Year 12 2016 Results
FROM THE HEADMASTER
Earlier this year, I had the great privilege of hearing a speech delivered by Lieutenant General David Lindsay Morrison AO, the former Chief of Army and Australian of the Year for 2016. Lieutenant General Morrison was speaking about a topic which is very close to my heart – culture. He said that ‘Culture consists of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.’ Today, in this publication we seek to tell the academic story of our VCE students, a very important part of our culture, but only one part of the Trinity Culture.
The story that we present here is merely a snapshot of their journey through Trinity. The 165 young men who graduate this year have been exceptional for many things; their academic story is but one. They have been actors, musicians, debaters, sportsmen and, importantly, great men of service to others. They have been tireless in raising money for charitable causes and their attendance at the African Homework Club on a Friday night has been remarkable. Considering the breadth of the boys’ interests and activities, these academic results bear testament to the roundness of these fine young men and renews in us the confidence that our school’s focus on producing fine, well rounded individuals continues to bear fruit.
I would like to commend our dedicated staff who continue to go above and beyond the call of duty to support our boys. My colleagues are diligent, intelligent and devoted pedagogues who have created the conditions of success in their daily practice and relational approach to teaching. Mr Fred Brown-Greaves and Mrs Susan Hill are most deserving of special mention in their work as Head and Deputy Head of Year 12.
I acknowledge all our VCE students for these excellent results, but our joint Duces Jun Kim and Tiger Lin and Proxime Accessit Lachlan Collins should receive particular congratulations. To the exceptional men of 2016, well done!
