Year 10 History Excursion

As part of the Year 10 History curriculum, students attended an excursion to the Holocaust Institute of Western Australia. The visit helped students gain a deeper understanding of the enduring consequences of the Holocaust and encouraged them to reflect critically on issues of discrimination, prejudice and moral responsibility. The experience inspired thoughtful discussion about the importance of fostering an inclusive and respectful society.

Senior School Robotics Club: Take on the Challenge

Each January, school teams in more than thirty countries are given the same engineering problem at the same moment. From there you get six weeks to design a robot, build it, program it and get it working. This is the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), and it is what our Senior School Robotics Club is working towards.

Most of what the boys get out of it has very little to do with robots. Nobody builds one of these alone, so they learn to split the work up, rely on each other and get it done together.

It takes a team of students with a wide range of skills to work on this project together to be able to accomplish the objectives. We need all sorts. Designers, engineering students, students who are good with their hands, electrical and programming people, a drive team, and plenty of other roles.

Every year the challenge is new, so nothing carries over. We won't know the 2027 problem until January, but there is plenty we can do before then, which is why the team is already training. We have a good group so far but need more team members and hopefully compete next year.

The club runs Mondays in A116 and Wednesdays in the Treacy Centre workshop, after school from 3:05pm to 4:45pm. Any student from Year 7 to Year 12 can come along, and you don't need any experience or special skills. The FRC team is the main focus for the senior boys, while our younger members work with LEGO EV3 robots and build up the skills they'll need later on.

We are also after mentors. If you have skills that could help the team, or know someone who does, we would be glad to hear from you. Industrial design, engineering, fabrication, machining, electronics and software are the obvious ones, but business, marketing or sponsorship experience is just as welcome. Even a few visits across the build season are worth a lot.

LAST CHANCE - Sales Close on Thursday

The Class of 2027 (current Year 11s) is invited to be part of the TC Parent Council’s ‘Legacy Graduation Paver’ Fundraiser!

This fundraiser was first launched last year by the TCPC, and saw recent Graduating Classes invited to purchase a paver in the initial run. Now, it's time for the Class of 2027 to get involved. For only $100 per paver, you can leave your mark on the Trinity College grounds, all while raising funds to support the TCPC’s efforts to enhance the buildings, grounds and programs at the school – for all students.

Important information

Sales close: 3.00pm, Thursday 24 September
- This is the only opportunity for the Class of 2027 to purchase a paver; if you miss the cut-off, you miss out!

The pavers will be laid on the walkway outside the Sports Centre/pool area at TC’s East Perth campus. (Laid) pavers from previous Graduating Year Levels can be viewed at this location.
The production of the pavers is being managed by the TC Parent Council, not the TC Uniform Shop. Please direct all paver queries to tcparentcouncil@gmail.com
