2 Newsletter 10, Week 9, Term 2 24 June 2016

Mr Beckett was born in country Western Australia where he spent his early years. His

family then moved to Perth and Justin attended Hale School, an Anglican school for boys.

Justin holds both Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees, a Graduate Diploma in

Education and is currently studying for a Masters in Business Administration. An educator

with 20 years’ experience, Justin has taught in regional WA as well as a number of co-

educational, independent schools in WA and Queensland.

Mr Beckett is committed to people-centred

leadership and has an unwavering optimism in

the ability of education to help young lives

attain excellence and purpose. Justin holds a

firm belief that schools are about community,

opportunity and hope; spaces where young

people reach their best and inspire one

another to achieve their goals and ambitions.

Justin Beckett, along with Zoe and their four

sons, is looking forward with anticipation to

this opportunity. He is currently the Head of

Senior School at St Stephen’s College in Perth,

WA and is excited to lead Trinity to reach our

aspirational potential.

Justin plans to be at Trinity to meet our community during Term 4, and Council will

organise a welcome forum for that time.

Chair of Council

Trinity Anglican College Albury Wodonga

Exciting news about Mr Beckett and I am delighted that I get to stay until the end of the year! I wish you all a happy and safe term break.

Susan Shaw Principal

From the Principal


It has been my pleasure this term to have witnessed many Trinity students excel in different areas, be it academic, sport, performance, cultural or community. The success of our students has always made me immensely proud. The way our students represent themselves, the College and the wider Albury-Wodonga community is first rate. Many students received awards at our final assemblies today; these awards acknowledge the way these students have approached their studies and commitment to other College-based activities throughout the term. Well done! I hope all of our students enjoy a restful and safe term break, although Year 12 need to not be as restful as the others. I hope students from Prep/Kinder – Year 10 heed the advice they have been given by their teachers to ensure they return in Semester 2 with enthusiasm and with the goal of making the second half of the year one of which they can all be proud.

Peter O’Neill Deputy Principal

Year 8 and Year 10 Subject Information Evenings & Year 12 Trial HSC Exams

Parents of Year 10 Students: I am sure that our Year 10 students are excited by the

prospect of selecting subjects that capture their interests, enhance their skills and assist

them to pursue a pathway beyond school. This is a reminder that the Subject Information

Evening for Year 11 2017 is taking place early in Term 3 on Monday, 25 July from 7pm in

the Senior School Building. Year 10 students are looking forward to putting their

questions to the many teachers who will be there and have been briefed on the subjects

offered and the processes involved. They have access to an online information booklet

that will assist them in making this important set of decisions. The students will record

their preferences via an online platform and have had the mechanics of this process

outlined to them. It will be great to see as many parents as possible on the night.

Parents of Year 8 Students: Year 8 students have the opportunity to have their questions

about Year 9 subject choices answered at the Year 9, 2017 Subject Information Evening

from 7pm Tuesday 9 August in the Senior School Building. The students have enjoyed

experiences across many different subjects over the last two years and this is their first

From the Deputy Principal

From the Director of Studies


opportunity to pursue their interests in the choice of elective subjects. Parents are most

cordially invited to attend the evening with their son or daughter and talk to teachers who

will be keen to provide information about their specialist subjects.

Year 12 Trial HSC Exams: The focus of our Year 12 students is firmly on the Trial

Examination which commences Monday 8 August and concludes Wednesday 17 August.

For all students, these exams figure as significant assessment items that will assist in

determining the assessment component of their final HSC mark. The students are busy

honing their study schedule in order to maximise their results in this important set of

exams. The Trial Examination timetable will be distributed to students early in Term 3.

Year 10-12 Assessment Tasks: Students in Years 10-12 are, generally, engaging with their

continued assessment program in a positive and committed fashion. The momentum

created by the assessment program is powerful and it is important to maintain focus.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind students and parents that direct parental

contact is required if a student is unable to submit or undertake an assessment task. The

College understands that illness or misadventure can occur and we have a firm set of

procedures to follow in such instances.

Certainly, in instances of assessment tasks being missed due to planned absences,

students should make contact with me well before the due date so that arrangements can

be made. Failure to do this can incur mark penalties. This is clearly outlined in the

assessment policy documents distributed to students at the outset of the year.

Semester 1 Reports: Kindergarten and Prep to Year 10: Semester 1 reports will be

distributed to students by their classroom teachers (for students in infants and primary

school years) or pastoral care tutors (for students in Years 7-10), on Friday 24 June. These

reports reflect the students’ academic performance across most subject areas, for the past

semester. Classroom teachers and pastoral care tutors also provide broad information on

students’ development in the pastoral care reports.

If you have any queries about any of the matters outlined above, please contact Ms Kym

Armstrong at the College.

Positive Education over the Holidays with PERMA

Source: https://positivepsychologyprogram.com/perma-model/

Positive Emotions: Spend time over the break living in the now. Smiling and laughing

are contagious! Do something over the holidays that you enjoy, makes you smile and

encourages positive emotion!

Engagement: Find an activity over the holidays that you love, something that makes

you thrive and increases your self-confidence.

Relationships: Surround yourself with people that you like, admire and enjoy their

company. Spend time socialising over the break.

Meaningful: These holidays think beyond yourself and spend time doing something

that you value. Examples include: spending time with your family, community group or at

your church.

Accomplishment: Set yourself some realistic goals for over the break. Recognise your

strengths, and set yourself up for a successful three weeks away from school!

The Education community was saddened to hear of the tragic death of a young person late

last week. As we approach the three week break, please be mindful of the well-being and

mental health of our young people. If you require support, the following services can be

contacted:

Angela Lum Director of Pastoral Care

As we head to the break it is always a good time to reflect on the Semester. Trinity, like

many educational institutions, has at its core the student and their learning. This can take

many different forms for each individual. The educational research that seems to be at the

forefront of much of our thinking points to the “effect size” of different approaches to

learning. The compilation of much research by John Hattie and associates has been part of

an ongoing debate. Still at the top of all effect lists is “students self-reporting of grades”.

This means the ability of a student to understand their learning and how they perceive

their abilities as they approach a particular task or unit of work. To this end the feedback

to students must be continuous and considered. So, as we approach the reading of reports

it is important to recognise the individual student’s understanding of their expectations of

self and their co-hort. A percentage, grade, mark or critical analysis should never be seen

out of context and the picture needs to be painted by the student for the outcome to

make sense and lead to improvement. In the day to day learning both in the classroom

and beyond the important aspects of enrichment, engagement and extension still sit at

the centre of any model. This also assumes we are enabling resilient learners. These are

the students who are not afraid to make mistakes when confronting something new; the

ones who have thrown away the eraser as they are willing to dive into new knowledge

pools that require different skills and are quite accepting of the set-backs that can occur.

So as we rest, renew and prepare for second semester, try something new, something that

may challenge you and return energised and ready to extend your thinking.

CIS Cross Country: A large contingent of students travelled to Eastern Creek for this event

under the stewardship of Mr Thurling. All competitors made every effort and were very

supportive of their team mates as well as other competitors. Tyra Murray made it through

to the State level with an outstanding performance.

Creative Pursuits: The extensive program completes the second term next week. The

students approached the activities in a positive manner and have learnt many new skills

From the Junior School


and have been confronted by new challenges. This is a large undertaking and the support

of all staff and students is appreciated.

Public Speaking: Congratulations to all students who availed themselves of this

opportunity. It was a pleasure for all to listen to the finalists from the Albury Campus.

There were many outstanding aspects to each speech and the preparation was very

evident. The following students will be part of the College Final: Tamsyn Vanderhoek, Zalia

Kelly, Sam Vaccaro, Tyra Murray, Max Neave, Ariel Halford, Ella Brown, Hamish Darmody,

Christina Halford and Cruze Hassgall.

Visit by Principals from the Anglican Schools Commission

Last week our Campus welcomed approximately thirty Principals and Chairs from the

Anglican Schools Commission. They enjoyed a tour of the Campus, and spoke with

students and joined them in enjoying a hot lunch of homemade sausage rolls supplied

through our dedicated team of parent volunteers. The ASC group took the opportunity to

visit classrooms and speak with teachers. The visiting Principals and Chairs were impressed

with our beautiful campus, our respectful and friendly students, our dedicated teachers

and the wonderful hospitality and excellent culinary skills of our parent body! Well done

to all involved.

Junior Public Speaking Finalists

Year 6W Transition to the Senior School Program

Friday last, saw the Year 6s participate in the first of their visits designed to introduce

them to the Senior School and therefore make their transition to high school seamless.

The students visited many of the classrooms and areas they engaged with and met a

number of staff who will be part of their Year 7 experience. Further visits to come,

including Step-Up to Senior School Day on Thursday, 25 August, 2016.

SSV Winter Sport

SSV Winter Sport will continue for the start of Term 3, with a Sports Gala Day to be held on

Friday 29 July at Willow Park. Students will travel to Willow Park by bus and be

accompanied by a member of staff.

Can I express gratitude to all the parents who have assisted with SSV Winter Sport in

whatever capacity but particularly to those who took on the umpiring duties. It is very

much appreciated and we recognise and value the work that has been done.

