4 attending full ensemble rehearsals. Preparations then continued for the Junior/Middle School Music Night, closely followed by performances at the Catholic Performing Arts Festival. Each of the Junior School choirs received Honourable Mentions for their performances, with the 5/6 Choir winning the Brigidine Sisters’ Shield for Overall Primary Singing followed by a performance at the winners’ concert at the Perth Concert Hall. Both the String Ensemble and Wind Ensemble continue to grow and improve, with the Year 6 Wind Ensemble concluding the year with a performance at the Junior School Presentation Night. Almost all our Junior School boys participated in the Catholic Performing Arts Festival and it is pleasing to report that many of the Junior School choirs received Honourable Mentions. The Junior Vocal Ensemble was the winner of the Liturgical Music Shield. A number of other students competing in individual events also performed particularly well.

Junior School Basketball Wow! What a year 2015 was for Junior School Basketball! This year, we were fortunate enough to be coached by both Mr Luke Thompson and Oliver’s (6G) dad, Mr Nathan White. Every Tuesday morning, our coaches made us do a load of drills in preparation for our Thursday games. As a team, we played brilliantly and we were able to win a lot of games. As the year progressed, we were able to score more points each week as we worked better as a team by sharing the ball equally. Apart from the exciting wins we had, the best thing about our season was all the fun we had under the terrific guidance of our fantastic coaches Mr Thompson and Mr White. Well done to every participant in this great sport.

Junior School Cricket Howzat! No run! This year, the Trinity cricket team has performed outstandingly well in the PSA sport competition. From ‘A’ to ‘C’ there were many great performances, the As won many of their games. The As were coached by Mr Bernard Le Tessier and throughout the season the team grew as a whole and there were improvements as the weeks passed by. A highlight of the year was competing in the Katich Mooney Shield which was played against Guildford Grammar School. The team was very strong in the field keeping the bowling tight as well as fielding. The Bs played great this year winning many games and working very well as a unit. The team was coached by Mr John Lamborn (‘69). Some of the boys from the starting Bs squad were chosen to play in the As.
This was a highlight for these players and it just shows how good the Bs are. Now, for Mr Max’s mighty Cs team. This year the Cs played very well, competing to the best of their ability and giving it their all.

Junior School Football Hands! Hands! Hands! This season Trinity’s ‘A’ ‘B’ and ‘C’ football teams each played in ten games. Trinity’s football teams won the majority of their games and played very well as teams. Trinity had a high scoring average. Trinity’s A team won five entertaining games. A highlight of this season was when we beat Hale School by one point, with a goal in the final seconds! I think I spotted a few dads dancing on the sidelines after the goal. This year the Trinity teams were
very successful and won many games. Finally, thank you to Mr Le Tessier, Mr Andrew Hayes, Mr Tony Maxfield (‘79) and Mr Nicholson for coaching this season and a special thank you to Mr Homsany for helping with coaching during the season.

Junior School Rugby In 2015, the Years 5/6 team had a good season with eight wins and four losses which we lost to Guildford Grammar twice, Hale School once and Scotch College once. At the start of the season we didn’t have much confidence from the 2014 season where we had no wins under our belt, but during the 2015 season we had a couple of players who improved a lot. I would like to thank Finlay Koenig-luck (’13) and Noah Harris (‘13) for coming down on Tuesday mornings and leading our training sessions and on Thursday afternoons to coach our games. I would also like to thank Mr Darrell Stops for managing our team as well as refereeing most of the games.

Junior School Soccer GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!! we say, as TC has another great season of soccer in the PSA competition. The amazing D team continued to improve their skills and ball control under the guidance of Mr Gordon Dean. Ms Kristina Grech’s super Cs have learned game play, positions and teamwork – well done. The B team continued to play at a high standard with goals, saves and lots more, with their coach, Mr John Lamborn (‘69). The A team had an amazing year winning the PSA competition and becoming State champions with coach, Mr Luke Thompson. Their road to the cup began with a demolition job becoming the eastern region champions and then progressing through to the State finals. It was a much tougher run this time but they edged through for State champions! The College soccer teams thank the four coaches. We could not have done it without them. Liam Santoro (6B)

Junior School Tennis Wack, wack – 15/love – this is how the Trinity College Junior School tennis season started. It would have to have been the best tennis season in 2015 that I’ve played. All the players working together and everybody improving and the better players just having fun. In the end, the score didn’t really matter I guess, apart from –yep you guessed – Aquinas, but we are all friends here so we will call it even!
But none of this would have happened if we didn’t have our wonderful coaches Mr Dean and Ms Kristina Grech so I would like to congratulate them for putting up with us for two whole terms and getting to school at 7.45am most Tuesdays. Noah McDonald (6B)
Some of the highlights were playing on the court on which the Hopman Cup is played; meeting new people and playing at different places.

Junior School Water Polo Water Polo is a team sport and you must work as a team to try and score goals. Water Polo is an athletic game because you must swim up to score a goal and swim back to defend your goal. This sport is challenging for me because you must swim up and down the pool. Eye coordination is important and it builds strong muscles that are used for catching, shooting and passing. Water Polo never gets boring and the training mornings on Tuesday are really fun. The A team Water Polo is a really fun and active group. This is because you play awesome games with people who challenge you and play amazing defence and offense. I recommend your son trying Water Polo if they like a challenge. Grant Rapkoch (6B)

Religious Education Mr Jarrad Quartermaine Head of Religious Education In his Apostolic Exhortation, Pope Francis described Evangelii Gaudium, the joy of the Gospel and its transforming power: “Yet the drive to go forth and give, to go out from ourselves, to keep pressing forward in our sowing of the good seed, remains ever present.” It is with great pleasure that I share the many experiences and opportunities students have had during 2015 in Religious Education. The College Religious Education seeks to provide rich learning opportunities and environments for young people which nurture them to develop a hunger for lifelong learning. Students are able to develop into Christian men who have learnt to serve and be responsible for themselves and others. As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice and the Christian Brothers are a source of inspiration for the College community and the Religious Education Department. The values reflected in the educational philosophy of Edmund Rice including presence, compassion and liberation are sources of direction and motivation. The touchstones of Liberating Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community and Justice and Solidarity are reflected in the College values and continue to be developed and reflected in Religious Education. The Religious Education program taught in Years 7–12 is that mandated by the Bishops of Western Australia. Students are provided with opportunities to deepen their knowledge of the Catholic tradition and focus on the College vision and mission statements reflected in the maxim of our students to be Men for Others. The Junior School outcomes include: •
discovering God
•
drawing on human experience
•
knowing Jesus
•
living like Jesus
•
Catholic practices.
The Religion & Life course completed by Senior School students has a course syllabus from the School Curriculum and Standards Authority. The course explores the interplay between religion, society and individuals. Students examine the nature of religion and an understanding of its place in the world. The changes to the Religion & Life course to ATAR and General have been implemented in 2015 in Year 11 and will be implemented in Year 12 during 2016. This will provide a significant opportunity to continue the development of this course. 156
The Religion & Life course provides a particular emphasis on: •
the human need for God
•
finding meaning and purpose in life
•
Jesus and the Gospel message he proclaims
•
Christians share in the work of Jesus
•
empowerment through sacrament and prayer
•
religious identity and purpose.
The Religious Education program at Trinity College is supported by the expertise and enthusiasm of Mr Ray Kosovich as Middle School Coordinator and complemented by the Campus Ministry program directed by Mr Leo Murray and the Christian Service program under the direction of Mrs Marya Stewart. The ministry team’s dedication and commitment to the students are a distinctive element of the College community and Christ-centred focus. The responsibility of the ministry team provides opportunities for students to assist them to learn how to live a Gospel-inspired life. I thank all the staff who have contributed and supported the Religious Education Department this year. Their professionalism, creativity and commitment is truly inspiring and contributes towards the effective operation of the department. The teachers at Trinity College are truly committed to the students in their care. Mr Jarrad Quartermaine Head of Religious Education
Campus Ministry Mr Leo Murray Director of Campus Ministry
“This is what the Lord requires of you: To act justly, To love tenderly, And to walk humbly with God.” 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 Campus Ministry I have the joy of guiding students and staff in preparing for retreats and participating in them and for helping the College community to celebrate the blessings that we receive from God in our daily lives. My favourite quote from Pope Francis is “I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it is out on the streets”. These words echo in my ears when I think of the participation of students and staff at Trinity in the programs we run through Campus Ministry; their enthusiasm and energy in the Becoming Brothers retreat for Year 7s and the Quest retreat for Year 8s; in the quiet reflections shared as we walk around a body of water on Year 9 Galilee retreat meditating on how God calls us in our lives, with participation of Old Boys as mentors; in the way students talk about how God is present in their lives at the Year 10 Emmaus retreats; in being invited to listen to the experiences of Year 11 students as they opened up about how they met Christ in serving others in the Encounter retreat; with the Year 12s on the Tabgha retreat meditating on the gifts they have received and share with others; and on Kairos retreats when students and staff celebrate God’s love in our lives. The same words echo in my ears as I reflect on how the students and staff have prepared for the 2015 Trinity Pilgrimage though India; in weekly meetings; helping with the Red Cross soup patrol as part of Christian Service. All these experiences can only happen because of the generosity of staff members who sacrifice their own time and time with their families to accompany our students on their faith journey. I thank them for their continuing generosity. Mr Leo Murray Director of Campus Ministry
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 realize the deepening of a love relationship with God and to instil an understanding of the interconnectedness of our human family, a family characterized by mercy and divine justice, by peace, love and joy.

Each pilgrimage through India Becomes a special journey: A journey in faith, A journey of gifts – of receiving and bestowal. And each pilgrimage is a journey of self-discovery.
In response to the call of Jesus, Present in all of our brothers and sisters, We embrace the people of India. We explore God’s unfolding mystery in their culture. We seek their wisdom and examine our faith in their world.

Trinity Pilgrimage through India 2015 I recently had the pleasure of working for one week alongside Leo Murray and Rohan, John and Travis at Kadamtala in Kolkata. I wish to make you aware of the compassion and maturity displayed by the boys. This reflects very positively on their parents, their teachers, your institution and the lads themselves. Mr Keith Goves Mr Leo Murray Director of Campus Ministry As soon as the Year 11 exams finished we set off for India. After over eighteen months of preparation, it was exciting taking the initial steps on the actual pilgrimage. It was a long journey to our first placement at Mithra in Chennai, Tamil Nadu – a centre for multiple-handicapped children and young adults with over 90 residents and about 30 to 40 day students. The centre is a school with physiotherapy, dental and medical care for the enrolled students and local people. It is an inspiring and loving community where the handicapped children of poor people find care and love. It also welcomes women in need, who suffer from domestic violence. While in Mithra our students helped the children in class, with feeding at mealtimes and entertaining them energetically outside
of class – this was particularly important when the school was closed because of the monsoon. Our students were outstanding in their enthusiasm in all the activities. From Chennai, we flew to Ahmedabad in Gujarat, where we had the opportunity to visit Gandhi’s ashram, before catching a midnight train to Vyara. Brother Vinay met us at the station very early and took us to Jagruti High School, Mandal. In this rural area the local Gamit people requested a school for their children and so the Christian Brothers and the Sisters of Saint Anna established an excellent school. Because it’s a rural area, there are two hostels for the girls and boys who have to walk more than one hour to school. The boys from the hostel welcomed us to the area and took us for a long walk through some of the villages so that we could get to know them and see how they lived. Our students met the local Gamit students, more formally, in classes during the week and even presented classes. They were very focused. The Gamit people introduced us to their music and dance in very lively sessions.

After a week we caught an overnight train to Delhi and then on to Agra. We visited some outstanding sites that gave us an appreciation of some of India’s rich history, including an iron pillar made in the fourth century AD and massive monuments built by the Mughals like Fatehpur Sikri (an abandoned former capital) and the beautiful Taj Mahal. We even had an opportunity to see India play in a test match against South Africa! Our next journey was a long train ride to Kolkata. Even though our train was five hours late leaving and the trip was twelve hours longer than planned (33 hours altogether!), there was not one word of complaint. We passed the time interacting with other passengers, talking, laughing and singing. In Kolkata the students surpassed themselves in the way they embraced all the challenges that were thrown at them, getting completely immersed in the work at the Sisters of Charity’s centres and at night on the Railway Mission, helping destitute people who live at the train stations. On the way home to Perth, we stopped in Singapore to rest, reflect on our experience and prepare for our return to Australia. In the Trinity Pilgrimage through India, the students are challenged to embrace the cultures of India. They certainly rose to meet this challenge. Mr Leo Murray Director of Campus Ministry

Christian Service Mrs Marya Stewart Director of Christian Service What is the purpose of Catholic Education in the Edmund Rice tradition? Phillip Pinto, congregational leader of Christian Brothers 2002–2014 made this statement: “Our schools exist to challenge popular beliefs and dominant cultural values, to ask the difficult questions, to look at life from the standpoint of the minority, the victim, the outcast and the stranger”.

How does Christian Service respond to this challenge? Christian Service aims to convert students through active service to a Christ-like view of the world and its people, based on respect for the human dignity of each person, love of neighbour and a fundamental option for the poor. Christian Service invites students to be involved in experiences which involve: •
growing in awareness of needs of others
•
responding by acting to alleviate those needs
•
building ongoing relationships with people in need
•
making sacrifices of time, energy and resources to help others
•
being challenged to grow beyond our comfort zones
•
being challenged to look at the world differently
•
working together with others to make the world a better place.

There are also many voluntary service opportunities and immersion experiences in which students can become involved during their time at Trinity College.
Senior Project The Senior Project, because it is a project students choose to do in their own time, involves a wide variety of activities. Many students give up hours of their time to assist with retreat programs, playing leadership roles to the younger students which often build relationships that last over the ensuing years. Others commit to regular volunteer programs like Red Cross soup patrol or Street Soccer. Involvement in Edmund Rice Outreach activities like the Winter Sleepout or Fast for Caritas can also be included in the hours which make up the project. Above and beyond this school related service, every student who registers for the Senior Project must commit to completing at least 40 hours of service to a community group outside the school. Most students complete these hours at the end of classes in Year 11. Some students do this at an elderly residential centre, some at local primary schools, special education centres, shelters for the homeless or with refugee families. Others commit to Edmund Rice Camps for Kids over the January holidays. This year, 64 young men in our College took on many of these opportunities to be involved in Christian Service in their senior years. Nine students received honours for Christian Service as recognition for over 60 hours they served the school community as leaders in Campus Ministry: Bryce Balestra (12.7), Mitchell Bristow-Stagg (12.1), Joshua Houwen (12.1), Gianluca Lenzarini (12.3), James Ludovico (12.7), James Newcombe (12.5), Liam O’Neill (12.4), Aiden Richards (12.6) and Benito Velho (12.1).

Student Reflections Written reflections from journals give an insight into the breadth of the program. Ryan Gonsalves (12.7) wrote this conclusion in his journal. “The call to Christian Service is important as it reinforces the original message of Jesus himself ‘to love one another’ just as he has done and to be servants to each other as Jesus demonstrated at the Last Supper through the washing of the feet. Jesus showed that service is a fundamental element of the Gospel message and thus a key task for his followers, the Church and consequently all students of Edmund Rice schools”. Michael Wright (12.3) reflected “my Christian Service has really identified to me that I can make a positive effect on not just other’s lives but the world around me. If or if not I was asked for help I would easily be able to give and not expect anything in return”.
Mr Michael Murphy with Kimberly Immersion students
Edmund Rice Camps Carlos Soares (12.3) wrote about his time on Edmund Rice camps: “my first impression was that the kids were misbehaving and would be difficult to work with. My attitude changed as I grew closer with the kids and they were able to open up more, then I could see the innocence and goodness in them. Christ’s light showed me that every kid had goodness in them, even though they might try to hide that side of themselves.”

James Loughnan (12.5) also wrote that at first he was apprehensive because the children were close to his own age and he felt a little scared of how they might react to him but “over time on the camp I began to love the children with everything I had; this change occurred with the aid of other more experienced leaders. Christ’s light shone through me as He was able to find love in me to share and give to other children who were lacking love in their lives”. Daniel Martinez (12.7) offered this poignant reflection: “one child was telling me about the dynamics of family life at her home and then went on to say that she wished the Edmund Rice camp would never end”.

Red Cross Soup Patrol The presence of homeless people in our society will always demand that we examine our attitudes and responses to their plight. “I noticed that many of the people we served were not unlike me and by looking at them you would have no clue they were homeless. I tried to be kind and not to judge them as I did not know their situation.” Nicholas Moulton (12.7) “I felt confronted as it was an eye-opening experience so I felt shock as well as sympathy. I could see the pain in their body language and from brief conversations I had an idea of what caused the pain so I was able to picture their lives and challenges. I was able to brighten their day a little and the experience helped me to see more distinctly how poverty has its impact and consequences.” Nathan Sparks (12.4)
Relaxing at Cable Beach after a busy day
“As I handed the food over to them I felt a sense of accomplishment by giving to others. It has helped me become more compassionate in a way that it has made me want to continue to help the poor.” Beau Salvia (12.4)
Aged Care Working with elderly people who, because of physical or mental limitations, live in institutional settings, can be a very challenging but mostly rewarding experience. “Through the experience I felt that I gained the ability to really communicate with those who have disabilities, either mental or physical. This allowed me to really come to see a person’s personality past their outward appearance. I learnt that no matter how a person seems on the outside, there is always a deep and thorough story and individuality behind that. They are human and a perfect creation of God.” Michael Hayes (12.1)
Kimberley Immersion students
Reflections of the Kimberley Immersion 2014 Immersion experiences are often intense and confronting experiences which challenge previously held views of others. “I learnt I should not ‘judge a book by its cover’ where I couldn’t take a preconditioned view on people based on my cultural beliefs. One example of an experience which made me re-examine my attitude to Indigenous people was playing basketball and football with them. They accepted me into their community where I felt fully a part of it, in contrast to people in Perth rejecting them from society.” Jackson Flematti (12.5)
Fun Run to raise funds for our India Missions
“One night, walking down the street in Broome, we saw a large group of men sitting around in a park, drinking. All of us thought that it was going to ‘get ugly’ as we approached. Much to our surprise the men wanted to talk to us and get to know our story and background. In our heads we thought they would abuse us, but they did the opposite!” James Valentine (12.4)

Peer Ministry Over half our Senior School students participate in mentoring younger students through the Year 8 Quest retreat as Peer Ministers or Cadre or the Year 7 Becoming Brothers as Senior Ministers. “An experience which really inspired me was that after the day of being with the Year 8 students, deep bonds were formed between the leaders and younger students. This was evident through the reflection time where the Year 8 students really spoke about their true feelings and some of their struggles. I found this inspiring as it showed how bonds between two different age groups can be formed through the work of helping others.” Alexander Hoang (12.4) “As a Cadre member I felt that we did minister like Jesus as we nurtured both the Year 11 and Year 8 students. We took the life and teachings of Jesus and applied this to the younger years, teaching them what it is to live a Catholic teenager’s life.” Tom Salleo (12.4)
Fun Run for India
“People believe that life is to only work for yourself and to provide for yourself; however, each person was born to serve, not to be served. Through Peer Ministry, I am able to see that it is more worthwhile to give than to receive.” Hayden Da Rui (12.1) “Seeing the boys enjoy the canned food collection so much inspired me to participate in more aspects of Trinity College. Watching them gain such joy in the task made me realise that Christian Service doesn’t have to be a chore or a burden but rather the opposite.” Nick Gillespie (12.4)
Fun Run for India
“I feel that by being an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, it can provide inspiration and motivation to those in the College community, to become closer to God, and that is in my mind a blessing to others.” Sheldon Dias (12.7) Mrs Marya Stewart Director of Christian Service

2015 Edmund Rice Outreach Report Mrs Marya Stewart Director of Christian Service Edmund Rice Outreach continues to be a source of inspiration and encouragement to me in the work of Christian Service because the senior students who become involved are always so enthusiastic and show great initiative in planning and organizing activities. The 2015 leadership team of Callum Dewsbury (12.5), Joshua de Souza (12.3), James Valentine (12.4) and Jack Newman (12.7) were strongly supported by a dedicated group of Year 12 students who made up the core of the group.
Advocacy One of the highlights of the year was the launch of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty on Edmund Rice Feast Day, after the tragic deaths of two young Australians, Andrew Chan and Myuraman Sukumaran who had been on death row in Indonesia for ten years. Over 500 signatures were collected within the College community and, more importantly, many significant discussions resulted, regarding the Catholic teaching on the death penalty and the sacredness of human life. This campaign was lead most diligently by Jed Herne (12.3). Another significant event was held on Thursday 27 August, when Edmund Rice Outreach invited students during their lunch hour to participate in an awareness raising activity for Migrant and Refugee Week. Students were asked to line up outside the makeshift detention centre, given an armband and a scenario to present. When they were allowed into the centre they had to convince the immigration officers of their right to be considered a genuine refugee. Many students had to go to the back of the line and return two or three times before being rewarded with a can of coke, a symbol of their admission as a refugee to ‘Australand’. At the end of the school day more armbands were handed out. The message on these armbands was ‘Refugees are welcome here’.
Prayer Service for Syrian Refugees In response to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Europe as a result of the war in Syria, Edmund Rice Action requested that all Edmund Rice schools participate in a time of prayer. On Thursday at lunchtime students were invited to take part in a candlelit prayer service ‘Light the Dark’ in our chapel. Year 10 RE classes also participated in this service during RE lessons on that day.

