Principal's Desk

Dear Parents,

As we enter the final week of our school year and publish our last school newsletter for 2024, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude for such a successful school year. To the countless volunteers that have contributed to the life of our school this year - thank you! At Holy Trinity we are extremely fortunate to have so many people who give so generously of their time and talents. It is an absolute pleasure and privilege to be a school leader in the HT community.  So once again, thank you!

A special thank you to our dedicated and hardworking staff. The staff at Holy Trinity strive to provide the best learning environment to meet the individual needs of all students in our school. They have a strong commitment to professional learning, a true example of what it means to be life-long learners. Being a teacher can be extremely challenging but also incredibly rewarding. I am most grateful for the support of all staff in working towards our school motto; `Love One Another’.

Finally, thank you most of all to our amazing students at HT and SMC. It has been a pleasure to lead you as School Principal and to observe and acknowledge the academic, social and spiritual growth in so many of our students.

We look forward to acknowledging and celebrating the primary school journey of our Year 6 students this Wednesday evening at the Graduation Mass and Ceremony. They have been a wonderful cohort of students throughout their time at HT and been great role models and leaders of our school this year.

I would also like to wish our departing students and families well for 2025 and beyond.   I would like to thank these parents for entrusting our staff for the education and care of their child. I would also like to thank them for their many and varied contributions to our community - thank you!
