Dear Families and Friends,

We have had another amazing week of learning and fun at Trinity which started off with a visit by 24 of our friends from Dame Nellie Melba Kinder, some of their parents and their teachers. They really got a taste of how special it is to be a student at Trinity. Thank you to all those involved and especially, Mrs Foley, our Kinder Transition Coordinator, who organized a fantastic experience for the children.  Mrs Marinelli has included some beautiful photos in her Student Learning Page which really captured the day. 

School Enrolments

As I am sure you are all aware, strong student enrolments are essential to ensuring we are able to maintain and improve all we do here at Trinity. Each year we spend time visiting Kinders, building those relationships and of course promoting our amazing school to the local community. As we know, word of mouth is a key element when prospective families are choosing a school. We are very lucky that our reputation is extremely positive and that so often new families who come to us have heard from others about the strong community we have and the great learning that is offered to each of our children. Whilst we are still taking enrolments for 2024, our current numbers are already on the increase and we look forward to this continued growth as we all work together to further improve our already wonderful school. 

Staff Professional Learning

Thank you all again for supporting our staff as they participate in a full day of professional learning tomorrow. I know these closure days can cause challenges for families, especially where parents have to make arrangements for children's care.  All our professional learning is chosen and designed to ensure that ultimately our children benefit from their teacher's learning.  

Aussie Aussie Aussie

A very big congratulations to Ms Elorraine who became an Australian Citizen yesterday. We love this photo of her and her husband Kyle following the ceremony.  Ms Elorraine was born in South Africa but Australia has been her home for many years now. We wish both Ms Elorraine and her husband Kyle the very best as new Australian Citizens.

Prayers for our children:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of life. 

Thank You, especially for the children who You have entrusted to us. 

Truly, they are a treasure from You, Lord. They make life so much more fulfilling. 

We will be forever grateful to You for giving them to us. 

As our children are growing up, help us, Father, to be good examples to them always. Help us to be good parents and teachers. Help us to love them just like You have loved us. 

Enable us to bring them up with love and care. 

I also ask You to bless our children, God. As we do our best, with Your help, to teach them how to live a good life, help them to always do the right thing. 

Bless their minds with sound decision-making skills. Let their hands be channels of Your blessing to their friends, classmates, and relatives. 

Enable them to speak words of life, encouragement, and grace.

Amen