Volunteer Activities One of the volunteer activities included a group of students braving the wet weather to be marshalls for the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, guiding a group of men taking part in this international march to end violence against women, around the course set out in the streets around Trinity College. Year 12 students: Jed Herne (12.3), Joshua de Souza (12.3), Nick Valentini (12.6), Callum Dewsbury (12.5), Michael Wright (12.3), Jake Reid (12.5), James Heald (12.2), Mark Leung (12.4) and Year 11 students Bailey Gregson (11.4), Jack Damir (11.3), Leo Milazzo (11.6), Joshua Naylor (11.3) volunteered to assist with this event. Jake Reid (12.5) wrote in his journal “I discovered that there was a large group of men who were prepared to walk in high heels in the cold and rain to raise community awareness of women’s rights to be free from violence.” Six Year 10 students: Liam Spadoni (10.6), Dominic Driscoll (10.6), Oliver Spitteler (10.6), Thomas Coleman (10.5), Alexander Coleman (10.7) and Jake O’Brien (10.7) gave up their evening to help out at the Edmund Rice Camps Quiz night. Organisers of the event were full of praise for the boys and said, “we were all so impressed by how polite, helpful, attentive, enthusiastic, overall, just how awesome they are”. Two Year 11 students, Max Nicolay (11.7) and Fintan O’Hurley (11.6) gave up their Saturday afternoon to assist at a Fathers’ Day event for families of elderly residents of Brightwater The Village in Inglewood. Families came together to enjoy afternoon tea while they watched the AFL game together. Max and Fintan ran a football clinic for the younger children who had come along with their families. Mrs Aureen Donaldson (Life style Coordinator at The Village) sent a message saying “thank you to Max and Fintan who did a great job at our Fathers’ Day event. The children who attended the clinic looked like they were having a loads of fun.” Jack Catanach (12.4) and Mathew Reaper (12.4) took part in the City to Surf to raise funds for Eddie Rice Camps. Jack wrote “this experience enabled me to put my faith into practice as I had the opportunity to put effort and time into action for the benefit of other people without any self-interest, re-enacting the teachings of Jesus.”

Street Soccer and Red Cross Soup Patrol were popular weekly volunteer activities as were annual events like the Fast for Caritas and Winter Sleepout with 80 students from Years 9–12 involved. Much-needed funds were raised by both events and the group also held a sausage sizzle in Term 4 to raise funds to buy two urns for Red Cross soup patrol. Joshua de Souza (12.3) reflected on the experience by saying, “Eddie Rice Outreach has allowed me to serve others directly such as during soup patrols where I could serve soup to those who need it most. However, it has served in other ways by raising awareness of issues such as poverty through the Fast for Caritas, homelessness through the Winter Sleepout and the death penalty through the campaign. Activities such as the Winter Sleepout and Climb for a Smile allowed me to fundraise to help organisations that help the less privileged whilst also allowing me to gain an appreciation for what these people have to go through and enabling me to use my time and effort for the benefit of others.” Mrs Marya Stewart Director of Christian Service

Visual Arts The annual Trinity College Art Exhibition was held in Term 4 and provided an opportunity to showcase our students’ artistic talent. Ms Rita Basilio Art Coordinator A diverse variety of art forms, techniques and styles were represented in our Student Art Exhibition. The display including drawing, painting, graphic design, ceramics and sculpture. The Visual Arts Department hosted a parents and friends viewing evening, extending the viewing hours and providing students with the opportunity to share their learning experiences and achievements with others. It was pleasing to hear students speaking about their artwork in a way which evoked how extremely proud they were of their projects as well as confidently sharing and explaining their learning to their audience. The exhibition was well attended with many enjoying the delicious canapés and refreshments on the night. We were grateful for the generous support provided by volunteers, in particular, Mrs Robyn Jennison and Mrs Jennifer Properjohn who helped to make the evening a resounding success. The traditional People’s Choice Award was very popular and the vast majority of guests cast a vote for their favourite artwork. The vote count revealed talented Joshua Foti (11.4) as the winner. Other noteworthy achievements during the year should be acknowledged: Jesse Pigram (11.7) won a prize in the Biennial Peace Art Award; a national art award for Secondary School students. In addition, thirteen of our students had their artwork selected for the prestigious Angelico Art Exhibition which showcases outstanding artworks produced by students in Catholic schools. Congratulations to Nick Valentini (12.6), Jesse Pigram (11.7), Lucas Mills (10.3), Mathieu Mai (9.8) Joshua Sumich (7.6), Michael Tassone (7.3), Tyler George (7.6), Pavel Misiun (7.3), Nicholas Elloy (7), Jack Kiddle (7.6), Tomas Petersen (7.2), Rafael Fiore (7.3) and Matthew Bottega (7.2).

In addition, the Signum Fidei Art Award is another important prize given for outstanding artworks produced by Years 11 and 12 students. The award winners were Joshua Foti and Nick Valentini respectively. This art award aims to encourage students in their artistic endeavours as well as promote excellence in their artwork. Our art students participated in a range of exciting art projects this year, several of which were inspired by excursions which provided valuable learning experiences. For example, a visit to the Museum of Natural History provided Year 10 students with inspiration for their drawing project. These drawings were later submitted

as entries for the Adelphe King Prize for Drawing. This is an annual drawing prize sponsored by former art teacher of the College Mrs Adelphe King: the award seeks to promote the development of good drawing skills. The recipient of this year’s Adelphe King Prize for Drawing was Jason Gonsalves (10.1). Other notable art awards include the College Auxiliary Art Prize which was won by Mathieu Mai (9.8). These art awards have continued to encourage our art students and we are very grateful to our sponsors for their ongoing support. Our displays of local artists work has become a great way of engaging and encouraging students in their learning. This year the Art Department hosted an exhibition of artworks produced by Old Boy Liam Dee (‘07). The exhibition entitled Natural Synthetic II, was held at the Cultural Centre from 9 – 27 November. Liam’s exhibition reflected a surrealist style and a vision ‘to create worlds where the construct of the natural environment is mainly supported by the organic manifestation of the man-made, where the line is blurred between what is considered to be natural or synthetic’(L.Dee). Liam’s art exhibition provided students with some insight into his artistic practice and further scope for developing their own appreciation of art. The artworks were thought provoking and offered some opportunity for reflection and analysis back in the classroom as well as providing inspiration in a practical sense. This exhibition was well received by the Trinity community and as a resource it provided invaluable learning opportunities for our students.

Music 2015
Mr Robert Braham Director of Music
Miss Athena Litis Secondary Music Teacher
I would like to start this report by paying tribute to the Year 12 students who led the music program this year: Tom Salleo (12.4), leading the brass with his exceptional trombone playing, James Newcombe (12.5) who used his talents as a violinist, pipe organist and harpsichordist, Lachlan Harders (12.6) and Jesse Vivante (12.5) for their percussion skills, Joshua de Souza (12.3) for his String Orchestra leadership and guitarists Michael Waller (12.5) and Brendan Jackson (12.6) for their original music-making. All these students have shown particular dedication through their music in a year group that boasted many participants in both instrumental and vocal ensembles.

In Term 3, Miss Athena Litis, took long service leave and we welcomed Ms Ventia Webber to the department. Ms Webber ably took on the classroom curriculum and conducted the String Orchestra in the Catholic Performing Arts Festival. The seamless transition from Miss Litis to Ms Webber was a credit to the professionalism of both staff members and to the diligence of the music students. In 2016 we will welcome back Ms Webber and Mr Steven Harmer as permanent members of the Music Department. Mr Harmer will be Coordinator of Brass and Ms Webber, Coordinator of Woodwind. I look forward to the contribution of skills and ideas from these very capable staff members. Performances at the ABODA and classical guitar festivals from Trinity and Trinity/Mercedes ensembles continued their strong form from recent years. Both the Wind Orchestra and String Orchestra and both classical guitar ensembles achieved an Outstanding grade. The Wind Ensemble and String Ensemble also fared well, gaining an Excellent award in their respective festival.

In the Middle School Music program, both the Kodaly and Orff methodologies have been further developed in the classroom with impressive results. It has been wonderful to see improvements in students’ musicianship skills and in particular, the standard of singing across the years. As Ella Fitzgerald once said, “The only thing better than singing is more singing”.

All Year 7 students have explored a myriad of musical concepts and genres along with regular hymn-singing practice in preparation for Mass each term. It has been a dynamic and vibrant year of music-making alongside Mrs Ann Clarke, with many delightful moments all round. Highlights of this year include seeing the Year 8s compose their first composition using the computer program, Sibelius. This was in the form of a percussion duet, which they then performed to the class with a partner. The Year 9s kept us very entertained with their compositions, which required them to create two verses of text and set it to a rhythm and melody. The Year 10s composed their first classical minuet for cello and violin allowing them to explore the effective practice of the classical form and stylistic characteristics of that era. All year groups performed either a two, three and in some cases, even a four part sing-and-play canon of a given piece of music. This is a task which requires highly complex coordination skills. It is always remarkable to witness such interesting and inventive ideas from students of all year levels.
Thomas Salleo at the Senior Music Night
Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and Colleges Students across all year groups once again excelled themselves at this year’s Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and Colleges. With seven section wins in the Senior School and one in the Junior School, 2015 was very close to the feats of 2008 and 2014. Special mention goes to the following individuals, duets and ensembles who won their section: Trinity/Mercedes String Orchestra (Instrumental Ensemble), Trinity Senior Chorale (Secondary Choral), Years 5/6 Choir (Primary Choral Singing), Swing Band I (Big Band/Jazz Combo), Kayvan Gharbi (11.8) (Secondary Instrumental Solo), James Newcombe (12.5) (Secondary Pianoforte/Pipe Organ), Joshua de Souza (11.3) and Kayvan Gharbi (Secondary Instrumental Duet), Michael Waller (12.5) and Lachlan Harders (12.6) (Contemporary Band), Joshua de Souza (Chapman Scholarship for Secondary Strings). Of particular note, this was the first time that Trinity had won both the primary and secondary choral sections in the one year. All students who participated must be congratulated on their hard work. The many honourable mentions and section wins has enabled Trinity to be awarded the Zenith Award for Secondary Metropolitan Schools and Colleges for the twelfth consecutive year. A full list of performing arts results is contained in this annual.

Visiting Artist Program In 2015, we have been privileged to premiere a choral work written for the Trinity/Mercedes Chorale by Australian composer, Dan Walker. Ark of My Hopes, Ark of My Dreams is a challenging work for SATB choir, set to the words of poet, Sidney Lanier. After many rehearsals putting the piece together, Dan Walker flew in from Melbourne to apply the finishing touches and to be present at the premiere performance on Senior Music Night. The work stayed in the repertoire of the combined chorale for Semester

2 performances in 2015 and may be a part of the tour repertoire to the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2016. This was a magnificent project and follows on from our previous commissions in 2013 when Paul Jarman composed Let Go of My Hand for the Senior Chorale and Spirit, Curiosity, Opportunity for the Years 5/6 Choir. The Middle School Chorale also worked on a song by Dan Walker. Out There has a wonderful Australian flavour, lots of rhythmic energy and enough intricacy to challenge the chorale. Dan Walker’s work with the Middle School Chorale on this piece was inspirational for the boys, who were impressive with their musical focus and ability to learn quickly. This work was also showcased at the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and Colleges in late August 2015, where it was very well received.
Louis Tasso Santos conducts Divertimenti for Strings for the Trinity/Mercedes String Orchestra at the Senior Music Night
Also working with the senior boys in 2015 was international choral conductor, Jennifer Tham. Using David Hamilton’s spiritual I’m a-Going to Join The Band, Jennifer worked on creating a darker sound for the Senior Chorale performance as well as introducing some very physical breathing methods and reinforcing the need for good singing posture. To have two such eminent musicians work with a large number of boys in quick succession in Term 2 was a remarkable experience for those involved. The quality of singing exhibited by the boys was a credit to their hard work over the terms leading up to these workshops and performances. Trinity has again been fortunate to host chamber ensemble, Magellan, for its second concert series in 2015. The playing composition of the trio has changed this year but the quality has remained world class. In Term 3 the String Orchestra was treated to a workshop with new Magellan cellist, Sacha McCulloch, who explored string playing technique through the Holst Suite. We are fortunate in that Magellan will return for a third season in 2016 when we hope the music students will again be able to learn much from members of this ensemble.
Lachlan Harders member of Concussion at the Senior Music Night
Senior Music Night Parents, students and staff who attended the Trinity Senior School Music Night on Friday 26 June were treated to an evening of musical excellence. With the Fazioli piano in Gibney Hall for the first time, the new harpsichord unveiled and the premiere of Ark of My Hope, Ark of My Dreams, commissioned by Trinity College and Mercedes College and composed by Mr Dan Walker for the Trinity/ Mercedes Chorale, the evening was a triumph of musical talent. Even the Classical Guitar Ensemble 1 overcame being stuck in the lift before coming on stage to play the complex Cuban Landscape with Rain by Leo Brouwer with great expertise. One of the many highlights played by the Trinity/Mercedes String Orchestra was Divertimenti for Strings I. Pizzicato an original piece written and conducted by Year 11 student Luis Tasso Santos (11.1). This followed the Vivaldi Harpsichord Concerto in A major with soloist, James Newcombe (12.5).

Trinity Pipes & Drums Mrs Maureen Barnett Trinity College Pipes & Drums The highlight for Trinity Pipes & Drums was our successful involvement in the Presbyterian Ladies’ College Centenary All School Pipe Band Competition over the Easter weekend of April 2015. Seven school bands participated: •
Trinity College WA
•
Scotch College WA
•
Presbyterian Ladies’ College WA
•
St Joseph’s Institute, Singapore
•
Great Southern Grammar, Albany WA
•
Georgian Pipers, Malaysia
•
Presbyterian Ladies’ College, Sydney NSW
This weekend was to be our boys’ first competitive experience and an opportunity to achieve their potential. During the Friday evening, a welcome dinner to meet and greet was held at PLC for all the international, interstate and local students and staff.
Parade as part of the City of Perth’s Easter celebrations
PLC Competition
On Saturday morning there was a spectacular parade of the pipes and drums to the city streets, as part of City of Perth’s Easter celebrations. All the bands marched from Hay Street mall, down Barrack Street to Murray Street mall and congregated in Forrest Chase. This was a great opportunity for the students to savour the enthusiasm of the crowd of shoppers and onlookers. Each band performed on the main stage to the applause from a receptive audience. The competition was held on Sunday at the Scotch College Oval in Swanbourne. The bands were mainly judged on musical performance, but also deportment, dress, drill and punctuality. The format was arranged in two performance sections; first was a set of marches, second a medley of each band’s choice. In addition, part of the assessment included each band’s punctual arrival at the start point and method of entry into and exit from the performance arena.
TC Drummers in the Easter Parade
The conclusion to the day was a massed band with all the students marching together as one ensemble. This was followed by the presentation of awards to the successful bands. It was a fantastic experience for our boys and to their credit they were inspired and determined to perform well. We are very proud of our second place in the march set and overall third place in the competition. Massed Bands in the PLC Competition

TC Pipes & Drums play at the Aboriginal War Memorial Service
I would like to thank all the parents for their help and am delighted with the feedback that they also enjoyed the weekend activities and are very proud of their boys. The event was a great way for the boys to focus on a common goal; improving their musical and leadership skills and sharing the excitement of a competitive experience. Not only do students learn the skills of piping and drumming in a band, they also learn many complex skills such as respect, self-discipline, confidence, focus, teamwork, building a community spirit and the values of tradition. Trinity Pipes & Drums offer students the opportunity to perform at events such as school assemblies, concerts, presentation nights, Anzac Day and Carnevale 2015. Also, students may participate in external competitions as soloists or as a band and, hopefully, the opportunity to go on a tour.

Trinity Dance Programs Boys in Groove (BIG) and Guys in Groove (GIG) Ms Laura Boynes Dance Coordinator
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.” Alan W Watts This statement could not be truer for the exceptionally talented members of the Trinity Dance programs and the action-packed year that was 2015. This year has seen many changes in the Dance program with predecessors Ms Elise Kukulka and Ms Aimee Smith leaving Trinity College to pursue exciting career opportunities and my appointment as the new dance coordinator half way through the school year. These events have undeniably affected both groups, but their commitment and determination to continue to work tirelessly every week speaks strongly of their courage and maturity to accept and flourish with change. After making it through the very popular audition process, the dance students started off the year with training in street and break dance techniques. These skills were then used, along with some of their own choreography, to make up the first routines of the term.
206
In July, BIG and GIG impressed parents and friends at the Trinity Dance Showcase with a mixture of hip hop, break dance, tap and jazz routines. Some of the senior boys presented original solos much to the audiences delight and I had the pleasure of meeting parents for the first time. Shortly after, it was time for Trinity’s annual performance in the Catholic Schools’ Performing Arts Festival at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. Both groups presented energetic performances to an audience of hundreds, and GIG won a certificate of merit for their routine Please Ya. In October, GIG performed one last time for the Senior Presentation Night at the Perth Concert Hall. Once again, the boys wowed the crowd and left everyone wanting more. We were sad to see the Year 12s off, especially our hard-working Dance captain, Michael Wright (12.3), and Vice-Captain, Giordano Ronzan (12.7). BIG worked hard throughout Term 4 to prepare a very cool routine for their final performance of the year at the Junior School Presentation Night, which was a great success! Lastly, I would like to thank Dr Robert Braham and the music staff for welcoming me this semester, and to the Trinity community for your support. My greatest acknowledgment is for BIG and GIG: thank you for sticking by me on this journey and here’s to next year! Auditions for both groups will be in Week one of 2016. See you all there. Ms Laura Boynes Dance Coordinator

Students perform at the Skate production

Drama Ms Lisa Laurino Drama Coordinator
It has been another fantastic year in the world of drama at Trinity. One of the main highlights this year was the College production of Skate directed by Miss Beth Parkinson. It was an outstanding show that received excellent feedback. Skate is an Australian play, written by Debra Oswald and was based on a true story following a group of kids fighting with their local council to get a skate park. However, this becomes more than just a fight for a skate park. As the plot progresses, tragedy hits the town in a number of ways. Miss Parkinson and her Year 11 Drama class achieved a highly entertaining and polished production. It was funny, tense, emotional with an outstanding set and full of skateboarding tricks. The cast consisting of Conor Mackie (11.1), Tim Adams (11.6), Tomas Wayne (11.6), Liam Crevola (11.3), Matthew Drew (11.3), Stratos Sarris (11.6), Liam Heald (11.1), Matthew Sales (11.5), Nathan Huntley (11.6), Jordan Martin (11.7) and Luke McPherson (11.6) should certainly be acknowledged for their dedication and excellent performances in Skate. The College also saw its first Year 12 WACE Drama class through to exams. Students prepared for both a practical and written exam, studying a range of texts and writing their own five to seven minute solo performances. Students had the opportunity to present their exam pieces at a Year 12 Drama Showcase evening at the end of Term 3. It was highly rewarding to see the performance level these students had reached and they should all be proud of their efforts. This year was also the first time the College had a Drama Captain, under the leadership of Jack Perry (12.3). Jack did a fantastic job at setting the standard for Drama for the years to follow.
As the year comes to a close, we thank the parents of our Drama students. Their tireless support and assistance is always appreciated. Ms Lisa Laurino Drama Coordinator

Once again, our Years 8, 9 and 10 Drama students put together some highly engaging performances. Students have covered a range of drama forms including comedy, melodrama, physical theatre and commedia dell’arte. A number of these pieces were performed at our Drama Showcase Evening and in the Performing Arts Festival. During the festival the students did an outstanding job and in total received 13 honourable mentions. Drama club has been a lot of fun this year with an energised and committed group of Year 7 students. We covered basic drama and public speaking skills and ran a semester of a theatre games competition. The competition was highly entertaining.

