PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Welcome to Term 1 Week 9!

On Sunday 16 March, I enjoyed the company of these four great students as we represented Holy Trinity School at the annual Legacy Luncheon. What great young people our students voted for to be our school captains this year! Thanks to their families who got them to the RSM for the lunch on a Sunday.

I also got to visit the Primary Cross Country last Friday. I enjoyed chatting with the students who had raced and were waiting to race. I am really proud of our high attendance for primary and secondary on Cross Country days. Although it is not everyone's favourite event I am proud that our students come and join in. It is really important in life to give things a go even if you are not good at it. The spirit of participation is currently really strong! Thanks to the many families who were able to come along and cheer on not only their children but other students. Your support is appreciated.

Congratulations to...

To our Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students who completed NAPLAN over the last two weeks and thank you to Mr Koch, Mr Ehsman, Mrs Wait and Mrs Koch for their co-ordination of these assessments.
