From the Principal
My piece today looks at who we are and where we are going. The ‘who’ is in the context of a broad debate in the Anglican church, and the ‘where’ pertains to our Strategic Plan.
Some of my readers will be aware that the media has reported on a decree by the Sydney Anglican Archdiocese that new principals and directors of its school boards sign a document affirming they believe marriage is between a man and a woman. As the whole Australian Anglican communion meets for its Synod this week (akin to parliament), these issues are likely to continue to attract media attention. They may well challenge the traditional unity of the national church.
Despite being one church, there is significant difference between the approaches of individual dioceses to these matters. Whereas the Sydney Anglican position is socially conservative, it does not describe the Anglican position across the country, and it certainly does not describe Trinity’s position. We are proud to be part of the Anglican ‘via media’, or ‘middle way’, that for us means that we embrace inclusion and practise a generous hospitality. Another, key difference is the varied diocesan expectations on schools and the constitutional obligations on them. Whereas we are proud of our strong links to the Melbourne Archdiocese, we are not shaped by diocesan obligation. We are not governed by the church.
Trinity’s is a broad community and a broad demographic. All are welcome. All belong.
In terms of strategy, as our strategic planning process matures and we move closer to understanding its ultimate form, there is opportunity for interested parties to join one of our focus group meetings in the coming weeks. We have enjoyed a good level of community engagement so far and would welcome further interaction. For the broad community, we will hold an ‘in person’ session at 6.00pm on Tuesday 17 May (before the Parents’ Association Meeting at 7.00pm) in Arnold Hall. We will hold an online version at 7.30am on Thursday 26 May. We ask those wishing to attend either session to register with Gayle Barry at barryg@trinity.vic.edu.au

Mother’s Day in the ELC
Celebrations showcase our traditions, our family heritage and events or occasions that are important to individuals and groups.
In the ELC we spend time creating and promoting a sense of belonging, sharing about ourselves and our families. Through conversations, our students create connections and a sense of community as well learn and discover together and experience new and exciting celebrations.
Simple celebrations can be baking and cooking at home, or party celebrations that your family have, it may be holidays away through to cultural celebrations.
The event itself is important but so too are the preparations and discussions surrounding the event.
Over the week we had been eagerly preparing for our mums to come to the ELC for afternoon tea. Gifts were created and wrapped and cards made. We shared many stories about our mums. We have had lovely connections with the students about their mums. It is obvious how many hats our mums wear. Some students thought of the best things their mums did and we handed out the awards accordingly. From ‘best spaghetti bolognaise’ to ‘best suitcase packer’! Others shared how much they loved their mum. “I love my mum because she gives the best cuddles.”
Our Trinity gardening team and Mr Molinaro helped the students prepare the soil, dig the holes and carefully plant cyclamen plants in our planter barrels to create a welcoming space for our mums.
Thank you to all the mums for making the special effort to come into our ELC and share a beautiful afternoon together. It was wonderful to see all the smiles, and see the students enjoy sharing their learning environment with their mums.

Trinity-Ruyton Buddy Day and Cocurricular Activities return to the Junior School
In the Junior School we are celebrating another milestone on the road towards normality, with the resumption of our buddy program with Ruyton and the cocurricular program. These opportunities enable rich learning to be taking place while students are developing new friendships and seeing their peers in a different setting.
Staff across the two schools have been working hard to prepare for the Trinity – Ruyton buddy program, which was a resounding success. Students were involved in sporting activities, gardening, design activities and many more. There was much laughter and fun to be had as new friendships were formed and familial links celebrated.
The cocurricular program enables students to engage with their passions, or try something completely new in a fun and supportive environment. Students are encouraged to explore, create, be active, think creatively and strategically, and perhaps most importantly, just have a go. There was a great deal of enthusiasm in the sessions this week.

Intersections – Daley Gallery
Open Daily 8.00am – 4.00pm
Intersections is an exhibition of artworks by Indigenous artists from the Trinity collection, brought together for the first time. Intersections references the places or experiences where students begin to understand shared cultural practice, a place that challenges assumptions and promotes the exchange of ideas and beliefs. These works have entered the collection in different ways, some by donation, others as commissions through the Artist in Residence program and most recently by acquisition with the assistance of the Trinity Parents Association.
In 2021 an Indigenous collection policy and advisory group was established to begin the process of building a more cohesive teaching collection. The artists and their work extend the curriculum, becoming the Indigenous voice in the classroom. These artworks are a symbol of reconciliation and provide a cultural reference for the Indigenous students in the Dadirri Program, seeing their culture represented and valued within the school.