Design & Technology Mr Paul Van Vliet Head of Design & Technology (Acting) It has been an exciting year in 2015 for the Design & Technology Department, with fantastic achievements in all subject areas and projects of a high standard being produced. Advancements in technology have kept the Treacy Centre well-equipped to provide the best learning experience possible. Some key factors to our success have been the dedication of our experienced staff and highly motivated students working hard to maximise their outcomes. Academically, we have introduced new courses to cater for the changing curriculum and the needs of the boys. In the workshop environment, a new VET Certificate II in Visual Arts has been implemented with a focus on the wood context. This provides non-ATAR students with an avenue for success outside the mainstream areas. It has proven to be a great success and Mr Glenn Christiansen has worked tirelessly to help the students gain success. Projects have been of a high standard and the boys have been proud of all they have been able to achieve. Design Graphic students have been hard at work on their folios designing structures that are state of the art. An exciting new project has been the disaster relief pods. Here the boys have had to create a design for a transportable disaster relief shelter that could be used to aid humanitarian efforts in the event of a natural disaster or similar. This project incorporates a range of social issues including cultural diversity, beliefs, attitudes and values, all contributing to an environmental awareness in both the local and international contexts. Students have found it to be a meaningful and rewarding experience. Technology in the area has improved with the purchase of a new Up Box 3D printer and a large bed laser printer. These devices allow students greater access to the facility and increase production output. Enthusiasm is at an all-time high and some excellent models are being produced. These machines have been extensively used in the Engineering and Design & Communication courses. Both Wood and Metals courses have been popular and the workshops have been put through their paces with all machines running constantly. Again, student work is of a high standard and the final products are something of which the boys should be proud. In the wood area, some fine furniture has been produced, with the new wood lathes proving popular. In metals the mini bike project has once again proven to be popular amongst students and some interesting custom designs have been created. 212

We acknowledge the efforts of Mr Ray Archibald who, after twelve years of service to the College, has announced his retirement moving into the new year. Ray has been the Head of Learning Area for Design & Technology during this time and shown great passion and enthusiasm for the area. His expertise in engineering has proven to be invaluable, with many students moving into tertiary education in this field. Because of Ray’s love of soccer he has coached many teams over the years with fantastic results and his dedication will be missed. As a department and a community, we wish Ray well for the future and hope this new chapter in his life is filled with good health and happiness. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Joel Shinkfield, who returned to the College to cover staff away on long service leave. Joel has proven himself to be extremely flexible in his capacity to cover all subject areas and shown great dedication to the boys he has taught. Joel previously worked at the College as the Design & Technology technician and, driven by his passion to help others, completed his studies to become a teacher. We wish Joel every success in the future. After another successful year in Design & Technology we look forward to 2016 and all that it offers. Our area will join the national curriculum in the following year and some exciting changes will be made to the learning experience. We wish all students at the College the best of luck for the future and hope that they make the most of all that is offered in Design & Technology.

English Miss Lisa Mack Head of English It is with a sense of achievement that I outline the many incursions, excursions and competitions we have offered in our English courses this year. With the introduction of our new ATAR English, Literature and general units, came the opportunity to start from scratch with our Year 11 programs, to make them even more educationally rich, rewarding and aligned to the national curriculum. For example, our Year 11s in Term 1 were thrilled to, not only study the text Jasper Jones, but to speak up close and personally with its author, Craig Silvey. It was an invaluable experience as students were able to ask him many questions relating to his text’s powerful themes and his life as an internationally famous author. The lads queued into lunchtime and eagerly awaited a chance to have their books signed and to get a selfie opportunity. Furthermore, the College was abuzz with the arrival of nationally famous rapper Marksman Lloyd in Term 1. Our Year 12 1CD students studied his latest CD Rewrite the Ending and hung out with this inspirational role model. By lunchtime the library was filled with students who had been part of his seminars throughout the day. As he performed, many boys danced, clapped and excitedly shouted out the words to his songs. Most students from Years 7–11 were encouraged by his promotion of the arts. In particular, Marksman taught the boys how to rap, express their feelings in writing and to be a man with integrity. Moreover, our Year 11 Literature students enjoyed the performance of Christopher Marlowe’s Dr Faustus at the University of WA and in Term 2 our entire Year 12 cohort spent an immersion day at Curtin University with many other local schools attending. We were proud of our College’s presence on the day, as our lads took the full day seriously; they attended all the lectures with maturity and a willingness to prepare for their end of year exams. Middle School English has also offered the boys many creative and dynamic opportunities this year. Boys in several English classes were fortunate enough to experience the first day of The Giants surreal journey through the city. A brisk walk to Langley Park commenced our observation of the Little Girl Giant being dressed in a yellow raincoat by the talented and skilled Lilliputians, where she then began her search for the Diver Giant. With water spraying from her boat, the boys were able to see the commencement of her travels along the edges of Langley Park. For some, it was anti-climactic, but for many the experience was breathtaking, and so the boys were eager to revisit The Giants over the weekend. The boys certainly enjoyed their rediscovery of puppetry on a grand scale. 214

Once again, our budding young authors were funded by the English Department to attend a four-day writing workshop held at the Fremantle Literature Centre. Our numbers have significantly increased and in 2015 19 boys attended this extremely popular program where they were given opportunities to work collaboratively with published authors James Roy, Sally Murphy, Scott Gardner, Cath Crowley, Isobelle Carmody, AJ Betts and JC Burke. We look forward to another exciting collaboration with the centre in 2016. As part of the Year 7 module The Art of Storytelling, author Mark Greenwood helped stimulate the boys to recount a story in a captivating and interesting manner. Mark Greenwood’s message was clear – “show rather than tell’. He was able to motivate the boys to think about their writing experiences and to have the courage to write with authenticity, creativity and flair. Greenwood retold many mini-stories to help captivate his audience, and to also educate the boys on how to engage their readers and maintain their interest. Our Year 8 English students were busily putting pen to paper in Term 3, experimenting with creative writing. The boys tuned into their five senses, dabbled with figurative language devices and attempted to create some powerful and poignant poetry. To add to their creativity and poetry-writing skills, the students were fortunate to attend three workshops presented by the Said Poetry Society, led by former Trinity student, Matthew Norman (‘11). The workshops explored the Poetry Slam form, teaching the boys the power of poetry and the impact that effective writing can have on an audience. Over three consecutive weeks the boys explored the art of telling ‘your story about your world’. This was a fantastic medium for the boys to experiment with language and be given an opportunity to express their ideas about the world in which they live. A selection of volunteers performed their poems to their peers. The poems were outstanding and all students should be very proud of their heart-felt efforts. Our Year 8 Course 3 English class was once again fortunate to have Donella Brown run a workshop on the importance of identity, place, family and culture. In turn, the boys prepared for their study of Mark Greenwood and Terry Denton’s picture book, Jandamarra. The students were able to gain some insight into our Australian history of Indigenous hero, Jandamarra, of the Bunuba people. As you can see, our year has been very full and exciting. I wanted to take this opportunity at the end of my report to thank those staff who supported my long service leave in Term 2. In particular, our acting HOLA, Mr Adam Kealley, seamlessly and tirelessly managed the English, LOTE and Drama departments. Furthermore, Mrs Rosa West has been an invaluable support to me throughout the year. I thank her for enthusiasm as this year she was instrumental in coordinating our many activities and responsibilities. Lastly, I would like to inform you of my resignation as Head of the English Department. Next year, I am taking a career break to reprioritise my commitment to my family and personal goals. I have been told a long service leave can often provoke an existential watershed moment of this ilk. I very much look forward to returning as a Senior English teacher in 2017. However, before I depart from this role I assure you of the high calibre of teachers in this department. In my years

of teaching, I have never worked with a more dedicated, transparent and compassion group of educators who spend many of their free hours in moderation and preparation. Their goal has always been to ensure our students find the demands of this learning area accessible, gratifying and life-affirming. What a joy to work with such a wonderful group and family, if you will! I have greatly enjoyed my time as HOLA these past five years and I leave my position confident that my replacement will maintain the dynamics of our amazing department. I will not be too far away next year and will look to support the department off campus wherever I can, until I return. Miss Lisa Mack Head of English

Inclusive Education Ms Lissa Coleman Director of Inclusive Education
“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.”
Support continues for all our students where the department endeavours to provide equity and fairness. This support includes testing, case management, identifying and communicating with parents, special exam arrangements, course counselling and selection, making decisions about how resources are to be used throughout the College and staffing. With expanding knowledge, time and staffing Inclusive Education will move further forward in 2016.
Nelson Mandela Inclusive Education incorporates: 1. supporting students with disabilities 2. Gifted & Talented programs 3. post compulsory schooling pathways. It was a busy year in 2015 for the Inclusive Education team. The College leadership made the decision to rename the department to recognise and better represent the valuable work that Inclusive Education has been doing so far and the need to go beyond that and extend opportunities for our students. Learning Support Teacher for Years 7 and 8, Ms Donette Firkins, has continued her great work in literacy and numeracy support for the Year 7s and Year 8s. She has expanded the level of support into modifying programs, writing individual programs, tutoring and offering a far wider range of opportunities for our students in 2015.

Programs such as QuickSmart; the Sound Way to Spelling, Writing and Reading and Cert II Business could not be delivered without the support of the College leadership. These are programs that are research based and have proven to be very successful.
Speech Pathologist, Ms Debra Smit, works predominately with the Junior School and Middle School years providing intervention, therapy and diagnostic testing at the College. She has extended her programs this year to working with small groups of ‘social detectives’, who are on the hunt for social clues, working out the best way to interact with others. Gifted & Talented Coordinator, Mr Richard Herrmann, has provided some wonderful opportunities for our students, with great success. An increasing number of our students are benefitting from his expertise and professionalism. Details of the extent of his work are available on the Gifted & Talented page of this year book.
Year 11 students working towards their Cert II Business Certificate in the Learning Centre
Cert II Business Coordinator, Mr John Overton, provides a bespoke program for students who need a more hands-on approach to their learning. He has also been coordinating post compulsory schooling pathways and work placements for our boys, designing and organising more thoughtful and appropriate placements for them. Through community involvement and real life experiences our boys are provided with opportunities to transfer the skills they have learnt at school to a variety of contexts and environments. These opportunities develop each student’s confidence in gaining successful employment or pursuing further study options after school.
In 2015 Trinity College again participated in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data for Students with Disabilities. This data will be used by the government to deliver information to schools about how they provide accommodations for their students with a view to improve the distribution of funding. Teachers are being asked how and why they make changes and which students need the most support. The College will use this data to make strategic planning decisions.
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data for Students with Disabilities
217
Funding for Students with Disabilities In 2015 the College received funding from the Federal and State Government for those of our students identified with disabilities to assist in supporting and accommodating them. The method of applying for this funding has been improved and is now all data is entered on line. It is hoped that this new initiative will make funding to become more streamlined and appropriate.
Inclusive Education in the Junior School
“Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.” Stephen R Covey Junior School Evening of Eminence
This year the Junior School students have again benefited from the availability of Education Assistants who work under the direction of Director of Inclusive Education Years 4 –12, Ms Lissa Coleman. They work in conjunction with class teachers and me to ensure all students are given the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Some students are withdrawn from class to work with either an EA or myself, in a small group, so that specific difficulties or issues can be addressed. Some of the programs that have successfully catered for many students with difficulties in literacy include the Sound Way to Reading, Writing and Spelling program and the use of levelled texts such as the Totem and Talisman Series’. At other times we work alongside the classroom teachers assisting students who may need further clarification, extra scaffolding of tasks or the opportunity to challenge and extend themselves.
Junior School Evening of Eminence
The area of Inclusive Education also caters for the high achievers in the Junior School. These students are selected to participate in a variety of problem-solving activities, research projects, collaborative tasks and quests, with a focus on creativity, during one-hour lessons each week. The Year 4 Gifted & Talented class have designed, created and presented their Plan your Own Excursion; the Year 5 Gifted & Talented class have designed, created and presented their Junk Art and the Year 6 Gifted & Talented class prepared for the culmination of their research project, the Evening of Eminence. As well as these activities, many high-achieving students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of inter-school and interstate competitions such as the da Vinci Decathlon, Speak Up Award, Clued-Up Kids and chess tournaments.

Thank you to the Team Trinity College is truly an inclusive educational environment that produces students who have strong ideals, who are well-rounded and who are Men for Others. Our students don’t just listen to rhetoric, they are active participants in the community as they learn, grow and strive for personal excellence. Inclusive Education provides all our students with opportunities to excel. I take this opportunity to thank all my staff for their personal commitment to our students, they go above and beyond what they are asked to do. To Ms Donette Firkins, Mr John Overton and Mr Richard Herrmann, who supported and provided for our students with such enthusiasm and care, I thank you for giving our students a genuine and appropriate inclusive learning environment. Ms Ricki Boe, Learning Support/Gifted & Talented Coordinator Junior School is someone that cannot be praised highly enough for her hard work and expertise. Miss Deborah Smit, speech pathologist, is also to be thanked for her tireless efforts and continued flexibility when it comes to last minute changes, a pre-requisite in a busy school. Finally, my thanks to all the education assistants who work one to one with our students and are the heartbeat of the College. To Catherine, Fiona, Darlene, Donna and Jodie, Will and Sue: your compassion, care and love of our students is evident in all that you do for them and the progress that they make is because of that support. I cannot thank you enough for your efforts. This is where real learning takes place.

Certificate II Business
(Inclusive Education Program) The Certificate II Business course is an alternative learning environment in which students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of projects. Mr John Overton Certificate II Business Coordinator The course is a comprehensive and inclusive training package which has a strong emphasis on developing life-skills and strategies for dealing with challenges. A large emphasis is placed on providing students with the chance to become workplace-ready before graduation and to progress into a career pathway that complements each student’s skillset. The students who are accepted into this VET program work towards completing a Certificate II in Business. The course consists of thirteen units of work which each student has the opportunity to complete over Years 11 and 12. Each unit competency has several performance criteria which relate to a particular skill or workplace situation in the business industry. Most of the units are practical-based and offer a realistic approach to the workforce which we endeavour to educate through enterprise ideas such as a smoothie stand, screen printing t-shirts and a paper waste disposal program. On completion, each graduate will receive a nationally recognised qualification which students can use to gain entry into a higher learning institution such as TAFE, or graduates have the option to join the workforce with confidence knowing they have situational workplace experience. It is a fantastic head-start for the boys involved, as it can give them an advantage over other candidates when it comes to employability and enrolments. As a form of assessment, students are placed in business scenarios on a regular basis. The Year 11 students have created a virtual business which operates under similar guidelines and structures to any small business. Each student within the virtual business is given a working title and is a part of a department team. Each department has a particular focus area with responsibilities that relate to the business plan created by the class in the initial stages of formulating our enterprise project. This year, the Year 11 students created a smoothie stand called Sweet As Smoothies, which produced healthy smoothies for sale and consumption at dedicated lunch times throughout the year. Funds generated from the exercise were put towards additional resources within our program but also a percentage was allocated to the next India Pilgrimage group.
220
The practical nature of the course provides a supportive educational experience for our students, with a real emphasis on preparing students for life after Trinity College. Each member of the course has demonstrated a professional and mature approach to the alternative learning styles and have embraced the opportunity to develop teamwork, communication, presentation and organisational skills. After working very closely with the current Year 12 students I was very pleased to see this year’s graduating group receive their certificates. I must commend the way the boys approached the course and to witness firsthand the personal growth and development of each student was fulfilling. I thank all the students for their hard work, commitment and the enthusiasm in which they have approached their qualification. For every challenge the students encountered they successfully managed to find a solution and it was a pleasure working with them. Mr John Overton Certificate II Business Coordinator
Gifted & Talented
(Inclusive Education Program) As Albert Einstein once observed, “education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”. Mr Richard Herrmann Gifted & Talented Coordinator In the age of endless online content, Einstein’s words resonate as powerfully as ever, and it is this perspective on thinking that is embedded into the College’s Gifted & Talented program. Our most significant priorities this year have been twofold: firstly, to foster a love of learning in our students, and secondly, to mould the boys as critical, creative and ethical thinkers. While a range of subject-specific extension opportunities are offered by the College’s different learning faculties, the mission of our program is to provide cross-curricular academic extension that reaches beyond the traditional core subject areas. Students involved in our program are encouraged to develop a true love of learning through an immersion in a broad range of multi-disciplinary academic experiences. This year, some of the College’s brightest students were given the opportunity to take part in Future Problem Solving, our Gifted & Talented elective class for 2015, as well as a range of co-curricular competitions to immerse them in fun, collaborative and challenging contexts.
da Vinci Decathlon Once again this year the College fielded two teams in the da Vinci Decathlon, a prestigious academic gala day held annually at Wesley College. This highly competitive inter-school event operates in the spirit of an olympic decathlon, with a variety of team challenges including categories such as code-breaking and cartography. The event is a wonderful opportunity for some of our highestachieving students to be challenged in a fun and interactive team environment. Our Year 10 team put in an outstanding performance and achieved third place out of 24 schools. The boys were awarded medallions to recognise their impressive achievement. The team maintained a strong presence across all categories of the event, and performed particularly well in the engineering section, for which they were ranked first. Furthermore, they were ranked second in English and general knowledge, and third in philosophy. Our Year 8 group was honoured to be in the top ten teams of the competition, being placed sixth out of 25 schools in their division event on the Wednesday. The boys worked together with enthusiasm and their team energy was fantastic. They achieved a top three position across multiple categories and, as a result, remained competitive throughout the day. I thank both our teams for all their efforts in preparation for the event and their wonderful contributions on the day itself.
Future Problem Solving
The World Scholar’s Cup
Future Problem Solving is a year-long elective class for which students are entered in the Future Problem Solving International Global Issues competition. This challenging elective requires students to compete in groups and engage in a team approach to exploring problems of the future. The focus of the cross-curricular course is to develop the students’ high-order creative, critical and collaborative thinking skills to equip them for the difficulties posed by a world that is ever changing. For 2015, the elective was offered on a selective basis to students in Years 8 and 9.
For the first time ever, the College registered a team of 30 students to attend the Perth round of the World Scholar’s Cup, an exciting team-based academic competition held at Shenton College in June.
Highlights of the year included wonderfully dynamic student teams, futuristic (though sometimes bizarre) human enhancement inventions, and most importantly, our prized symbol of achievement: the bobble-head known only as Animal.
As we were ‘rookies’ at the two-day event, our expectations were measured, but the boys impressed the organisers with their strong presence at the cup, earning a vast array of medals and trophies for their teams. They were also pleased to each take home a replica of ‘Gerry’, the organisation’s alpaca mascot. Honourable mentions are made for Jeremy Hansen (9.4) and Hamish Townsend (11.5) whose speaking skills were recognised with invitations to participate in the debate showcase. A large number of our teams were honoured to receive invitations to participate in the global round of the event in Kuala Lumpur. Although it was not feasible for the College to send a delegation to attend the international component of the cup this year, it is an opportunity that we will consider organising for 2016. 221
I give special thanks to Ms Lissa Coleman and Ms Donette Firkins for their invaluable support with the event. Furthermore, I extend my appreciation to our student teams for representing the College with so much enthusiasm and pride. I look forward to seeing the boys build on their achievements next year.
Rostrum Voice of Youth This year the College provided coaching for several boys involved in the Rostrum Voice of Youth, Australia’s premier public speaking competition for students in secondary schools. Jeremy Hansen (9.4) was placed first at the State finals of the competition, which took place in June. Responding to the topic ‘People Power’, Jeremy delivered a speech about the impact of prejudice and the role we as individuals can play to stop it. He was then asked to present an impromptu speech on ‘Making a Difference’, which we would hope is an area of strength for a student from Trinity!
Rostrum – Jeremy Hansen at the NSW Parliament
Jeremy competed against a tough field of speakers from schools including Hale School and Presbyterian Ladies’ College, but exhibited a level of presence and authenticity that clearly impressed the adjudicators. To recognise his achievement, Jeremy was awarded a trophy, a shield for the College and an expenses-paid trip to Sydney where he represented Western Australia at the national finals. In Sydney, Jeremy was honoured to meet the Governor of New South Wales, General David Hurley, during a dinner at Government House and deliver his speech in the Legislative Assembly of the New South Wales Parliament. In addition to his prepared piece, Jeremy was asked to present an impromptu (on-the-spot) speech on the topic of ‘A Strong Foundation’, for which he spoke amusingly about the modern-day phenomenon of ‘Helicopter Mothers’. I understand that his own mother, who encourages Jeremy to be responsible for his own actions, did not take offence!

