Support Edmund Rice Camp for Kids
Trinity College's very own Head of English, Ms Su-fen Chung has crocheted a magnificent blanket over a period of six months and has very kindly donated it as a raffle prize to raise funds for a cause dear to Trinity, the Edmund Rice Camp for Kids.
Students and staff from Trinity regularly attend these camps as leaders, cooks and bus drivers. Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA Inc (ERCKWA) is a non-profit community based organisation that serves the needs of WA 'at risk' or disadvantaged children aged 7–16 and their families (families who would not otherwise have such opportunities).

About the Artist
This blanket was designed by Dutch crochet artist Christina Hadderingh. It was inspired by the National Natural History Museum and the novel by Anthony Doerr ‘All the Light We Cannot See’.
As you admire the blanket, imagine strolling through the many halls of the Museum such as the Jardin de Plantes (the museum gardens) and the Galerie d’Entomologie and seeing elephants, bees, butterflies, geodes, leaves and even shells in the design of this unique piece. The yarn used is Scheepjes Stonewashed (78% Cotton + 22% Acrylic) and it is recommended that the blanket is handwashed in cold water and dried naturally.

An Evening with Glenn Mitchell
Wednesday night was the first official event presented by the 2022/23 Trinity College Parent Council. It was 'An Evening with Glenn Mitchell', former sports commentator and writer for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. In conjunction with Wellness Week, Glenn spoke about his illustrious career, and the trials and tribulations of his success. The evening was well attended and received.
Thanks to all attendees on Wednesday night, and if you were unable to make this one, we hope to see you at our next event, The Parent Sundowner will be on Friday October 28. Save the date!
As mentioned in the last newsletter, the current 2033/23 TCPC, are a slightly new outfit this year, but we continue to represent the same values in keeping the TC community connected and engaged within the year groups, through such events. We also remain one of many conduits of communication between parents and the College Leadership Team.