Senior School Play – ‘Lanny’
The Senior School School Play Lanny was performed over four nights to enthusiastic, if mystified, crowds.
As they entered the gloomy hall they were greeted with a pair of glowing, over-the-ear headphones, and began their adventure into Max Porter’s tale of mystery, gothic horror and suspense. This Senior School Play was a world premiere, adapted by Remy Prichard and featured the first immersive headphone performance for the Senior School Play.
Much of the show was passed to the students who rose to the occasion with sophistication and professionalism. Dex Kelly and Ella Callow-Sussex led the performers, with Oscar Liu in charge of the production team, all of whom added to a positive, creative and joyful endeavour.
With over 40 students involved, it was truly an ensemble performance where every cast and crew member supported the creative project.
Year 9 Play – ‘Radium Girls’
This year, the Year 9s were able to put on a magnificent rendition of the emotionally moving show, ‘Radium Girls’! The amazing cast consisted of many rising Year 9 stars at Trinity and Ruyton who worked incredibly well together. In addition, an incredibly experienced cross-age crew consisting of those from Trinity and Ruyton Year 9 to 12 was chosen to assist the cast in their stunning performance skills.
Radium Girls is a long show and it is incredibly difficult to put on in a short amount of time, however, this year’s stars are among the best so they absolutely rocked the show. Through the many long Monday afterschool and Saturday rehearsals and many sessions of blocking, the cast and crew managed to establish an amazing show for the final Ruyton/Trinity Drama performance at Ruyton’s Royce Theatre before it is demolished for a new performance centre.
Thank you to all students who were a part of this production!

Students involved in the AMOC Mathematics Olympiad Programs
Congratulations to Matthew Lo (Year 9) and Eason Yang (Year 9) who have been invited to take part in the Mathematics Olympiad programs run by the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee (AMOC).
Both students attended and completed the invitation-only virtual weeklong AMOC Training School, and now have been invited to participate in the Expanded Mentor Program. Their mentors are talented mathematicians and former Mathematics Olympians who will assist them to train for the AMOC Senior Contest.
This contest will be used to select the Seniors and some Intermediates for the 2022 AMOC School of Excellence, which is an important step in the pathway to representing Australia at such international events as the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Matthew Lo has qualified for the Junior Division and will be mentored by Andy Tran, while Eason Yang has qualified for the Intermediate Division and will be mentored by Grace He.
We wish Matthew and Eason every success as they progress through the Mathematics Olympiad Programs.
Kangourou sans Frontières Competition (KSF)
This is the second year that students from our school participated in the Kangourou sans Frontières. It was pleasing to note that 65 Years 3-10 students volunteered to participate (14 students from the Junior School and 51 students from the Senior School).
This competition was started in 1991 in France by two French teachers who were inspired by the format of the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC). They called this competition the ‘Kangaroo’ to pay tribute to their Australian colleagues and it became so successful around the world that it is now known as Kangourou sans Frontières (KSF), meaning ‘Kangaroo without borders’.
By participating in this competition students are exposed to interesting math problems which are set by internationally-renowned mathematics educators and at the same time help them to improve their mathematical problem-solving skills.
Congratulations to the following students for their achievements in this international competition.

Bebras – Computational Thinking Challenge – Round 1
The Bebras is an international competition which was started in 2004 by Professor Valentina Dagiene from the University of Vilnius. ‘Bebras’ is Lithuanian for beaver. This refers to their collaborative nature and strong work ethic.
Students can participate individually or in teams of up to four and to engage in computational thinking which involves integrating strategies such as organising data logically; breaking down problems into parts; interpreting patterns and models; and designing and implementing algorithms.
A special mention and congratulations to David Wang (Year 4) and Thomas Chan (Year 9) for achieving a perfect score of 135 and who are now eligible for a place on the Bebras Honour Roll on the Bebras website.
Congratulations to the following students for their achievements in this international competition.