Jeremy came third overall and I congratulate him for this incredible achievement. I look forward to seeing his successes inspire other students to get involved in the competition next year. Mr Richard Herrmann Gifted & Talented Coordinator

Trinity hosted the students and their teacher, Ms Diana Tersigni, for the oral examinations. We thank Diana for helping with the running of those exams. During Week 4, the College celebrated Italian Week and I thank Mr David Ceccarelli for his support in organising the daily quiz questions and the gelato day. Thanks also to Luke Nardelli (9.7), his mother, Mrs Josie Nardelli and especially to his nonno, Pasquale, for organising the bocce games. Nonno Pasquale was very kind in sharing his knowledge of the game with the students. Thanks also to Trent Piccicacco (11.2) for teaching other students how to participate.
At Lake Vasto Thomas Cavanagh reads the Foundation stone from Mount Abruzzo in Italy
The major theme of Italian Week was the story of Italian migration to Australia and we thank Ms Emma McLevie for the beautiful display in our library. To explore this theme further, the Year 11 students of Italian visited the monument in Lake Vasto (Perth) to pay tribute to the first Italian migrants. It has also been an interesting year for our Junior School students. The Year 6 students had the opportunity to explore the topics of our most famous Italian foods: pizza, pasta and gelato. They studied the surprising history and culture behind these culinary delights! The Year 5s looked at the topic of ‘la casa’, exploring the differences between Australian and Italian houses and the Year 4s learnt the many different animals and Italian vegetables. Viva l’Italia!

The PL Duffy Library Resource Centre Mrs Bindy Hammond Head of Library and Research It happened in the library… the PL Duffy Library! The library team consists of Head of Library and Research, Mrs Bind Hammond; Teacher Librarian, Mrs Rebecca Keshwar; Library Technician, Mrs Emma McLevie and Library Assistant, Ms Jena McDowall. As a rule, the days of blanket silence in the library are long gone. Students no longer need to perch self-consciously on the edge of the chairs and jolt with embarrassment when they drop their pencil. This year we have exhaled. The lively flow, the activity and the hum of interactions is what we try so hard to build up. Meeting everyone’s needs and expectations is a challenge. We are continuing to expand options to communicate resources to students for research and pleasure. In the library, card games, chess, collaborative study and reading co-exist. Our library hums, somewhere between noisy and silent.
Highlights Books Light Up Our World The senior library was lit up for the annual Book Week celebrations, celebrating Australian books, Australian authors and Australian illustrators. We celebrated this year with Western Australian, internationally acclaimed, author A. J. Betts visiting Trinity and talking to all students in Years 7 –9; creating Vibrobots and daily quizzes. A number of Middle School students enjoyed our lunch time activity across the week which was building a simple circuit Vibrobot bug, ably assisted by Mrs McDowall, to see if they could race them.
Book Club The Years 8 –10 Book Clubs are dedicated to fostering a student’s love of reading. Students read and share their own experiences and views of books. Students are encouraged to expand their reading horizons to new genres, offering endless adventures discovered through the rustle of the glowing pages. Year 10 with Mrs Hammond and guest appearances by Ms Suzie Edwards, Ms Jena McDowall and Mr Chris Allanson: David Adams (10.2), Daniel Barnes (10.1), Marcus Bottega (10.4), Liam Buckley (10.1), Tennessee Buti (10.3), Tom Cotter (10.4), Jacob Cowan (10.1), Hector Divinagracia (10.1), Samuel D’Souza (10.4), 224

Instagram We have joined Instagram to showcase what has been happening in the library, follow us at tc_library. Images include displays, new magazines, visiting authors and illustrators and daily happenings in the library.
Visiting Authors We have been spoilt by authors A. J. Betts and Mark Greenwood, illustrator Kyle Hughes-Odgers and hip-hop artist Marksman Lloyd this year. Perth’s Marksman Lloyd entertained students and staff in the library at lunch time on 27 February. ‘ML’ has crafted a style of music focusing on changing the way we look at the world we live in. His approach to song writing, willingness to push the boundaries of hip hop and infectious live show made Marksman Lloyd an act not to be missed, with the students participating in an act that had the library pounding. Kyle Hughes-Odgers: a Western Australian artist, author and illustrator visited (http://kylehughesodgers.com) on 4 May. He ran sessions across the day sharing a presentation of his current work, picture books and videos of large scale projects he has completed both here in Perth and overseas. Kyle is a firm believer in using a light touch by creating works that reference the colours and shapes in the existing environment and encouraged the boys to look at the slat ceiling, shapes of furniture and carpet inserts in the library to literally draw inspiration. Mark Greenwood shared his passion for history with classes from Years 4 –7. Year 7s were motivated to think about their writing experiences and to have the courage to write with authenticity, creativity and flair. Years 4 –6 were inspired by Mark’s books about Australian history. He entertained the students with the story behind his stories Jandamarra, The Legend of Lasseter’s Reef, Simpson and his Donkey and Ned Kelly and the Green Sash. A. J. Betts, a local Perth author, asked students in Years 7 –9 to be aware of their environment – to take note of their surroundings and turn that into a story – for example, a drip in the Graham Farmer Freeway tunnel. A J’s books, Zac and Mia, Shutterspeed and Wavelength have flown off the shelves.

Activities A chess competition was run in the library to select the best participants for the PSA Chess Competition. The members of this team were: Sri Krishna Dharmapuri (7.4), Daniel Smith (9.3), Farruh Mavlonov (11.7), James Della Gatta (8.7), and reserve Michael Hayes (12.1). The team came equal third in the competition held at Wesley College. A big thank you to Mr Harvey for driving the bus to the event.
The Chickens have Hatched! Over two weeks in Term 1, the library became parents to 13 baby chicks. Staff and students were able to monitor and interact with the development of chicks from an egg. Every morning, lunchtime and after school the chicks were surrounded by boys watching and cuddling them. There have been favourites, names bestowed and requests to take chickens home.
Maths Week and Science Week were showcased with interactive displays by each department. Demonstrations by Mr Ian Hailes (Maths) and Mr Anthony D’Ignazyo (Science) entertained the students. The library was abuzz with students counting jellybeans, entering answers for year group questions and experimenting with the pick up and put down items in Week 2 for Maths Week. Well done, Mr Hailes for the OJ and H2O head-scratching fraction and organising the touch table. 226
The Science touch table theme of ‘light’ allowed students to explore their science outside the classroom.

Mathematics Mr Geoff Jamieson Head of Mathematics I would like to express my thanks to all staff members in the Mathematics Department for the professional and enthusiastic manner in which they all carry out their roles. We continue to be in the midst of almost constant curriculum changes and all members of the department have embraced and adapted to these changes. In 2015 we began teaching the new Year 11 courses. Overall, the new courses have been well-received by students who have made an appropriate course selection. Planning is well underway with the Year 12 component of each course. In 2016 we will see a new era with Mathematics as we adapt to students bringing their own technology device to school. Following a successful trial of MathSpace, all students from Years 7–10 will have electronic access to their particular course. Each student will be required to have a device that allows a pen input through a touch screen to store their notes and interactively do their mathematics on their screen. This is another area where staff will be working feverishly to increase their knowledge of technology to allow this to work with all students in class.

During March this year, Trinity College was the host school for the WA Mathematical Association Senior Have Sum Fun competition. While neither of our two teams was able to win the competition, the night ran very well, to the extent that next year we have been asked to run both a senior and a junior division of the competition. Mathematics Week again offered our students the opportunity to get involved with some practical activities. A number of games of chance were offered during lunch time with prizes involved. Two staff members ‘took one for the team’ with a game of chance involving raw eggs. There was also a cooking demonstration with a mathematical theme. This year we again organised a visit from World of Maths. Our Year 7 students were able to experience a wide variety of hands-on problem-solving activities to challenge and entertain them. During 2015 we have offered our students a wide variety of extra challenges and activities. These include: Have Sum Fun, Have Sum Fun Online, Australian Mathematics Competition, Australian Mathematics Challenge, Australian Maths Olympiad, WA Junior Olympiad, Australian Intermediate Olympiad and Australasian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympics. 228

Congratulations to Samuel Carbone (11.1) for being selected as one of just six students from Western Australia to attend the Mathematics Summer School in January 2016 at the Australian National University in Canberra. This summer school is designed to bring together the most elite students from around Australia for this intensive and most rewarding time. Trinity College has now provided at least one student every year to attend the summer school for the last eight years. Every student who has attended always comes back saying how much of a rewarding and challenging experience it was. I am sure Samuel will have a similar experience.
Following his result in the Australian Mathematics Competition, William Tan (9.7) was invited to participate in the Australian Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad.
Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians This competition is only for the top class in each year group and involves answering six questions over a three week period. It is an elite competition where questions tend to be quite demanding with only perfect answers receiving marks according to the marking scheme.

Science Mr Cyrus Naseri Head of Science The Science Department, with its experienced and dynamic team of teachers and laboratory technicians, had a positive and successful year. They facilitated and provided students across all year groups with inspiring and engaging lessons and activities. Year 2015 was a rewarding year for Science staff as they witnessed students develop their scientific knowledge and achievement across all Science courses. During 2015 academic year, the national curriculum for Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 Science courses was fully implemented. In addition, Year 11 Science WACE courses were also introduced across all disciplines. Teachers worked diligently during the 2015 to gather resources to tailor tasks and assessments in line with the guidelines of the new curriculum. National science curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of important science concepts and processes, the practices used to develop scientific knowledge and its applications in everyday life.

The Australian curriculum supports students to develop their scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about local, national and global issues and to participate in science-related careers. Students in Years 7–9 completed a rich and diverse curriculum in Science learning areas, preparing them for specialisation as they move up through Years 10-12 of their schooling. During 2015, several digital learning resources such as Into Science and Britannica Science Learning Pathway were examined and trialled by Years 7 and 8 teachers. Students explored simulations and virtual interactive activities, reporting that they found the lessons engaging and fun.
Science Week experiments in the Senior Library
Students in Year 10 non-ATAR pathway course had the opportunity to participate in a number of incursions such as Forensic Science ‘Bringing to Life’ with guest presenters using real-life forensic problems to further stimulate their interest. The Year 7 cohort took part in a cross-curricular activity with the Religious Education Department. This course was developed by Mr Michael Slack-Smith and titled Sustain Our Swan and is based on the adjacent Swan River using data-logging equipment. This activity was an excellent introduction to environmental awareness, and students developed a sense of stewardship of the river for the future.

We had a number of entries from our Years 9, 10 and 11 students in the Australian Science Olympiad Competitions and we were very pleased to have a considerable number of students achieve Distinction and High Distinction categories. The Australian Science Olympiad Competition is a national extension program for top performing secondary science students which culminates in the International Science Olympiads. Well done to all students who participated in the competitions.
Furthermore, Years 8 and 9 students attend a science career presentation which has been designed to inspire students to pursue careers in science. We might not know the future, but we do know the skills gained through studying science, technology and maths gives students the best start in any career. Skills such as problem-solving, logic and critical thinking are applicable to all careers. These skills are valued by employers and help students be workforce-ready.
We are fortunate to have a number of world-class scientific research facilities in Western Australia which provides opportunities for us to engage and inspire students. The south-west of Western Australia is a world biodiversity hotspot with its unique flora and fauna. During every academic year, Year 11 Biology students camp and explore the wildlife at Dryandra and the Stirling Ranges and study the conservation management plans and efforts in these spots. We are determined to continue to look for opportunities to use resources outside the College, to enhance our learning program.
Mr Cyrus Naseri Head of Science
Astronomy and Space Science continued to expand and capture students’ curiosity under the guidance of Mr Bill Cooper whose knowledge and interest made the Astronomy course a very popular elective. During every year, Astronomy students in Years 9 and 10 attend two camps to launch a high altitude balloon at Dowerin and a rocket at Perth advanced rocketry in Toodyay. Students enjoyed and experienced the tracking and recovery of the balloon and rocket. The high altitude balloon collects particles from the upper atmosphere and once it is recovered, Mr Cooper and students download and analyse data and images using a number of software packages. In 2015, Samuel Carbone (11.1), was offered an astronomy scholarship including a trip to the Space Camp in the United States. Samuel’s interest and knowledge was also evident when he won the Gemini Astronomy Competition. It was very pleasing and rewarding to see Samuel’s high achievement in Astronomy. Students in Australia, including Samuel, had a chance to use an hour of observing time on one of the world’s largest optical telescopes, the eight metre Gemini South telescope in the Andes Mountains of Chile. Samuel selected and took an image of an object in the southern sky and wrote a winning explanation of why his selected target was a good choice to be imaged by the Gemini South Telescope. National Science Week 2015 is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology. Thousands of individuals, students and scientists get involved taking part in more than 1000 science events across the nation. Our College also took part in celebration of the Science Week, and students from the Junior School and Senior School participated in several events and activities during Term 3 from 15 August to 22 August. Students from Years 6 and 7 enjoyed a series of chemistry presentations that combine explanation, interaction and amazing demonstrations of science effects. Students were also provided with an opportunity to take part in hands-on activities to explore and examine static electricity using physics apparatus such as Van de Graaff generator and Wimshurst machine.

Astronomy & Space Science Mr Bill Cooper Observatory Manager Another orbit around the Sun This year we saw the Philae lander on comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko come back to life briefly, but has now gone silent. The comet itself has passed its closest point to the Sun. Measurements by the Rosetta orbiter suggest that up to 300 kilograms of water vapour – equivalent to two filled bath tubs – are spewing out of the comet every second. We were all witnesses to those amazing images from New Horizons of Pluto and its moons. Like most scientific discoveries, it told us a lot, but raised more questions to tantalise us. The surface of Pluto looks quite young, but as such a distant and cold member of the solar system we don’t have a satisfactory model as to where Pluto gets the energy for this resurfacing.
Samuel Carbone receives his Gemini Award from Prof Richard McDermid
The boys were excited about a possible megastructure around a distant star KIC 8462852. Could this be an advanced civilisation building a Dyson sphere around their home star? The Kepler telescope that is observing this phenomenon looks at the light output of the star and measures its changes a technique known as photometry. Whatever the cause of these light changes, it will tell us something about stars that we haven’t seen before. James Pears (11.7), our current scholarship student, has been looking at how variable stars alter their light output by this technique. The pictures don’t look visually stunning but they allow us to produce light curves. James started by looking at Cepheid variables – stars that were invaluable to astronomers determining stellar distances. Now James is looking at Delta Scuti variables – short period variable stars. The observation of pulsating stars enables us to derive their physical parameters like mass, temperature and luminosity. This has been a great year for Samuel Carbone (11.1), who was selected to represent Australia and Trinity College at the International Space School in Houston. Samuel tells me that this was a life-changing experience for him. Channel 7 came into school and interviewed Samuel about his experiences in the USA. At the end of last year, Samuel also won the Gemini Observatory Astrophotography Competition with a picture of NGC 7727 – a late-stage interacting galaxy. We were delighted to have Prof Richard McDermid, from the Australian Astronomical Observatory, coming to Perth especially to give Samuel a framed picture of his image.

Astronomy scholars James Pears (11.7), Julian Chilcott (12.6) and Luke Di Dio (12.1) have been responsible for running the astronomy nights for the Year 6 leadership camp at Dwellingup and the Junior School astronomy camp at Trinity. This year, Year 9 students built a large V2 model rocket which hasn’t launched yet but will launch early in 2016. We continue to have success with our high altitude balloon launches, launching twice this year. On the first flight, the balloon disappeared into low cloud and the video, even at 30km up, was an image of complete cloud cover, although the black box recorder showed a near perfect flight. Our second flight was on a cloud-free day and we had great views looking towards Lake Dumbleyung in the morning. Issues with the parachute meant a rapid descent into a paddock just east of Lake Dumbleyung. 233
The payload had broken open and go-pros and equipment were scattered over the ground, but all the equipment was working so it lives to be used another day. Turning Heads Media came to Trinity to make a promotional video for astronomy and space science. They talked to the students and went to Toodyay to see the students launch their bigger rockets under the guidance of the Perth Advanced Rocketry Association. If you haven’t seen the video you can watch it at https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=9zfrCxiJ0YU Although he didn’t win, Max Thorniley (9.5) at 14 years-of-age was the youngest finalist in the prestigious Breakthrough Challenge and the Khan Academy. His superb video on relativity can be seen at https://qa.breakthroughjuniorchallenge.org/.

Space Mission Mars at the United Space School In July this year I was given the incredible opportunity of attending the United Space School (USS) in Houston, Texas. Samuel Carbone Year 11.1 USS is run by the Foundation for International Space Education in association with NASA. The program is held at the University of Houston, Clear Lake, over a two week period in the northern hemisphere’s summer holidays. USS 2015 brought together 52 students from 24 different countries, with one girl and one boy representing each nation. My adventure started with meeting my host family, Rick and Myra and German student Florian, who would also be sharing their home. Florian and I were fortunate to have wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make sure we experienced as much as possible of what Houston has to offer, from a Texas barbecue dinner to a major league baseball game at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros. Our first day at USS began with a welcome lunch for all the students at an Italian restaurant. We had all travelled from afar to attend the program, but I had the honour of having travelled the furthest, with Perth being the longest distance from Houston. It was wonderful getting to know all the students from diverse backgrounds such as Bolivia, Russia and Argentina and within a very short time I had 51 new friends. It was then off to the University of Houston which we would attend daily from 7.45am until 5.00pm for the duration of the two week program. There was much excitement on the second day of the space school as we scrambled to be seated in the university lecture theatre by 7.15am sharp for a special surprise – a live link-up to the International Space Station (ISS) via amateur radio. This had been arranged just for us students and we were lucky to be allowed to ask the ISS crew various questions. Hearing the astronauts’ voices direct from space was an awe-inspiring experience. Over the course of the next week, we were given talks by various NASA scientists, engineers and astronauts. One of the scientists who talked to us was a member of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) team, who gave a presentation on the Mars Curiosity rover and the incredible data that it has sent back to Earth. For example, did you know that for every cubic metre of Martian soil you dig up, you can obtain 32 litres of water? Another interesting talk was given to us by a lead engineer at ILC Dover, a state-of-the-art 235
company responsible for engineering the space suit that was recently worn by Google executive Alan Eustace as he broke the record for the highest altitude skydive. At the end of the talk we were guided to a nearby table where this same space suit together with a Russian Sokol space suit had been laid out for us. Much to our surprise we were then invited to pick up, examine and operate the various space suit components! In addition to interesting presentations, we were also taken on a number of tours including NASA’s Johnson Space Centre, Houston’s major tourist attraction. Here we were given exclusive access to the Apollo Mission Control Centre, with a rare opportunity to sit at the consoles and, yes, I did press some of the buttons! We were also taken to the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, the largest indoor swimming pool in the world and also home to a full-scale replica of the ISS. It was incredible to see this facility up-close, especially while astronauts were in the middle of training. There was also a trip to the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility where we were able to see a prototype of ‘Orion’, the new generation spacecraft currently being developed for human space travel. Another highlight was visiting the Space Centre’s Rocket Park, the home of many NASA rockets including a Saturn V! Seeing the huge, 111 metre long Saturn V up close in its specially-built, temperature-controlled hangar took my breath away. To think that such a vehicle was designed half a century ago! The Saturn V is truly an engineering marvel. A tour of the Ad Astra rocket company was also very exciting as their engineers and scientists are in the process of developing a plasma engine which promises to reduce the transit time to Mars to around 30 days. Here, we were introduced to the company’s founder, Dr Franklin Diaz who, during his presentation, calmly informed us that he had been to space seven times! There was also a trip to the National Space Biomedical Research Institute at Rice University, an extremely modern facility that aims to find solutions to overcome many of the obstacles humans face in pursuing space flight. Now for the really exciting part! For the final week, each student was placed into one of five teams to create a theoretical manned mission to Mars. I was a member of the Maroon team, which was in charge of safely delivering the crew and cargo from Mars’ orbit to Mars’ surface and then back up to the transit craft. The other teams were Gold, who were responsible for logistics; Green, who had to plan the crew’s habitat; Blue, who decided how to explore the surface and Red, who designed the transit craft to travel from Earth to Mars. My team was made up of ten students from ten different countries. From the outset we worked exceptionally well as a team, bringing all our ideas together to produce a feasible design. Our challenge in designing an effective system was summed up by a NASA engineer, “The Martian atmosphere is thin enough that it won’t slow you down, yet it is thick enough to still be a problem” At times the challenges we faced seemed insurmountable but our team used all its ingenuity and creativity to overcome these obstacles. Not only did we have to work collaboratively to meet the design brief, we also had to liaise with the other teams to make sure each of the five distinct phases would work together to produce a viable Mars mission. 236
The culmination of two weeks at USS was the opportunity to present our team’s design and explain its operation to an audience of NASA scientists, engineers and the host families. We were very relieved to receive positive feedback on our project. Our time at USS came to an end with a graduation ceremony where we were presented with certificates from the University of Houston. The United Space School program was the most incredible experience I have ever had – no question! Not only did the insight into the workings of NASA cement my decision to study aerospace engineering at university, it also became clear that the space industry requires the skills from a wide range of professions from medicine to business. The field of space science is so incredibly diverse and offers so many opportunities that I urge all Trinity College students to become involved in Astronomy and work towards participating in future USS programs. The chance to attend USS 2015 was a dream come true for me and I thank Mr Bill Cooper, Mr Tim Blake and Mr Cyrus Naseri for helping me to achieve this goal. Samuel Carbone (11.1)

Humanities Mr Chris Allanson (’91) Head of Humanities This year, the Society & Environment learning area was renamed Humanities, to reflect changes that have occurred Australia-wide with the implementation of the national curriculum. The Humanities learning area takes in the disciplines of Accounting & Finance, Politics & Law, Modern History, Geography and Economics. In Years 7–10, it also includes the subjects, Civics & Citizenship and Economics & Business. At Trinity College, the Humanities teaching staff have been very proactive in rolling out the implementation of this new curriculum. We are lucky to have staff who have been actively involved in the writing and reviewing of curriculum for either the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) or specific subject professional associations. Full reporting across all Humanities subjects will be required against national curricula criteria in 2017. I thank Mr Anthony Lunt for leading the department in Term 1 when I was on long service leave. In my absence, the learning area was in safe hands with Mr Brian MacGabhann stepping up as Assistant Head of Learning for the term. This year we welcomed Mr Dustin Aylmore and Mr Paul Bolton to the department who brought with them fresh ideas and perspectives on how we approach the delivery of our curricula. They quickly established themselves as professionals who have their guiding ideal being what is best for their students.

