Staffing News

As is normally the case in a large school such as Trinity College, we will see a number of staff changes at the end of this year. We take this opportunity to recognise those members of staff who are either departing the College or commencing periods of leave. I would like to formally acknowledge each of the following people, some of whom have been very long standing staff members, and thank them for their many and generous contributions during their time at Trinity College.

We begin by acknowledging the work of several staff members who will be retiring at the end of this year. They have provided wonderful and generous service to our College and to Catholic Education generally. We wish them every blessing as they look to enjoy the next stage of their journey:

Ross Beatson – Manager of Services, Buildings and Grounds
Gordon Dean - Religious Education Teacher
Margaret Denniston – Music Secretary
John Lamborn – Junior School/Arts Teacher
Rod Rainer – Health and Physical Education HOLA

There are several staff members who will be leaving our College at the end of the year. We wish them every success and happiness as they pursue different paths:

Joel Bass – Music Teacher
Alexandra Benson – Religious Education Teacher
Tessa Black - Humanities Teacher
Reuben Brennan – Junior School Teacher
Melani Byrne – JS Psychologist
Sean Carroll – Sports Administrator
Bobby Emmanuel – Science Teacher
Adam Gage - Information Technology HOLA
Maddison Gorman - Junior School Teacher
Russell Hinks - Career and Transition Coordinator
Josh Kirkaldy – PE Assistant
Sarah Pontre – Mathematics Teacher
Sara Pounder – Education Assistant
Matthew Riley - Health and Physical Education Teacher
Elena Santalucia - Junior School Teacher
Evelyn Temmen – Assistant Head of Junior School
Natasha Trandos - Humanities Teacher
Bree Villella - Religious Education Teacher
Claire Wilson - Mathematics Teacher
Jarrad Wood – PE Assistant

We also have a number of College staff who will be enjoying some extended leave commencing at the start of next year. We wish them a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful break:

Alanna Brennan – Junior School Teacher
Alastair Hay – Science Teacher
Ray Kosovich – Religious Education Teacher

The College is currently finalising staffing to fill the vacancies that have arisen from these changes. I will advise of new staff appointments in the first College Newsletter of next year.

I want to take this opportunity to give particular thanks to Evelyn Temmen who has fulfilled the role of Acting Head of Junior School from the start of Term 2 this year. Evelyn has been generous in her service and humble in her manner in leading the Junior school this year. We wish her the very best as she explores new ventures next year. We also look forward to welcoming Jasmin Kenworthy as the Head of Junior School, and Holly Allen as the Assistant Head of Junior School as we commence 2023.

Live Jesus in our hearts

Mr Darren O’Neill
