Guests enjoyed a delightful spread of food, thoughtfully prepared and served with care. But above all, it was the company that made the morning truly special — a wonderful celebration of the love, strength, and kindness that mothers bring to our lives every day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so memorable.

Favourites such as Thriller , Viva La Vida , YMCA , and the 1812 Overture brought energy and excitement, while newer pieces like Wellerman , Imagine ,and Pirates of the Caribbean showcased the students’ adaptability and passion.

Spanning ages 10 to 18, the students embraced the chance to connect with peers from other schools, improve their musical skills, and celebrate their shared love of music in a fun and inspiring environment.

The next Music Workshop Day is scheduled for September in Apollo Bay.

The competition comprised seven intense rounds against the strongest chess players from schools in our region. In an impressive team effort, Trinity College tussled for position with Geelong Grammar and Ballarat High School all day. The final round decided the rank by a small margin, placing us 5th overall out of the eight competing teams.

Special congratulations go to our Chess Caption, Oliver (Year 12) for winning 6 of his 7 games against the top contenders. This placed him with two other players on 6 points, with the winner on 6.5 points. Oliver took the gold medal in the senior category and earned a place in the State Championships in October. Brent (Year 12) was our second-highest ranked player from Trinity.

We were proud to have taken a team representing a wide age range, comprising:

Year 12 - Oliver, Oscar, Keegan, Brent and Ryley

Year 10 - Henry

Year 8 - Leo

Year 7 – Lorenzo Zendric, Felix and Tarik

Our youngest players performed well despite their lack of experience at the Secondary level and their focus under pressure was outstanding. It is amazing to see the emerging talent at Trinity, which bodes well for the future of chess at our school.

This day was made possible due to the support of Ms Libby Ryan and Mrs Josie Barber, who provided support and encouragement throughout the day for all players.

Come along and try the Trinity Chess Club; it is open to all students, whether experienced or just curious to learn. Enjoy the game and be part of a supportive team growing in skill. Friendly competitions occur each Tuesday in the Resource Centre at Break 1.

Even though we only have one age group champion, there were many students who just missed out by seconds or a few minutes. The top eight competitors in each age group will have the opportunity to represent Trinity College and compete at the Greater Western Championships in Warrnambool on Monday 26 May.

We will hold off announcing which House has won the overall Cross Country until our next assembly.

What is happening at Trinity College?

Multiple events will be happening at Trinity to acknowledge World Environment Day and all that it stands for.

Prior to the day…

Students are invited and encouraged to participate in the competitions on offer and can contribute to the World Environment Day display in the Resource Centre.

For our major competition, students are encouraged to show their own actions towards ending global plastic pollution, in photo format, with an accompanying written explanation. All details are accessible to students on SIMON Daily Communicator and to parents on PAM. There are some fantastic, environmentally friendly reusable food containers and lunch items to win.

On the day, Thursday 5 June…

Trinity students and staff are asked to challenge themselves (and those at home) to bring food items on this day that are free of single-use plastics, helping to acknowledge our collective potential to make a big difference with little changes. Spot prizes to be won.

The Vocational Major class will host our Waste-Free Morning Tea by planning and facilitating an event for Year 12s and staff without any materials going to landfill.

The school will participate in a collective clean-up symbolising our commitment to shared action to support and respect our environment.

And of course, everyone can participate in World Environment Day outside of school, by taking any positive actions to help our environment. There is such a large variety of environmentally friendly ideas and credible resources on the internet. These can be as simple as ensuring all unused appliances are turned off, separating rubbish from recyclable materials or monitoring water usage around your house.
