NAIDOC Week
50 Years of Deadly
There was plenty happening across the College this week as our students came together to celebrate NAIDOC Week through culture, creativity, sport and community.
Students took to the court for NAIDOC Basketball, spent time creating collaborative artworks in the Art Room, and brought plenty of energy to NAIDOC Footy on Mann Oval.
We also gathered on Centenary Park for Feed the Future, where students had the opportunity to share kangaroo stew and connect through food and culture.
These activities provided opportunities for our students to engage with NAIDOC Week in different ways, while continuing to learn, listen and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Thank you to our First Nations students, staff and everyone who helped bring the week to life across Trinity.
Junior School Open Day
Last Wednesday, we threw open the doors of our Junior School and welcomed more than 300 prospective families to experience all that our College has to offer. Despite the cold weather, there was a wonderful sense of enthusiasm and excitement throughout the day.
A sincere thank you to all the families who attended. We appreciated the opportunity to connect with you and look forward to welcoming many of you into our Trinity College community in the future.
Applications for 2029
Early next year, we will commence the interview process for students seeking entry into Year 4 and Year 7 in 2029.
As places in these cohorts are in high demand and fill quickly, we encourage all current families with younger siblings to submit an application as soon as possible if they have not already done so.
Lodging an application early helps ensure your child can be considered as part of the enrolment process and avoids disappointment.

Trinity Ave After-Hours Road Closures
Weeks 3.8 & 3.9 | Monday, 7 September - Friday 18 September
The College has been notified of upcoming required pipe rehabilitation/relining works that will take place in weeks 3.8 and 3.9, necessitating the closure of Trinity Avenue for vehicles, after-hours between 6.00pm - 6.00am.
When: Monday, 7 September - Friday, 18 September 2026
Monday through Friday only; no weekend works/closures
Trinity Ave closed from: 6.00pm

During these after-hours timeframes, entry and exit to the College will be undertaken via the Braithwaite Street gate between the Pavilion and Junior School (TC Gate 4).
It is anticipated there should be limited impact on the TC community during this period, given the works take place after-hours.

Share the Dignity
Trinity College Collection Drive
Starting next week until September, the Staff Wellbeing Committee is promoting the Share the Dignity Drive. To address period poverty, we are asking that we work together to make a real, on-the-ground difference to the lives of women, girls and those who menstruate or suffer incontinence, who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, domestic violence, or poverty.
Your generous donation of any of the following items will be very much appreciated:
Pads
Tampons
Menstrual Cups
Period Underwear
Incontinence Aids
Please note: all products must remain in their original, unopen packaging.
We have placed 4 boxes around the College:
Student Services
Reception
Junior School Reception
Staff Lounge
Our aim is to assist the Share Dignity Mission by ensuring that everyone is afforded the dignity in life that so many of us take for granted.
From all the Wellbeing Committee we thank you for your support.
The West Australian Pulse
Former Year 12 Visual Arts ATAR student Jake Ieraci ('25) has had his artwork, Blind Exchange, selected by a panel of judges for inclusion in the prestigious West Australian Pulse 2026 exhibition.
The exhibition is on display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia until 13 September 2026, showcasing outstanding artworks by graduating Year 12 Visual Arts students from across Western Australia.
We congratulate Jake on this outstanding achievement and invite our school community to visit the exhibition. While you're there, you can also support Jake by voting for his artwork in the People's Choice Art Award.