In terms of student achievements, the results of our Geography students in the 2014 WACE were the best they have been in my nine years at the College. I congratulate Mr Chris Morris on this achievement and recognise the hard work he has put in to develop the Geography program in the senior years at the College. The strength of this program was also reflected in the results of our students who participated in the Australian Geography Competition. Trinity College finished in the top five Year 8 Farming excursion to Bindoon Catholic Agricultural College

schools in Western Australia. Out of the 77 students who competed on the day the College was awarded 22 High Distinctions for those students who finished in the top 20% in Australia. Twenty four Distinctions were awarded to those students in the top 35% in Australia. Special mention must go to Lachlan Harders (12.6) who was awarded a High Distinction in the senior division, being placed within the top 1% across Australia. Lachlan answered an impressive 32 questions correctly out of 34. I also congratulate all other Year 12 teachers for the successful results achieved in the 2014 WACE. This success comes about due to the quality teaching and learning programs that commence in the Middle School. In terms of learning outside the classroom setting, there have been numerous excursions where students have been able to interact. Year 7 students participated in the study of wetland environments at the Canning River Environmental Education Centre. Year 8 students spent a day at the Catholic Agricultural School in Bindoon as part of their study of farming. Year 9 students visited Fremantle Prison as part of their study of Colonial History as well as the Sir Francis Burt Law Centre where the boys took part in a mock trial as well as watching a real life case. Politics & Law students attended a symposium hosted at Notre Dame University where they heard from speakers such as the Hon Fred Chaney AO and Dr Martin Drum. In February, Year 12 student, James Heald (12.2), represented Western Australia at the National Schools’ Constitutional Convention at Parliament House in Canberra. Accounting & Finance students attended a Chartered Accountants Meet the Business Leader event designed to inspire the next group of business leaders in Western Australia. A number of Year 12 Economics students attended the Chamber of Commerce and Industries Student Convention where they were involved with activities as well as a presentation by their Chief Economist to assist with their studies. Geography students attended numerous excursions including an urban town planning walking tour of the Perth CBD and surrounding suburbs, a climate change impacts seminar at the City of Mandurah and a study of the effects of bushfires at the Perth Hills Discovery Centre in Mundaring. Politics students visited Parliament House and attended the Schools Western Australian Constitutional Convention at the Constitutional Centre in West Perth.
Farming excursion to Bindoon
Visitors to the College this year included the Federal Justice Minister and Old Boy Michael Keenan (’89) who spoke to the Politics & Law students about his role as a Federal Minister. Old Boy Oliver Marion (’00) from Price Waterhouse spoke to Accounting & Finance students about the job opportunities that the study of Accounting & Finance may bring. Towards the end of the year, year 12 Humanities teachers have also been able to visit classes in the Junior School to deliver particular lessons on their topics of expertise. This has been beneficial for the staff who face the challenge of keeping a large group of younger students engaged with a topic that they would normally deliver to older students. It also exposes the younger students to staff they will encounter in the years ahead. Finally, I thank the wonderfully hardworking Humanities staff who go out of their way to deliver high quality and engaging lessons to our students. I am looking forward to another successful academic year in 2016. Mr Chris Allanson (’91) Head of Humanities

Careers Mr Russell Hinks Careers Advisor ADF Visit During Term 1, Trinity was literally blown away to host the Royal Australian Navy and its eight million dollar helicopter. After secret flybys and meticulous planning, Trinity Old Boy and pilot, Benjamin Hansen-Murphy (’03), landed the aircraft with considerable skill and noise onto Centenary Park. He spoke to interested students about his time in the Navy and the various employment and travel opportunities within the Royal Australian Navy. A big thank you goes to the ADF and the pilots who allowed Junior School and Senior School students to climb into and look around the helicopter.

Year 10 All Year 10 students in 2015 spent time examining career possibilities in the Personal Development & Wellbeing (PDW) classes. The students used Career Voyager, a psychometric assessment tool designed to help match their interests to possible careers. Students researched different aspects of careers to determine suitability.
Students get a few tips on joining the Navy
In Term 2 the annual Careers Carousel was held with over 16 guest speakers from a broad range of industries. Students were fortunate to hear from professionals in areas such as law, finance, media, education, emergency services and engineering. A special mention to the following Old Boys who gave up valuable time to visit the College and offer their expertise: Mark Knedler (’04), Blair Bayens (‘07), Ben Hennessey (’07), Liam Dowling (’08), and Fraser McInnes (’10). Year 10 students also received a Trinity College portfolio which is designed to help them keep track of employability skills, achievements, qualifications and improve their work readiness. This portfolio acts as a resource for future career planning and will be added to as the students continue at the College.

Year 12 From the beginning of the year students were presented with information and advice regarding life after Year 12. In Terms 1 and 2 the students heard presentations from Curtin University, Murdoch University, University of Notre Dame and the University of Western Australia. These talks proved to be invaluable as many students took the opportunity to ask questions and then visit some of the campuses which many will be attending in 2015. TISC also visited Trinity to guide the university bound students through the ins and outs of applying for university entrance. Thank you to Year 12 students and their families who completed scholarship applications for entry into university in 2016. In recent years, Trinity has built an impressive record of students applying for and receiving prestigious university scholarships.

Health & Physical Education Mr Rod Rainer Head of Health & Physical Education The Western Australia Department of Sport and Recreation has recently released a new resource ‘Brain Boost – how sport and physical activity enhance children’s learning’. This document has been prepared by Curtin University outlining the positive link between children being active, playing sport and their ability to get better marks at school. The research makes it very clear that children who are more physically active learn better. I am pleased to say that Trinity College is well-placed with a comprehensive Health & Physical Education program to complement a diverse sporting program to fully support this research. The research between physical activity, fitness and academic achievement is supported by a number of studies: “The average academic achievement of children who received extra physical education is significantly higher than children who were in a control group which did not receive extra physical education.” (Ardroy et al., 2014 Shephard RJ et al., 1994) “Cognitive benefits are maintained over time.” (Koivusilta, Nupponen, & Rimpela, 2012; Stevens et al., 2008; Wittberg, Northrup & Cottrell, 2012). Participation in physical activity at Trinity College is designed to aid in developing life skills, good sportsmanship through supporting the notion of fair play and the confidence to take on challenges whether they be academic or physical.
Physical Education in Years 7–10 The year 2015 promised to be a very challenging year with the loss of facilities due to the development of the new gymnasium. With no oval or outdoor courts available for most of Semester 1 the program had to be modified to suit without majorly disadvantaging the education of our students. The ground staff did a magnificent job in renovating the oval and enabling classes to use it for most of Term 2. Coupled with the availability of the outdoor courts most of the normal program was resumed. Another major change this year was the return of Year 10 Physical Education with the College returning to a six period day. A more varied program has been offered with inclusion of such activities as rowing, badminton and 242
ultimate frisbee. The approach has been to further develop the sport education approach with the emphasis on interclass competition in a range of sports. Congratulations to the following boys as recipients of awards: Year 7 Physical Education: Ethan Regan (7.4) Year 8 Physical Education: Reesjan Pasitoa (8.6) Year 9 Physical Education: Michael Le (9.7) Year 10 Physical Education: Brandon Starcevich (10.1)
Fitness and Health Education These units are designed to be an extension of the physical education program, providing a more in-depth approach. Boys taking part in these units gain a greater understanding of fitness training principles and methods. They are exposed to a greater range of training methods designed to assist the aspiring athlete or those who just want to develop a healthier approach to life. They also complement material covered in Year 9 Health in relation to fitness profiling. New electives such as sports science, strength and conditioning and aquatics have provided a greater range of learning environments with these electives now being offered in Year 10. These units provide a working knowledge and practical experiences for the various Physical Education courses offered in Years 11 and 12.
Aquatics: Mr Dion Mepham Middle School aquatics is an elective designed to introduce the students to life around the water. The Year 8 unit is broken into four areas: 1. stroke technique 2. water polo 3. lifesaving 4. coaching and management Year 8 Aquatics is fundamentally a skill-development year in which the boys learn how to dissect and analyse sport through its decisions and tactics. Year 9 aquatics extends the boys’ knowledge in stroke technique and lifesaving, culminating in a bronze medallion exam. During 2015, a record 21 Year 9 students completed their bronze medallion award. Finally, the boys undertook an aquatic recreation component, integrating the running and supervision of various aquatic sports.

Mr Dion Mepham with representatives from the Royal Life Saving Society of WA
Year 10 Aquatics has been re-introduced in 2015, giving us an opportunity to develop lifesaving skills to a whole very high level. Five boys were awarded an Award of Merit; two achieved an Instructor of Lifesaving, four a Bronze Cross and a further seven achieved a Bronze Medallion. The boys are also given an introduction into the teaching and management of others via a big buddy program that had them instructing swimming to the Year 4 students.
thrived on contributing to class discussions focused on the adolescent changes encompassing the five dimensions of health – physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual.
Congratulations to all lifesaving award recipients: Award of Merit (Year 10) – Houston Jennings (10.5), Harrison Griffiths (10.1), Sam Moffatt (10.3) and Will Starkie (10.3) Instructor of Lifesaving (Year 10) – Nicholas Abrahams (10.2), Ben McGuire (10.6) and Michael Nicoli (10.6) Bronze Cross (Year 10) – Nicholas Ellison (10.5), James Michelon (10.3) and Callum Lauriston (10.8) Bronze Medallion – Congratulations to nine boys from Year 10 and 20 boys from Year 9 for achieving the award.
Health Education The Year 7 Health program follows a rationale aimed at a student’s understanding of the importance of developing self-esteem and self-confidence through accepting challenges. Throughout the eight week course, students were informed of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle as well as key issues related to bullying, resilience and forming positive relationships. Students
In a new approach, Year 7 Health Education has been linked with an eight lesson block of Outdoor Education. The rationale is to provide the boys with a new s et of challenges and give them the opportunity of gaining experience in developing teamwork. Our Year 9 Health curriculum encourages our students to critically examine modern health issues and formulate strategies to combat their impact. Students investigate various lifestyle diseases and are educated in modern dietary and exercise practices which should arm them to confront the all too common complications associated with a sedentary adult life. An important component of the Personal Development & Wellbeing program in Year 10 is the Keys for Life Pre-Driver education program. Keys for Life explores different aspects of road safety for all road users and is aimed at deterring young drivers from being involved in risk-taking behaviours. Issues such as speeding, not wearing seat belts and the use of mobile phones whilst driving are discussed. In 2015 our Year 10 students attended the RAC bstreetsmart road safety event at the Perth Arena. This event displayed a re-enactment of a motor vehicle accident and testimonies from family members of victims 243
of road trauma. Guest speakers from the Paraplegic Fund of WA also visited the school to discuss road safety and share their stories with our students. These events have had a profound effect on the attitude of our boys. Young people, especially males aged 17–24 years, are over represented in motor vehicle accidents. It is important that we all work together in an effort to reduce road deaths and serious injuries on our roads.
Physical Education in Years 11 and 12: Mr David Hankin For the eighth consecutive year, Trinity College 3A/3B Physical Education Studies students have managed to rank in the top ten schools across the State for performance in their final WACE examinations. Their average mean scaled score of 69% was an outstanding achievement and ensured almost all students used PE Studies as one of their best performing subjects.
Students practise their ball skills
Corey Evans (’14) and Brayden Keizer (’14) each received a Certificate of Distinction in Physical Education Studies which places them in the top 0.5% of the students statewide in this subject. This is an outstanding achievement and both these boys were recognised for their efforts at the Physical Education Studies Teachers’ Association (PESTA) awards earlier this year. Brayden Keizer (’14) achieved the honour of being the best performed student in the State with a final scaled mark of 89%. For this he was awarded the Subject Exhibition for Physical Education Studies. Special thanks must go to Mr Andrew Jenkin, Mr David Hankin and Mr Stephen Leahy (‘78) for their ongoing efforts in preparing the students for their final WACE examinations. Congratulations to the following boys as recipients of awards: ATAR Physical Education Studies William McDonald (11.5) 3A/3B Physical Education Studies Adam Rosato (12.2)
Pre-service Teacher Program Pre-service teachers perform an important function at Trinity College. The addition of these young teachers has enriched the educational lives of our students. Not only do they provide a great resource in the sporting field but they have brought the latest in educational resources to our classrooms.
Overall, students at Trinity College display excellence in skill development, a high level of self-management and interpersonal skills. I personally thank the Health & Physical Education staff for the significant contribution they make to the education of our students to ensure that they live up to the College mantra of Men for Others.
These Pre-service teachers bring up-to-date teaching methods currently being studied at institutions such as Edith Cowan University, Notre Dame University, Murdoch University and the University of Western Australia.
Mr Rod Rainer Head of Health & Physical Education
Trinity is fortunate in that we have attracted some excellent young teachers who have made a significant contribution to the education of our boys. 244
Mr Leahy congratulates Brayden Keizer (’14) on achieving a Course Exhibition in PE studies
Outdoor Education Trinity College students continued to enjoy Outdoor Education as an elective subject in 2015. Mr Brett Silver Outdoor Education Coordinator The combination of high numbers and enthusiastic students provided staff and students with a number of memorable experiences and camps. Students involved in Outdoor Education need to be congratulated on an outstanding year and, hopefully, they will continue to choose it as an elective subject. Year 7 students are introduced to Outdoor Education with a variety of activities such as cooking, fishing, kayaking and snorkeling. Their experiences are always created to build friendships, communication and confidence within the cohort. The boys thoroughly enjoy the subject as seen in the following short pieces written by our Year 7 students.
Year 11 students six day expedition in the north-west of Western Australia. Sailing through the islands of the Dampier Archipelago
In Outdoor Ed this year I really enjoyed the cooking, because after all the lessons at the end I learnt to do something in my kitchen. I also enjoyed kayaking because it was really fun doing something with your friends. Jordan Schu (7.6) Outdoor Ed was really fun this year. Coming into it I didn’t really know what to expect. When I was told we were doing camp cooking I was really excited. I have never been camping before so to cook on the trangia stove was really cool. The highlight was cooking our own Spaghetti Bolognese. It was delicious. We then did kayaking on the Swan River. This was really fun to learn some of the techniques used to kayak better through the water. When we did snorkeling I was again unsure of it having never been snorkeling before. It turned out that by the end I found out I really enjoyed it. Coming from not much experience with outdoor activities I feel I have developed lots of necessary skills. Riley Mattingly (7.2)
Dampier Camp – Turner Hill Mountain Bike Trail
My favourite subject in school is Outdoor Education because instead of being stuck in a classroom we get to go outside and enjoy a wide variety of activities such as cooking, kayaking and snorkeling. The one I enjoyed the most was kayaking because we went down to the river and saw lots of different wildlife such as birds and plants. Caleb Webb (7.6)

I absolutely loved cooking. It brought out the best in everybody. Each person did their own job and those jobs fitted perfectly together. Next year, I would like to have a program where you go fishing, then once you have caught the fish you go back and cook the fish. OE is the best thing you can do at Trinity. William Boxall (7.2)
Year 12 Outdoor Education Camp
The Year 8 boys who elected Outdoor Education continued with similar activities; however, were exposed to more theory than in the Year 7 course. These boys were also given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills on a one day mountain-biking expedition through the John Forrest National Park. Congratulations to all boys who completed the ride. Year 10 Outdoor Education students were challenged with a three night adventure learning camp in Augusta. This camp is comprised of night caving, rock climbing, abseiling, high ropes and hiking as well as learning about the environment and how to conserve it for others to enjoy. All lessons in class are aimed at preparing students to be self-sufficient and safe while on this camp. Congratulations to all students who attended the expedition and completed all the challenges. Our Year 11 students tackled a six day expedition in the north-west of Western Australia. Sailing through the islands of the Dampier Archipelago boys were able to demonstrate the navigational, boating and minimal impact skills they had developed throughout the year. The course is structured around the nationally accredited Certificate II in Sport and Recreation. Successful students will complete the course with external qualifications such as the Senior First Aid and the Recreational Skipper’s Ticket. Congratulation to all students involved in Outdoor Education throughout 2015 for such a successful and enjoyable year. A special thank you must be given to Mr Peter Oliver for his commitment to the College’s Outdoor Education program and taking on the Outdoor Education coordinator role for part of the year. Thank you to all staff involved in these expeditions: your time and effort is appreciated.

