Dear Trinity Families,

YEAR 12 GIVE BACK DAY - Act Justly, Love Mercy and Walk Humbly with God.

On 19 September, as our graduating Year 12 students moved through their final day of formal classes, a new tradition commenced at the College under the theme of ‘Giving Back’. Students embraced this incredible ‘Give Back’ opportunity which saw them involved in activities including:

• Visiting Our Lady Help of Christians Primary School for reading, art and singing,
• Donating blood through the Red Cross Blood Service,
• Packing 200 birthing kits to be sent to third world countries,
• Collating snack packs and “Mums and Bubs” packs for the local Vinnies mobile van,
• Baking sweet treats for distribution at the Winsome Soup Kitchen Cafe,
• An environmental clean up of our SCU campus

Students finished the day with a gratitude activity.  It is hoped that this new tradition continues to reinforce the College’s motto - “In Word and Deed” - and our mission of serving others. Through their experience of this day, each student was able to witness first hand how even small actions can carry a powerful message of hope and compassion,  as they step beyond the classroom.

YEAR 12 GRADUATION MASS

The farewell of our Year 12 students is always both a joyous and emotional event. This Mass is one of thanksgiving and celebration and hope for the future. As a Catholic community we come together to celebrate the Eucharist at the start of the College’s farewell events. Fr Bing and Fr Jim celebrated Mass with its message to love others and be beacons of compassion and hope.

The Graduation Mass saw our 2025 Captains handing over the College’s sacred symbols to our incoming 2026 Captains, in an important handing over of the legacy and traditions to the students who will lead the College next year.  Following Mass the College presented key community awards recognising students for leadership spirit and community service

Upcoming All School’s Mass

Please join us  and the other Lismore Catholic Schools at the next Community & School’s Mass. The weather will have warmed by then and it will be lovely to share Mass and the Sausage sizzle to follow. I am looking for volunteers to help with the cooking and serving of the BBQ on this evening in November. Please mark this in your Term 4 Calendar - Saturday November 8 - 5:30pm.

Community Service ‘In Deed and Word’ Community Service’ Program

Due dates: Years 7-10 due Term 4, 21st November

Each student must complete at least 10 hours of community service each year as part of our service learning program. A copy of the log can be found on the Mission tile on your child’s Lighthouse dashboard. The log can be submitted to the student’s RE teacher either electronically or by hardcopy on or before the due date.  Here is a list of volunteer activities for student planning.
