Trinity Anglican College Albury-Wodonga

What does it mean to go without a safe and secure place to sleep?

Last Thursday, our Year 11 students explored this question during this year’s Winter Sleepout, spending a night on campus to gain a greater understanding of the experiences of people facing homelessness in our community.

Students set up their own sleeping areas using sleeping bags, cardboard and tarps before sharing dinner around the fire and hearing from Serena from Yes-Unlimited about homelessness in the Albury-Wodonga region. They also watched a documentary featuring first-hand stories of homelessness across Australia, providing plenty of opportunity for discussion and reflection.

The following day, our wider College community got behind the cause with Flannelette Friday. Thanks to the generosity of our students and families, more than $650 was raised, along with a trailer load of non-perishable food donated to Carevan and Foodshare.

A wonderful effort from our Year 11 students, who showed empathy, compassion and a genuine willingness to learn more about an issue affecting people in our own community.

Thank you to our staff for supporting the students throughout the initiative, and joining them for the sleepout, and Border Markets and Locky’s Countryside Meats for their generous support.

What an incredible achievement by our Junior School students in their production of Dare to Dream JR.!

Across three performances, more than 70 students took to the stage, including 15 lead performers. Their confidence, talent and commitment were exceptional, with the quality of the vocal performances and harmonies a real highlight. It was wonderful to see our students step outside their comfort zones, support one another and shine on stage. A huge congratulations to every student involved. Your hard work, courage and enthusiasm made this production such a special experience and one we are incredibly proud of!

Behind every great production is a dedicated team, and we extend our sincere thanks to Mr Mitch Clarke, Mrs Eleanor Pearson, Mrs Genevieve Turnbull, Mrs Sam Bellerose, Mrs Louise Phegan, Ms Michelle Revelant and Mrs Olivia Walsh, whose planning, creativity and countless hours of preparation, casting and rehearsals helped bring Dare to Dream JR. to life.

We also thank the many staff and senior students who supported rehearsals and performances, with particular appreciation to Mrs Sarah Culligan, Mr Jarryd Thurling, Charlie McCormack, Georgia Wilson, Alex Neave, Duncan Webster and Mannat Bhuller for their outstanding contributions.

And finally, thank you to our wonderful sponsors, Vinnova Dental, Ozzy Tyres Albury and Adrian and Leanne Johnson, for their generous support of our students and the performing arts at Trinity.

What a fantastic celebration of talent, confidence and creativity. Well done to everyone involved!

With our Book Week Parade later this week, we’re taking a look back at some of the wonderful costumes, characters and creativity from years gone by!

From much-loved storybook characters to some seriously imaginative creations, our Book Week Parade is always a highlight of the year.

We can’t wait to see where this year’s stories take us!

What a fantastic day on the snow!
On Friday 7 August, Trinity students headed to the Nordic Bowl at Falls Creek for the annual Winter Biathlon. With perfect conditions, plenty of friendly competition and lots of laughs, it was a great opportunity for students to put their cross-country skiing skills to the test.

Students worked on their skiing technique before tackling target shooting, relay changeovers, race starts and course manoeuvres. They then put it all together in the relay-style heats and finals.

Congratulations to Markus Bartels and Oskar Clark (Year 9), who took out gold in the male competition!
A huge well done to all our students who represented Trinity with determination, teamwork and plenty of school spirit. A special thanks to Mr Dicketts and Mrs Munro for joining the students and helping make it such a great day!

If you happened to be out and about in Dean Street this morning, you may have heard these three boys rocking out some tunes!

Oscar, Ewan and Archie set up to busk and raise money to support people experiencing homelessness, following our Year 11 students’ Winter Sleepout last night.

A fantastic way to put their musical talents to good use and support an important cause. Well done, boys!

Trinity has brought home the Annual Rob James Trinity vs Scots Challenge Trophy after two fantastic days of competition across our Junior and Senior Schools!

Our teams showed plenty of skill, determination and teamwork, winning an impressive 8 of 10 games across the two days. 👏

A special congratulations to our U16 Boys, who set the gold standard with a fantastic win on the court, while also taking on the important roles of refereeing and score benching throughout the challenge. What a fantastic all-round team effort!

We’re grateful to Scots for another fantastic Challenge and for the great sportsmanship and camaraderie shown throughout the two days. We look forward to continuing this wonderful tradition for years to come.

Well done to all our students who competed, supported their teammates and represented Trinity with pride. More to come in the next newsletter!