In week 10 of Term 2 the Year 12 Certificate II Outdoor Recreation students spent four days mountain biking through the pristine forests of Dwellingup along the Munda Biddi trail. As a part of the Year 12 Outdoor Education Course, students are required to complete all performance criteria within the qualification they have enrolled into. As a part of their Certificate II in Outdoor Recreation the students must participate in a mountain biking expedition. This camp provides the opportunity to evaluate the required assessment tasks within the training package. During term 2, students had the opportunity to develop skills and prepare for the camp. The students rode in excess of 100kms in three and a half days along the Munda Biddi trail between Dwellingup and Jarrahdale. This location is a pristine riding environment but also has access to some very good camping grounds. In particular Marrinup Camp Site which we stayed at for two nights. Marrinup also has an excellent single track designed specifically for mountain biking and the track includes plenty of jumps, log roll overs, s-bends and tight corners to excite all levels of riders. The conditions on the camp were perfect for riding during the day, however the night time temperature dipped below zero each night. I must commend all students who attended the camp and highlight their efforts, their organisation and dedicated approach made the expedition a success. Well done boys. Mr Brett Silver Outdoor Education Coordinator

PSA Sport It was a successful 2015 for the College in the sporting arena as our boys relished the weekly encounters with our PSA counterparts. Mr Stephen Leahy (’78) Director of Sport The number of boys who represented the College each week was even bigger than in 2014 when, in the Senior School alone, we were represented by over 128 teams, 12 rowing crews and swimming and athletics teams both of which comprised of over 100 competitors. With a larger student population following the departure of the ‘half cohort’ at the end of 2014, we were able to field additional teams in cricket, basketball, hockey and water polo, thereby increasing the opportunity for the boys to represent the College each week.
Grammar School who finished third. The 1st XI Cricket team went through the season undefeated, showing plenty of character to recover from difficult positions many times but finished second to a strong Aquinas College outfit. The water polo, basketball and tennis teams all had their moments but were not able to sustain pressure for long enough periods to mount a serious challenge for the title.
Preparation for the summer sport season started in Term 4 2014 and gained in momentum over January during which time there were several camps held and trial games played. I acknowledge the extra effort put in by many of the coaches and boys who gave up a significant part of their holiday to prepare for the season.
The winter season was highlighted by the success of the 1st XI Soccer team who shared the Lawe-Davies Cup with Christ Church. The season was so hotly contested that going into the final fixture, Trinity, Scotch and Christ Church were all in contention to win the cup and our draw against Scotch in that fixture resulted in a shared title. After a very difficult season in 2014, the 1st XV regained lost pride with some outstanding performances and at one stage were on top of the table, but losses late in the season put paid to any hopes of winning the Brother Redmond Cup. The cross country team finished second in another closely contested season and look forward to another opportunity in 2016 with the majority of runners returning for another attempt at the title. Our hockey, football and badminton teams all won a few games but were not able to threaten the top schools.
Our senior teams produced some excellent results with the 1st VI Volleyball team continuing their tradition of excellence by winning the Brother Carrigg Cup for the third consecutive year. The rowing fraternity won the Hamer Cup, which reflects overall strength in schoolboy rowing for the ninth time since 2002 and the swimming team, in finishing second, had its best result since 2007 with only half a point separating us from Christ Church
At the end of the winter season, our 1st XI soccer coach and former Socceroos player, Shaun Murphy (’87), indicated he would not continue coaching in 2016 and at the same time, long-time team manager, Miss Amanda Marocchi, also stepped down from her position. The College thanks them both for their efforts over a period of sustained excellence which resulted in three Lawe-Davies victories in the last eight years.

A short athletics season resulted in third place and while this was a great effort by the boys in the team, there was again the feeling that a greater commitment to the cause by some boys who did not put themselves forward for selection with any intent, may have seen a more sustained challenge for the Alcock Shield. The third place finish meant that Trinity was the only school to finish in the top three positions in all three ‘whole school’ competitions: the Hamer Cup, the Tregonning Shield and the Alcock Shield. This is an excellent achievement. There have been considerable improvements to the facilities available to the boys this year. The level of Mann Oval was raised by up to 800mm to try and reduce the impact of the high water table which has for many years meant that the ground would have surface water for most of winter affecting physical education classes, training and the athletics season. Although inconvenient at the time, Mann Oval is now a vastly improved facility. The four new tennis/basketball courts have been a great addition to the tennis, basketball and PE programs enabling more teams to play and train on campus and for a wider range of sports to be offered by the PE Department. Looking forward, the new double gymnasium is scheduled to be operational by the middle of next year and will have two basketball courts, four volleyball courts, eight badminton courts, a climbing wall for outdoor education, several classrooms, a physiology lab and multiple storage areas. Retractable seating will allow the facility to be used for whole school assemblies and other events. A large part of the ground floor of the current gym will be converted to a strength and conditioning facility and will be about three times the size of the current weights room.

Initial discussions have been held regarding improving the outdated facilities at Waterford with additional change rooms, a purpose built first aid and physiotherapy rooms and the freshening up of the clubrooms and its surrounds. The removal of the demountable currently used as a first aid room and the sea container used for storage will visually enhance the facility. Congratulations to James Valentine (12.4) who won the JP Ilich Award for Outstanding Service to the School in sport. James represented the College’s swimming and athletics team every year, played three years of 1st XVIII Football, three years of 1st VI Water Polo achieving full colours in both sports and captaining both these teams in 2015. In closing, I thank the many people who contribute to the ongoing success of our sporting program. In particular, I am grateful to the teaching staff who coach our teams before and after school, the ground staff who prepare quality playing surfaces for the boys to play on, the parents who fill so many different roles from coaching, scoring, catering, towing – the list goes on. Thank you also to the young men of Trinity College who represent our College with pride each week for your efforts and also to the College administration staff who are most supportive of the program. Mr Stephen Leahy (’78) Director of Sport

Athletics Mr Brett Silver Acting Director of Sport With an improved Mann Oval to train on and a belief that Trinity could return to the top of the PSA athletics ladder, all students and staff involved entered the season with enthusiasm, positivity and a common goal. From the first pre-season meetings, large numbers of boys from Years 7–12 were keen to make an impact on the PSA Athletics Carnival. After many dreams and goals slipped away throughout the winter season this carnival would be the last opportunity for Trinity to bring home some silverware for 2015. The PSA athletics season is conducted over a four week period in which coaches are expected to train their athletes at three or four sessions a week. The coaches involved are made up of Trinity staff, parents and external individuals with experienced athletics backgrounds. Thank you to all staff involved in the 2015 season. It was certainly not through a lack of effort or support from any aspect of Trinity athletics that Scotch College was able to win the Alcock Shield on the day. Thanks is extended to all parents of our athletes for their support during such a short yet intense season. Your assistance at Saturday morning trainings as well as supplying morning tea was greatly appreciated. The inter-school carnival conducted at the WA Athletics Stadium is a day full of high expectations, outstanding performances and a lot of hard work. The Trinity athletes can hold their heads high as they conducted themselves in a very professional manner. They were humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Thank you to all athletes for your attitude and dedication to our goal on that special Friday in September. The 2015 season certainly has some unfinished business that the 2016 team will be looking to address and bring the Alcock Shield back to Trinity College.
Under 13 Age Division The under 13 age division boys were given their first taste of a high school athletics season. With enthusiasm high, boys spent the first week of training trialling for a number of events and understanding where they might compete on the day of the Inters. Special mention goes to Jojo Parise (7.5) for setting a new 200 metre record and being awarded Trinity’s top points scorer for his division. In an age division dominated by Scotch College and Aquinas College, the Trinity under 13 high jumpers and hurdlers won their respective events. This year group will benefit from the experience this year and I hope to see them all again for the 2016 season. 252
Under 14 Age Division The boys in our under 14 age division finished second overall and just three points from age group winners, Hale School. With strong athletes in this division they were able to win the 400 metre, 800 metre, shot put and sprints, while finishing a very respectable second in discus, high jump, and long jump. Eric Bonney (7.5) was awarded Trinity’s highest points scorer for the under 14 division while Semisi Amato (8.5) set a new PSA record for discus. Special mention goes to Luca Rossi (8.6) and Alexander Rossi (8.6) for their outstanding performances in their 800 metre and 400 metre events.
Under 15 Age Division Thomas Throssell (9.4) competed in four events and finished with three first places and one second place on his way to finishing second overall in his age group. He also set new PSA records with his performances in the 400 metre and long jump. The under 15 Trinity athletes finished on top of their age group in the 200 metre, 400 metre, 800 metre, long jump, and triple jump. This age group has a number of outstanding competitors and I look forward to seeing them in 2016.

Under 16 Age Division
Open Age Division
The Trinity under 16 age group was led by Brandon Starcevich (10.1) who top scored for the College in this division with 61 points, including a new PSA record of 6.41 metres in long jump. This age group finished third overall behind a very strong Scotch College and Aquinas College and were very competitive across all disciplines. Winning the high jump and shot put events, and a number of second places demonstrates the effort put in by this group of boys.
Isaac Curtis (12.5) and his Vice-Captains: Jarrod Ng (12.6), Giordan Prosper (12.1), Isiaah Caton (12.5) and Hayden Da Rui (12.1) did a fantastic job this year leading the Trinity athletics team. Their friendly nature and mature attitude was infectious within the team and, through a new mentoring program, younger members of the College definitely built some new relationships with the older boys.
This group has a lot of potential and some very talented athletes. I hope they will all return as strong leaders for the 2016 athletics season.
Under 17 Age Division Tamba Lebbie (11.3) scored 69 points and was not only the highest Trinity athlete in the age division but was also awarded top points scorer for the entire under 17 age group. His competitive nature allowed him to be successfully selected to compete in five events on the day. He was supported by a number of athletes including Jhonny Lutula (11.4), Callum Lovegrove (11.4) and new PSA record holder Mason Nicolaou (11.1) who broke the standing recording in the 200 metre. Unfortunately for Mason, his record didn’t stand for long as the Hale School athlete in the next race set another new record.
Thank you to all outgoing members of the open age division for your contribution to the College athletics program. Your leadership this year was outstanding and the 2016 athletics team will appreciate you coming back next year to assist. The 2015 Trinity athletics team can stand proud and be very satisfied with their performance. They were a united team that formed bonds across year groups and across events. There was a very positive feeling that Trinity is not far away from bringing the Alcock Shield back to Trinity. Unfortunately it was a much stronger Scotch College that took it home this year; however, 2016 is only around the corner and if the Trinity athletes want it bad enough, they have the potential to win it back. Mr Brett Silver Acting Director of Sport

Badminton This year started with a solid win against Guildford Grammar School. Mr Adam Gage Badminton Team Manager The team was feeling energised and, with some extraordinary singles and doubles performances, we only narrowly lost against Aquinas College and Christ Church Grammar School. Dedication and application to training each week paid off going into the Hale School fixture with a nail-biting 5-4 win in the Foley Centre – this was a highlight for the 1st VI. Newcomers Kai Hickey (11.3) and Corey De Zoysa (12.6) had stand-out single wins and one of the most exciting doubles matches of the season. Sadly, however, even with the experience of Liam Fernandes (12.3), Trung Le (12.4) and Luke Pereira (12.2) who gave it their all in true Trinity spirit, we could only secure one more win in the 2015 season. Credit must be afforded to the experience and leadership of Captain Jason (Yiming) Dong (12.4) whose success on the court, enthusiasm, strength and knowledge of the game was a true asset to our team. Vice-Captain(s) Jordan Hands (12.5) and Jake Reid (12.5) were very supportive and their encouragement and leadership was greatly appreciated by the whole team. Well done to our 2nds who have shown real promise this season through dedication to training and giving it 100% in every fixture. Oliver Guazzelli (12.4), Ethan Petta (11.8), George Yip (11.8), Jordan Monastra (11.4), Trong Nguyen (11.8), Mitchell Bristow-Stagg (12.1), Alexander Gordon (12.1) and Lewis Parsons (12.6). There was some movement between 1st and 2nd teams this season and the 1st VI certainly felt the pressure of the talent and determination displayed by the 2nds. Congratulations on a good season. I also thank the 3rd and 4th teams for their consistent efforts this year. A special thanks goes to our amazing coaches and managers. Ailing Zhang – Coach (1st and 2nd teams), Mark Dodd – Team Manager (1st and 2nd teams, Term 3) and Chong-Wah Liew – Coach and Team Manager (3rd and 4th teams). Once again we thank the parents for their undying support for their boys each week, whether cheering or providing consistently wonderful morning teas. Without their love and guidance Trinity badminton wouldn’t be the magnificent PSA sport it is. Mr Adam Gage Badminton Team Manager 254

Basketball The task of defending the Blackwood Cup commenced in Term 4 2014. Mr Brett Silver 1st V Basketball Coach The team experienced solid performances against Hale School, Wesley College and Christ Church Grammar School. The team was feeling confident that another Blackwood Cup was certainly not out of the question. With former Blackwood Cup winning coach, Mr Andrew Osnain, stepping down from the 1st squad to a Middle School team, the 1st and 2nd V squad had a slightly different focus and was a somewhat of an ‘X factor’ entering the 2015 season. The 1st V commenced their season with two extremely difficult games against Hale School and Aquinas College, who would ultimately play each other for the title of 2015 Blackwood Cup champions. A loss to Hale School put the possibility of back-to-back cup wins in
256
doubt and the players were given a reality check that this wasn’t going to be an easy season. In our second round, Trinity hosted Aquinas College in what would be a ‘do or die’ match if we wanted to stay in contention for the title. Aquinas College was the talk of the competition, fielding a number of State representatives and an impressive undefeated record throughout Term 4 2014. Although the boys didn’t finish the game in front, they challenged the best team in the competition deep into the last quarter and made the opposition feel uncomfortable throughout the game. This was the highlight of the season for many of the boys and a solid building block for the 2016 season. The remaining four games produced wins against Wesley College, Christ Church Grammar School and Scotch College and a loss to Guildford Grammar School. The most encouraging aspect of the 2015 season was the fact that the boys never gave up. Even though the possibility of winning the Blackwood Cup was a distant memory after the first two games, they continued to work hard, play competitive basketball and strive for improvement.
Some of the memorable moments for the season included Stephen Pover’s (12.6) long range three point shot to send the game into overtime again Guildford Grammar School and Sam Cannell’s (11.2) aggressive nature and defensive pressure against Aquinas College. Standout scoring performances included Jhonny Lutula’s (11.4) 35 points against Christ Church Grammar School, Sebit Reath’s (11.1) 34 points against Scotch College and Tyler Viskovich’s (12.4) 23 points against Blackwood Champions, Aquinas College. Special mention goes to our Captain, Stephen Pover (12.6), and Vice-captain, Nicholas Moulton (12.7), who have been dedicated members of the 1st V squad since 2012. Their attitude towards the College basketball program has been outstanding and greatly appreciated. Congratulations to all teams on their performances throughout 2015. Trinity basketball experienced some great results across all year groups and acknowledgement is extended to all coaches who have been committed to improving the standard of basketball at Trinity College. The future looks strong for basketball at the College and with players, coaches and families supporting the program the Blackwood Cup could well be back at Trinity in the near future. Thank you to our basketball parents for the support and assistance received throughout the year. All parents who would like to see basketball move from strength to strength are asked to take up the call and join the Friends of Basketball Committee. Mr Brett Silver 1st V Basketball Coach

7A Cricket The 7As have had a very indifferent season. Our win loss record of one win and five losses certainly doesn’t do our season justice. The first two games of the term culminated in one run losses to both Hale School and Aquinas College before registering our first win against Guildford Grammar School. Then, the following two weeks, there was a three run loss to Scotch College, chasing a huge 113, and a two run loss to Christ Church Grammar School. The season finished with a poor showing against Wesley College. Although is it hugely disappointing having lost five games by a combined total of 12 runs, it gives me plenty of confidence that this group is capable of much better things. Batting MVP

7B Cricket The Year 7B team showed great improvement over the six game Term 1 season, which finished with a respectable record of three wins and three losses. However, our season cannot only be measured through just analysing our win-loss ratio. Each week we reduced the number of extra deliveries and runs we would give away to the opposition through focusing on the basics both at training and during our games on Friday. This enabled us to close the gap on our opposition and we achieved a number of successful results during the second half of the season. The way the team gelled and the boys’ cricket thinking and play developed through the Term 1 season was highlighted perfectly in our last game against Wesley College where we defended a low total of 72 and won the match in the last over by two runs.

Year 8 Cricket 8A Cricket The 8A cricket team was very competitive in our Term 1 season with a record of two wins, three losses and one wash-out. All the boys demonstrated a terrific attitude towards their cricket which has made them a pleasure to coach. The best performance came against Guildford Grammar School where, after winning the toss we made 3/128 off 28 overs. The stand-out performance with the bat came from Callum Reader (8.8) who brought up his 50 by hitting the last ball of the inning for four. Then Kobe Jones (8.2) ensured the total was too much for Guildford Grammar School with a miserly 2/6 off his four overs. This group has enormous potential and I look forward to watching their progress over the next couple of years. Batting MVP

8B Cricket What a cracking group of lads – super keen on their cricket with plenty of chat to go with it! We did not back up the chat in the first two games where we only made 60 runs off our 20 overs but we then started to bat well and our bowling and fielding became more consistent and team-oriented. Scores around 100, and later scores of 120, meant our bowlers could provide some solid wins. I thoroughly enjoyed coaching the lads who were well-captained by James Breust (8.5) who managed to rotate 13 fielders, batsmen and bowlers so that all lads had a go. Well done, young men. You all love your cricket and I cannot wait to see how you progress through the grades. There are a number of you with very good potential.

The 9B team had an excellent term of cricket in 2015. With 21 boys going through the team in only six games, it was a credit to the boys to achieve as good a results as they did. The team went five wins, with a loss to Aquinas College the only blemish. Batting-wise, we always managed to make ourselves a competitive total and bowl with a good amount of discipline. However, the boys who stood out were the ones that showed leadership and skill in the field. The highlight of the season was the game against Christ Church Grammar School. The boys bowled quite well on a fast wicket and small outfield in which CCGS whacked the bowling for 104. The boys were pretty deflated as we lost constant wickets even though we were batting quite well. At 8/80, we looked like losing, but thanks to the efforts of our lower order batting from Joseph Dodo Balu (9.4) and the cool head of Nicolas Miller (9.8) in the middle overs, we ended up winning the game. Overall, to the boys who put their hand up to captain and lead their teammates, you showed great leadership for which you are commended.
Mr John Montagu (’74) Coach
8C/9C Cricket The 8C/9C team played three games this season, notching up a win in our last game against Aquinas College to finish the term on a high. Some notable highlights for the year were Will Parkin’s (9.7) 24 against Scotch College, Brayden Dillon’s (8.6) two wickets in an over against Aquinas College and Adam Knox’s (8.5) spectacular one-handed catch at mid-wicket from a hard hit pull shot. Despite only playing three games, the boys had an enjoyable season and, hopefully with some extra experience under their belt, can push for higher grades in the future. Batting MVP

Year 9 Cricket 9A Cricket The 9A cricketers had mixed fortunes in Term 1, winning three of six games. Two players emerged to be important members of the team: Jacob DelCasale (9.3) as a keeper and Ben Olivieri (9.7) as a spinner, while David Cain (9.1) became the most reliable spearhead for the bowling attack. In terms of batting, Liam Dellamarta (9.2) was the lynchpin at the top of the order and fifties were hit by both Sean Carroll (9.3) and Jesse Messere (9.6). In general, the side has struggled with the 30 over format but been competitive in all games. In Term 4 the team should improve its record and develop team discipline and skills further. Batting MVP

Senior Cricket 10A Cricket Like Colts’ teams in football, 10A cricket is all about development for higher levels and maximising opportunities to cultivate a game plan suitable for each player and the team. There is no doubt this team has what it takes to be serious contenders for the Darlot Cup in 2017. The team finished second this season with a five win one loss record. After an early season loss to Hale School, where a concentration lapse for an hour cost us the game, the team finished in ominous fashion annihilating Christ Church Grammar School and Wesley College in the last two rounds racking up over 550 runs and taking the opponents 20 wickets for less than 100 runs! For me, a highlight of the season was our excellent catching in the field where only a couple of opportunities were grassed. I was very proud of the team’s improved game-plan and discipline culminating in five straight wins, including a last ball win at Aquinas College. I commend Ben Gianatti (10.5) on leading the team throughout the season and sincerely thank all the parents involved for making the season so successful, both on and off the field. Congratulations to the 1st XI for an excellent season and, hopefully, Trinity can re-claim the Darlot Cup in the very near future.

10B Cricket I had the pleasure of taking on the role of 10B’s coach. We had a large squad and to the boys’ credit, with their impressive training and on-field performances, they made it hard for me to pick a side each week. We started with wins over Hale School and Aquinas College away from home, then had a comprehensive win over Guildford Grammar School at home. Our next two games were fill-in games against Hale School’s 4th XI and Aquinas College’s 10Cs, as Scotch College and Christ Church Grammar School didn’t have 10B sides. The boys went down in a tight one against the older Hale 4th XI and were well-beaten by Aquinas College’s 10Cs, which was the only real low light to an enjoyable term. Standout performances for the term were John-Paul Chabros (10.4) making 58 against Hale School, Mathew Taylor (10.2) taking 3/7 against Hale School, Nicholas Basan (10.1) 4/8 against Aquinas College and Tom Starcevich (10.2) making 62 against Guildford Grammar School.

