Sabbath Week: We hope you have had a wonderful Sabbath Week this week! This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a homework free week and to spend quality time with your children, reading stories, playing board games, playing in the park, going on a picnic or going for a walk!

Adjunct Professor Kaye Lowe: On Monday and Tuesday this week, we had Adjunct Professor Kaye Lowe, Literacy consultant, visiting Trinity to work with the teachers and students. Kaye has a wealth of knowledge about how to improve reading and writing for children and how to assist teachers in the classroom. Professor Lowe was very impressed with our amazing staff. She commented “At Trinity we have a team of professional, caring and committed teachers who want the best for our children and that shows in how our children are responding to literacy learning”. Our children are making astounding progress, which is supported by you, our wonderful parents who read every night at home with their children from Kinder to Year 6. Professor Kaye Lowe will continue to visit our school community throughout the year to share her expertise and invaluable resources and strategies to support children’s literacy development.

Coronavirus: In light of coronavirus, good hygiene remains the best protective measure against the spread of the virus. We have installed hand sanitiser dispensers in all toilets, as well as outside learning spaces and the teachers are making sure all students wash their hands on a regular basis. If your child is displaying any flu-like symptoms, could you please keep them at home. CE have been in contact with all schools and are providing updates and advice.  

Student Contact Information: If you have changed your address, business or mobile number, email address or emergency contact person, please notify the front desk as soon as possible to update your information in case your child becomes ill.

Community Council: We are in desperate need for a Treasurer! This is a wonderful opportunity to get involved and meet parents at Trinity and actively participate in decision making. Please consider taking on this very important role!

The Community Council meet twice each term from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. If you are interested in this position, please contact Charlie Lucas, Community Council Chair or me. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday March 17.

The BMX Track: A special thank you to Barry and Jarrod Quinn for coming into Trinity yesterday morning and doing some much needed bike maintenance. The bikes are proving to be very popular and this has assisted us enormously to ensure that our bikes are safe and the tyres are pumped up. We still have 5 more bikes to erect if you can spare some time, we’d love your help! Please contact the front office if you are able to assist.

Playgroup: The children are having a great time at Playgroup. This is held every Thursday at 9:30am. Playgroup is for 0 to 5-year-old children and is a wonderful opportunity to come along and have fun participating in free play, music appreciation with Tori Corcoran and story-time with the Principal plus borrowing from the Library. The cost is free so come along and join in the fun!

Canteen: If you have ordered a meal deal and your child is absent, unfortunately you will not receive a refund. As you can understand, our Canteen Manager orders the correct amount of food in advance for these meal deals.

Don’t forget to check the Trinity school calendar, Trinity website and the regular updates on Schoolzine and FaceBook.

Have a lovely weekend!

God Bless,