French Café

What an afternoon Years 3-6 had last Monday, 20 June! Students set up their “cafés” in

the hall adorned with French signs and menus. They bought and sold beautiful French

baked goods from apple tarts to profiteroles, cakes to éclairs, with many a “s’il nous plaît”

and a “merci”. To all the wonderful students and parents who worked so hard to bring the

French Café to life, a very heartfelt “merci”. A very successful afternoon’s buying and

selling also brought in a sizeable donation to the Salvation Army, which is being counted as

this goes to press. To the lovely students of Wodonga, thank you for making me feel so

welcome during my time teaching years 3-6. I will be teaching at Albury two days a week

for the rest of the year and will look forward to seeing any of my Wodonga students who

visit. Warm wishes to my colleagues and students at the incomparable Wodonga campus.

Sport Report

Paul Kelly Cup Regional Final

Sixteen very excited footballers made their way to Robertson Oval in Wagga, for the

Riverina Regional Paul Kelly Cup. Trinity were first cab off the rank against Mater

Dei. We went into the game knowing it was going to be a tough game. Mater Dei

From the Director of Sport & Co-curricular


kicked the first goal of the game and had us on the back foot early. Through the

strong efforts of Fergus Edwards, who played like a man possessed all day, and Seb

Sproule who was working hard in the ruck, we kicked back with a goal of our own.

Archer Chaston gave the team plenty of run and carry off the halfback flank to

create many opportunities for Trinity’s forwards. Kai Braddy and Blake Elliott were

able to finish off with some great goals. Sam Hovar showed plenty of speed around

the contest and finished off his fancy footwork with a couple of goals of his own. We

ran out strong winners in that match 53–32.

After watching our next opposition Deniliquin South PS, it was evident that it would

be another tough match. Ben Ferguson helped his rovers get first use with some great

ruck-work, which Khylan Wright and Ned Satchell just ate up. Toby White worked hard

around the ground and took some great grabs, dishing it off to some of our runners

in Zarlie Goldsworthy and George Flanagan. George continued some of his excellent

CIS form and made it look like there was three of him at times! Drew Brndusic took

some important marks of his own and finished off his hard-work with some great

goals. It was a wonderful team effort that saw us get the result we were after; winning

41-24.

Our final match saw us pitted against St Patrick’s Griffith. We went into this game with

much excitement, knowing a win in this game would see us through to the state final

on the SCG. It was a sluggish start, but our captain, Conor Willis got us on track with

the same desperation and desire that he had shown all day. Lachlan Elgin took a

number of big pack marks and propelled us forward on many occasions. Through a


fantastic collective effort, we again won, 48-20. This means the team will now head

to Sydney on 15 August to play at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

I would like to thank all the players for being great students of the game and playing

in the right spirit. I would also like to thank the parents for their support in driving the

players to the carnival and helping out during the day.

Jarrod Hillary (Coach)

CIS 15 Years AFL – State Champions

The NSW All Schools 15 Years and Under, Boys AFL Championships were held in Albury

starting on Tuesday, 7 June. The College was proudly represented in the Combined

Independent Schools (CIS) team by Darcy Harrington, Sam Cavanough and Mitchell Scott.

On Day 1, CIS were in the same pool as the very strong Combined Catholic South team and

played them first, going down 3-6-24 to 4-3-27. CIS followed this by an overwhelming win

over South Coast CHS 17-3-105 to 1-2-8.

There was a cross-over of pools for the first game of Day 2. CIS had a very strong win over

Northern NSW 8-10-58 to 1-3-9. However, through a twist of fate, Riverina Murray CHS

reversed its form from Day 1 to defeat Riverina SW CHS by a bigger margin, so the best two

teams were set up to face each other in the semi-final, prompting a slight change in the

rules for the future. Combined Catholic South were just a bit better again to defeat CIS 5-7-

37 to 4-2-26.

On the final day of competition, CIS

played off for third and fourth with

Combined Catholic North. CIS were

far too strong for them, winning 5-

10-40 to 0-4-4. Combined Catholic

South went on to win the

Championships. Congratulations to

all CIS players, coach Matt Bedford,

assistant coach Mark Dicketts, and

team manager Daniel Gardner on a

good performance.


Year 5&6 Hoop Time Basketball Tournament – Girls

Trinity is entering into an exciting phase in the College Basketball program. Our first Year

5/6 girl’s representative basketball team participated in the ‘Hoop Time’, Basketball

Victoria development carnival on Tuesday, 14 June at the Wodonga Sports and Leisure

Centre.

