Senior School

As we come to the end of another successful year at Trinity, we take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank a number of valued staff members who are concluding their time with us. Each has made a meaningful contribution to our community, and we are grateful for the impact they have had on our students and the life of the College.

Ken Larsen

Mr Larsen has taught at Trinity for an impressive 17 years and is a much loved and highly respected member of staff. He has inspired many current Trinity teachers during their own time as students and is widely recognised for his ability to make Science, Maths and particularly Physics engaging and enjoyable.

Throughout his time at Trinity, Mr Larsen has held a wide range of roles, and we sincerely thank him for his dedication, professionalism and commitment to the thousands of students he has taught. We wish him every happiness in his well-earned retirement.

Jeremy has been an outstanding Mathematics teacher and a valued contributor to the Basketball program. In 2025, he has been an exceptional Head of Kimball House, supporting, guiding and encouraging students while building a strong and positive House culture.Jeremy is moving to an exciting new role in Melbourne. While we are sad to see him go, we thank him for his dedication and the positive impact he has had on so many students. 

We are pleased to announce that Mr David Miles will be the Head of Kimball House in 2026.

We are saddened to announce that Mrs Wise-Chalker will be leaving Trinity. 

Over the past three and a half years, she has made an outstanding contribution to the English Department and to the learning of her students.Mrs Wise-Chalker will be remembered as a dedicated, loyal and hardworking teacher, deeply committed to improving literacy and language skills. As she moves into the next chapter of her teaching career, we wish her every success.

Megan Sturges

Miss Megan Sturges joined Trinity in 2025 and quickly became a popular and well-respected teacher, particularly among her Economics classes. We thank Miss Sturges for her contribution to the College and wish her all the best as she returns to Sydney.

Tom has been a valued member of the Learning Support team for over a year, bringing with him extensive experience from both Learning Support and the fitness industry in Victoria. We congratulate Tom on accepting a role that will see him study and train with the NSW Police and wish him every success in this exciting new pathway.

Mark Brown – TAS Support

Mark has worked at Trinity for four years, commencing in the Learning Support team before moving into the TAS team, where he has provided invaluable support to both teachers and students. We congratulate Mark on completing his studies and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

French Immersion Day

Our Year 7 students enjoyed a full day of 'Frenchness' in Week 8! 

From tasting French cheeses and learning the etiquette of cutting cheese, to exploring the Eiffel Tower and building their own models, the day was packed with hands-on learning. Students also tried their skills at French bowls (pétanque) and worked together to crack an Escape Room challenge.

The highlight for many was the trivia showdown and costume competition to finish the day in style! A big thank you to our wonderful Year 9 and 10 students who helped make the day such a success.
