Trinity College Advisory Council

The College Advisory Council consists of community members willing to bring their interest, experience and respective skills to collectively assist the College and the Principal, in ensuring good governance processes and sound strategic planning for the future. The generosity of the Council members in serving the Trinity College community is certainly appreciated and much valued. As is usually the case at the end of the year, membership on the Council tends to change as people complete their respective tenures.

 

On behalf of the Trinity College community, I wish to acknowledge the very generous support, wisdom and encouragement of the following Advisory Council members and wish them all of God’s blessings in the future.

            

            Mr Wayne French

            Mrs Marion Gismondi

            Mr Jason Marocchi

            Mr Basil Mistilis

            Mr Stephen Moloney (Chair of Council)

 

In particular, I would like to thank Mr Stephen Moloney. As Chair of Council, he has guided the College with foresight and discernment, overseen the design and implementation of the College Strategic Plan and supported me as the Principal.

 

The College has commenced the process of appointing new Advisory Council members and a Chair of Council for next year. I look forward to informing our community of the 2022 Trinity College Advisory Council as we commence next year.