The College team began training four weeks ago, each Monday afternoon. This opportunity

allowed all team members to learn about each other and to train hard in preparation for

the carnival. The day was a great occasion for the girls to learn about what it means to play

basketball at a representative level, the importance of a positive attitude as well as showing

total commitment both on and off the court.

The team learnt a lot from this experience and played very well to place runners-up to an

extremely strong St Monica’s team. The day was a massive success with the girls looking

forward to playing again next year. Thank you to Griffin Sowden (Year 9) for helping to score

on the day.

Renee Vanegmond (Coach)

Year 5&6 Hoop Time Basketball Tournament – Boys

The following boys represented the College at the Wodonga based ‘Hoop Time’ on

Tuesday, 14 June: Sebastian Sproule, George Flanagan, Drew Brndusic, Will Roberts, Ben

Ferguson, Toby White, Conor Willis, Fergus Edwards and Fletcher Clarke.

The boys showed enthusiasm and endeavour in the pool games, easily accounting for St

Monica’s #3, Wodonga Primary School #2, and St Monica’s #4. They were narrowly beaten

in a cross-over game against St Monica’s #1. Despite the loss, the boys finished on the top

of their pool. This set up a semi-final game against Wodonga Primary School #1. This game

saw the teams start off by trading goals in the first five minutes. Gradually, the Trinity team

pulled away to a commanding lead and set a Grand Final appearance against a strong

St Monica’s #1 side.

In the grand final game, St Monica’s started fast, scoring the first seven points and held this

lead into the half-time break. The Trinity side put up a great fight, although, turnovers and

missed shots close to goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Thank you Alex Jacobs (Year 9) for helping to score on the day. Thank you also to the many

parents who supported the boys on the day. Lastly, congratulations to all the boys for their

outstanding sportsmanship, positive attitude, effort and enthusiasm.

Adam Graham (Coach)


Victorian College Championships – Basketball; Year 7/8 Girls and Boys

Tuesday, 14 June was a very busy day for the College Basketball program. Trinity was also

represented by a group of enthusiastic Year 7 and 8 boys and girls in the Victorian College

Championships regional round at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

The extremely early start did not deter the eagerness of these students, with tip off

scheduled for 10am. Mr O’Neill took charge of our boys’ team, who contested the Year 7/8,

Division 2 competition and Alisha Fielder, College parent coached our Division 1 Girls’ team.

The girls, who were undermanned came up against a strong team from Williamstown High

School #1, initially going down by 12. As the day progressed the team gelled, but

unfortunately went down in their following two games. In their Semi Final, they came up

against eventual winner Williamstown High School #1. The final result demonstrated the

team’s improvement throughout the day.

The versatility of Mr O’Neill’s coaching capacity was again on display, bringing this team of

boys together. In their first match, against the Elwood Lakers, the boys had an 11 point

victory. Their following two pool matches resulted in them being outplayed by

Huntingtower and Elwood Lakers. The boys unfortunately did not proceed any further,

missing out on the Semi Finals.

A big thank you must go to Mrs Fielder and the supportive parents who assisted with

transporting our two College teams.

CIS Cross Country – Primary and Secondary

The CIS Cross Country Championships for Primary and Secondary students was held last

Thursday, 16 June at the Eastern Creek Raceway circuit. A record number of Trinity

students participated in the events throughout the day.

The day consisted of a very positive environment with students cheering on their Trinity

friends and RAS team mates alike. All students performed admirably against the very best

competition from across the State.

Tyra Murray, Year 4 was the performer of the day finishing fifth in her age group which earns

her a spot in the CIS Team to compete again at the same location on Friday, 22 July 2016 in

the NSW AllSchools Competition. Congratulations to all students for their wonderful effort,

spirit and behaviour.

Last Wednesday night, both the SECOA and ECOA groups headed out of town for an

evening of exploration and spotlighting. We made our way to the Granya State Park,

where we explored the Scout Hut while waiting for night fall. On dark, we headed to the

Talgarno Flora and Fauna Reserve spending the next hour spotlighting and inspecting a

reptile monitoring stations. Six possums were spotted in their natural habitat along with a

lizard. Thank-you to all the parents who attended, but we’d especially like to thank Dr

Damian Michael for sharing his expertise and guiding us through the reserve.

Next term, SECOA will start with an alpine focus, as we have tentatively planned for a day

of cross-country skiing on Saturday 6 August. Places will be limited and students wanting

to participate will need to attend the fitness sessions in the weeks leading up to this on

Wednesdays in Week 2 and 3. Week 2 will also be our first session for the term. Further

details on this trip will be available next term.

There will also be many tree planting opportunities in early Term 3, both near the College

and in the wider community. Again more details will be available next term.
