Farewell TC

Dear Parents and Community

As I prepare to conclude my tenure as Head of Junior School on Friday and am unable to address the parent body in person, I would like to take this opportunity to connect with you all one final time.

Having had the pleasure to be part of the TC community as a parent and staff member for eight years and as an old boy for many more, I am leaving feeling very content. On a personal level, my timing at the College has been ideal as I have been able to share this journey with my family who were fully invested in so many aspects of College life.

For the last week or so, I have reflected on my journey as Head of Junior School and look back fondly on so many happy memories. It has been an honour to guide your sons, alongside you and our staff, through the start of their Trinity schooling. I would like to thank you, parents and caregivers, for making the decision to send your students to Trinity, for your involvement in their learning and support over the past eight years. 

I would also like to acknowledge the tremendous work the teachers, education assistants and all staff do to make the Junior School a special place. We pride ourselves in making meaningful connections with the students and knowing them both personally and in an academic sense. It has been a pleasure working with the Junior School staff and I am truly proud to say we are genuinely a team that pulls together to provide the best possible experience for our students. I would also like to thank the College Leadership, who always try to make decisions and put processes in place in the best interests of our boys. 

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the boys. Seeing them grow and develop in so many ways as they move from Year 4 to 6 has been so rewarding. I love the boy’s energy and enthusiasm, their thoughtfulness and feistiness and their compassion and Christian attitude. I particularly have enjoyed coaching the various sporting teams and the opportunity to teach a number of different classes and groups throughout the years. 

Although my move seems sudden - and the timeline is – it is something that I have been working towards for a couple of years and I am excited by the new challenge that principalship offers. I would like to thank Mr Darren O’Neill especially for his understanding, mentorship, and unwavering support throughout this process. I am certain that the structures that are already in place will mean that the Junior School will continue seamlessly under the leadership of Ms Evelyn Temmen this year, and under the guidance of the future Head of Junior School from 2023. 

May your family’s TC journey continue to be a fruitful and joy filled experience, as it has been for me and my family. 

Live Jesus in our hearts

Mr Martin Tucker

Head of Junior School
