The P.A.R.T.Y Program Comes to Trinity College

As a school, our responsibility extends beyond the classroom – we also play a critical role in preparing young people to navigate the challenges and choices of the world. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce a first for Trinity College: the launch of the PARTY Program (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth) delivered on-site in collaboration with Royal Perth Hospital.

Traditionally run within hospital setting, the PARTY Program is a powerful, evidence-based initiative designed to show students the real-life consequences of risky behaviour through the lens of trauma, recovery, and prevention.

Thanks to the tireless work of our College wellbeing team and our strong partnership with Royal Perth Hospital, Trinity College is the first school in Western Australia to host this program on campus.

This immersive program placed Year 11 students face-to-face with real stories from trauma survivors, paramedics, and medical professionals. It walks them through the ripple effect of split-second decisions — from the trauma scene to the ICU, to long-term rehabilitation. These are sobering and often life-changing lessons that help shape more informed, resilient, and safety-conscious young men.

Bringing the PARTY Program directly into our school is not just a logistical innovation; it’s a statement about our commitment to the wellbeing and safety of our students. By making this content more accessible to a whole cohort and relevant within our own environment, we’re empowering our boys to think critically about their actions, to make choices that protect themselves and others, and to understand that they are not invincible.

We extend our sincere thanks to the team at Royal Perth Hospital for their vision and support, and to our Trinity staff for helping pioneer this important initiative. Let this be the first of many bold steps we take together in equipping our young people for life.

Mock Trials

Last Wednesday evening two Trinity Mock Trial teams competed against Ioan College at the Supreme Court of Western Australia. Unfortunately, our third team won by forfeit robbing them of the chance to participate in a trial after significant hours of preparation.

Both our teams lost narrowly to Iona, however all boys performed admirable. I congratulate all boys who competed in the Mock Trial competition this year. They have developed some valuable skills in the areas of advocacy and understanding the judicial process in Western Australia.

I would like to thank the teaching staff who have assisted me with supervision of students this year; Mr. Fletcher Cooke, Mr. David Borrello, Ms. Sonia Scordo and Mr. Phil Jurjevich. I would also like to thank my official legal advisors who have provided myself and the students with technical legal advice; Judge Seamus Rafferty SC (class of ’91) and my son Beau Allanson (class of ’23).

I look forward to seeing all year 10 and 11 students interested in taking up a career in the law participating in this competition in 2026.
