Adrian Farrer
Principal
Junior School
Our commencement of Term 2 has enjoyed beautiful weather to help us settle into the routines of term life.
We welcome Tina Brancatsiano and Huw Jones to our Junior School team who will be involved in supporting classroom teachers across all year levels and Salam Caldis as our new Library Technician.
It was a united start on Wednesday when all students from ELC to Year 12 gathered for a whole school assembly to pause and reflect in honour of Anzac Day. Our student leaders were as diligent in their roles for the service as they were in role modelling connection with students across Junior and Senior School in a way that promotes a genuine sense of belonging.
As referenced in last week’s Welcome to Term 2 letter, students will have numerous opportunities to participate in a variety of cocurricular activities.
We look forward to supporting our students as they embrace new learning opportunities throughout this term.

Week 1
ANZAC Service
Our return to school marked our annual ANZAC Service held in the McIntyre Gym with all students from ELC-Year 12. As a school, we understand the importance of recognising and honouring the scarifies made by those who have served and continue to serve our country, especially past Trinity staff and students.
It was an honour to contribute during the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Kew RSL, where a small group of choir students, along with our School Captains lead the hymn during the service, laid a wreath and assisted in raising the Australian flag.
Uniform
