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.
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.
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.
