Term Four is proving to be full of success and growth. Students are polishing their speaking, dancing and singing skills in preparation for our school Musical. The Wizard of Oz has been a long time coming and we are very pleased to be presenting it next week. Students have learnt and re-learnt their parts because it has been postponed a number of times. However in true Trinity spirit, whatever we do we do well. Tickets for the evening performance are still on sale at the Front Office. A light supper will be served at intermission for adults and children will have a sausage sizzle and a drink. Arrangements for the final days can be found in Donna Wade's section of the newsletter. These will also be posted on Compass.

We have recently upgraded the version of Compass that we use and the transition, although working smoothly now, did cause challenges during the roll over. Thank you for your patience during this time, as always we appreciate the communication when things are not working for you and again appreciate your patience. We have also recently moved to a new finance system and Leanne is working more dilligently than ever to learn a new system. Communication from Catholic Education will be sent to families in the coming weeks. Thank you in anticipation as we learn and implement this system.

Over the last couple of weeks, Penny Lucas has facilitated a Tumbling Tots program. The program has been well received and met the needs of younger families in our Harden Murrumburrah Community. We will continue to offer a similar program in 2023, at this stage we are unsure exactly what it will be. Many thanks to Penny Lucas who went above and beyond to facilitate this program.

Last week Jack Niddrie presented at the Open Community council, he shared the excellent results we are achieving at Trinity. Although data is not the only form of demonstrating excellence in learning, data that demonstrates annomolies is very useful to look deeper into the learning of that paricular student. A teacher's professional judgement and knowledge of a student always goes hand in hand with raw data. Jack made the very important point that each little person has a number that relates to their results, not each number represents a student. Thank you Jack for your contribution and expertise.

Sunday 11 December at 6.30 will be the Community Christmas Carols at Trinity. We hope this event will be a family orientated celebration of Christmas. As the name suggests it is a Community event and all members of the Harden Murrumburah and wider community are encouraged to join us. Please share this date and time your friends and families.

I saw this beautiful passage last week and wanted to share it with you, so very true!

God bless,