Da Vinci Decathalon
On Tuesday and Thursday last week, selected students from Years 7, 8 and 9 represented Trinity in the Da Vinci Decathlon, a full-day event in which teams address challenges in 10 different areas including Maths, Engineering, Art and Poetry, Drama, Code-Breaking and more.
Each set of challenges is extremely difficult, and the boys found them fascinating and engaging, preparing responses that were creative and knowledgeable.
Although the results are not yet known, all boys are to be congratulated on their application to the tasks and the way in which they represented Trinity in the joy of academic challenge.

A day at the opera
A lucky group of our Senior School Choir and singing students were invited to attend a dress rehearsal of Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece, La Traviata. Sung in Italian, audience members were provided with projected surtitles in English translation.
This production at the State Theatre, presented by Opera Australia, was a feast to the eyes and ears of our students!

Chaplain’s Chat
You are loved.
Mother’s Day helps us stop to reflect on the significance of our mothers in our lives. Nothing is more precious in life than the love of your mother. It is the source of all energy that lays the foundation to meet what life presents us.
The thing that sets a mother’s role in the family apart from everyone else is her everlasting love for her children and her intent that they lead happy lives. She puts ahead of anything else the rights and needs of her child and will work and fight tirelessly towards the best possible result for them.
Yesterday was my first Mother’s Day without my mother. She went to the Lord last July. The day was filled with great joy and happiness celebrating the lives of all the mothers in my blessed family but also a touch of sadness as I sifted through the photos and recalled the memories and experiences I had with the greatest person in my life. My mum was the best. No one could ever love me as much as my mother. Some people say the older you become the more you think about your mother. I think this is true.
Another great strength in my life has been Mary. My compassion and love for people was a seed planted in me from an early age learning about the mother of Jesus in the Scriptures. Jesus was a kind and compassionate man. His strength in life was his mother’s love. How any mother could watch her Son be crucified on a cross is a pain I could never face. However, in a world of suffering and in my own personal struggles, it is Mary I turn to for healing. I believe praying to Mary we can endure anything. The Mother of God will always give you the strength you need.
Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you had a ripper. Remember you are always loved.

Director of Outreach and Assistant Chaplain
Community Engagement
Term 2 has begun with a flurry of community events and activities. First and foremost were the two Mother’s Day breakfasts for Junior School and Year 7. These annual events are organised by the Class Reps and volunteers and are always a beautiful occasion for boys and their mums and special friends. Sincere thanks to everyone who helped to realise this occasion.
By now some of you will have received a parent name badge that has been distributed via school and PA social events. This rollout is a gradual process and we aim for everyone to have their badge by the end of the term. Junior School families who have not yet received theirs will have them distributed via their son’s school bag next week. Keep an eye out for a Connect notification as to the exact day. Thank you to Melissa Gallace and Lisa Williams for assisting with this project and distribution.
Finally, the Trinity Green and Gold Ball on 21 May is a sell-out event. Thank you to the Committee for their wonderful work to make this happen after a two-year COVID hiatus. There will be a silent auction in the lead up to the event so please keep an eye out for a great opportunity to pick up some fabulous prizes. If you would like to contribute and promote your business, there is still time to donate a prize. Please contact us at communityengagement@trinity.vic.edu.au for the details.

Uniform Shop News
Donations
The Uniform Shop has some extra opening days for Term 3 and 4. Please refer to Trinity Connect for the update. As always, we are very appreciative of your continued support in the way of secondhand uniforms. We have had a very busy start to Term 2, therefore we are running low on Senior School winter shirts and pants. Please take a look through your son’s wardrobe and see if there is anything that no longer fits. If so, we are more than happy to take it off your hands! We have two drop off locations – Reception during opening hours or bring your goodies direct to the Uniform Shop. If we are not open, there is a “drop box” on the verandah.
Please note our location is 62 Charles Street.
Volunteers
If you are interested in joining our friendly team, please email Annette Dal Sasso annettedalsasso@gmail.com. We have a lot of fun and it’s a great way of connecting with other parents, grandparents or guardians.
Students
Please let your boys know that they are welcome in the shop anytime and do not always require a parent to shop for them.
Payment
Please note that for the safety of our volunteers, we do not hold any cash on the premises. We only accept credit card as a form of payment.
