I’ve worked in various education sectors for over 15 years, with experience as both a teacher and a Learning and Teaching leader. My background is in science education, and I’m passionate about creating inclusive learning environments that are engaging and focused on helping young people flourish, both academically and personally.

What drew me to Trinity was its strong sense of connection and its commitment to educating the whole person. I look forward to working in partnership with students, families, and staff as we continue to build a culture of excellence, compassion, and faith in action.

Away from work, I treasure my time with my two children—whether we’re baking, gardening, or exploring rockpools along the coast. These everyday experiences remind me of the joy found in curiosity, connection, and slowing down—qualities that also enrich my work as an educator and leader.

I feel grateful to be stepping into this new chapter and am excited to get to know the Trinity community in the weeks and months ahead.

Warm regards,

Dr Lucy Cassar
Deputy Principal

Rehearsals for this year’s school production of Fame are in full swing! The talented cast and dedicated crew are working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this high-energy musical to life. With opening night set for August, anticipation is building. We’re excited to see the incredible work our students will showcase on stage!

Shows are on 13, 14 and 15 August – mark your calendars!

Tickets will be available soon – don’t miss out!

Throughout the exam weeks, students arrived prepared and conducted themselves with integrity and calm under pressure. Their positive attitude and responsible behaviour created an environment that was both productive and respectful—an achievement worth celebrating.

Our dedicated teaching staff worked diligently in marking the assessments. These results will be thoughtfully compiled and shared with families in the end-of-semester reports. These reports will provide valuable insights into each student’s progress and achievements so far this year.

We congratulate all students on their efforts and thank our teachers for their continued commitment to supporting student success.

The senior girls team consisted of Kiara (Year 11), Sienna (Year 12), Georgia (Year 11), Poppy (Year 11), Mia (Year 11), Rylee (Year 11), Tess (Year 11), Olivia (Year 12), Mia (Year 11), and Remy (Year 11).

The team was scheduled to play three games throughout the day, back-to-back, leaving no games off in between. In their first game of the day, they played Emmanuel College and although Trinity dominated the first few minutes, an injury to Kiara (Year 11) allowed Emmanuel to get back in the game. It was a tight contest for the remainder of the game, with neither team being able to pull away from the other. It was a draw or a 1-point margin for most of the game, and the final siren came at a lucky time for Emmanuel, giving them a 20-19 win.

The Trinity team had convincing wins in their second and third games. Completely in control at all times of both games. The girls displayed excellent netball to beat Horsham College 30-22 and then Ballarat High School 26-14. These results moved Trinity into the grand final, which would see a rematch between Trinity and Emmanuel.

From the first whistle, it was obvious that the Trinity team was out for redemption. Their netball found another level and their work rate overpowered Emmanuel, resulting in Trinity breaking the game open early. Trinity proved too strong all over the court, with the defenders constantly taking intercepts and the mids and goalers scoring freely. It was a physical game, but even when Emmanuel lifted to put in a last-ditch effort to try to bridge the gap, Trinity held strong, winning the game 24-19. This grand final win progresses the Trinity team through to the State Finals of the School Sport Victoria competition.

The state finals will be held later this year at the Waverly Netball Centre, and we are excited to see what they can achieve against the best netballers in our state.

Congratulations to all players involved. You produced excellent netball and were great representatives of our College.

Despite the intensity of the matches, our team only dropped one game to Emmanuel College, securing an impressive second place overall. Each game was highly contested, and the depth of our squad allowed for rolling substitutions with minimal disruption to our gameplay, highlighting the versatility and cohesion of our players.

The team demonstrated excellent teamwork, strategic play, and strong communication, making us proud of their efforts and sportsmanship. Special recognition goes to our Players of the Day:

Emmy (Year 10) – for her consistent performance and leadership on court.

Izzy (Year 10) – for her agility and sharp decision-making.

Harmony (Year 10) – for her defensive strength and relentless energy.

Congratulations to all players for a fantastic day of netball. Your hard work and team spirit truly shone through!

The Year 7 team started their day well against Beaufort SC, producing a comfortable 26-7 goal win. They faced Horsham College in round two, who challenged them at times, but the girls were able to maintain control and win that game 20-16. In the third round, they came up against Emmanuel College. Emmanuel was simply too tall, strong, and skilled across the whole court. The Trinity team put up a good fight, however, Emmanuel ran away with a 25-15 goal win. The Year 7’s bounced back and finished their day with a great 21-10 win against Timboon P-12 College, ending their day with 3 wins and 1 loss. These results placed them in second spot on the ladder, and therefore, they will not progress through to the next stage. The team produced excellent netball on the day and should be very proud of how they represented our College.

7A Team: Harriet, Milly, Ruby, Tahlia, Winnie, Nat, Jayla, Lexi and Norah.

The Trinity Year 8’s started their day with a game against Emmanuel College. Going into the day, they were considered to be our biggest competitor, however, the Trinity side displayed excellent netball to run away with a 29-19 goal win. They carried that form into round two against Horsham College, winning that game 20-14. Rounds three and four were much the same, with our Trinity side simply being too skilled and controlled for their opposition. They defeated Ballarat High School 21-6 and then Timboon P-12 College 27-16, leaving them undefeated at the end of the draw. This placed them on top of the ladder, and the team progresses through to the State Finals in Waverly later this year. The skill, experience and teamwork shown by these girls throughout the day were very impressive, and we are excited to see what they can accomplish at the State finals.

8A Team: Freya, Ebony, Lila, Livi, Stella, Georgia, Astin, Indie and Scarlett.

Congratulations to all players who participated on this day. You displayed great skill and character and did our College proud.
