Year 7 Step-A-Thon

This week, Year 7 students took part in the Wheelchairs for Kids step-a-thon. This event is the major fundraiser for the Year 7 Cohort throughout the year and challenges them to achieve as many steps as possible in the allocated time. The WACA Ground kindly provide access to the lower courses of its seating area to challenge the boys in achieving their goals.

 

We raised over $1,000.00 to help support the work of Wheelchairs for Kids, who delivers wheelchairs to those with mobility issues in disadvantaged countries. Every bit counts! It was an inspiring sight to see the boys enthusiastically complete the challenge and have some fun in the process. The boys have learnt a valuable experience in what it means to support each other and the community around us.

Australian Maths Competition & Challenge

 

Each year Trinity College provides students the opportunity to enter a number of Mathematics competitions. Competitions provide enrichment to our Mathematics programs and allow our boys to show off their problem solving skills in different ways. This year two of the main competitions entered were the Australian Mathematics Competition and the Maths Challenge. Both of these competitions are national competitions and extremely competitive.
