I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate all mothers and those who take on a maternal role for the boys in our school community. To all mothers, I wish you a very happy Mother's Day. You are truly appreciated and valued. 

A gentle reminder that the class teacher is the primary point of contact for any matters pertaining to a student's academic progress, social interactions or general classroom experience. Regular communication between parents and class teachers allows for a comprehensive understanding of each child's needs, strengths, and areas for improvement. 

This collaborative approach enables us to provide tailored guidance and support to help your child flourish academically and personally. When concerns or queries arise, please initiate communication by contacting the respective class teacher directly. They are the best equipped to address any issues or inquiries you may have, as they possess an in-depth understanding of your child's day-to-day experiences and progress. They can provide valuable insights, offer appropriate advice, and work with you to find solutions. 

If you still have concerns or need further assistance after discussing the matter with the class teacher, please make time to see me. In such instances, I will be better informed and equipped to provide additional guidance and support to address your concerns effectively. By following this communication protocol, we can streamline the process and ensure that concerns are handled promptly and efficiently. 

I greatly value your partnership and am committed to fostering a positive and collaborative learning environment at Trinity College Junior School. Together, we can create the best possible educational experience for your child.

Making a Difference Through Caritas Australia

The Trinity College Junior School participated in fundraising for Caritas Australia in Term one, an organisation committed to tackling poverty and inequality in Australia and overseas since 1964.

In the lead-up to Lent, students watched a Project Compassion video highlighting the importance of providing safe, clean and drinkable water to villages and communities in need and the struggles that still exist in some countries. As their commitment during Lent, for every $5.00 donation towards Project Compassion, a water droplet was added to the Tapitas for Caritas. This was a visual representation for our students to see water supplied through donations to less fortunate communities.

Our outstanding students raised $986.35 for Caritas Australia, presenting a cheque to Caritas Australia’s Community Engagement representative, Deacon Paul Reid, at the school assembly. Deacon Paul Reid touched on the importance of the donations received and how this impact will help. We asked two of our students why this charity was important to them, and this is what they had to say;

Samir - Year 4: “I have more stuff than I need, and watching the people who don’t have as much as I do, I wanted to help them because I see the importance of helping others,” he said.  

Arthur – Year 5: “When I think of a life. I think of people with clean water, car and a house. When I see Project Compassion, I see these people who have nothing, and it made me think I’m lucky and wanted to help others by donating money,” he said. 

Bastian - Year 6: "Project Compassion happens at the same time as Easter which is the most important time in the Catholic calendar. It is a reminder of what we can do for other people just as Jesus did for us," he said.
