Trinity College Cross Country Championships

Thursday, 2 April

Following a ‘Challenge Day’ theme during the second instalment of our Health & Physical Education week, Trinity’s students were put to the ultimate endurance test over the pacy 3km course. Into its 4th year, it was fantastic to have had record numbers competing this year, including just under 200 students in the Year 7 race.

Open to Year 8-12 students by nomination, the event’s aim is to serve as an opportunity for students to further demonstrate the “Spirit of Excellence” and strive to be a part of the College’s team at the SSWA Interschool event next term.

The positive attitude and enthusiasm displayed by the students on the day was undoubtedly in respect of the great effort put in by many staff in preparation, as without the support of College teaching, grounds and administration staff, such an event could not run so smoothly.

The top placing students for each year group were as follows:

Congratulations to these highly deserving students who will receive their medals at the assembly next term and well done to all runners involved for demonstrating great sportsmanship regardless of where they finished.

Many personal bests were achieved through grit and determination, and special mention is deserved for our ‘hat-trick’ School Champion Daniel Russo (12.4) who was again the deserving recipient of the Perpetual Trophy for the fastest runner across the course on the day. (9.50 minutes) Brilliant effort, Daniel, you’ve set an exceptional standard for our runners to aspire to in the years to come.

Cricket Windup

Middle & Senior School 2025/2026 

Building Momentum in TC Cricket

The Trinity College Cricket community came together on Saturday 28 March 2026 in Gibney Hall for the Middle and Senior School Cricket Windup. The evening provided a wonderful opportunity for TC cricketers from Years 7 to 12, along with their families, friends, coaches and team managers, to come together and celebrate the 2025/2026 PSA Cricket season.

A Night of Reflection and Celebration

A special highlight of the evening was the recognition of our Year 12 cricketers – the Class of 2026 – who were warmly clapped into the hall in acknowledgement of their contribution to the TC Cricket program.

We were fortunate to hear from Old Boy and parent, Mr Justin Hannah, a valued and long-time supporter of TC Cricket. His sons, Taylor (Class of 2021) and Riley (Class of 2026), have both been integral members of the program. Mr Hannah spoke about the importance of community and connection within TC Cricket.

First XI Captain Riley Hannah also addressed attendees, reflecting on his time in the program and encouraging younger players to continue developing their skills and enjoy their cricket journey.

A Warm Welcome and a Fond Farewell

The energy in the room was evident, particularly with our Year 7 students attending their first official cricket event as part of the TC community. Their enthusiasm is a promising sign for the continued growth of the program.

For our Year 12 students, the evening was a bittersweet occasion - their final Cricket Windup before finishing their time at the College. We thank them for their contributions and wish them every success for the remainder of 2026 and beyond. As they move forward, we hope they carry with them the skills, friendships and values developed through their involvement in TC Cricket.

Changes to Sporting Communication

We have updated the way sporting information is shared with families. Sports fixtures and training times are now available through the Trinity College mobile app and Clipboard.

Parents who have not yet installed the Trinity College app are strongly encouraged to do so, as it is the primary way to stay up to date with current sporting events. A setup guide for the app can be found here. All sporting information is found behind Sport Notices button on the app.

Once the app is set up, sporting activities can also be viewed via Clipboard. This can be accessed through SEQTA by selecting the tile labelled “Clipboard”. To sign in, click “Sign in with SSO” under Guardian and use the same credentials as the app.

Please remember to regularly check your son's sporting information. Team changes can occasionally happen on the morning of the sporting activity.

TCRC Fund-A-Breakfast

The TC Rowing Club (TCRC) is one of the College’s largest and most active ‘friends of’ groups, which supports numerous aspects of the rowing program. This includes the provision of breakfast items for rowers after training.

Understanding that time is precious, and it can sometimes be difficult to commit to volunteering for breakfast-provision services, the TCRC has developed another way to contribute… the ‘Fund-A-Breakfast’ program!

Funds raised will go towards the provision of breakfast for the rowers, which can include (but is not limited to) items such as oats, cereals, muffins, bacon and eggs, and other delicious goods.

Families are welcome to contribute as much or as little as they like, and as often as they like. All funds gratefully accepted.

• $80 – Breakfast for a crew (9x persons)

• $250 – Breakfast for a year level

• $750 – Breakfast for the club

• Other donation amount (starting from $50) – ‘make a breakfast’
