You never cease to amaze me

At the Western Region Mary Quaine Choir Festival a Peer Principal approached me and asked, "Caz, what is that young boy's name?" and pointed towards Hamish Summerfield, I replied "that's the beautiful Hamish."

She went on to say, "Well, he has beautiful manners, he approached me at the Western Region Athletics Carnival, used my name and said hello" she continued        "and today he also approached me, used my name and said hello."

Today I took great pride in giving Hamish an MJR because that is exactly what Jesus would do. These are the values the Trinitarian community communicate to our students in the way we know, love and serve. These are the reasons why we hold our heads high and live our Vision,

To Know            To Love          To Serve

To know ourselves, each other, God and our world,

to love ourselves, each other, God and our world,

to serve ourselves, each other, God and our world. 

Hamish is one example of our Vision, there are so many, I hope you are as proud our our community as I am. 

Congratulations

On Wednesday 22 June, Stella, Olagoke, Dara and Timmy became citizens of Australia. We have been lucky enough to have this beautiful family as part of the Trinitarian community for two years and now they are citizens of Australia. Dara and Timmy's parents make a significant contribution to our community through their contribution to the medical profession. We thank them for sharing their gifts and talents with us and ask God's blessing on them and the boys. As a small token of our gratitude to this exceptional family, an Aussie hamper was presented to the boys at Open House today. And you guessed it, it contains the Aussie essentials, vegemite, lamingtons, and  zinc. Congratulations.

On Thursday 23 June the Trinity school choir travelled to Young to compete in the Western Region Mary Quaine Choir Festival. The students, under the guidance of Miss Donna Wade, blew everyone away with their Easter Halleluia. I would like to make special mention of Grace Metcalfe whose singing talent was particularly evident. I have no doubt that when Grace pursues a singing career we will all stand proud. Congratulations to the Trinity Choir who came runners up, an excellent achivement. 

On Saturday 25 June Marley Oakley will compete for a place in the National Aerobic Championships. We congratulate Marley on her achivements thus far and wish her well for Saturday. Yesterday I watched a video of Marley practising and I was exhausted just watching, GO MARLEY!!!!
