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
