During Week 7 Trinity was able to provide the opportunity for primary school students and parents to Tour the College grounds and classrooms. Thanks to the many student volunteers from years 9-12 who assisted by acting as ‘Tour Guides’ for these groups. Our students were able to effectively convey what the student experience at Trinity is all about and answer questions for the parents and younger students about the site and opportunities here. Well done to these students!!

Well done also to our Year 7 and 11 students that have assisted with our Primary school visit over the last 4 weeks. Students and staff visited local primary schools to give an insight into what the Trinity Community is all about. The way our students engaged in these visits is to be commended, they were true ambassadors of Trinity.

It is great to be able to recognise student achievements in a variety of areas, as such we are aiming to hold a recognition assembly during Week 9 where students can be accoladed for these achievements.

Correct School Shoe clarification:

It appears that a small number of students are wearing the shoes pictured below to school, I felt it important to clarify that this particular style is not in alignment with the College’s uniform requirements as there is a lack of  material covering the forefoot which presents a risk in various subjects that are undertaken by students for example, woodwork and science. We would request that students acquire a school shoe that has the appropriate forefoot coverage, an example is pictured below.

Zoe Robinson - Advocate for Children and Young people in NSW visited Trinity to conduct some student focus groups on Monday 3rd March.

The Advocate and ACYP team sat with and listened to children and young people across NSW and heard what they had to say about issues that impact them. This was an opportunity for children and young people to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about what matters most to them.  

While the Advocate  and her team were at Trinity Catholic College, she asked students questions around access: questions included – what do you have access to in your community and what do you need access to in your community? 

The Advocate will take this information and raise the voices throughout community, parliament and other organisations to create positive change
