Congratulations to our Students: Over the past two weeks I have had the pleasure of reading every child's school report. The children are very proud of their achievements and have worked hard to improve their learning and are to be congratulated for their efforts. Each student has worked hard to achieve the goals that they set, earlier this term. Report time is an opportunity for you as parents or carers, to celebrate and share the achievements of your child/children and discuss areas to focus on for semester two. Take the opportunity to sit down with each of your children and share and discuss the report together. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. Please ensure you read the information attached with the report on the five point grading scale. Remember anything higher than a ‘C’ is achieving above bench mark levels, a ‘C’ is achieving and a ‘D’ is developing.

2020 Enrolments: As of this year, all enrolment forms are to be completed by parents online. If you wish to send your child to Trinity the enrolment form can be found on our Trinity website at https://www.trinitym.nsw.edu.au. Click on enrolment and fill out the form. If you happen to experience any difficulties, please contact the front office for assistance. The website is well worth a visit for all our parents. It is very informative, all the 2019 newsletters are there along with additional information, policies and photos about Trinity and our current staff.  Filling enrolment forms out now, enables Catholic Education to provide our staffing allocation for 2020. If you know of a pre-schooler or students who would like to attend Trinity next year it would be wonderful if you could pass this information onto them. Our 2020 Kinder Information evening for parents is on Monday August 5, week 3 of term 3 commencing at 6:45pm in the Kinder classroom. Kinder Orientation dates are Monday October 21, 9:10 to 12pm, Tuesday October 29, 9:10 to 12pm, Wednesday November 6, 9:10 to 12pm, Thursday November 14, 9:10 to 3:10pm and Friday November 22, 9:10 to 3:10pm. Please contact the front office if you’d like a tour. They are available at any time.

Western Regions Athletics Carnival: Good luck to all our students who are competing in the WR carnival tomorrow at Cootamundra. We are certain they will do their best and will proudly represent Trinity. A special thank you to Ms Wade for all her organisation and for supervising on the day and to our many parents who assisted with transport and supervision.

Plain Clothes Day: Next Friday we will be having a plain clothes day. The children are permitted to wear their favourite plain colours in exchange for a gold coin donation. Money will go towards Caritas Australia. Please ensure they wear sensible closed in shoes.  A special meal deal lunch will be available at the canteen.

Pupil Free Day: Monday July 22 is the first day back for Term 3 and is a pupil free day. The staff will be travelling to St Anne’s Temora for a professional development day on privacy, record keeping & wellbeing. Please make arrangements for your children for babysitting for the day.

Farewell to Fr Joshy: We are very sad to hear the news of our much loved parish priest, Fr Joshy is leaving. Our school will be holding a special farewell Mass on Thursday 12th September at 9.30am.

The Parish is also organising a farewell for Fr Joshy on Sunday 25^th August at the Galong monastery. Further details will follow at a later date.

Have a lovely long weekend

God Bless
