Our Dress Up Day and Parade will be held next week on Wednesday 23rd August.
The theme for this year's Dress Up Day is 'Read Inspire Grow'. Students may like to dress up as something related to the theme or come dressed as their favourite book character. Our Book Week Parade will be held at 9am and will be hosted by Mr David Gahan and Ms Sandra Stanton. A few ideas from last year's parade...

Art Show: Artist Nicholas Tsekouras at Trinity
Over the next few weeks we are especially fortunate to have visual artist Nicholas Tsekouras working with Ms Anna Plackett in the art room and leading our students through some collage work in prepartion for our Art Show.
Nicky is a well known local artist who has been recognised for his work and contribution to Yarra Community, being awarded the 'City of Yarra Young Citizen of the Year' award. He attended Xavier College as a student and now works at Yarra Youth Services as their Artist in Residence. He has most recently worked with the Art Teacher at Sacred Heart Primary School in Kew, and is busy with his own personal art works and exhibitions as well. We warmly welcome Nicky to our community and look foward to the work he will create with our students.
The Huddle- Year 5/6 Excursion
Our 5/6 students have the exciting opportunity to attend 'Game Day' at 'The Huddle' at North Melbourne Football Club. This week 5/6FA attended with Ms Kate Foley and Mr Frank Anania as part of our Science Week events. Next week our students from 5/6BOC will be participating. Game Day leverages the power of sport to strengthen STEM skills and aims to increase engagement among all learners, while improving student confidence. The lessons that our children will participate in have been designed in association with the Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV), The Huddle and Melbourne City Football Club. Special thanks to Kate Foley for organising this for our students.
Staying in touch...
If you have any questions or concerns about your child's learning, please do not hesitate to make contact with your child's teacher. You are also welcome to come and see me about any aspect of learning at Trinity.
