Principal's News

Dear Families,

What a wonderful term it has been! When I look back on our school calendar it is incredible to think we were able to fit so much in, in just nine weeks. With our first semester now completed we are at the halfway point of the year. Many families have already met with teachers and tonight many more will have the special opportunity to meet with their child's teacher to discuss the written report and to share in a student led conversation which allows our children to, not only share some of the highlights of their learning, but also to talk about some of the challenges they may have had throughout the term. Our children have worked very hard on their presentations and are really looking forward to this evening. 

They say a picture paints a thousand words and so, rather than make a long list of our highlights this term, I have included below a number of pictures which I hope captures the excitement, the learning and the wonderful community we have here at Trinity.  I thank all our families for giving us so many amazing children to work with each day. I cannot tell you how often I hear our teachers and visitors to our school speak about how lucky we are to have such wonderful, welcoming children. They truly are a credit to you all as parents. Of course I couldn't capture everything but I hope it just reminds you all of some of the great fun and learning we've had so far.

I am already looking forward to our Term 3 and all we have planned especially our Art Show and Book Week just to name two highlights. 

Have a wonderful break from the school routine, wishing each of our families a safe and enjoyable two weeks, hope you all have opportunities to spend some great time together.

BOITE Choir Fundraiser Beakfast. 

What a very special morning we had on Monday with our BOITE School Choir Breakfast Fundraiser. Mr Ru will share more details on his, however, I wanted to once again thank all those parents and staff who helped in the lead up, especially Amanda, Mike and Kelly and of course on the morning with dishing up and the huge clean up afterwards. Many hands certainly make light work.

Kind Regards
