Principal's Message
College Website
As the College Principal, I often have the pleasure to speak at a variety of College Events at which our parents are able to attend. Of course, this is usually an easier task when not compromised by various COVID directed School Operational Guidelines regarding parents and other visitors onsite. On all such occasions, I tend to refer to the importance of the school and the home enjoying a positive and meaningful partnership - a partnership that promotes regular and open communication and one that is firmly centred on the care, interests and formation of each student. The essence of such an effective Family/College relationship is communication and I take this occasion to focus on our College Website and the important place it has in providing a great deal of communication to our community.
The Trinity College Website was extensively upgraded and re-designed last year. It is regularly updated and provides a significant amount of information about the various activities happening around the College and captures the many events that are part of college life. The various pathways can be navigated to broad areas such as Discover Trinity, Education, Community and Enrolments. In highlighting our College Website, I wanted to point out four particular areas:
School Improvement Plan 2022
As part of our commitment to ongoing school improvement, and as related to our overall Trinity College Strategic Plan - ‘Ambition 2024’, the College seeks to share with the community our annual plan for improvement initiatives. The SIP 2022 outlines the intended actions for this academic year and I would encourage all families to view this outline document:
Virtual Tour
Our College Marketing and Communications Team has just finalised a ‘Virtual Tour’ of our College. It certainly showcases our College, the campus and the many opportunities provided for our boys. Once again, I would encourage families to view this on the College Website. Word of mouth is our greatest form of advertising and, given our strong network of parent support, we would certainly appreciate our current families directing any prospective parents/students to visit the Virtual Tour. You are also very welcome to add some commentary about the famous TC Spirit!
In the Spirit – College Newsletter
Our Weekly College Newsletter, ‘In the Spirit’ is another great source of information about College life. It provides details about important events and celebrates achievement and commitment, in its various forms, from within our community. Current and past editions can be located on the College Website .
COVID-19 Information
Given these uncertain and changing times, there seems to be a constant need to communicate to parents about protocols and guidelines related to COVID-19. I understand that such communication and the changing nature of information and requests can be overwhelming.
With this in mind, the College has created a space on our website where all COVID related communications can be easily located HERE .
As previously stated, effective and timely communication is essential if positive Family/College partnerships are to continue for the benefit of the students. The College Website is one of the important channels through which we communicate with our community. The College will endeavour to do well in this area and I thank families for their continued support in this regard.
Live Jesus in our hearts.
