Secondary School

Italian Week

Another beautiful celebration of the Italian language and culture this week at Trinity College. Each day PCGs competed against each other to see who could win the Italian quiz each morning. From Tuesday to Thursday at lunch, Tino from Amico Café brought his gelato cart and many boys took advantage of the fresh and authentic gelato on offer. 

 

On Monday morning the Year 4 and 5 classes had a visit from Daniele Foti-Cuzzola, author of Arriverà la Befana a Fremantle (Is the Befana Coming to Fremantle)? He shared the story of the Befana, the Italian Christmas witch and talked about the tradition of Epiphany in Italy. Tuesday, four Year 11s, Nathan Tobin, Adam de Masi, Javier Chadinha and Oscar Palermo, took on Mr Kros, Mr Mayne, Mr Jesson and Mr Riley, competed in the staff v students Giro d’Italia scooter race. It was a hotly contested event with the students taking the lead early, but Mr Mayne put the teachers in the lead at the final changeover. Unfortunately, Mr Kros hit the deck and the students took the win for the first time since its inception! 

 

Thursday turned out to be a beautiful day with many Italian cars on display in Centenary Park. The boys enjoyed chatting to the owners about the cars and finding out more about them. The Ferrari was certainly a big hit! Many boys enjoyed beautiful slices of pizza from Cicciobello. Ms Knapman and Ms Ierace dressed as Mario and Luigi for the day and we have to say that all in all, the 7th Italian Week at Trinity College was a fantastic event