3rd XI Cricket While two wins, three losses and a cancelled match due to rain may not look like a successful season, the 3rds boys played competitive cricket against all opposition. The challenge of facing stronger opponents in the opening games did not deter our lads with matches being decided in the final overs. Wins later in the season were well-deserved. The playing strength of the group indicates that several members will be asked to represent the College as members of the 2nd XI in 2016. Batting MVP

2nd XI Cricket In the first game the boys made 210 and had Hale School 4/60, but an excellent fifth wicket partnership by Hale pushed them over the line against us. The boys were victorious in their second game against Aquinas College. They chased down 200, thanks to a superb knock of 90 from Bailey Gregson (11.4) and a second consecutive 50 from Samuel Bowers (12.2). So, after two games we were one and one having played two strong schools. This was alright but, unfortunately, we then hit a rough patch. In each of our next two games, against Guildford Grammar School and Scotch College, we were bowled out for not much more than a hundred and despite gallant efforts in attempting to defend that, we hadn’t made enough runs. Following the wash-out against Christ Church Grammar School, we finished the season with a win over Wesley 265
College. A brilliant 130 from Ethan Petta (11.8), who had just come down from the 1st XI, set us up to make 6/260 and we held Wesley College to 212. Andrew Scarfone (12.1) and Jasper Sirr-Davis (11.8) shared nine of the ten wickets (five to Scaf and four to Jasper). That meant we finished the season with two wins and three losses (and one no result). Batting MVP

1st XI Cricket The 2015 Darlot Cup campaign was a very successful one with the team winning three games and drawing three. Whilst this resulted in Trinity being the only undefeated team in the competition, unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure the Darlot Cup. Aquinas College defeated Christ Church Grammar School at 5.15pm on the final Saturday of the season to win the title. The 1st XI campaign started late in Term 3 2014 where a lack of training facilities resulted in the team being forced to conduct fielding sessions in the gym and technical work on artificial turf nets. With only two players having represented the 1st XI previously, Term 4 presented the opportunity to blood thirteen new players, develop both technical and tactical aspects of our game and also build a strong sense of group cohesion. Whilst results were not favourable, the side developed belief they could compete with all teams, highlighted by impressive performances against both Wesley College and Christ Church Grammar School. The team also finished the term strongly, making the final of the T20 competition, narrowly losing to a very strong Hale School. The traditional cap presentation preceded the first Darlot Cup game with ten new caps presented to 1st XI players. With Hale School and Aquinas College in our first two games, a good start was crucial if we were to compete for the Cup. After winning the toss and sending Hale School into bat, an excellent bowling performance reduced the opposition to 7/170 overnight. Poor fielding and a growing number of extras the following morning 266

allowed Hale School back into the game and a total of 234 was posted. After an indifferent start to the innings, Trinity looked to be cruising at 4/165 before a couple of quick wickets made the contest a very tight one. In the end the target was reached eight wickets down with debutant Matthew Russo (10.6) making a superb 73 (81). The next fixture against Aquinas College was again very tight, with Aquinas College batting first and posting a very healthy 7/260 declared. After a difficult start, Captain Darius D’Silva (12.1) made an outstanding 100 and was well-supported by Liam O’Neill (12.4) who made a courageous 70 and almost led the team to victory. In the end the result was a draw; however, these first two fixtures had given Trinity great belief they could compete with the best and seriously challenge for this year’s trophy. A narrow victory over Guildford Grammar School followed before draws against Scotch College and Christ Church Grammar School left the side in second place going into the final fixture of the season. Scores of 86 and 93 by Kai Hickey (11.3) in each of the draws proved to be the highlights with Liam O’Neill (12.4) again providing great support with a hard fought 68. Whilst the equation leading into the Wesley College fixture was not a simple one, a minimum first innings win was necessary if the team was to have any chance. After losing the toss and been sent into bat, Trinity posted a modest 233 in good time, with Kai Hickey (11.3) and Samuel Bowers (12.2) the pick of the batsmen. With Eoghan McElwee (11.3) leading the attack, Wesley College was dismissed for just 114 – a fantastic all-round effort with all bowlers sharing in the wickets. With the follow-on enforced, Wesley College was again sent into bat and was reduced to 6/48 before a stubborn partnership late in the day prevented any chance of outright victory. I thank the boys for the amount of effort and faith they placed into training and in one another. Self-sacrifice and resilience were key components of success and each player
who wore the cap did so with honour and pride. The ability of this team to fight back from whatever the situation was very unique and showed great character. Thank you to the parents of both the 1st and 2nd XI teams for all your assistance in the preparation of meals and support of the players. A positive team environment, both on and off the field, is crucial for success and the parents played their role in ensuring this was the case. With up to half the team eligible to play in next season’s side, combined with promising results from the Year 10 team, I look forward to next year’s campaign where we will strive to go one better and regain the Darlot Cup.

Cross Country The 2015 season started with a squad which was anticipating high achievements. Mr Geoffrey Jamieson Cross Country Coach Early training sessions focussed on interval training to improve levels of fitness as quickly as possible. Squad members embraced this approach and threw themselves into some tough training sessions with a few students suffering muscle injuries due to the intensity of each session. However, these were generally quickly overcome as bodies toughened up to the workload. Results throughout the season rightly showed that we were the second-best team in the competition. A closer analysis of the results showed that, almost weekly, we were not able to field our strongest possible team due to regular occurrences of injuries, illness and absentees. This was quite frustrating because the team had the potential to match it with the best. This point was well-illustrated during the all-schools multi-leg relay held at Guildford Grammar School when Trinity scored an impressive and exciting first place. This year the team was well-led by our Captain Callum Dewsbury (12.5) and Vice-Captain Michael Wright (12.3) with both students demonstrating the qualities of very effective leadership. Their attributes of training and competing to the very best of their ability was a great example to all members of the team and I am sure the leaders in 2016 will remember and use those qualities.
At the State Cross Country Championships, the Trinity College team of Abi Roach, Hayden Boffey and Alexander Rossi won the award for the best school team in the 14 years division. They are pictured here with Mr Jamieson.

This year we again sent a contingent of runners to compete in the State Cross Country Championships. From that event, Thomas Moorcroft (10.4) was selected in the WA Cross Country team. Also Trinity won the boys 14 years school trophy with impressive runs by Hayden Boffey (9.1), Alexander Rossi (8.6) and Abdurahman Roach (8.6). These boys will each push for State selection in 2016 as they needed to compete against 15 year olds for their State team division selection. We have had an amazing season which would not have been possible without the support of our Trinity parents. Thank you for supporting us in rain, wind and sunshine. Your friendly smiles, generous spirit and encouragement for the squad has made 2015 a truly special season. We look forward to having you on board next year. The focus will now move to preparation for the 2016 season. Whilst we will miss our current Year 12 students, the prospects for next year are exciting as we will challenge ourselves to go one better than 2015. It is time to reach the top after four successive years of second place. Mr Geoffrey Jamieson Cross Country Coach 272

Football The 2015 football season began with a group of 35 excited senior players taking the ‘red eye’ flight to Melbourne late on the evening of Easter Sunday. Mr Chris Allanson (‘91) 1st XVIII Football Manager Because of the early morning arrival on the Monday, no sooner had we arrived at the hotel, than we were off getting ready to watch Hawthorn take on Geelong at the MCG. This was the first of what was a weekend of highlights. Playing fixtures against Geelong College, Scotch College and Emmanuel College (South Australia) as well as watching the Dockers beat Geelong at Skilled Stadium will remain in our memories for a long while. Other highlights included guided tours of the Collingwood, Carlton and Western Bulldogs football clubs, attending the audience of The Project and seeing Dave Hughes live at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Hopefully, this tour was to prepare the group for a successful season ahead. It is fair to say, that the success achieved on the field was not what we had hoped for in our planning. Having a bye for round one allowed the players to freshen up before taking on Guildford Grammar School in what we knew would be a rugged encounter. Having led at quarter time and even having dominated most of the possession in the first half, Guildford got on top in the third quarter and restricted our opportunities up forward. In round two we took on Wesley College at home in some of the most horrendous weather conditions seen on a football field in recent years.

Trinity ground out a good 44 point win under very difficult circumstances. A narrow loss in the next round to Aquinas by 15 points after again being in a winning position was disappointing for all involved with the team although we did bounce back with a solid victory of Christ Church Grammar School in the Thursday afternoon fixture winning by 71 points. Unfortunately, a mixture of injuries and lack of consistency made the season difficult for all involved. Serious knee injuries are the curse of the modern day footballer and this injury ended the season of several players including Daniel Gileno (12.3), Zen Best (12.2), Patrick Fry (12.7), Sheldon Dias (12.7) and Fraser Barns (11.3). Successive losses to Scotch College, Hale School and Guildford Grammar School again tested the resolve of the squad. There was a number of players who suffered serious injuries and, as a result, younger players were given opportunities to test themselves at the top schoolboy level. In what was the side’s best and most enjoyable game of the season, the Thursday afternoon fixture against Wesley came down to the final minutes with Trinity prevailing winners by one goal. The only other win for the season came on yet another wet and wild Saturday morning at Christ Church. A strong breeze assisting scoring at one end made for a scrappy contest where the Trinity side did just enough to again win by six points. Whilst the season didn’t deliver the results that we would have liked, there is still a great deal to reflect on with some pride and appreciation. This year, Mr Peter Oliver took on the Head Coach position with Mr John Montagu (’74) taking on an assistant role. Peter has enormous knowledge of the game and also has the ability to communicate fairly and authoritatively with the players whom he has under his guidance. His philosophy to not only produce good footballers, but good people, is central to what we are trying to achieve as a club. John would be the most experienced coach at Alcock Cup level and his guidance and support for our players has proven invaluable. There was also some personal success for three Year 10 boys: Brandon Starcevich (10.1), Blake Pescud (10.2) and Jaxon Cahill (10.2), who were named in the State schoolboys’ football squad and who will form the nucleus of what is hoped to be a strong side for the next two years. Trinity continued to experience considerable success in the non-1st XVIII teams. The 10As and 7As lost just one game for the year each with the 9As losing just two games. The 8As finished with a respectable five wins and five losses. Congratulations should go to Mr Michael Murphy’s 9B team who was undefeated for the season. I thank the coaches for all teams from Year 7 through to the 1st XVIII. The commitment of these staff provide our students with the wonderful opportunities such as playing for the blue and green guernsey. I thank the parents who assist with various aspects of the football program. Assistance on game day to fill drink bottles, goal umpire and time-keep is greatly appreciated by the College staff. I make special mention of Mrs Janet Flematti who has been a major contributor to every event that the Friends of Football have held since her eldest son commenced at the 276
College in 2007. I thank Mr Storme John for his generous donation of medical equipment for the third year in a row that has reduced our costs significantly again this year. To the Year 12s who finish their school football days this year, if you are not going on to play at WAFL level, please consider continuing your careers at Trinity Aquinas Amateur Football Club. To the younger players in the club, we look forward to what will hopefully be a successful 2016. Mr Chris Allanson (’91) 1st XVIII Football Manager

Hockey Trinity hockey had a positive 2015 with improved results in a number of year groups. Ms Julia Reid 1st XI Manager This was the College’s second year playing and training on the artificial turf at Perth Hockey Stadium and an increase in competitiveness and improvement in skills was a noticeable feature of the season. The season started with a very successful tour to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Mrs Julia Reid, Mr Peter Norman and new 1st XI coach Mr Scott Embry accompanied 26 boys to Queensland for nine nights during the April school holidays. The boys played four fixtures against Redcliffe Hockey Club, a Gold Coast representative team, a Tweed Border Hockey Association representative side and Heretaunga College from New Zealand. Mr Scott Embry’s team, comprised mostly of 1st XI players was undefeated, winning every game with the same score of 4–1. The younger team, coached by Mr Peter Norman, was also very competitive having two wins and a draw. The boys also participated in a number of team-building activities such as bubble soccer, abseiling, high ropes, fencing and archery as well as visiting three theme parks on the Gold Coast. Congratulations to all boys on the tour for their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and commitment to every aspect of the tour. It was a real pleasure to travel with this group.
1st XI Captain Lachlan Broun (12.6)
Increased numbers of senior hockey players meant that Trinity was able to field a 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI team in 2015. This meant lower numbers in each team and enabled all players to have a lot of time on the field. It also meant players from Year 9 were needed to help fill the teams and I thank the Year 9 players and parents who assisted the senior teams this year. The 1st XI started the season with confidence after strong performances on tour and defeated Guildford 5–0 in the first fixture of the season, led by Captain Lachlan Broun (12.6) and Vice-Captain Marcus Di Filippo (12.2). A narrow 1–0 defeat by Wesley College in the second fixture was disappointing and the team was not able to take home points again in the first round despite some very close games. The team started the second round with renewed purpose and was able to defeat Guildford Grammar School (2–0) and Wesley (3–1) as well as draw against Hale School (1–1). This took the team to ten points – the first time to reach double figures for a number of seasons. I thank our new coach, Mr Scott Embry, for the commitment he made to the team and the confidence he inspired in the boys. Congratulations to Marcus Di Filippo (12.2) on being named fairest and best for the 1st XI and Scott Reid (11.8) 282
Luke McPherson (11.6)
Luke McPherson Year 11 celebrates with Harrison Pell (9.3)
for runner-up fairest and best. Harrison Pell (9.3) was named most promising player and Rohan James (11.2) took home the most improved trophy. The 1st XI players did a great job in assisting Mr Martin Tucker (’87) with coaching the Junior School players on Tuesday mornings this season. To top off a very busy season, the 1st XI was also involved in games against the Hotspurs and a touring team from Pembroke College in Adelaide. Mr Alastair Hay’s 2nd XI, led by Captain James Heald (12.2) and Vice-Captain Joel Bendotti (12.1) had no need of the Duckworth-Lewis correction factor in the first fixture of the season with a dominating game to win 1–0 against Guildford Grammar. This was closely followed by a strong victory over Wesley in Round 3. Unfortunately, no more points were added to the table during the season; however, the team challenged the opposition in almost every game. This was the most successful season for the 2nd XI in recent history. Oscar Pecorari (11.4) was named fairest and best, Ryan Gonsalves (12.7) won the coach’s award and Stephen Younghusband (12.5) won most improved with his excellent performance as goalkeeper. One of the highlights for the 2nd XI was the victory over the 1st XI (with the Duckworth-Lewis factor) in the Eddie Urquhart Cup in the last week of Term 3.
Scott Reid (11.8)
The 3rd XI was coached by Mr Fraser Hay and showed great improvement during the season. This team was lacking in experience but had a lot of enthusiasm and had a number of close results. Jack Newman (12.7) captained the side, Rueben Tuffin (11.8) was named fairest and best, Travis Levett (11.3) won the coach’s award and John Bradford (12.4) was the most improved. Year 10A hockey was coached by Mr Peter Norman. This team was short on numbers with Jason Gonsalves (10.1) playing 1st XI and leaving the team lacking a key player. Despite not being able to register any points on the premiership table, the team improved during the season and played with a lot of heart and determination. Samuel D’Souza (10.4) was named fairest and best, Lachlan Rogers (10.6) won the runner-up fairest and best and Sebastien Min Oo (10.5) was the most improved.
Vice-Captain 1st XI and winner of the Hockey Prize – Marcus Di Filippo (12.2)
The Year 9A team was coached by Mr Fraser Hay and managed by Mrs Judy Dawson. The team had an improved season from Year 8 with two wins against Guildford Grammar and also a win against Christ Church Grammar School as well as some very narrow losses. Congratulations to Harrison Pell (9.3), Riley Hanlon (9.3), Joel Taylor (9.6) and Edward Pownall (9.5) who all also played games for the 1st XI during the season. Harrison Pell (9.3) was named fairest and best, Roman Okely (9.8) won the coach’s award and Edward Pownall (9.5) was the most improved for the 9A team. Mr Peter Jones (’03) and Mr Michael Slack-Smith worked with the Year 8 hockey players. Mr Slack-Smith coached the combined Year 9B/8B team and awarded the fairest and best trophy to goalkeeper William Tan (9.7). Michael Miocevich (8.2) won the coach’s award and Jaxon Degebrodt (8.1) was the winner of the most improved trophy. The Year 8A team, coached by Mr Jones, had some good results with three wins and five losses for the season and show some promise for the years to come.

Hockey Tour training at Queensland’s State Hockey Centre
Louis James (8.4) was awarded the fairest and best trophy, Dejan Bouwhuis (8.1) was presented with the coach’s award and Ethan Gosatti (8.1) won the most improved for the Year 8A team. New staff member, Mrs Jodie Green, coached an enthusiastic squad of Year 7 hockey players. Many of the boys had not played a lot of hockey before and the team did not manage to win a game; however, a lot of improvement was seen during the season with results in round two better than those in round one. Cameron Pell (7.5) was presented with the fairest and best trophy, Charles Gilbert (7.3) won the coach’s award and Jess Higgins (7.4) won the most improved trophy awarded at the hockey dinner at the end of the season. I thank the Friends of Trinity Hockey committee who again supported hockey at Trinity with their fundraising efforts and enthusiasm for further improving the sport at the College. In particular I thank the committee members serving their final year as their sons graduate this year. Many thanks to Mr Adrian Staltari (’79) for his work and support as Treasurer for a number of years and his work in organising the movie fundraiser each year. Mr Paul Bendotti (’82) and Mrs Carolyn Bendotti have both been long term committee members and wonderful supporters of hockey at Trinity. Thank you also to Mrs Carol Di Filippo for her years of help and service to the sport at Trinity.

