With many local exhibitors on-site, the Careers Expo offered something for every student, whether they were beginning to explore future possibilities or refining their post-school pathway. Year 9 and 10 students eagerly asked questions and gathered valuable insights into the many career options available within our region and beyond. Meanwhile, Year 11 and 12 students took full advantage of the opportunity to have more targeted conversations about apprenticeships and employment prospects.

Throughout the day, students demonstrated confidence and initiative in their conversations, and it was fantastic to see so many of them leaving inspired, informed and excited about the future.

We extend our thanks to MIXX FM for organising such a valuable event and to all the local businesses and organisations who generously gave their time to support and mentor our students. Opportunities like this strengthen the connection between education and the workforce and provide our students with an invaluable glimpse into the many paths available beyond the school gates.

Monday included visits to Alvie and St Brendan's Primary Schools, with these being the first performances for our Junior Students. While there were nerves, the students performed well, and their confidence grew over the week.

On Wednesday, we visited St Mary's and performed for Grade 3/4. This was the String Ensemble's first performance this year. Friday afternoon saw us all walk across to Sacred Heart, where we celebrated with staff and students by performing our favourite pieces for the week, including Star Wars, YMCA and Thriller for the Senior Group and 6 short pieces for the Junior Group. The String Ensemble also performed again with their two pieces.

These performances have built confidence, camaraderie and musical ability as well as showcased to the Community the amazing talent we have in the Trinity College Music Program. Students displayed all Trinity values while away and should be proud of their achievements and involvement this week.

The next music events for the College include the Warrnambool Eisteddfod on Tuesday 10 June for the Vocal Ensemble and Trios, followed by the Semester 1 Music Night on Wednesday 11 June with a 6pm start in the Jubilee Centre, all welcome.

On Wednesday 14 May, the Intermediate boys travelled to Blue Water Fitness to compete against Colac Secondary College (CSC). The game consisted of 4 x 8-minute quarters and the winner would progress to the next stage of the School Sport Victoria competition. The Trinity boys displayed controlled netball through the first and second quarters to lead comfortably at each break, however CSC lifted in the third quarter to win that quarter by one, before the Trinity team responded with a strong last quarter to secure a comfortable 16 goal win and progress through to the Greater Western Region competition.

Team members: Sid (Year 10), Jarvis (Year 10), Nate (Year 9), Levi (Year 9), Reece (Year 9), Jarryn (Year 9), Izaac (Year 10), Goanar (Year 10), Max (Year 10) and George (Year 10).

On Thursday 15 May, Trinity’s Intermediate and Senior Netball teams attended Central Reserve to participate in the Coastal Division tournament of the School Sport Victoria competition.

The Intermediate Red team played three games across the day and finished with two wins and one loss. They beat CSC in round 1 before going on to beat Lorne in round 2. They took good form into their third match against Trinity Blue (the other Intermediate team), however, Trinity Blue made better use of their opportunities, and Red went down in a hard-fought game.

Team members: Addy (Year 9), Isabelle (Year 9), Isla (Year 10), Olivia (Year 9), Remi (Year 10), Luella (Year 10), Jess (Year 10), Milah (Year 9), Ruby (Year 10) and Stella (Year 9).

The Intermediate Blue team was scheduled to play three games for the day and their skills and intensity were too strong for the other sides, resulting in them ending the day undefeated and therefore progressing through to the Greater Western Division Competition. Trinity Blue had a convincing win in their first game against CSC and an even stronger performance against Lorne. Trinity Red competed hard against them, but the Blue team were too strong in the end.

Team members: Jess (Year 10), Emmy (Year 10), Ashlin (Year 9), Harmony (Year 10), Izzy (Year 10), Molly (Year 9), Izzy (Year 10), Georgia (Year 9) and Stella (Year 10).

Trinity’s Senior team had two opponents on the day. In round 1, they asserted their dominance with a comfortable win against CSC before continuing that form against a hard-working Apollo Bay team. With those two wins, the Senior team progresses through to the next stage of the competition.

Team members: Olivia (Year 12), Remy (Year 11), Tess (Year 11), Rylee (Year 11), Georgia (Year 11), Mia (Year 11), Mia (Year 11), Poppy (Year 11), Sienna (Year 12), Kiara (Year 11) and Neve (Year 11).

At the end of the day, the Trinity Intermediate Blue and Senior teams played off in a practice match, and the game was played at a fierce intensity with an excellent level of skill shown. The Intermediate team ran away with the victory in the end, with their defence coming out on top of the senior attack end. The game showcased the talent of Trinity netball, and we look forward to seeing what both teams can accomplish as the year progresses.

The Trinity Intermediate team was scheduled to play three games across the day, with the first in the first round against Warracknabeal Secondary College. The Trinity team displayed excellent skills to get out to an early lead and remain in control for the entire game. Their pace and skill were too much for Warracknabeal, and the result was a comfortable 24-4 win to Trinity.

The second game of the day had them competing against Terang College, and once again their control, skill and intensity overpowered their opposition, leading to a decisive 26-7 win.

They went into the last game of the day against Ballarat High School in excellent form. Although Ballarat tried to compete, the Trinity team was too skilful. Trinity’s footwork and ball control were too good, and the team ended the day with another comprehensive 24-4 win.

The Trinity boys have been dedicated to learning the game and developing their skills through training and all that work showed on the court. Their clean footwork and skills, and the connections in transition from one end to the other, were far superior to any of their opponents, allowing them to finish the day undefeated and progress through to the State Finals of the School Sport Victoria competition. The boys should be very proud of their efforts and commitment, and we are very excited to see what this team can accomplish at the State finals.

Team members: Sid (Year 10), Nate (Year 9), Levi (Year 9), Reece (Year 9), Jarryn (Year 9), Izaac (Year 10), Goanar (Year 10), Max (Year 10) and George (Year 10).
