Dear Parents and/or Caregivers
ASH WEDNESDAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE LENTEN SEASON
Yesterday marked the beginning of the Lenten season. The Gospel for Ash Wednesday gives us good advice on how we are to act during Lent. Jesus speaks of the three main actions of the Lenten season: giving alms, praying and fasting. All of these spiritual activities, Jesus teaches us, are to be done without any desire to be recognised by others. Each of the actions are to be done out of love of our neighbour, not in order to be seen by others. Through the season of Lent we are preparing for the Risen Christ at Easter. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. The law of fasting binds those who have completed their eighteenth year until the beginning of their sixtieth year. The law of abstinence (no meat) binds those who have completed their fourteenth year. Please note meat will not be served in the Canteen on Fridays during Lent. Thank you to Mr Groves and Mrs Dorsett for preparing our Ash Wednesday Liturgy and thank you to Fr Joseph who was able to lead the service.
Amazingly we were able to have a formal College assembly for the first time since Term 2 last year. The Registration and School Improvement Panel were welcomed and able to experience ‘live music’ thanks to the Year 11 Music class who performed “Here Comes The Sun”. It was beautiful and we were Trinity again.
SHROVE TUESDAY
Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday. In most traditions, Shrove Tuesday is the day known for the eating of pancakes before the start of Lent. Pancakes are eaten as they are made of the main foods available: sugar, oil, flour and eggs. Generally, their consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent. Trinity celebrated Shrove Tuesday by sharing pancakes at breakfast on the Quad which was followed by the Annual Pancake Day Race across the MET Quad. This year it included an obstacle race which was great fun. There is still an ongoing dispute as to who won! As always, it was great to be in community. Thank you to Mrs Dorsett and Ms Suro, for organising this fun and delicious activity for our community. Thank you to the student leaders who assisted in cooking the pancakes.
WELCOME BBQ
Due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to hold our annual Welcome BBQ at the beginning of term. Instead, we will hold our Welcome BBQ on Thursday 7 April 2022 (in the last week of term). Further information will come to you closer to the event.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL
Our Annual General Meeting for the Community Council took place last week. Congratulations to Angela Remington and Rick Shipp who were unanimously elected as Chair and Vice Chair.
Happy weekend when it arrives!
Yours in faith, strength and unity,
Gaye McManus
Principal
Current Covid based restrictions do not enable students from the College to undertake general work experience. I will keep you informed of when the opportunity is available. The steps and documents required will also be outlined to support students to explore the world of work when restrictions allow.
CAREERS AT TRINITY CATHOLIC COLLEGE
Our school has a ‘School Careers Website’. You can find it at https://www.trinitycareers.com.au/
It’s a “One Stop Shop” for your child’s needs with their Career Planning, information, Senior School, Post School Options, Required Documents and much more.
Yr 10 - 12 students have been asked to create their own student accounts where they can create and save their resume, store their USI and plan and explore their transition to post school options. Yr 10 - 12 students are also receiving notifications of opportunities via a pastoral care Google Classroom page.
The site is also designed with you, the parent/caregiver in mind, to provide you with all the information you need about your child’s Career Planning and post school options as the information is constantly changing in these areas. I would encourage you to sign up to email notification on events that are happening via the Calendar of Events page across the state.
The Careers, Course and Scholarship widget on the home page also is a fantastic tool to explore potential options. The more students can research and explore options and interests the better placed they will be to make informed and positive decisions.
YEAR 12 2021 DESTINATION SURVEY
Yr 12 2021 Destination survey - let us know what you are up to! - If you are a Year 12 or know a Year 12 student from 2021 please encourage them to complete the destination survey.

Dear Parents,
RE: Upcoming Webinar for Parents - How to Get (and Keep) Your Child Motivated
We’re excited to announce that parents of our school have exclusive access to Elevate Education’s Parent Webinar Series this year. Elevate works with our students, delivering high impact workshops on study skills, motivation, wellbeing, and exam preparation. By tuning into their webinar series, you will learn how to better support your children at home through reinforcing the skills they learn at school.

How to Get (and Keep) Your Child Motivated
|
|
In How to Get (and Keep) Your Child Motivated, Elevate will provide you with the tips and tools for how to get (and keep!) your child motivated. Including:
- The causes of student demotivation;
- Specific goals that actually cause demotivation;
- How you can help your child set goals that will help them get (and stay) motivated;
- The role parents play in motivation.
I gave some feedback to my daughter’s school about how impressed I have been with the webinars - so much useful information and tips relating to education and also to life (love the KPI's reference, so true!) - Parent
I wanted to thank you for arranging access to last night's webinar. I thought it was very well presented and provided some great research behind the concepts covered. We have implemented a few small changes that will help the kids handle the stress of lockdown, school and our recent move. I have signed up for the March seminar and am looking forward to learning more about assessments. We really enjoyed the seminar! - Teacher
The webinar is run live online from 6pm – 7pm where the presenter will share Elevate’s key research and skills, and will conduct a live Q&A so you can ask them questions directly.
