Dear Parents, Staff and students,
Last week we celebrated the Feast of theAssumption and Mass was celebrated atAuburn by Fr. Marcello Pamintuan who isthe uncle to our own Mr Pamintuan. Masswas also celebrated at Regents Park by FrThomas, and Fr Ray is a regular at ourschool celebrating our weekly Mass on
Tuesday mornings in our chapel. We are very blessed to havethe support of our local priests who work closely with us toprovide our students with the opportunity to celebrate theEucharist on a regular basis but the school is only partlyresponsible for faith formation of our young people, I warmlyencourage parents to provide your children with the weeklyopportunity to attend Mass as a family.
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates thedeath of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven before
her body could begin to decay. Because it signifies the BlessedVirgin's passing into eternal life, it is the most important of allMarian feasts and a Holy Day of Obligation.
Student Leadership Year 12 2018
Last term Mr Sullivan, Miss Khoury andMr Boidin led a powerful presentation aspart of our leadership selection process forschool leaders in 2018. In this presentation,students are presented with an explanationof servant leadership and the qualities that need to be identifiedin student leaders and the legacy they will leave as a year groupwhen they finish their final year at Trinity in 2019. Studentscompleted a voting process to identify those they feeldemonstrate leadership qualities. The staff of the college wasalso invited to complete a similar survey and from this, a shortlist of names was developed. Interviews are currently beingconducted and we will then prepare and present to the CollegeLeadership team for 2019. From there, students will beappointed to their leadership positions. Our Yr 11 students area wonderful group and they will make a wonderful contributionto the College as they assume their leadership positions in Term4.
