Dear families and carers,

As we approach the end of week 2 there has been a lot happening in our classrooms this week. Our learners have set their final goals for 2024, the units of inquiry are continuing across the year levels and our year 6 students are engaged in their inqiroes and preparation for Exhibition. This week our Year 4 students have been preparing and presenting debates in class and it has been wonderful to see the collaboration and confidence of these learners. 

World Teachers' Day

Tomorrow we celebrate our fabulous teachers at Holy Trinity. On this special occasion of World Teachers' Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible teaching staff and professional staff at Holy Trinity. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering support shape the minds and futures of our students every day. Thank you for inspiring curiosity, fostering creativity, and nurturing a love for learning. We appreciate all that you do and are grateful for the positive impact you have on our community. Happy World Teachers' Day!

Daniel Morcombe Day

On Friday this week children are encouraged to wear a touch of red with their PE uniform (socks, hair ribbons etc.) No donation required. Throughout this week, children will participate in learning experiences aimed at building child safety awareness, both in physical environments and online. Day for Daniel will provide an invaluable opportunity for our children to learn about the significance of child safety. It is a reminder that education and awareness can help protect our children and create a safer community for all. We encourage you to engage with your children in conversations about their safety network, respectful relationships and reinforce our message that everyone has a right to feel safe all the time. 

Please see the great resource below on Protecting Your Kids Personal Safety.

Archdiocesan Assembly

Members of our executive attended the Archdiocesan Assembly on Saturday 26 October held at St Clare’s College, Griffith. There were 550 participants in attendance – clergy, educators, parishioners and Catholic Education staff. The Assembly focused on celebrating the Year of the Holy Spirit and explored new opportunities for evangelisation and synodality in the life and mission of our local Church going forward. The primary model for dialogue throughout the Archdiocesan Assembly was the Conversations in the Spirit exploring three overarching themes of encounter, discipleship and mission. A special thank you to the organisers and Archdiocesan staff for bringing this unique gathering of people together.
