Merry Christmas to all Students and Families

2024 Secondary Class Lists

Secondary class lists will not be finalised until the students return on Thursday 1 February.

This includes Pastoral Care classes, general teaching classes and any streamed classes.

It is possible that classes may appear on Compass before then. Please disregard this until school resumes in 2024, as they will not necessarily accurately reflect the classes.

After school has resumed in 2024, please get in touch with Miss Bailey if you wish to discuss the class your child has been placed in.

Congratulations to the 2024 SRC

Congratulations to Hannah Bourke, Jessica Hill, Eliza McNamara, Elkie Sargeant, Griffin Sanderson, George Taylor, Thomas Taylor and Colby Walker.

Congratulations to Griffin Sanderson and Jessica Hill, who have been elected 2024 Holy Trinity School Captains.

Vinnies Christmas Appeal

Festive Food Hampers

Students are being encouraged to bring in 'Festive Food' items for their class hampers. All hampers will be donated to St Vincent de Paul for distribution to those in need in our local community. Hampers will be collected and taken to the Hall during our Thanksgiving Prayer celebrations on Thursday 14 December.

Coin Drop

On Wednesday, 13 December, we will have a Coin Drop in the K - 2 Quadrangle. Students are encouraged to bring in some loose coins to contribute.

We thank you in advance for your generosity and support of these important traditions - they make a difference to many people in our community.

Lost Property

Students have been advised to check lost property. Many clothing items and other belongings do not have names, making it very difficult to return them to the correct owner.

Presentation Day

Congratulations to all award recipients. It was great to have parents attend the Presentation Day assembly today to celebrate the students' hard work and commitment to their studies.

Reports

Reports will be distributed later this week. Students are able to collect their reports from their Pastoral Care teacher when they return to school if they are absent. Reports will also be available via Compass.

Congratulations to Elkie Sargeant

Congratulations to Elkie Sargeant, who was part of the dance ensemble at the Schools Spectacular in Sydney.

Week 10 End-of-Year Activities

Students will come to school normally on Friday to play sports and some games in the morning. Classes will then have their individual parties and make their own arrangements for lunch.

Year groups will then watch movies in the afternoon. Please check Compass to give viewing consent.

Students can wear plain clothes and will need to check with their Pastoral Care teachers about food arrangements for the day. Students will need to bring their own food if they do not take up this option as the canteen will be closed on Friday.
