Dear Parents and Carers

HOLY WEEK

This Sunday we begin the most important time in the Church’s liturgical calendar. Holy Week begins with Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It was a celebration but the mood changes this week and by today, Holy Thursday, the Easter Triduum begins with the memory of the Lord’s Supper, the night before Jesus died. On Easter Sunday, we will celebrate Jesus’ passage from death to new life. It is a time for each of us to be awakened to the presence of God in our lives and become messengers of hope, peace, kindness and mercy. Tomorrow students will experience a Passion Play prayer service to mark the beginning of Holy Week.

STAFFING UPDATE

Mrs Ingrid Parsons and Mr Colin Groves will be taking long service leave in Term 2. We wish them both a very happy and well-deserved rest. Mrs Morgan will be relieving in Mrs Parson’s positon whilst she is on leave.

Thank you to Mrs Linda Polosak who has been Teacher Librarian over the last nine months. I think we are finally allowing her to retire this time. Mrs Polosak will come back to visit us as a relief teacher in the Library. Next term, we welcome Mrs Raylene Neville to the role of teacher Librarian.

Thank you to Mrs Alana Chinnery for her service to the Trinity community in her role as a classroom support assistant. Mrs Chinnery has worked in our community over the last 12 month very capably supporting our students and teachers.

The College should be notified of any foreseen student leave. An Application for Exemption Form is available from the College Office and is required to be completed by parents/carers and returned to the College at least 10 school days prior to any leave. Leave or travel over 10 days requires a different form; please contact Reception. If, during the period of leave, your child has assessments due they should also complete the Notification of Planned Absence form which is in the appendix of their student assessment handbook.

When your child needs to leave School early, please make sure they complete the following steps:

1. A written note signed from their parent/carer. This note can be made in the Student diary on the day of the planned absence, or on a separate piece of paper.

2. The student then takes the note to Homeroom and asks their Homeroom teachers to sign it.

3. The note must also be signed by a House Coordinator. 

4. The student comes to the front office with their signed note.

5. Front office staff assist student to sign out.

6. Students wait for parent/carer to collect them.

Please note, parent or carer MUST present to the Office to collect student.

We love to hear about our students' achievements, so please feel free to send through any information about your child's achievements to info.tccg@cg.catholic.edu.au by Tuesday of each week. We look forward to hearing from you! Also, be sure to visit our facebook site!