Hockey Tour to Brisbane and Gold Coast – Lachlan Broun (12.6), Spencer Staltari (12.5) and Joel Di Nardo (12.3)
In conclusion I thank the College, players and parents for continuing to support hockey at Trinity. I am confident that hockey is moving in a positive direction at Trinity with the move to Perth Hockey Stadium for all grades, the employment of a specialist goalkeeping coach and the appointment of high quality external coaches. I look forward to seeing continued improvement in season 2016. Ms Julia Reid 1st XI Manager

Rowing We have had an amazing year and all athletes have excelled themselves. Mr Phil Jurjevich (’85) Director of Rowing Thank you to the College and the support from Mr Ivan Banks and Mr Stephen Leahy (’78), the parents under Mr Brett Viskovich, the coaches, Mr Mark Bozich, our rowing coordinator and especially our passionate rowers. This team has won the Hamer Cup, won every race in the Year 9 section, including the 9As for the first time ever, and we are now the national champions in the under 17 quad and under 17 double.
The official party is piped in at the Rowing Assembly
This year, Ethan Taylor (10.6) broke the Year 10 ergometer mark with 6.41 and Tom Norman (11.3) broke the Year 11 record with 6.26. Old Boy Dave Watts (‘09) raced in the Olympic Quad, with Josh Hicks (‘08) and Rhys Grant (‘04) and they have a great chance of making the final crews by April 2016. We had enormous success in Tasmania and the Year 9s have broken a record by clean-sweeping all regattas and the 9Bs fought back from a caught oar and coming to a dead stop (crab) to win us the Hamer by racing into second position when others would have paddled home feeling sorry for themselves. These achievements are the results that get noticed but they are the product of the unnoticed efforts. These unseen efforts and students striving to achieve goals, is a rehearsal of an attitude and approach that will get them to achieve well in life – these are the wins we want. Our Captain, Lewis Parsons (12.6), and the Vice-Captains, Nick Gillespie (12.4), Rory Kendell (12.7) and Captain of Coxswains, Spencer Staltari (12.5), have done a great job and have been brave leaders of our club. They have all pushed for personal improvement and achieved great things and this has drawn the club with them. The ergo and scull champions are: Year 12: ergo and scull – Lewis Parsons (12.6) Year 11: ergo – Tom Norman (11.3); scull – Rohan James (11.2) Year 10: ergo and scull – Ethan Taylor (10.6) Year 9: ergo – Thomas Barns (9.8) and Joseph Pinto (9.8) (equal first), scull – Joseph Pinto (9.8); Year 8: ergo Sol Coster (8.2) and scull Louis James (8.4)

Director of Rowing Mr Phil Jurjevich makes his address at the Rowing Assembly
It is always sad to farewell the Year 12 rowers and their parents. Every year we welcome a new group into the club and this year they have jumped in with both feet. Thank you to the leaving rowers and parents for your support and belief. It has been great fun and you have been an integral part of the wins and belief the rowers have built in themselves. To the coaches and rowers thanks for having such a great sense of humour, thanks for always looking for the job that needed doing and thanks for bravely hunting the tigers you were scared of. Thank you. Mr Phil Jurjevich (’85) Director of Rowing

Rugby Mrs Bindy Hammond Senior Rugby Manager 2015 Queensland Tour In 2015, the rugby season started with a senior (Years 10, 11 and 12) tour to Queensland. Fifty three boys, with coaches Mr Alex Stajka, Mr Ian Hailes and Mr Tony Webb supported by Mr Chris Morris and Mrs Bindy Hammond, went to Runaway Bay in Queensland to play three local club teams. We had new and experienced players join the team. Coach Stajka put the boys through their paces, both on the field and in the fitness arena, Mr Morris used his water polo experience to lead recovery sessions in the pool. The Runaway Bay Holy Family Catholic community, led by Father John, welcomed us at their Easter and Sunday Masses. Activities away from the rugby field allowed us to try new skills in rock climbing, abseiling, paddle boarding and laser tag. We spent a whole day exploring Dream World and White Water World. Shopping – who would have believed that this would be the favourite activity amongst our talented rugby players. The tour enabled our senior players to bond, get to know each other, succeed in training and on the field and explore the Queensland coast.
1st XV Coach – Mr Grant Oakley; Assistant Coach – Mr Nathan Oakley; Team Manager – Mrs Bindy Hammond In 2015, our 1st XV were the third best, if not the second best team in the competition, although this was not reflected in the final ladder. The players picked up skills quickly under our new head coach, Mr Grant Oakley and his assistant, Mr Nathan Oakley and this helped achieve their success. All players improved their skills and the professionalism of Trinity rugby undertook a change under Grant. The team was led by Captain Nick Gillespie (12.4) Vice-Captain Taine Oakley (12.3) and the leadership group of Tom Norman (11.3), Tamba Lebbie (11.3), Richard Fahy (11.3) and Josh Spittal (11.3) on and off the field. Most improved: Elliot Wunsch (12.5) Best forward: Tom Norman (11.3) Best back: Richard Fahy (11.3) Best and fairest: Taine Oakley (12.3)

2nd XV
Year 10
Coach – Mr Tony Webb; Assistant Coach – Mr Alex Pensini (’13)
Coach – Mr Alex Stajka; Assistant Coaches – Mr Finlay Koenig-Luck (’13) and Mr Ian Hailes (Teacher in Charge of Rugby); Captain – Michael Nicoli (10.6); Vice-Captain – Tavish Meade (10.3)
In 2015 the 2nd XV had a full squad, both at training and on game day. It was also a year where the 2nds won more than they lost – for the first time in more than ten years. The efforts of the lads and the numbers made all the difference this year. Most improved: Jon-George Boylan (12.3)
In many ways, 2015 was a very tough season, due to injuries and players playing up; however, the team developed well, both as a squad and as individuals. The foundation has been set for them to push for a 1st XV jersey in the near future.
Best forward: Julian Ye (11.6)
Most improved: Ben Pagano (10.3)
Best back: Lachlan Hogg (11.8)
Best forward: Michael Nicoli (10.6)

Year 9 Coach – Mr Will Brock; (’03) Assistant Coaches – Mr Chris Corder (’11) and Mr Angus Gillespie (’13); Manager – Ms Kate Raphael; Captain: Jamie Kinnimont (9.3); Vice-Captain: Josh Stops (9.1) The Year 9 team’s 2015 season was highlighted by the fact that the players put the team first above their own wellbeing. When the chips were down, each and every player got back up and continued the feat and did not give up. It will be exciting to witness what these players can achieve in future years. Most improved: Samuel Peirce (9.3) Best forward: Rhys Bormolini (9.3) Best back: Jackson Kelly (9.5) Best and fairest: Joshua Stops (9.1)
Year 8 Coaches – Mr Samuel Harris (’09) and Mr Paul Bolton; Assistant Coach: Mr Jaron de Klerk (’12); Managers – Mr John Clumptsy and Mr Chris Brennan; Captain – Reesjan Pasitoa (8.6); Vice-Captain – Connor Seve (8.8) The table topping Year 8s had a large squad with nine wins and one loss for the season. The boys were successful by meeting targets, setting standards combined with hard work and dedication. The “best Year 8 game of rugby he’s ever witnessed” was stated by Mr Stephen Leahy (’78) after watching one of their many wins. Most improved: Peter Lonergan (8.4) Best forward: Jean-Paul Starkie (8.7) Best back: Aaron Moore (8.6) Best and fairest: Reesjan Pasitoa (8.6)

1st XI Soccer Captain Joseph Marino and Vice-Captain Alex Ishida Livings proudly hold the Lawe Davies Cup
300
Soccer The Lawe Davies Cup was returned to Trinity College at the end of the 2015 Soccer season. Miss Amanda Marocchi 1st XI Soccer Manager The Lawe Davies Cup was named after the long-serving Headmaster of Guildford Grammar School and since its launch in 1987 Guildford Grammar has won it twice, Christ Church Grammar School, Scotch College and Aquinas College (three times each), Wesley College (four times), Hale School (eight times) and as of 2015, Trinity College has brought it home an outstanding 14 times! The 2015 season was one of excitement and great success. Our 1st XI Soccer team regained the cup in their final fixture and many of our Middle School teams topped their respective tables, proving that soccer at Trinity College once again shone above the rest. To produce consistent on-field success requires dedicated players and coaches and I take this opportunity to thank our committed players, their parents and the coaches for their tireless efforts. A special mention goes to the staff involved in the College Soccer program, as their enthusiasm and commitment is vital in the development of our players across all ages.
Miss Marocchi and the 1st XI Soccer Team with the Lawe Davies Cup
The 2015 Soccer season began at the last fixture of 2014, which was a defeat at home to Guildford Grammar; a bitter end to a season of the boys not reaching their potential. Nine players out of the year’s starting 11 were present that day, and together they knew, that with the additions made to the squad and a new attitude towards the team, they could move forward and achieve much this season. The fixtures began, with the first game, symbolically enough, being against Guildford. On the first day of the season we saw a level of application and intensity which had been missing and it was obvious that there was little weakness within each sub-unit on the pitch, with every man playing his part. Due to the other two teams in contention, Christ Church and Scotch dropping points against each other, combined with upsets against Guildford and Aquinas, Trinity was in a position where only one point was needed from the final two games of the season to bring home the cup. However, these last two games were against Christ Church, first, and then Scotch. On a rainy morning at Christ Church came the first opportunity to snatch the title. Unfortunately the boys stumbled and went down 3-2. This meant the title was up for grabs in the final fixture against Scotch College. Nerves were high and the excitement level extreme as the boys took their places. The game was intense with Scotch College leading for most of the match. Our boys never gave up, showing tremendous commitment to the cause and finally they equalised, which gave them a hand on the title.
301
In the last five minutes the crowd was on their feet, a rattling crossbar and with numerous opportunities go begging. The whistle blew and the boys earned themselves a 1-1 draw leaving them to share the Lawe Davies Cup with Christ Church Grammar. I would like to express my sincerest thanks and congratulate our amazing leaders, Captain Joseph Marino, and Vice-Captain Alexander Ishida-Livings, for their tireless efforts in maintaining focus and guiding the younger boys throughout the season. A special mention must go to all the parents who have assisted throughout the season with the presentation night, fundraising and promoting the Trinity Soccer Club community – your efforts are truly appreciated. Finally a huge thank you goes to our retiring 1st XI Coach Shaun Murphy (‘87) for his valuable contribution to the Trinity College Soccer community. It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside the former Socceroo and Trinity Old Boy. He has guided, mentored and educated our boys over the past eight years, and we are forever grateful for his efforts. Finally, thank you to everyone involved in Soccer at the College. I step away from this role with full confidence in the Trinity Soccer community and wish them every bit of success for the future. Miss Amanda Marocchi 1st XI Soccer Manager

Swimming There was a strange kind of excitement in the TC swim team right from the beginning of the 2015 season. Mr Dion Mepham Head Swimming Coach It wasn’t tangible, but it was definitely palpable. With every session, meet and race, a certain resolve seemed to be cementing in the core of the team. Building towards the PSA Inters, that resolve hardened and confidence grew. Trinity College has never ventured higher than third in the Quads swimming and blasted its way to an historic second place in 2015. At this point, it was evident that three attributes were infecting the whole team: 1. enthusiasm 2. togetherness 3. focus Pushing forward, with passion towards one goal, became a mantra for the TC team. The PSA Inters on 12 March was a particularly exciting event. A very strong Hale School outclassed the field from early in the event and were never headed. The real fight was between the next five schools all vying for second spot. Trinity College managed to win that battle by half a point against Christ Church Grammar School with the final score being 832 to 831.5.
Without personal best times from seventy percent of the Trinity team, we would not have been able to succeed. In a whole team event, it’s unfair to single out particular performances; however, there were some very big contributions: 1. The entire under/15 age group who, once again, made PSA history by coming first in every available event. There have been extremely strong age groups at a school before, but coming first in every individual and every relay event is unprecedented. To now have done it twice is unbelievable. Add to that, the fact that we removed Ethan Bradley (9.4) from that age group to swim under/16 division 1 butterfly (which he won) and the feat becomes legendary. 2. Liam Martin (9.5), who broke the under/15 50 metre breaststroke record, to go with his three other division wins from the night 3. The Year 12 leadership group of Captain Jarrod Ng (12.6), Vice-captains James Valentine (12.4), Matthew Reaper (12.4) and Aiden Richards (12.6), and the other seniors, who motivated, pushed and inspired the younger boys. Jarrod Ng’s division 1 100 metre breaststroke – a six second personal best – showed exactly what can be done with determination and a free spirit. In fact, the whole Year 12 cohort inspired the younger boys to great heights. 4. The under/16 division 2 medley relay team, who won, after being ranked sixth before the event. Many thanks goes to the team’s parent body support, in particular, Mrs Melanie Starkie and Mrs Angela Moffatt, who provided the incentive (breakfast) for the boys to turn up morning after morning. Thank you to the coaching staff of Mr Finlay Koenig-Luck (‘13), Mr Daniel Tomasi (‘13), Mr Liam Pardini (‘13), Mr Paul Lee and Ms Siobhan Wilkins who worked tirelessly to produce the standard of skill for which we are proud. Mr Basil Psanoudakis produced an informative and exciting website for the team, updating the site with plenty of photos and split times. The 2015 PSA Inters was a great night and will be long-remembered for the fighting TC Spirit and we look forward to improving in 2016. Mr Dion Mepham Head Swimming Coach

Tennis The 2015 tennis season for the 1st VIII team again ended with Trinity finishing in fifth position. Mr Geoff Jamieson Coach 1st VIII We had two very strong wins over Wesley College and Guildford Grammar School. Whilst the four schools who defeated us were clearly too strong, it was clear the gap between Trinity and the others has been significantly reduced. Watching the tennis this season, it was also clear that the standard of tennis throughout the PSA is currently extremely high.
Cake made by Mrs Suzanne De Zoysa at the last Tennis home game
I commend the efforts of Captain Corey De Zoysa (12.6) and Vice-captain Adam Gileno (12.2) for their sustained performance in leading the team by example. Setting the right standard has been particularly important this year because we have so many young players in the 1st VIII. With three Year 9 students and one Year 8 student in the team, our leaders have shown the way with their effort and enthusiasm at training, determination in competition and always demonstrating good sportsmanship. The benefit of this leadership will become more evident over the next few years as these young players develop. This season had a number of challenges. Our courts at Trinity were torn up to make way for the new gymnasium. The replacement courts, which were due to be ready at the start of the school year, were not completed until the end of the tennis season. Our training was conducted at the State Tennis Centre, causing a rushed bus ride back to Trinity in the morning ready for classes. Also, with the building of the new football stadium, seven courts at the State Tennis Centre were removed and most other courts had times when they were not available due to resurfacing. Unfortunately, only the 1st VIII was able to use the State Tennis Centre for home matches. This certainly meant a loss of atmosphere on competition days without the presence of the 2nd VIII and the 3rd VIII teams. All should be back to normal next season.
Students enjoy morning tea at the last home game
I acknowledge the efforts of a number of people during this season. Firstly, Mrs Suzanne De Zoysa, who would regularly prepare breakfast for the boys, by herself, on training days and help with the preparation of our wonderful morning teas on game days – she is also amazing at cooking and decorating cakes. Mr Michael Hadfield took on a major role in the organisation of morning tea and I know he had great support from a number of other parents. Finally, another thank you to Mr Brendan Malarkey (‘01) for his continued support of Trinity tennis as our 313
professional tennis coach. Whilst Brendan runs his own successful coaching business at Fremantle Tennis Club, as an Old Boy, he still likes to maintain his contact and involvement with the College and his efforts are very important to future success. In January 2015, 19 boys and two staff members travelled to Melbourne for the 2015 tennis tour. As in previous years, the highlight was attending the first two days of the Australian Open and watching the best tennis players in the world in action. The tour included the usual sight-seeing attractions in Melbourne, gym visits and tennis training. The boys also had the opportunity to compete in the Melbourne Open Tennis Tournament. Those boys who were 16 years of age and over had to compete in the open draw and found the competition very tough. Those under 16 years old were able to be included in the junior draw with great success. Samuel Hadfield (11.7) won the singles title. He then teamed with James King (11.5) to win the doubles title. I thank Mr Graeme Porter and Mrs Sandy Jamieson for their support and contribution to the tour which would not have been possible without their help. Mr Geoff Jamieson Coach 1st VIII

1st Vl Volleyball Team with the Br Carrigg Shield
318
Volleyball Mr Bobby Emmanuel Coach 1st VI Volleyball This year the Trinity College Volleyball Club continued to be very successful; largely thanks to a strong level of community support from parents, commitment from Old Boys who filled coaching roles, dedication of teachers and the desire of the students to train hard and win volleyball games. For the first time in history, Trinity College won the Brother Carrigg Shield for the third year in a row. The Middle School volleyball program, spearheaded by Mr John Overton yielded great results in 2015. Most pleasing is the depth of talent and numbers within each year group; however, on occasion this has resulted in a scratch match. It is commendable to see the lower age groups put up their hands for the opportunity to compete and their willingness to fill in and put others before themselves for the good of the club. The Middle School teams won a vast majority of their games and, on more than one occasion, a clean sweep of all opposing teams. Special thanks goes to Ms Rita Basilio, Ms Kate Raphael, Mr Sam Mettam (’10), Mr Julian Fritz, Mr Brayden Keizer (’14) and Mr John Ricciardi for their support and dedication in preparing our teams over the season. Once again, our senior volleyball teams enjoyed an outstanding season with some close matches against the stronger teams. A talented bunch of players in the Year 10 teams, coached by Mrs Claudia Kelly and Mr Peter Fitzgerald (’13) showcased the depth in the upcoming teams. Currently three of the Year 10s are playing in the 1st team and when they join their compatriots in future years, this will make them a very formidable team indeed. Our 3rd VI team experienced many victories and continued to develop a strong sense of camaraderie under the tutelage of Mrs Rosa West. The mighty 2nds continued to grow in confidence and skill. They remained undefeated throughout the season and were guided by the very calm and stoic Mr Craig Adams. Congratulations to the team on remaining undefeated for three years in a row. The depth and talent in these teams are a testament to the strong volleyball culture at Trinity College. The preparation for the defence of the Brother Carrigg Shield started in Term 4 2014 with a large squad of motivated players trying out for 1st team selection. As the team started to form, it was evident that there was an abundance of talent and skill; however, the biggest challenge was going to be team cohesion and performing at their best in the tough matches. The 2014 Term 4 competition was encouraging with only one loss in a close match to Aquinas College. With this result in hand, the team 319
headed to Albany for the Trinity College Albany Volleyball Camp. The focus at the camp was mainly team-building and cohesion as well as some joint training sessions with our hosts Great Southern Grammar. At the end the boys were exhausted but the feeling in the team was very positive and the levels of self-belief and belief in the team were at an all-time high. The Term 1 competition began strongly but the toughest challenge would be the second match against Aquinas College in their gym. Trinity College was victorious in this epic struggle and remained focussed until the end of the season to claim the Brother Carrigg Shield for the third time in a row. The team’s commitment and endeavour to fulfil their goals set early in the pre-season, is a testament to the character of the young men in this team. Congratulations to Captain Alex Ishida-Livings (12.5) and Vice-captains Jake Reid (12.5) and Mitchell Bristow-Stagg (12.1) on leading the team to this historic third win of the Brother Carrigg Shield. Special thanks goes to Mr John Overton for his assistance and outstanding contributions to the 1st VI program.
This year Trinity College entered two teams in the Winter Junior League and we now have more boys than ever playing in the Perth Volleyball League. Over the course of the year, many students attended State trials and the following have been selected into WA State teams. Under 17 squad: Nichollas Montero (10.4) and Leon Formato (10.1) Under 16 team: Aidan Correa (10.5) and Daniel Fitzgerald (9.2) Congratulations to Aidan Correa (10.5), Leon Formato (10.1) and Nichollas Montero (10.4) who were selected to attend the Australian Institute of Sport camp in Bendigo during the December 2014 holidays. Nichollas Montero (10.4) was also invited to a camp in July for possible selection into the Junior Australian teams. The annual Volleyball Awards Nights marked a wonderful show of support by parents, family members, supporters and players of the club. I extend my thanks to all those who have given up their valuable time and energy to the club and contributed along the way. Personally, I thank outgoing committee members Mr Paul Bendotti (’82) (President), Mrs Katie Bristow-Stagg (Secretary), Mrs Michelle Reid (Treasurer) and Mr Ralph Livings (IT & Web Design) for their time and support for Trinity volleyball. Your invaluable contributions have been directly responsible for the success of the club. Thank you for all your hard work and I look forward to a very bright future and the continued success of Trinity volleyball. Mr Bobby Emmanuel Coach 1st VI Volleyball

Water Polo Ms Susie Edwards Water Polo Manager Again, 2015 was a strong year for water polo. With ten teams across the year groups, and some very talented players we are looking forward to seeing a fantastic future in water polo at Trinity College. Our inaugural senior water polo tour to California in December 2015 has been an amazing achievement for us as a water polo community and we hope to see this grow in the future. For the senior players, the year began with many long holiday trainings, culminating in our annual water polo camp at Trinity in January. This was a great experience for the boys as they bonded in many skills sessions, scratch matches, land trainings and even some soccer and cricket matches. The night-time game was also a great success! The parents helped to keep the players well-fed and although they were not very well rested at the end of it, the boys came out with some firm friendships as well as many team skills ready to be used in the 2015 PSA season.

With new FINA rules in play, our teams were now down to six players in the pool, with a smaller pool length and smaller ball, which was an interesting experience for some. The 1st VI water polo team, led by Captain James Valentine (12.4) and Vice-captain Jarrod Ng (12.6) ended the season in an admirable fifth place, after some hard-fought battles early on against Hale School and Aquinas College. An amazing game was played against Scotch College where we drew the match with some fantastic skills shown by the boys in the pool. New junior players, Joshua Reaper (9.4) and Liam Martin (9.5) joined our more seasoned players in the first team this year, showing that this squad of boys will definitely be a team to watch in the future. The Middle School water polo teams are still going strong under the leadership of Old Boys Mr Noah Harris (’13) and Mr Finlay Koenig-Luck (’13), and ably supported by teachers Miss Tess Warner, Mr Nick Marston and Mr Dion Mepham. Some very competitive games were played by these skilled teams. The senior teams were coached by Mr Andras Jo-Kovaks (1st VI), Mr Mitchell Zekulich (‘10) (2nd VI), Mr Brad Chapman (3rd VI), Mr Glenn Christiansen (4th VI) and Mr Chris Morris (Year 10) and all played some great games showing their skills and talents. The Year 12 cohort of 2015 has always been a staunch supporter of Trinity water polo. Well done to our Year 12 1st VI players: Jarrod Ng (12.6), Matthew Reaper (12.4), James Turibaka (12.2), James Valentine (12.4), and particularly, Carter Fabling (12.2) and Jack Perry (12.3) who each played every first game in their senior playing years. Thank you to the 30 Year 12 students who have contributed to water polo over the last six years. We look forward to seeing you all at a TOBA match in the future.
Lastly, thank you to our parent group, who is always willing to help out when needed. A particular mention needs to go to Mrs Liz Perry, who has been our parent coordinator for many years and is now stepping down from this position. Your support of Trinity water polo has been integral in our success, and I look forward to still seeing you at some games in the future. Ms Susie Edwards Water Polo Manager 325
