Pink Sock Day

#PullOnYourSocks

Next week, TC will take part in our 11th annual Pink Sock Day fundraiser in support of the McGrath Foundation! 

For 20 years, the Foundation focused on the provision of care and service specifically towards people with breast cancer; now, the Foundation has taken its care to all cancers. The TC Pink Sock Day campaign will not only help educate our TC men to demonstrate a greater awareness and appreciation towards health - for women and men - but will also help raise vital funds to support the McGrath Foundation's work in providing free care and support to all people experiencing cancer and their family. 

More information about how students, staff, and the wider TC community can get involved during our TC vs Aquinas fixture will be shared in due course. In the meantime, families are welcome to donate directly to our dedicated McGrath Foundation fundraising page.

Trinity Sunday Mass

TC Old Boys, current families, staff and the wider community are invited to attend the annual Trinity Sunday Mass and Morning Tea, to be held on Sunday, 31 May. This is an important date on the Liturgical calendar as it celebrates the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, the three Persons of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Mass will commence at 9.00am in the Trinity College Chapel, and will be followed by a light morning tea in the Staff Lounge. 

Please bring along a plate of food to share for morning tea, as the College relies on food donations for this event.

There is no requirement to register for this event.

• Time: 9.00am

• Venue: Trinity College Chapel

"Teens, parties, alcohol and vapes: What do parents need to know?" - Presented by Paul Dillon

A TC Parent Council event

The Trinity College Parent Council (TCPC) invites you to their first guest speaker night for 2026, "Teens, parties, alcohol and vapes: What do parents need to know?" - Presented by Paul Dillon.

During adolescence, teens develop a biological need to be around friends and it is important to provide them with opportunities to socialise with their peers whenever possible. Using the most current data available, Paul will examine the use of alcohol and other drugs by school-based young people. Simple strategies will be provided to help ensure teens are able to interact with friends on a Saturday night and, at the same time, reduce the risk of underage drinking and the potential dangers associated with such behaviour. 

In addition, up-to-date information will be provided on vaping, particularly in relation to young people. It aims to empower parents with a positive message and assist them in having open and honest family discussions in this complex area.

• Date: Tuesday, 9 June

• Times: 6.15pm - 8.00pm

• Venue: Trinity College Sports Centre

• Cost: $20 per person (excl. booking fees)

• Other info:

  • This is an adult-focused event, for parents/guardians only (no students).

  • Please share this event amongst your networks/with fellow parents, to ensure as many parents as possible hear Paul's important presentation.

  • Your ticket includes the provision of an individual grazing box, a non-alcoholic drink, and small sweet treat.

Year 9: "Towards Manhood" - An Evening with Daniel Principe

A 'Becoming Men' event for Year 9 fathers/father figures/male mentors

Save the date - fathers, father-figures and mentors of our Year 9 students are invited to our upcoming special event, 'Towards Manhood - An Evening with Daniel Principe', which will be held on the evening on Thursday 25 June.

Daniel is a passionate youth advocate and educator who champions boys across Australia to challenge culture and aspire to live courageous, respectful and empathetic lives. He is a board member of the DART Institute, an ambassador for the Women’s Resilience Centre and an ambassador for the national campaign Consent Can’t Wait. He was recently a nominee for the 2025 NSW Australian of the Year.

Daniel is a regular guest on TV, radio and podcasts to discuss healthy masculinity, consent, respectful relationships and the cultural challenges young people are facing. None of these evolving challenges sway Daniel’s confidence that all young people can flourish if we create spaces for them to be their best selves.

This FREE workshop will be interactive and driven by conservations with Daniel and all attendees. This event is for adults-only (fathers and/or mentors of our Year 9 students): no children on this occasion. 

Places for the event are strictly limited. More information to come soon, including the event registration link.
