World's Greatest Shave

Class of 2026

On behalf of the Class of 2026, please find the link below to donate to our Year 12 team for the upcoming World's Greatest Shave in Week 8 of this Term. Our team has a number of Year 12 students (currently at 65 students) shaving their head to raise funds and awareness for the Leukaemia Foundation. 

Blood cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian children, and the team is looking to do their bit in raising funds and awareness for the cause. Every donation big or small makes a massive difference and we would very much appreciate anything you may be able to contribute.

Humanities Week 2026

Humanities Week at TC is a celebration of history, culture, and critical thinking, bringing learning to life beyond the classroom. Throughout the week, students engaged in a diverse range of activities designed to deepen their understanding of the Humanities while fostering collaboration, curiosity, and a sense of community.

Our Year 7 students kicked off the festivities with “The Amazing Trinity Race,” an engaging, campus-wide challenge that had students working in teams to solve clues and uncover the College's rich history. The activity not only encouraged teamwork and problem-solving but also helped students develop a stronger connection to the Trinity community. Creativity and innovation were on full display during the Year 7 Lego Landmark Challenge, where students constructed famous global landmarks using Lego. This activity combined geographical knowledge with design thinking, allowing students to demonstrate both their understanding and imagination.

Adding a competitive and entertaining spirit to the week, staff took centre stage in a lively “Gladiator Arena” showdown. Teachers faced off in a series of friendly battles, much to the delight of students, who enthusiastically supported their favourites. The event was a highlight, showcasing the fun and camaraderie that underpin our College’s culture.

Students also stepped back in time during the Medieval Game Fair, where they experienced a variety of traditional children’s games from medieval and ancient Roman societies. This immersive activity provided a hands-on understanding of how leisure and play have evolved, linking historical concepts to real-world experiences.

A particularly powerful session for our Year 9 students was the visit from John Button, who shared his harrowing experience of being wrongfully convicted for the death of his girlfriend, Rosemary Anderson. John spoke candidly about the lasting psychological impact of the miscarriage of justice, including the trauma of arrest, imprisonment, stigma, and the struggle to rebuild his life after exoneration. His story gave students an important insight into the human cost of injustice and the need for fairness, critical thinking, and perseverance in the legal system.

Science and Engineering Challenge

Last Tuesday, 12 May, Trinity College students participated in the exciting National Science and Engineering Challenge, competing against several schools in a range of hands-on STEM activities designed to test problem-solving, teamwork, creativity, and engineering skills.

Throughout the day, students worked collaboratively to tackle a variety of practical challenges that required critical thinking, communication, and perseverance under pressure. From engineering builds to scientific investigations, the activities encouraged students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios while developing valuable teamwork skills.

Our students represented Trinity College exceptionally well, demonstrating enthusiasm, resilience, and outstanding collaboration across all events. It was fantastic to see students supporting one another, sharing ideas, and working together to solve complex problems.

A highlight of the day was Trinity College achieving an impressive 3rd place overall, a wonderful accomplishment against strong competition. Most importantly, students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and embraced the opportunity to challenge themselves in a fun and engaging environment.

Congratulations to all students involved for their excellent efforts and for representing Trinity College with such pride and professionalism.

WA Law Society’s Mock Trial Competition

Round 2

On Monday evening, the three Trinity College Mock Trial teams participated in round 2 of the WA Law Society’s Mock Trial competition. The trial was a criminal matter involving an underworld figure charged with removing and or collecting guano (a regulated agricultural product derived from bird manure). Of the three teams, two emerged victorious on the evening. All boys put considerable effort into their preparations and performed very well on the night doing the College proud.

A very big thankyou to Ms Sonia Scordo, Miss Tamzen Paine and Mr Luke Bodley for assisting with supervision on the night. I would also like to thank the large number of parents who came along to support the boys.
