A very big thankyou to one and all for the emphasis that is being placed on reading at home. The students are overwhelmingly excited to come and share their next steps in reading.

We have been blessed to secure Miss Geneieve Carmony to join Team Trinity in 2023. Geneieve is currently working at Binalong School and is delighted to be joining us next year. Mrs Julie Doolan will take a well earned break next year from her two days a week at Trinity. Once again we have been blessed to secure Mrs Amy Mergard to fill these two days at Trinity.

God bless,

Environmental Workshops

Today we had Bridget, an EnviroMentor from Keep NSW Beautiful, conduct two workshops for K-4 and 5/6. During these workshops the students learnt about sustainable practices that are beneficial to our environment. The 'In The Bin' topic focused on the environmental implications of littering, sorting of waste and correct disposal.

Following these workshop, it was time to get messy! Bridget laid out a tarpaulin on the grass and emptied a bin on it. The students then had to put on some gloves and sorted the waste into categories. This was a great way for the students to understand the volume and types of materials we throw away everyday!

Boorowa Touch Carnival

CANCELLED! The 2022 Boorowa Touch and Netball Carnival, that was scheduled to be held on Friday 21 October, has been cancelled due to the run of wet weather and the conditions of the Boorowa Showground.

Week 1

Trinity school community staff and friends would like to wish the following people a wonderful birthday.

This year all students from K-6 have been given a Home Reading Log where they are to record their reading each night.

It has been great to see the number of ‘Reading Nights’ children have recorded in their home reading log.

Once children reach a reading goal of nights they are rewarded with a sticker for their book from Mrs Perryman.

Keep up the great reading!!
