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:
