De

Lys

Dear old Col; Inspired by all the great stories and adventures of Trinity’s daily activities, we’ve decided to compile our memories in one magazine.

My time in Trinity offered something I never anticipated: a different persepctive of the old and the new.

In this issue, we look back and we look forward: we cherish things that are dissipating and welcome the forthcoming.

The Fleur team wanted to remind ourselves that no matter where you end up, with one flick of a page, your memories will start flooding back to the year of 2018.

So let this magazine bring back some nostalgia, and we hope you love the little details throughout the magazine.

Yours Faithfully, Ruhisha Subramaniam.

p/s - hopefully our sleepless nights did not go to waste.

Fun Solve the puzzle

“These years in residence are just the beginning of the Trinity experience, an experience that most Trinitarians have for the rest of their lives.� The Warden

8

From the Warden.

“In friendship bind out hearts in one, a diverse unity, And make us worthy of your name, O glorious Trinity.”

And so ends the second, and final, verse of the College song, written by the 5th warden, Dr. Evan Burge. These two lines capture much of what it is to be at, and of, Trinity College. As many of our current members leave the College at the end of the academic and calendar year, it is worthwhile reflecting on the Trinity experience as reflected in these two lines.

This is an experience built fundamentally on friendships across the diversity of the College, and a sense of community built on pride for our College.

And the Trinity experience is not just for the one, two, three or more years one spends as a resident in the College.

Rather, these years in residence are just the beginning of the Trinity experience, an experience that most Trinitarians have for the rest of their lives. The connectedness of Trinitarians to the College and their fellow alums waxes and wanes over the years and decades.

Waning during the first two decades after leaving residence as the challenges of developing careers and families preoccupies many. And waxing during the third and fourth decades as we seek to reconnect with people and places who were important to us during those formative years in College. Friendships developed during those years in College are refreshed (…bind our hearts in one..) as we come to appreciate the importance of the diversity of opinions, backgrounds, aspirations and outlooks that then combine to create our Trinity community (…a diverse unity…).

And our pride in what the College stands for, its commitment to respect of all, and its efforts to provide a place that really does work to achieve a better world impels us to be ….. worthy of your name, O glorious Trinity...

pbell pbell Bairst Campbell B The residential college has enjoyed another excellent year in 2018. Our academic life, which must always be our foundation, flourished.

Congratulations to our students on their fine results and their enthusiasm for engaging with visiting academics, the Fireside chats and the tutorial program, both formal and extra-curricular. It was a year of first-class collegiate education and collaborative learning.

The arts also thrived. The highlights included the memorable productions of the musical ‘The Producers’ and of Ionesco’s absurdist play ‘Rhinoceros’, the dazzling tour of France and the UK by the Choir of Trinity College, the sublime singing of the Candystripes and the Trinity Tiger Tones, the wonderful musicality of our group in the Battle of the Bands, and the high quality of oratory and writing in our various public competitions.

Our teams also thrived on the sports field. The Women were remarkably consistent and reached the final stages of almost every competition, with splendid wins in AFL football and Basketball. The Men earned the Cowan Cup for most successful college, and thrived in semester one in winning the Cricket and the Men’s 1st VIII rowing. A great deal of our success can be attributed to the support from fellow students who turn out faithfully to cheer on Trinity; it is a very loyal community.

It has been a rich and deep privilege to be Dean and Deputy Warden of Trinity College for the past eleven years. It’s hard to imagine a more rewarding and engaging professional life than that of the Dean and my colleagues in recruiting, nurturing and enabling young adults from all over our nation and the world as they study at the University of Melbourne and the University of Divinity.

The number joining our residential community in the past decade exceeds 1,200 and they have each brought their own special gifts, ambitions and values to Trinity; what a remarkable force this represents. Many are already helping shape and improve our society in fields such as education, medical research and public health policy and practice.

Farewell to the residential college, and best wishes to my colleagues and our students for all the excitement and success that I know lies ahead. Trinity is a remarkable place.

Au revoir, et merci beaucoup 12

The Deputy Dean

GAYLE ALLAN

I will remember 2018 as a bitter/sweet year.

It was a happy and joyful one as together we once again plunged into the excitement of new studies and academic challenges, sporting exploits and artistic endeavours.

And along the way, I think we all had fun.

I am always deeply impressed and proud of the way our students immerse themselves in all that is on offer with enthusiasm and great spirit. The wholehearted support you offer each other in all endeavours is a hallmark of the College, whether it be in a writing competition, on the sporting field, academic pursuits or performances on stage. This is what makes Trinity great, and each generation is the proud inheritors of this legacy. It was wonderful to relive some of those moments at V Dinner and share in the celebration of a wonderful year!

But the year has had a sad tinge to it as we move towards the end of Campbell’s tenure as Dean and Deputy Warden. The speeches that have been given by students, and the enthusiastic way he has been received at V 14

Dinner and his last official formal hall, was a wonderful display of how much he means to you and to all of us.

It has been a privilege and pleasure working alongside him for nearly four years as his deputy, and he has been an wise and caring leader and mentor to the Residential Team, the Resident Tutors and the students of the Residential College. Campbell greets each day with positive energy and eager endeavour, which is a fine model for us all. He also faces the challenges of this wonderful life at College with great courage, compassion and humility. I will miss him more than I can say, but draw inspiration from the example he has shown to me and others. We are all better for having known him. Thank you Campbell!

ADRIAN NEWALL Head of the Student Services

This year saw a broadened portfolio for myself, moving from Academic Programs Manager into the newly formed role of Head of Student Services. This saw a continuation of my role managing the Academic Program at Trinity College but with the additional responsibility of managing student events, a responsibility I have thoroughly enjoyed. This year has been full of highlights and I have loved having involvement with a more diverse group of students across Trinity than I had in 2017. I particularly enjoyed working closely with Ted Wyles and the TCAC and was thrilled to assist last years senior student, Iffy Donnellan in coaching the Trinity women to the basketball premiership. Other highlights for me included participating in O’Week, the International Women’s Day breakfast organised by Gee Smith and Claudia Cameron, the Trinity Women’s AFL premiership and seeing some students who had struggled academically in 2017 receive academic awards in 2018.

I feel extremely privileged to work at Trinity College with a great staff and such a fantastic cohort of talented students. I look forward to my continued involvement in 2019.

“Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt. And live like it’s heaven on Earth.”

Mark Twain

This year has been one of my favourite years at Trinity and every day I feel so grateful that I am able to come to work and support all of you.

Head of Wellbeing

EMILY DAWSON Dear Trinitarians of 2018, I can’t believe that another year is nearly over!

Well they say time flies when you’re having fun, or maybe it’s just down to having the semester break after week 9.

I can’t believe that tomorrow I will be reading the last Beer Garden for 2018, that its Valedictory dinner and probably more importantly the last Bacon BBQ. 2018 to me will always be remembered for the start of the all-in corridor events, line dancing on O week and missing out on the Tech committee!

16

I know very soon our 2016 Trinitarians will be flying from the nest and making their way out into the world. I wish all of our valedictorians the very best in their endeavours and know that whatever you set your minds to you will achieve. You are a bunch of extremely talented, caring, dedicated and lovely individuals.

This year you have created a culture of inclusiveness and having a go. You will be missed!

Please remember, once you’re a part of the Trinity family, you are always part of it.

Go forward knowing that the college is in good hands for 2019! I know that 2018/19 TCAC will do an amazing job and that next year will be fantastic!

I am not usually one for inspirational quotes, but to all Trinitarians whatever your holiday plans I want you to remember that YOU are ENOUGH. I’ll leave you with this.

Best Wishes, Em.

Elders welcome us sending smoke into the skies as if to warn the ancestors that we have arrived Wurundjeri.

The Marngrook bounces across the Bul as traditional dance from Meriam Island echoes through the Old Wardens Lodge in honour of Eddie Mabo’s fight for land rights.

Students meet at College from all walks of life, Broome, Darwin and that good ol’ Tassy devil - a lot to offer countered by the sweet sound of the coming of the light choir floating on the drum of the chapels ears.

The hearts statement from Uluru came through and we stamp our support and love.

Go well Campbell and thank you for everything.

Appreciate you College, and am excited for an even more amazing 2019.

Head of Indigenous Support

Djirridjirri dancing on the waves of our souls, to set off our alarms not to be snoozed but to be used as inspiration for our tongues to return to their mothers.The year has been full of excitement and learning - Trinity’s Indigenous program is alive and thriving through the beginning stages of our RAP, the students whose veins are bursting out black and a community so keen, ready to learn and really make an impact.

This past year has been both exciting and challenging. On the one hand, the School has been buoyed by a substantial investment from Trinity College in theological research, as part of the College’s wider strategic plan. This has allowed us to appoint two wonderful scholars – the Revd Canon Professor Dorothy Lee FAHA, and Dr Scott Kirkland – specifically into research-based roles. We look forward to seeing the fruit of their labours! On the other hand, the departure mid-year of two faculty members was a source of sadness, and necessitated some creative re-balancing of workloads.

During the first half of the year, Trinity College engaged in a rigorous international search for a new Dean for the Theological

The Reverend of Trinity Theological School

School. The appointment in mid-May of the Revd Dr Robert (Bob) Derrenbacker to this post was received with warmth and enthusiasm. Bob will join us from Sudbury, Canada, where for the past nine years he has been President of Thornloe University.

Our academic programs, which are accredited through the University of Divinity, have continued well, with an especially strong cohort of online students. This has coincided neatly with the purchase and installation of new state-of-the-art Zoom facilities.

Nonetheless, we continue to pray for the emergence of new students, and the raising up of prospective ordinands from among the parishes, who

will swell our numbers, and give voice to a new generation of clergy and Church leaders.

Our Continuing Education program has also proceeded well. We have been privileged to host public lectures from, amongst others, Professor John J. Collins (Yale Divinity School), and the Reverend Canon Dr Emma Percy (Trinity College, Oxford). In August, the School was especially delighted to welcome back the Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverend Kay Goldsworthy AO who, as an alumna of the School, was an eminently suitable person to deliver the 48th Barry Marshall Lecture.

Summary As the writer of Ecclesiastes, as well as Jim McGuinn and The Byrds, remind us, ‘To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven...’

That could well be the summary statement of Trinity College Theological School this year – as we have faced the reality and challenges of change, and yet also been buoyed by the constant signs of God’s provision for our ongoing mission and ministry to the Church and beyond.

Words from the Past

“Outgoing students, you have enjoyed a special opportunity by being a member of Trinity.

Make sure you justify this good fortune by giving back to the community. It is good to think about having two parallel careers – the one where you earn a living and the other where you help others in some way.”

BILL COWAN

At the end of your life you are likely to be remembered for your efforts to improve society much more than for hat you did to earn a i ing. The cha lenge, of course, is how to make your contribution without spreading yourself too thin. Life in College in the 1960’s was rather less complicated than it is today. The Co ege had one b ack and hite T and t o te ephone ines for students. The freshers ere scheduled to telephone duty – they answered the phone and ran to fetch the student recei ing the ca . The College was, of course, men only in those days. We shared studies. As a general rule our “wives” were studying a different course. And genera y they

became great friends for ife. The important exams were at the end of the year. As a resu t in first term the freshers worked, in second term no one worked, and it third term everyone orked after the Oak Tree came into eaf . The music scene as changing.

“I was asked to write about my favourite college memories, however my mind is a little foggy on the details...and I’m only half-joking. But it was a lot.

I first stepped onto the Bul as a Fresher in 2009 to start my time at Trinity. I was terrified and super excited, and the four years I spent there were unreal.”

24

IRINI VAZANELLIS

At the time I couldn’t really see – through the blur of fluorescent costumes, academic gowns, goon bags, and oh, University – how formative the experience was. It’s only with perspective, looking back at this almost 10 years later, I realised that first step onto the college grounds was a huge turning point for me, as for a lot of you more recently, and for many before us.

I did a lot. I came out of my small-town-high-school shell and put my hand up for everything. All the Clubs & Societies. Short film competitions. Hiking through Papua New Guinea on the Kokoda trail. Organising O-Week. A Royal Wedding.

Editing the Fleur de Lys (how meta).

I put a lot of energy in and got a lot out. There were highlights, lowlights (read: ugly-crying in my room), and sometimes just lights. But the best stories are reserved for a night by the fireplace in the MCR over a glass of port.

like I had a platform to try new things, and a support system to catch me when I was having a hard time; even when it didn’t, those challenges were formative too. So I’m grateful for Trinity. For that time in space I had at college 10 years ago and the ongoing bonds.

Above all I’m grateful for the young energetic people I had around me – my forever Trinity family – who showed me how to just GO for it. To keep pushing your limits, to be fearlessly yourself.

So, my advice. Say yes to things! But know it’s OK to say no. Eat vegetables. Rest. Wake up early. Drink more water. Discipline is invaluable.

Read to fuel your mind with new ideas. Listen actively. Remember to be kind. Tell people you appreciate them. And call your parents!

It’s a gift to be part of something special, a Trinitarian, and it stays with you for the rest of your life. I felt

“Trinity to me was and still is...... three of the seven wonders.”

25

The rhythmic sound of spoons pounding on the dining room tables at a college dinner is one of my strongest Trinity memories. Anyone who has been ‘spooned’ into the dining hall after a sporting victory will know this thrill.

For me, loving sport, College was the opportunity to play in a variety of sporting teams and enjoy the friendships, training and matches that came with it – plus the entertaining cheering from the sidelines. In 1986, I was a first time rower in the 2nd eightr.

We had a BRILLIANT coach – Alexander (David) Gall . Our victory over Ormond was clearly due to his tactical decision to coach us to row with ‘long and strong’ strokes. And so, we were rewarded with the traditional ‘spooning’ at dinner that evening.

26

In fact, the Trinity Dining Hall brings back many many fond memories. Entering that space again recently with our son William feels as if it was only yesterday.

Ahhhhh, the joy of days when there was an endless run of black tie dinners; fun and laughter at “prees”; the circulation of taffeta ‘frocks’ amongst friends; and post dinner dancing in the common room until your feet ached.

When it comes to advice for outgoing students, travel heaps; continue to learn (so many wonderful teachers out there!) and take pride in whatever you do. Look after your body! - it has to last another 70 years and has probably been given some very rough treatment over the recent three!

And of course, stay connected - the friendships made at College last a lifetime.

OUTGOING TCAC 2017/2018 caris mcclements

Upon election, the TCAC for 7- 8 had big dreams and even bigger plans. When setting out the goals we wanted to achieve for the year ahead, we looked at Trinity College’s years gone by. Finding old traditions in the running of events like Juttoddi and the non-drinking night of O-week, we managed to find a happy medium between modern and traditional.

Furthermore, we implemented changes in the learning about mental health throughout the Resscollege and worked with administration to ensure College was an inviting and safe place for all.

For all involved, the 7- 8 TCAC was a time of immense learning about ourselves and the wider College community.

On behalf of all of us, it was an absolute pleasure to have been a part of the TCAC in the year gone by. We look forward to seeing Bishops Ivory towers and walking Clarkes long Cloisters in the future. Lots of love, Ted, Caris, Cam, Caitlin, Hugo, Will, Georgia and Matt; your 7- 8 TCAC.

18/19

Why did you apply for this position? I’ve been very involved with college life during my time at Trinity.

These experiences have showed me the areas that can be improved to make college a better place. I believe that Trinity has the opportunity to become a better college and I want to lead the action to become one.

What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? The overarching point that The TCAC student leadership group and I are most passionate about is fostering a positive sense of community at Trinity. Our principal objective is to support an environment where students, staff and alumni all feel involved with the management of our college and connected with each other. Which event are you most excited for and why? Valedictory Day is the event I’m most excited about. The TCAC have high hopes for the day and we’re excited about the event we have planned. What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? A very memorable moment of my college experience was a Wednesday Karaoke Bar Night this year in The Junior Common Room. My favourite performance of the night was Alex and Henry’s performance of Pitbull’s Hotel Room Service. The performance was extremely enthusiastic. It is special that Trinity is the kind of place where people feel comfortable enough to put themselves out there in any setting and people will strongly support them in doing that, as they did on this Wednesday night. What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? The Outgoing TCAC had a very firm grasp and understanding of the big issues that people care about. Understanding these big concerns for students is extremely important and the same issues are still relevant today. What I want to improve is the way that we tackle these big issues. Clear plans that can be implemented at the college to address these concerns are vital. If we don’t have clear plans and strategies to tackle these big issues then they are impossible to effectively address. The TCAC has worked hard to formulate these plans and we look forward to effectively addressing student concerns.

ELIZA CHOMLEY social secretary

18/19

Why did you apply for this position? I had always thought being a part of the TCAC would be an amazing way to approach my final year at Trinity. The impact a good TCAC can have is undeniable. We set the tone and influence the culture of our college from the very start of O week, and the challenge of ensuring that culture is an overwhelmingly positive one is very exciting to me. The Social Secretary role has been an interesting experience so far and already I have learnt from it, and the way the role pretty much forces you to know and associate with everyone at the college is something that I love, and definitely drew me to apply.

What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? To make sure O Week is a non-daunting, fun, exciting experience for every first year, and to continue the culture of inter-year group friendships that I believe is such a great part of Trinity.

I’m aiming for the Social Calender to be packed with events that suit all types – whilst the drinking ones are awesome, it is important to have a variety that caters for everyone. Which event are you most excited for and why? All of them!! I particularly can’t wait to put them all on the 2019 social calendar :)))) What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? Prior to every Wednesday for as long as I can remember, Bella Backwell and Bridge Armstrong ensuring every student knows that WE ARE GOING TO TURF, NOT PAs that night, leaving no group chat unaware (Bella even going as far as providing everyone with live updates of her endeavours as “Turf Bella”) What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? I think the changes to Jutoddie were a great success of the previous TCAC. Whilst still maintaining the traditional aspects of the event, the day was made more enjoyable for everyone involved by having more fun obstacles and activities that I’m sure we will continue, if not build upon, in the coming year.

I am keen to add more social events that don’t necessarily involve drinking to our calendar, and get people more involved in the awesome Careers program we have here at Trinity.

SAM HANNAH treasurer 18/19

SARAH LOO community rep. 18/19

Why did you apply for this position? I applied for this position because I saw the great work that Cam (my predecessor) was able to do, and I was inspired by his contribution to College. I saw this as a unique opportunity to give back to improve the community which has given me so much. Ultimately, I wanted to be an asset to the College and saw this as the best platform to do that. What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? As a TCAC there is a lot that we would like to achieve. Our goals are numerous and diverse. Essentially, we want to uphold strong communication between the Student Body and the Res Col Team, support students on issues about which they feel strongly, and implement lasting changes that will improve the lives of students. Most importantly, we want students to feel that their voice is heard and to champion their ideas to improve our community.

Which event are you most excited for and why?

I am probably most excited for O-Week at the beginning of next year. It is a crucial time for all the freshers, and one that we really have to nail as a student leadership group. It is so integral to welcome every new member of the College, to make them feel at home and help them settle in. Ultimately, we want to set the tone for the rest of the year, and convey to them what we love about Trinity and why we keep on coming back for more.

Why did you apply for this position? Firstly, I hope to contribute to a passionate, diverse and welcoming leadership committee. Within my role on the TCAC I aim to help shape an environment that promotes inclusiveness, community involvement and that continues to provide fantastic opportunities and events, especially in this time of transition for our college. In my time at Trinity, I have been most heavily involved in community service and committees devoted to wellbeing and support for our diverse cohort of students. In this way, the role of community rep encapsulates my greatest passions and areas in which I hope to have the most impact. What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position?

Two key areas in which I hope to impact are: 1. Strengthening the support for individuals during their time here. a) Opportunities that promote mental and physical health. b) Promoting stronger inter-year level ties. c) Improved support for international and Indigenous students.

2. Providing opportunities for you to contribute to causes important to you. a) Encouraging individuals to bring forward causes they are passionate about, so we can work together to support them. b) Raising awareness for a wide array of causes and events happening across the world – an opportunity for you to discover causes you might feel passionately about. c) Group involvement – I would love for us all to work towards a single goal, voted on by all of us, as a community next year. Which event are you most excited for and why? O-Week and Outreach Dinner! I’m excited to make a fantastic song absolutely unforgettable for the freshers. I also hope we’ve each started saving up, because the highly anticipated yet-to-be-announced auction prizes of the 2019 Outreach Dinner are set to be winners! What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? TCAC Dinner :)) What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? The rocket, gym memberships, chooty culture and mental health first aid training were quite impressive. Would love to sell the rocket though…

I saw the Indoor Rep position as an opportunity to work with a phenomenal group of people to improve the college experience for all the residents which is why I was very interested.What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? I’d love to see the get ore action and hopefully start directing the college to ards a student run cafe Which event are you most excited for and why? Most exciting event would have to be V-Day. A great way to start wrapping up the year and what’s better than a day of drinking with your mates then walking 20 metres to your bed.

What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? Shake it up Saucy. What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? I think the previous TCAC did an amazing job with the organisation of O-Week. Taking on less buddies but still managing to delegate efficiently to pull off a quite difficult, draining task. The one thing I’d love to see change is the bar night culture.

BEATRICE HART arts rep. 18/19 Why did you apply for this position? Because I have a crazy passion for the arts and I think there are so many incredibly talented people at trinity that deserve a platform to showcase their talents. What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? 1) Making sure the incoming freshers feel like trinity is an expressive an accepting environment for the arts. 2) Creating more platforms for students to showcase their talents. 3) Creating more opportunities for merit when it comes to the arts. Which event are you most excited for and why? Either the musical because so many people get involved and it is never not fun or V-Day because... I mean it’s V-Day! What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? I’m my first year after we had won the Women’s AFL final, all of us girls partied in the JCR for hours and ended up kicking the footy on the bul late at night and getting up to all other sorts of mischief. What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? The previous TCAC were incredibly driven and made many of their goals a reality which is very inspiring. I would like to build on how Arts is recognised at college. Perhaps with an Arts Gala evening celebrating more of the achievements of our students and allowing for more students to see and hear what many of us can do.

ALEX GALL male sports rep.

18/19

Why did you apply for this position? I'm a male and I love sport. For a cringe answer to this question look at Lilli's. What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? I want to extend the opportunity of playing intercollegiate sport and Melbourne Uni sport to everyone at college.

Secondly, a University Gym Membership will be available to all students at a heavily discounted price as the final stage of the previous TCAC's plan. Thirdly, to increase the number of Trinity supporters at sports.

There are so many other goals, as well as these, that Lilli and I want to complete next year and can't wait to see the end result. Which event are you most excited for and why? The Rugby Match against Ormond. It will be nice to get redemption for last year and it's so enjoyable to play in front of all your friends and family. A few things need to go right but it will hopefully mark my first rugby game with my brother.

What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? Henry Moon patting a seal at 9:20 on Vday. What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? The previous TCAC were really approachable and great role models for the Student Body. As stated above, I really want to increase the number of supporters at sports and I believe the TCAC and Jesters have the most influence over that.

LILLI VAGNARELLI female sports rep.

18/19

Why did you apply for this position? Sport has been my absolute favourite part of Trinity. I have made so many friends across year levels and groups through sport and it made my transition into a new environment where I didn’t know anyone that much easier. I applied for this role because I know how integral Sport is and how it can really positivity influence Trinity’s culture. What are some of your main goals for next year in your new position? My biggest goal for next year is getting a Women’s AFL All Stars competition up and running. I think also continually building on the social sport side of things is really important, making sport accessible to everyone. What is one funny memory you have at Trinity over your time here? Too hard to pinpoint one memory but really funny memories I have from College is living in Upper Clarkes first year and the shenanigans that came about through that. We had some serious prankers such as Tom Grills, Sam Hannah and Tom Dean. My favourite memories this year have been through the TRAC camping and Ski trips – a lot goes on at these, I cannot recommend them enough. What is something you think the previous TCAC did really well and what is something you want to change? The previous TCAC, in particularly the previous Female Sports Rep Gee Smith, did a great deal to increase women’s opportunities for sports at College. Thanks to Gee the girls now get to be part of the Rugby. This has set a really good precedent to keep bringing about change were you feel it is needed. While it’s lovely to have tradition, there is always room to keep updating traditions that sometimes existed before females were even living at Trinity.

“A colourful celebration of Yolngu culture and a space for discussing Indigenous Australian affairs, this year marked the 20th anniversary of the Garma Festival. Yuwalk Lakaranja – truth telling - was the theme for this year’s festival. Accompanied by Campbell Bairstow and TAMM Kingi, we were fortunate enough to travel to North East Arnhem Land for this important occasion. For four days, situated on beautiful red dirt country, the sound of Yidaki resounded in the stringy bark bush of Gulkula and truths about education, health, welfare, oppression, treatment by government and Treaty aspirations were told. Garma is more than a "trip" or an "experience"; it is a gift.

Garma focused and grounded me to the issues important in my community, to the reality which can become obscured in the University context of textbooks, lectures and theoretical thinking.”

Olivia Bentley “I feel so privileged to have gone to Garma Festival this year. It is the most unique learning experience, although not easy at times. Garma is all-encompassing; you are immersed in both cultural practice, as well as political forums. The Theme of Truth Telling ran through all parts of the festival and exemplified the need for change in areas of health and education outcomes for Indigenous Australians.”

Nina Brown “The Garma trip was a wonderful experience that I am extremely grateful for. Highlights of the trip include the education forum and the ability to network with many other Indigenous Australians from around the country. Garma is an amazing festival and I would like to thank the Yolngu people for welcoming us on to their country, the Yothu Yindi Foundation for facilitating the event, and Trinity College for giving students the opportunity to attend.”

Nathan Hucker

GARMA ‘18

“Garma was a liefchanging experience, and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to attend. There is so much that we as a society can learn from the rich tapestry of Australian Aboriginal Culture, and the symbiotic relationship that the Yolngu people form with their land, particularly in these days of consumerism and relative disregard for the environment.”

Although these photos were not quite expected (or hoped for), they show the incredibly beautiful, chaotic and complex country that India is.

In January, 12 students travelled to India to travel and collaborate with ASHA in Zakhira Slum in New Delhi.

Zakhira Slum was a piecemeal, yet highly functional environment. Everything was purposed and repurposed again. An old hessian bag previously full of rice or a dated political poster was used to create walls.

And inside these areas smaller than bathrooms, women ran households of six. Somehow there was a place for everything. The impermanence of these structures means that no infrastructure such as toilets or sewerage can be created and the foundations of many dwellings are layers of rubbish. However amongst this reality we found aspiration, community, resilience and an incredible ability to adapt. The children were curious and eager to learn.

They loved playing duck duck goose, dancing the Macarena and learning about Australian animals.

They imagined futures in which they were doctors, cricketers and teachers.

Several months later, it is possible to reflect on the unique reality of life in India and to realise that all 12 of us learnt as much from them as they did from us.

CHOIR ‘17/’18 The choral year burst into action in March with The Dream of Gerontius, where we performed alongside the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus. Following a week long intensive rehearsal period, Gerontius was performed over three nights at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall and Geelong’s Costa Hall.

Semester One was additionally marked by the annual Easter Tenebrae Service, which included Allegri’s Miserere Mei. This was a particularly memorable experience as the chapel candles were gradually extinguished throughout the service, eventually leaving us in darkness for the climactic ‘strepitus’ or loud noise symbolizing the earthquake of resurrection.

Of course, the pinnacle of our 2018 choral experience was the month-long tour in Europe over June-July, in which we were very fortunate to perform at world renowned locations such as St Paul's Cathedral (London), St George's Chapel (Windsor Castle) and Christ Church Cathedral (Oxford). In preparation for these performances, we spent a week in Camós, northern Spain, rehearsing tour repertoire. While abroad, we recorded a CD which contained several new Australian works, including Alice Chance's Holy Dreaming which explores indigenous Christian spiritualism.

As a new Trinity chorister of 2018, I am extremely grateful for the experience of the Choir as it has opened my eyes to new forms of music performance and inspired me through the great talents of others in the choral community. The choristers have deeply valued the commitment our Choir Master, Christopher Watson, for his dedication to creating the best possible music we are capable of making. Still to come in Semester Two is our Service of Remembrance in November and our annual Carols week in December, marking the end of what has been an unforgettable choral year.

ACAP The men of the Tiger Tones have had a fantastic year!

The auditions saw us welcome fresher recruits Jono Ta, Oscar Yencken, and Josh Copeland to fill us out to twelve boys, and we started the year with a bang, performing for Beyond Blue at the Glenferrie Festival.

We were also very proud to be able to present Beyond Blue with a $10,000 cheque, which we had worked hard to raise. Mental health support is critical for young men especially, but all people too, and we were honoured to be able to contribute to a cause above and beyond our own.

From there, we haven’t stopped: our voices have carried us from the Supreme Court Library, to the Royal Children’s Hospital, to Gala Dinners at the Brighton International, and back to our homes around the Bulpadock. In the second semester, we commenced work in the recording studio at the Abbey Road Institute: yes, the Tones are putting out our debut album – stay tuned for our first LP, it’s going to be a zinger.

We had 6 incredibly talented new additions this year and they have not only been amazing vocalists but have gone above and beyond to help tweak arrangements, help with choreography and add amazing musicianship to our pieces. Early in second semester we went on retreat down to the Mornington Peninsular and loved workshopping songs but mainly just having some downtime while still being surrounded by music, a passion we all share.

December sees the Tones take on the Northern Hemisphere, embarking on an A Capella tour of the UK! We will be starting in London, singing at the Macmillan Cancer Centre Fundraiser, and at the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. We then fly north to Edinburgh, and to St Andrews, to sing with The Other Guys group from St Andrews University. We close the trip with a visit to Dublin to reunite with our brother group, the Trinitones from Trinity College Dublin, before returning to Melbourne for Christmas.

We are so looking forward to our upcoming showcase in October and are excited to take ourselves off campus and experiment with singing in such a gorgeous venue at the Abbotsford Convent.

My last year in Candies has been an absolute high and I absolutely can’t wait to see what these amazingly talented group of girls do next year!

With all this excitement lying ahead, we would just like to say how much we appreciate the support we have received and continue to receive from the broader Trinity College community, and that we look forward to bringing A Capella beatz to 100 Royal Parade for many years to come.

This has been a fab year of music for the Candies and we’ve had such a blast performing both inside and out of college. In my three years of being apart of the Candystripes, this has been the first time that we’ve ever been given the opportunity to perform for a wider audience and we loved the challenge of working on commissioned pieces and expanding our repertoire.

Lots of love,

ACAP

W A K E U P FRESHERS!

O Week was an absolute blast! Despite having to wake up unusually early (a massive struggle for me), it was one of the best and most hectic weeks of my life! On day one of O week, at the admissions ceremony, I did not know one single person at college, however, this all changed within days. By the end of the week, I think I had nearly met over 80% of the 120 freshers and knew all the buddies by name. My experience was certainly enhanced by the wonderful people I not only met, but also got to know on a personal level. I speak for all when I say the super fun and accomodating O week team; both the buddies and the TCAC, put on a show for us all, and contributed to one of the greatest weeks ever experienced!

O Week - Fresher Charlotte Verley 63

Nothing quite compares to the excitement that I felt during O-Week in 2018.

The rush of meeting so many new Trinitarians, being surrounded by a collection of wonderful people and being kept busy from 6:30am until midnight most nights made it an unforgettable experience. It was superb to see the Student Coordinators, O-Week Buddies, Jesters, Residential Tutors, Staff and Paul all come together to help make the first week at Trinity for the 2018 Freshers a truly memorable one. Whether your O-Week was characterised by groggily leaving your room while ‘Go Bang’ by Pnau was blaring across the Bul, or by the late night chats you had with your newfound friends after learning how to line dance, your experience and excitement were incredibly unique. One of the outstanding characteristics of O-Week is that it caters for all. By always being surrounded by others and being encouraged to partake in sometimes very odd tasks you’re brought closer to the 115 people who you’ll be spending your year with.

Seeing friendships being made, fun being had and memories being forged has truly engrained O-Week 2018 as the best experience I have ever had in my time at Trinity.

I hope that you too can always look back on your O - Week and any that you’ve been involved in with similar fondness.

O Week - Buddy Evan Sinclair

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outreach Dinner supported the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) and was a very special night filled with generosity.

It was terrific to hear from Julian Burnside, who shared with us how the ASRC operates and how the money from the dinner would aid the centre. The night sold out a week before the event and was a huge success all thanks to William Mullins and the outreach committee. The Hewitson family also kindly donated the wine for the evening, which Harriet led the charge on herself. The night raised $6050 for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, these funds have been put into services that ensure asylum seekers have the best chance of staying safe in Australian. All in all the evening was a huge success!

This past year has been an absolute blast for the tech committee, and there have been many notable moments from each of the events that have been held throughout our short tenure. El Dorado saw the dance floor cleared in record time when James Warne decided to play a track by prominent tech-house duo Bicep, and we also saw the first use of a confetti cannon at a college event, much to the dismay of the members of the Wine Cellar who had to clean the individual pieces the following morning. This year we have also had the pleasure of welcoming a resident Arcadia DJ in our midst, although despite his Saturday night residency at the venue, Harry Von Bibra was unable to convince the staff at Arcadia to turn the music at Back to School up above a level appropriate for a casual dinner-time conversation. A special mention must go out to Charlie Baylis, Charlie McDougall and Hugo Mainland who all made guest appearances at events throughout the year in the event of unforeseen circumstances in which Tiff Copeland was unable to play. Another big special mention must go to the head of the tech committee, Josh Parker, for always being present during pack down after big events. Overall, we would like to thank each and every one of you for being a wonderful audience to play for, and for putting up with Hamish Gunasekara playing drum and bass and/or dubstep at some point during every JCR party. We cannot wait to see what V-Day holds with the return of the Boiler Room, and we would like to wish next year’s tech committee all the best for what will be an exciting year for Trinity.

Sincerely, The 2017/18 Tech Committee.

Two pillars; maintaining features that have made The Billiards Room historically successful and striving to enhance the quality of the club were the guiding principles The Billiards Committee championed through 2018. It was an economically and emotionally demanding experience representing these two ideals, but we were proud to maintain beloved iconic features of Billiards events and drastically improve the clubs affordability and accessibility. The Committee- Charlie Baylis, Eliza Chomley, India Ritchie, Sam Tallis, Evan Sinclair and myself hope that our passion for and commitment to The Billiards Room has translated to a positive experience as a member of our club. All the best to next year’s Committee.

With Respect, Tom Grills.

Well, well, well. With the year drawing to a close, it is my (Guy Paul, Social Secretary of TRAC) great pleasure to write up this report of the year’s activities. 2018 will go down as one of the most successful years in TRAC’s history with (count em) 2 trips occurring this year (two!)

Camping down in the Great Otway National Park was a trip that I, Guy Paul, particularly enjoyed, and I especially enjoyed taking an active role in the planning and organising of that trip, a responsibility shared equally amongst our talented committee. The trip was a great success, with great fun and merriment had by all. Many thanks to all those who volunteered their cars for our usage.

Inclement weather washed out the second camping trip, which was a shame as it would have been a phenomenal trip, but alas, you win some and sometimes there are others that you don’t win.

The Ski Trip was also a great success, with the highlight being TRAC not making a $2000 loss. Again, many thanks for those who allowed us to use their cars and Russell for accommodation.

Seeing as I am writing this in week 4 I (Guy Paul) don’t know how things will play out, but hopefully we do another camping trip later in the year for which I’ll go out on a limb and predict it to be a great success, as well as yet another event hopefully to celebrate the healthy financial position of TRAC. Kind Regards, TRAC The Music Society had another fruitful year as a key pillar of the Arts at Dear Old College. By maintaining Joseph Carbone’s tradition of “Album of the Week”, we ensured that musical horizons were broadened and repertoires of appreciation were expanded. Performances throughout the year included the Jazz Quartet at Outreach Dinner, a narrow 2nd place finish in the Battle of the Bands, and, of course, the much-loved Formal Hall performances by the virtuosos that live amongst us. The culmination of talents was seen once again in the inaugural Arts Fest, where music played a vital part to Bea’s extremely successful event. All the best to next year’s President and Committee, who I am sure will continue the tradition of promoting music as part of our diverse lifestyle.

Leo Li.

The Dialectic Society has, throughout 2018, sought to uphold its traditions whilst also striving to ensure that it remains a relevant and integral aspect of student life here at our dear old college.

The year started off with the annual O-Week Fresher debate in which two teams fiercely contested the motion “That Senior Student Ted should take Campbell’s job as Dean upon his resignation next year,” with the negative team winning due to a scathing evaluation of Ted’s moral character. Furthermore, the society played a crucial role in the organising of the Franc Carse Essay Prize, the Philip Sergeant Poetry Prize and the Wigram Allen Spoken Essay Prize.

However, it is the way in which the Dialectic Society has built upon its own traditions that I am most proud. The inaugural Dialectic Dinner was held in Semester Two, which provided students with the unique opportunity to debate domestic Australian public policy over the table with college alumni and Grattan Institute CEO John Daley. I believe it is the role of the Dialectic Society to provide a forum for students to debate the topics of the day and, in doing so, provide inspiration to make a meaningful impact on society after college.

I hope that the committee next year will continue to preserve and expand the traditions of the Dialectic Society’s long history.

Blake Reilly

Dear flour de lease, The Trinity Social Sports Society (TSSS) was a HUGE success this year. In its first year of running, the extremely motivated president and the committee (minus Evan Sinclair) were very excited to announce the launch of the biggest lawn bowls event on the crescent. For $20, you’ll get 3 hours of lawn bowls fun with your friends, 2 beers (PWOAH) and a BBQ! What seemed like the biggest EOFYS, turned out to be the biggest failure with only 3 tickets sold. In other news, we bought some sports equipment. We hope that the TSSS does not face a similar consequence to Beer Brewing and believe that with the right people it can succeed.

Yours Sincerely, TSSS

Cooking, Dining and Coffee. The best three combos in one society. Who can ask for more?

From receiving a free keep cup during sign ups to baking countless amount of brownies for the entire college, the team never failed to keep the tummies of our members happy.

We’ve dined all sorts of cuisines from Japanese to Mexican, keeping the spirits of the members alive and their pockets filled with cash. On behalf of the team, we are so thankful to the members for sharing their love of food & coffee with us.

What was the highlight of your CDC year?

Sarah: Burgers at Howler & brownie making in the basement Ru: Just getting to know everyone and meeting other foodies <3 Lilli: Is it even a question... SUSHI!!

Marley: I love how we simultaneously incorporated our passion for good coffee and sustainability by providing keep cups to our members. ZINGA. Ginny: I loved getting to know the freshers over coffee!!

Right off the back of previous Trinity ICAC reps, Grace Neville, and the man, the myth, the legend: Chris “Scoblerone” Richards himself, I had extremely big shoes to fill in this position. Being on the Intercollegiate Activities Committee in 2018 has been heaps of fun and has allowed me to meet awesome new people and help organise many exciting (often criminally underrated!!) events. This year, the specific event I chose to lead the organisation for was the ICAC Music Soirée, a cocktail function where students from across the crescent were invited to indulge in live music performances by varied collegians.

Despite some initial struggles trying to secure a venue, it was an extremely rewarding experience watching all my efforts and infinite emails slowly develop into an actually functional, and successful party. Definitely my favourite part about ICAC this year, however, has been the opportunity to get an exclusive insider scoop into all the hot gossip from around the college crescent. The weekly 8am Monday morning meetings – while complete agony and inhumanely early – allowed me to suss out each of the colleges, giving me a valuable appreciation for the varied people and cultures the Melbourne Uni intercollegiate community has to offer. ICAC has been a great experience and I have loved the opportunity to dabble outside the Trinity bubble a lot more than I ever did in my first two years at college. If I could give one bit of advice to future Trinity students, it’s that ICAC is in fact really, really, really cool. Trust me!

Beer Budlay has enjoyed a preeminent year as Trinity’s largest and best functioning CnS yet again. This year we boasted record membership numbers, exceeding 170. Holding a trio of great parties at affordable prices, Beer Budlay has helped foster and develop the social fabric of the College. Community spirit was bolstered and many friendships formed at Beer Budlay. The Bak2Skool party, this year held at an old favourite the Arcadia Hotel, was a true highlight of the College year, taking many people down memory lane. The Beer Budlay Committee would like to thank each of our lovely members for their involvement this year – we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Samuel Hannah

The sustainability team (Tom Grills, Beth Chong, Harriet Hewitson, Haley Dare) has worked hard throughout the year to encourage sustainable practices throughout the college. Our two biggest events were Clean Up Australia Day and Community Planting Day, each attended by over 80 students from both the residential and the pathways school. We’ve also changed to a recycled, partially carbon neutral paper supplier and are working on getting a voltage optimisation unit to slash our electricity bill.

Sustainability.

Nathan Kovacs Yet another thriving year for the Games Society with a record 28 devoted Trinity students signing to be members! A whopping 146 people took part in the long-anticipated game of Assassins; determination was rife.

James Verheggen was crowned the winner under controversial circumstances. The successful year continued with a Friday night poker tournament where the one and only Alex ‘from the kitchen’ Stone won with a sneaky last hand. Thank you to those who continue to support and believe in the Games Society.

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOFTBALL emma wunsch | vice-captain 2018 was a brilliant year for the Trinity Softball team with a team full of powerful women. Starting at home base, we had the mighty Jordan Holloway-Clarke and spectacular Claudia Martin. On first base our amazing captain and MVP Caris McClements with her quick reflexes. Kate Morris and Grace Clarke stood proud on second base. Third base was held by our other MVP Annie Hoy and Eleni Vrodos, known for their quick thinking and fast throws. I, Emma Wunsch, protected short stop to the best of my ability as vice-captain. Our precise pitchers, Chloe Page and Claudia Trotter, performed incredibly in one of the hardest positions on the field. We would have not made it as far in the tournament without our epic outfield of Billie Metselaar, Millie Klingbeil, Jasmine Thompson, Eliza Chomley and Bella Nichols.

We woke up enthusiastically at 7am multiple times a week to hone our skills. For the second time we flew into the grand final, but unfortunately were beaten at the very end. We may have lost, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop us 84

laughing and getting around every player during the game. While our season was short, with a grand total of three games over two days, we made the most of our time together as a team and loved representing Trinity in the first female sport of the year. Special thanks to Marley Holloway-Clarke and Vicky Tan for coaching us and to Tyson Holloway-Clarke for helping cart our softball gear to the field and back. We would also like to thank all the supporters for coming down to watch us play and cheer on the Trinity Softball team of 2018.

Best of luck to the girls next year

Flashback to March 2010, the Trinity cricketers had blown everyone out of the water, winning by 10 wickets in the grand final against Ormond.

College life couldn’t get any better.

The jovial celebrations continued through the afternoon and as the sun was setting over Princes Park the captain addressed the Trinity crowd.

I wouldn’t say I am superstitious, however, since his boastful address on that day which included, “I’m not sure we will ever lose again”, Trinity has made it to 6 Grand Finals against 4 different colleges falling victim to the Hoodoo every time.

It came to nobody’s surprise that Cricket Firsts made it to the 2018 Grand Final. Chasing down Queens’ total of 156 in the semi-final bode well for our grand final chances against St Hilda’s. Confidence wasn’t an issue for the Trinity Firsts having convincingly beat St Hilda’s during the group stage where Lucien Bienvenu scored a half century and had taken 4 wickets.

This confidence transformed into arrogance during the first innings as Trinity bowled St Hildas out for 103.

Throughout the season we had always been comfortable to chase rather than post a score because we felt that the depth of our batting talents was greater than our bowlers.

However, after 3 overs we found ourselves at 3 wickets for 3 runs. It had brought every Trinitarian playing and supporting off the pedestal of arrogance. Some people had said that the Hoodoo would remain until every college on the crescent had beaten Trinity in a Cricket Grand Final.

With all the amazing efforts throughout the season - like Will Foster’s superb 92 from 51 balls, a team hat trick (initiated by 2 wickets from Ollie McEnroe), the return of a South African superstar in Shawn Ingle, the best glove work on the crescent from Tom Shatin and finally Johnny McDonald and Sam Atkinson’s top-level catching - all seemed to go to waste.

CRICKET

CRICKET

MEN’S CRICKET anonymous as requested by cricket member

History was set to repeat itself.

Until the unbroken partnership of 83 runs between Alex Gall and Nathan Hucker broke the Hoodoo that had haunted Trinity cricketers for the last 8 years. Gall sealed victory with 6 over mid-off for his half century added to Hucker’s gritty 30 not out never looked easy.

For me, however, this year’s success was down to every player in the group putting their best cricket forward at the right moments and, in a broader sense, the desire to win which had been developed through the efforts of years preceding us. To the previous captains and teams who came oh-so-close: this one’s for you, fellas. Enjoy.

MEN’S SOCCER henry moon|captain

SOCCER

After a disappointing season last year, the soccer team was hoping to do a little bit better for the fans. With the injection of the Italian Stallion and the return of William Mullins, the Trinity soccer team was shaping up to be a formidable team.

The first game of the season was against our rivals Ormond. Heading into half time 1-0 up things were looking promising, however, that was all about to change. After bringing on our star bench warmer Tom Grills, it took just 5 minutes for Ormond to put 2 goals past our keeper and we paid the price, losing the game 2-1.

After a rough start we faced last year’s premiers in Newman College. The team got off to a bright start getting up 1-0 early in the game. Newman raised the tempo of the game and were inches from equalising but were denied by a goal line clearance from our veteran defender Mullins. Was it a handball? Absolutely. However, the Norwegian referee shared a special bond with our coach Eirik and turned a blind eye. After enduring the pressure, the team responded well in the second half finishing the game with a 4-0 win.

86 Facing St Hilda’s in the quarter finals the morning after Outreach dinner,

we were expecting a grudge match. As expected, it was a tough physical battle but the team outclassed Hilda’s off the back of a ripper night, winning the game 2-0.

Facing University College in the semi-finals we were shocked by the flair and talent UC possessed. Defending most of the game, one lucky break off a ricochet sealed a 1-0 victory for the team. It wasn’t the most convincing performance but at the end of the day the only stat that matters are the goals.

Playing the finals on a Friday night under the lights had the team excited but nervous. With awful weather conditions, although Queens were the better team on paper, it was anyone’s game to win. Playing in front of a huge crowd, the boys did not disappoint, putting their bodies on the line and absorbing the pressure all game. After a goalless game, it was to be decided in penalties. Our very own Frenchmen stood up to take a penalty, only to blast it 5 metres too high and lose us the shootout.

Regardless of the result, it was an absolutely unreal season, setting the bar for the future years to come. A huge thank you to our coaches Marcus Soon and Eirik Bugge for their inspirational half time talks and setting up the goals every morning.

WOMEN’S SOCCER bea hart|vice captain Soccer this year was a whirlwind of emotions to say the least. We kicked off with a ripper start winning our first few games under the careful leadership of wonderful captain Millie Klingbeil! We trained hard, fast and few which set us up brilliantly for the season. There were many highlights but some of the most outstanding are as follows. Our winning goals were repeatedly scored by super star Jaz de Busch which left the rest of the forward line feeling a little bit overshadowed. Our passionate coaches Sophie, Lyla, Henry and Eirik pushed us into the semi-finals, always turning up to games and training in the most amazing attire. Unfortunately we lost in the semi-finals, and we are trying dreadfully hard not to place blame on Fresher sportswoman of the year Jord’an Holloway Clarke for rocking up halfway through the game after a rather big night before. At least we had a goal keeper for the second half... Ex Captain Marli Mathewson was as per usual a superstar on the pitch. All of the freshers were fast and furious and as a team we worked very well together. Overall, we had a successful season with laughs both on and off the pitch!

MEN’S HOCKEY angus mackey|captain

HO

The 2018 Hockey season was a truly successful and enjoyable season that I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of. The year started better than recent years, with enough players trying out that we were able to put together an entire squad. After an intense preseason period in which we were able to teach all of the rules and abilities to new players, as well as hone the skills of those who were more experienced at the sport, even winning our practice match against Newman 6-0. With this convincing win under our belts, the boys were confident going into the first match against Queens. Whilst we were expecting an easy win, the Queens boys despite having less experienced hockey players than us, put on a very gutsy and aggressive performance, getting the jump on us in the first half. Credit to the Trinity boys, we managed to recompose ourselves and secure a 2-0 win. From here we played St Mary’s college, who had two stellar players, supplemented by some less co-ordinated units, resulting in an interesting yet onesided game of hockey, resulting in a 4-0 win.

CK

From here we had the Semi-final against St Hilda’s, a game which we knew would be a serious challenge. With some genius coaching from Trinity Alumni Tyson Holloway-Clarke, we were able to employ the dirty yet efficient strategy of getting a quick goal in early, then parking the bus and wasting time for the remaining 35 minutes, allowing us to scrape a 1-0 win. With a clean sheet thus far, the boys were excited for the Grand Final to be played against our rivals and last year’s premiers, Ormond. We were aware that their team had a greater number of actual hockey players, but prided ourselves on our superior cohesion as a team and passion. The match was played on a Sunday night, with a sizable and energetic Trinity crowd which made the match an exhilarating and amazing experience. Both teams brought a skilful and passionate brand of hockey from the outset of the match, with the majority of the first half being very even. Unfortunately an Ormond player managed to slot a very accurate strike from the top of the D towards the end of this half, resulting in us trailing 1-0 at half time. After a reassessment of our game plan, and reinvigorating speech from Tys, we managed to begin the second half with more energy and ticker than the Ormond squad, and our efforts were rewarded with a short corner goal to equalise with 10 minutes to go. What followed was some of the scrappiest hockey I have witnessed, in which every single player gave their absolute all for their team and college, an effort which I could not have been prouder of as both a captain and fellow player.

EY

Unfortunately, what followed was a skilful deflection from an Ormond striker to nutmeg our keeper, with mere minutes to go. A silver medal is always a very difficult result to stomach, however I firmly believe that the performance which the boys put on throughout the season, and in the Grand final especially was one that was truly commendable. I was continually impressed by skills and ticker which each and every one of the boys showed, and had an absolute ripper time off the field to match. I’d like to thank Tyson Holloway-Clarke for contributing more to Trinity hockey over his years than any other person in recent memory, and to my Vice Captain Tom McMahon for his help throughout the season, when he was able to wake up in time. Good luck to the boys of next year, the flag is well within your grasp.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY dani clinton|captain The 2018 Women’s hockey season was one which will remain in the hearts and minds of all those involved for years to come. Following on from our tragic loss in the semi-finals last year, we made an executive decision to foster a hockey culture of comradeship and dedication, only to find ourselves in the exact same position as last year in the nail biting penalty shoot outs of the semi-finals.

We were lucky enough to have a group of talented, devoted and enthusiastic players who all proved themselves as exceptional members or the team. Bea Hart lead the way both on and off the pitch with her sleeky stick skills, while facilitating the accumulation of numerous goals. The forward line also comprised of the drive and determination and spirit of those such as Grace Clarke, Lily Richard and Hayley Dare, whose presence undoubtedly terrified the opposition. And of course, Nina Brown, whose love of the game and sublime skills proved to be an irreplaceable force on the front line.

Millie Klingbeil who demonstrated her prowess at yet another sport, demonstrated some real sticky candy out on the pitch. Lucy Maclachlan, whose self-belief and compassionate nature facilitated the functioning of the team, of course the speed and agility of Millie Macdonald, the mean skills of Coco O’Halloran, and sassy banter of Gabie le Miere.

Claudia Martin who stunned us with her bullet like hits as well as her inability to stop apologising. This was balanced by the presence of Claudia Cameron and Emma Bond as their wisdom, competitive nature and love of sport provided the team with the energy and determination it needed to function.

It would be impossible for me to forget the unstoppable force of Katie Roche and Annie Hoy in the backline. Despite Annie’s unfortunate injury throughout the season, she made a comeback in the final match and thanks to their enduring aggression, the defence line was able to successfully shutdown any attempt made by the opposition. We couldn’t have done it without the banterous comments but also the infectious enthusiasm and support of Jordan Holloway-Clarke from the goals, as well as providing constant entertainment to the team.

Last but not least to the coaches and general support staff. A very special thank you to Tyson Holloway Clarke, Angus Mackey, and Kate Morris. Without your wise words, support, organisation and love of the game I can confidently say that the team would not have accomplished what it did without you guys. Thank you to everyone, it was an absolute privilege to be your captain and fellow player. I feel honoured to have known and played with a group of tenacious, inspiring and strong individuals.

ATHLETICS & SQUASH ATHLETICS CARNIVAL claudia trotter, dani clinton & sam hannah|captains We had a fantastic athletics season with over forty members participating in the carnival in both track and field. It was amazing to see the huge range of talent, particularly in the Freshers, and we were so impressed with the level of participation and enthusiasm displayed on the day. Athletics is one of those difficult sports to feel motivated for, especially when the mornings started getting chilly, but thank you to those who put in the effort by going for a jog around the track or hitting the gym. We had a few standout performances- to Kate Morris who stepped in at the last minute to run the 3km, as well as Ed Beischer who ran an incredible 9-minute 3km to win the boy’s race. Also, on the day we had Zac Hamilton Russell, Lachie Randello and Gee Smith also winning their individual heats. With the help of Russell Grimwade and Jordan Holloway Clarke we also successfully managed to capture the Ormond Bee Head and hung it high and proudly on Trinity grounds. We wish our captains Ed Beischer and Victoria Annett and vice captains Lachie Randello and Millie Macdonald all the best for 2019 and we hope they can lead us to a victory.

SQUASH oliver hendricks|captain Squash began as a surprise to everyone. With a late start to the season, there were a lot of questions around the college asking how squash is actually played. With “tennis in a room” as the standard answer, we began trails and selected a great team. A week later we could be found playing our first games on the courts. With the majority of the team never having actually played before, we advanced quickly through the season with many great matches, such as our 8-0 defeat against St Mary’s, allowing them only 54 points across 8 games. Unfortunately, we couldn’t beat the Ormond team in the semi-final, with the season ending in fourth place after a close loss to JCH. Overall, the season was hectic, but full of enthusiasm and great playing from everyone involved.

MEN’S FIRST EIGHT charlie baylis|captain

For the first time in four years, Trinity College triumphed in Men’s VIII Rowing, defeating Queens College in the final to claim victory.

Guided by the wisdom of Dave Anstee (TC 1987) and Andrew Tulloch (1987), who were members of the 89’ Trinity College winning crew, the crew gelled quickly, evolving into a crew with the ability to move harmoniously through the water.

This enabled the crew to propel themselves neck and neck with Ormond in the heat. Despite the Trinity cox’s best efforts to tell them not to, Ormond were rightfully disqualified for an invasion of Trinity’s lane. Trinity then defeated Queens College in the A final with ease to take out the 2018 Intercollegiate Men’s Regatta Final.

Trinity now have possession of the spectacular 40-kilogram Merv Higgins Memorial Shield, which can be seen hanging in the Junior Common Room.

There were many fine performances from all Trinity rowers, including a third place for the Women’s VIII who were beaten in the heat by Ormond who went on to win overall. The 2nds

VIII of both the boys and girls rowed respectively in very touch divisions. All rowers were supported by a huge turnout of supporters wearing Candystripes along the bank of the Yarra. The regatta overall was a huge success for Trinity, both with the support and results, exemplifying the College’s thriving sporting culture.

WOMEN’S FIRST EIGHT alice chirnside|captain This season began with a huge amount of interest which was super exciting, but also made it incredibly hard to pick final crews. The firsts season composed of 40% motivation, -10% bike culture, 15% questionable steering, 6% good banter and 55% anticipation for shums.

(Quick mafs does not equal 100%) We had two incredible coaches, Sir Davos and Modulus Jack who managed to get us down the course with some sort of technical style.

Unfortunately we didn’t come out with the win we wanted but are all extremely eager for next season and word has it Smytto has been going hard on the recruiting already. All together this season was filled with blood, sweat and beers.

MEN’S SECOND EIGHT lachlan randello|crew member What do you get when you throw nine testosterone filled boys with no rowing experience (and the promise of 150 college girls watching them walk around in zooties) into a boat and tell them to race? The Trinity Masters Rowing Crew!

An enormous range of talent and skill made up the Masters Crew for 2018, with the likes of Blake Reilly, Ed Prescott, Will Clarke and Colin Gifford having a strong understanding of the sport (and actually knowing how to row), while first-timer freshers Vaughan Marega, Henry Edwards, James Verheggen and myself were thrown into the back of the boat and told to pull for their lives. The crew then undertook a training routine that could only be compared to that of Rocky Balboa, with 5am wake ups for water sessions Monday to Friday and gym sessions mixed in between. The crew prepared excellently for the regatta and were raring to go come the Saturday of the competition.

The day of competition got off to a rough start, when in the morning time trials the crew were unfairly penalised for taking an incorrect route through the course in what has since been described as the biggest robbery since the 2003 Australian Idol final. The masters then had to put on a brave face and turn up for the C grade final and won convincingly against a weaker St Hilda’s First VIII, leaving the team as the fifth overall side in the second division.

Despite a rough morning, the crew made up for any shortcoming at SHUMS, led by a best on ground performance from coach Nick Billings. We look forward to seeing the crew together again next eyar, led by newly appointed captain Henry Edwards.

WOMEN’S SECOND EIGHT bridge armstrong|cox Good Morning Angelllssss!!!!!

Had such a great season with the best girls of the Yarra.

Kirsty, our stressed out stroke, followed by Hectiz Haz, power gun Nelo, screaming Issy, chilled out Emma, crab catching Chommerz, strong Wunsch and naughty Millie Mac. Oh and the amazing cox..!

Even though there were a few fights in the boat, we definitely pulled through on race day with Kirty’s oar breaking as we rowed up to the start line and Mrs Darling catching a crab and costing us the entire race…Just kidding, we still love you Emma - without you there would have been nothing to remember the race!

Love my girls and can’t wait for next year.

MEN’S RUGBY shawn ingle|captain

RUGBY & TOUCH

“The most anticipated event on the Crescent, the TrinityOrmond rugby game never fails to turn heads. Shrouded in centuries of folklore, the history of this great fixture is imbedded in the soul of every participant, a deep passion etched into their DNA.” - Samuel Miller (TC1738).

pieced together a touch of extraordinary skill with some raw athleticism to score a scintillating try: Neerim Callope connecting with Henry Moon to finish.

After 10 weeks of intense training, the boys brave enough to trial for Trinity’s rugby team had transformed into largely inexperienced yet hardened warriors, men with relentless integrity and sheer determination. A formative journey had taken place. Under the guidance of a professionally-sized coaching crew and the tender loving care of our hydration team, we had all grown immensely as people. We were ready for battle. Following a strong start, we found ourselves behind after a strong surge from Ormond’s forwards pummelled through our defensive line. The game progressed blow-by-blow, tries being scored by both sides yet neither team giving an inch - a match hotly contested by the big units up front. Our pack locked horns with theirs, earning James Langley the valued Best-on-Ground for his efforts. However, Ormond did well to shut down our electric pace out wide, cutting our lifeline at its roots.

94 Countering with passion and fire, we

The world had shrunk into that 80 minutes of bone-jarring collisions and combatant warfare, concentrated into a single moment of time. As the Trinity faithful roared from the sideline, their blood boiling with rugby’s consumptive excitement, willing us on. When the final whistle blew, we lay exhausted – comforted not only by warm embrace of our fellow Trinitarians, but by the knowledge that we had given our all. Rugby was the real winner. Thanks to everyone involved – we fostered a genuine treat of a culture, travelled along the path of brotherhood and I loved every moment.

WOMEN’S TOUCH georgia smith|captain The 2018 Touch Football season was another one to add to the history books, but this time we won’t brag about it. But hey, we had a dope promo video as confirmed by previous TCAC member. Whilst we don’t have another win under our belt, I am so proud of the team for showing incredible love and support for one another despite Tayla Hind’s hectic work schedule. The level of intensity and competitiveness lifted to a height

never seen before on the touch footy pitch. Our team consisted of all different skill levels, from our fast-footed newbies to third years to those not as articulate as they should have been (peanut).

This year, we were extremely lucky to again be coached by Nelson Amber and big ol’ Niz, who played state - ask him about it, who taught us lots about chickens and roosters and not enough about pulling short-side.

The Rugby dinner was a huge success partly due to the overwhelming sense of comradery and support shown by our Ormond friends. Huge thanks to the ladies for making this season another one to remember.

Girls should feel incredibly proud of all of your work throughout the season. Fingers crossed, next year will be another one for Trinity and one to add to the books. Much love for you all!

MEN’S FIRSTS FOOTY alex gall

The men’s firsts AFL season was quick, strong and full of motivation. Winning all games to get into the grand final, everyone was hopeful we could bring the trophy home. The grand final between Trinity and Ormond was set up to be a fiercely contested game, reflecting the hard work and determination shown by both teams throughout the season. The men’s firsts were buoyed by the women’s crushing victory and approached their game with an intense desire to win. Fortitude shown from the defenders and a crosswind meant that marking contests Inside 50 were messy and shots on goal were inaccurate. The discipline shown by the Trinity team was honorable with Ormond receiving a yellow card and committing up ards of high tackles during the ga e Oscar Dowd kicked Trinity’s first two goals and looked very dangerous all game. The ruthlessness from midfielders James Wiffen and Will Foster spread throughout the team as we headed into three-quarter time in the lead.

A gallant last term ultimately wasn’t enough, with Ormond sealing victory by 7 points.

Special mention must go to the third-year vetera Matthew Blair and first-year Josh Murray, both playing half-back, because not only did they take numerous contested marks and dominated their direct opponents, but they used the ball efficiently, almost carrying us to victory. Let’s hope this fuels the hunger for next year’s football team. From all the players, thank you to all our supporters throughout the season, we will bring it home next season!

ALL STARS FOOTY will clarke|vice captain Despite a short season, the All Stars once again showed the other colleges that no matter what quality your lungs are in, you can still play a ripping game of footy.

With an extremely high performing one session pre-season, the boys in green were fired up and ready to take on UC, in which they secured a stunning victory of 20-36 our way.

This couldn’t have been achieved without some incredible performances from Guy Paul laying tackles left and right, Henry “Moony” Moon providing pace out of the contest no one could match, Simon Ferreira and Vaughan Marega kicking goals despite AFL not being their main sport, and Hamish “Goon” Gunasekara dishing out fenders and “don’t argues” so well that NFL has asked if he’s available to play.

Alas it was up to the heroic freshers and the wise mentoring from Tom Kerrigan to lead the charge against IH, because at this stage third year is basically a myth. Tragically, the All Stars failed to keep IH at bay, and were overtaken at the end to deliver the final score of 12-20. It was later determined that this loss was due to Alex “Cougar” Coughlin trying to introduce actual AFL tactics in an All Stars match.

Above all, the All Stars have had a spectacular season and I wish all of them the best in their future sporting endeavours. Because whilst the All Stars may lack fitness, understanding of the rules, or any ball handling skills, the mateship and inclusive attitude continues to make the Stars shine.

With our first win in tow, our glorious leadership team of Angus Mackey, Ted Wyles, Guy Paul and Will Clarke were so proud of the lads and couldn’t wait to play the next game, that most of them didn’t even play the next game.

2018 was an extremely exciting and successful year for the Trinity girls football team, with us winning our third premiership in a row! Whilst a relatively short season, it was full of great emotion and enthusiasm right from the start, with over 50 girls trying out for the team.

This enthusiasm continued into our first game where we played Saint Hildaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

This proved to beone of our tougher games, but we pulled through and managed to win by 2 or 3 goals. Just 5 minutes later we played International House. Our teamwork and skills proved to be superior, as we ended up winning 82-0. Special mention to Bella Nichols for getting roughly 47 points during this game. This marked the end of our first weekend of games, leaving us excited and nervous to see what was to come.

A couple weeks later, we had the semi-final, where we played Queens. We went

hard from the start and with the help of Billie Metselaarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely intimidating full-face face paint, we managed to get the win. This left us with just the Grand Final to go, the only thing that stood between us and celebratory beers on the Bul, was Ormond. Ormond had stripped us of premierships time and time again this year, but not this one. We fought hard and ended up winning 36-0. I can honestly say this was a true team effort, as every single player played their role to perfection, with great run and carries in the mid, some amazing marks and snaps in the forward and unrivalled intensity and aggression seen by the backs.

It was a true honour to be able to play alongside such an awesome group of girls and to be led by our amazing and inspiring coaches, Jessica Anderson, Douglas Briggs and James Wiffen. Also big thanks to our water girls Ruhisha Eesha and Anna McGinley, hydration is key.

SWIMMING Kate Haig| Swimming Captain The swimming season this year was a big success, getting a full team full of excited girls and guys heading to MSAC to compete at the beginning of semester 2. With only a few mistakes on the day, such as travelling on a supporter’s bus and being slightly late, as well as a few people missing races, all in all we were pretty pleased with how it all ran. Whilst our potential lack of practice may have been evident in the results, coming second last, our support for each other was like no other college. We were there to yell encouragement at every person swimming, whether it was the event they were trained for or not. Everyone’sattitudes on the day made the whole night so much fun.

Overall, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing group of people to swim with.

WOMEN’S FIRSTS NETBALL ruby meredith|captain

NETBALL

2018 for the firsts netball team was looking promising - we had new dresses, new training tops and four talented freshers bringing new skills and knowledge to the team. At the warm up before our first match, we had players meeting for the first time and a few girls looking defeated from the Back2School party the night before. Despite these tough conditions, our first game was reflective of the season to come - a high quality match with strict umpires.

All training sessions, thanks to the construction of the new building replacing Dorothy, as well as the TCAC credit card, were spent out of the cold and instead inside Melbourne University Sport Centre. No doubt enhancing our performance, we were victorious in all games except for one draw and one loss. Every person in this team stepped up when required, accepting a last-minute allocation to a secondary position.

Unfortunately, our semi-final was unsuccessful, leaving us in third place overall. The play-off for third position was the most exceptional and intense game of the entire season.

102

Mentionable moments include Chloe Page feeling faint and leaving us with only six players on the court, myself being thrown into GK (for the record I am approximately 160cm tall), Xanthe on the bench after rolling her

ankle for the second season in a row, Scotty shouting from the sideline, and playing overtime only to win by two goals.

The effort displayed in this game gives me confidence that next year we will bring the flag back home.

WOMEN’S SECONDS NETBALL lily harrison|captain The seconds had an awesome season, they made it to the semi-final and had some massive wins (including our post Senior Student win against Ormond). Unfortunately, Hilda’s got us in the semi-final, but we fought hard and played a great game of netball. To Kate and Sarah, our ace shooters who worked really well together in the ring. To Georgie and Charlotte, our gun mid courters!! To Alice, Harriet and Tiahna, our fierce defenders who had incredible intercepts every game. And lastly to Caris, who was more than happy to go anywhere and played always with great skill and determination. Thank you so much to everyone in the team for making the season so much fun and for always playing your best!

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL adrian sarstedtand & lachie williams During the week season a great team culture and spirit was formed. Early morning wakeups and banter was followed up with consistent volleyball that ultimately lead to a victorious season, dropping no sets. Wiff and Nizz once again showcased their surreal athletic ability in Trinity colours.

Not only did they provide plenty of big hits, they offered the leadership and positive team culture that ultimately lead to our victory. A notable mention goes out to newcomer Jamo, who neglected to attend any tryouts yet still made the team and earnt MVP honours. His co-star, Sam served as a role model for all, attending every training session, helping teammates with their form and consistently setting up plenty of big hits. Dai the Digger, showcased his consistent hitting motion and provided a spark off the bench, proving Neerim’s famous words. Shawn Ingle had impacts both on and off the court, with his handsome hits consistently drawing crowds of 3. Shout out to Ed for running 10km before every game and being consistent on the bench. Zac managed to balance his music, romantic and sporting commitments perfectly, making all parties happy.

Cheers to the boys.

This year’s women’s volleyball season saw a huge amount of talent among the members of our team. Starting off strong by winning every set for our first three games, it was an unprecedented streak for Trinity’s volleyball girls. The flawless sets from Billie Metselaar and Tiahna Oxenham lead to some incredible spikes from our front court.

Charlotte Hartley, Kate Morris, Britney Andrews and Jaz Thompson, our fabulous all-rounders, put themselves on the line to ensure that we held our own against some extremely talented opposition. Jemma Morris, next year’s captain and one of our best hitters, never failed to impress with one of the most powerful serves of the season, as did Millie Klingbeil by delivering the deepest underarm serve college volleyball has ever seen. In the semi-finals we encountered our first challenge, playing set for set against Newman College. After a two-hour game, we got the win three sets to two.

Our grand final was equally as close.

Another long game, the Trinity girls tested Kendal’s talents point for point, unfortunately missing out by just four points in the fifth set after an extremely tough game. Overall, it was a great season of which the girls should be very proud.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL lilli vagnarelli|captain

BALLS

Women's Basketball was one of the most successful female sports this year. Winning the Grand Final comfortably thanks to Millie Klingbeil's continuous 3-point plays. Many thanks to the two lovely coaches, AIS basketball coach Adrian Newall and elite sports woman Iffy Donnellan. The team showed exceptional determination and played cohesively together to beat Queens (who Trinity lost to last year by 2 points). Bring on the 2019 season!

BAD MIN TON THE TEAM simon ferreira william hua leo li jonathan ta henry moon lucy glover lily harrison mia purvis sophie sitch charlotte verley

BADMINTON leo li | captain Fuelled by residual memories from high school, the most prestigious sport on the Crescent started off with a short pre-season in which cobwebs were swept away and many an ego was brought back onto the main-stage. It was an exciting prospect to have ex-Trinity icon and badminton extraordinaire Marcus Soon coach the team. Upon announcement of the team, the season was underway and excitement was racing. Sophie Sitch quickly earned herself the nickname “The Punisher” for her relentless aggression on the mixed doubles court, whilst Lily Harrison and Mia Purvis proved a formidable duo, suffering a very narrow loss in the doubles. An unfortunate 3-2 loss to Queens and 5-0 win over

106

JCH saw us enter the Quarter Finals against a star-studded International House. Simon Ferreira quickly demolished their Men’s singles, whilst we suffered losses in the women’s singles and doubles, but clutched a win in Men’s Doubles to keep our hopes alive. It was down to the mixed, but unfortunately William Hua and partner Mia Purvis suffered a tight loss, knocking us out much earlier than anticipated. It was a pleasure to captain badminton this year. Congratulations to Simon Ferreira for staying undefeated the whole season to claim the MVP, and all the best to him and Mia for the following season.

SEMESTER TWO EVENTS SEMESTER TWO EVENTS SEMESTER TWO EVENTS SEMESTER TWO EVENTS 110

MID YEAR Mid-year O-week kicked off with a bang as the fresh-freshers, adorned in our academic gowns, were treated to drinks in the deanery followed by our first fireside chat. Fire ablaze, the aroma of rich mahogany permeating our nostrils, the supple leather of the Junior Common Room couches against our skin, we were enchanted by Gayle’s insights on the exhumation and reburial of Richard III. We were beginning to realize what to expect from life at our new home.

Our initial impression of the scholarly world of Trinity was quickly shattered the following day. Prepping for the big day ahead, the jesters meant business, providing us a ‘corporate breakfast’ that featured all of the major food groups: Nutri-Grain, waffles and crumpets. Even our daily fruit intake was met in the form of Mixed Berry Passion Pop – the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.

We then spent the day at the mercy of Gally and GRob as they paraded us around the Uni campus, the highlight performing the notorious fresh-fresher dance to Clean Bandit and Demi Lovato’s hit single ‘Solo’ in front of a packed Union House. The experience gave us all a taste of what to expect as stale-freshers during O-week next year, where the embarrassment will be turned up a notch as we dance our way through the Melbourne CBD. As the weekend arrived and returning students started to trickle in, the wine tour allowed us to familiarise ourselves with some of the many unique personalities that reside at Trinity, namely Guy Paul and his extensive wine knowledge, Kate Morris’ tendency to stay well hydrated and Alex Trett’s unrelenting eagerness to skull a birthday beer.

In just a few short days, friendships were forged that would have otherwise taken months to develop, and each fresh-fresher felt a strong sense of belonging within the Trinity family. I managed to fall in love with a beautiful girl, from the first day I stepped into the Trinity gates. As soon as our eyes met, there was an immideate spark and I knew.. she was the one. As they say, you’ll bound to find your future partner in Trinity, and I found mine.

The speed with which we were able to immerse ourselves into college life is a testament to the hard work of the TCAC, jesters and O-week buddies in ensuring our transition was as smooth as possible, for which we are all incredibly grateful.

White

ER Dear Old College,

I am delighted and so, so proud to unveil the ER White selection for 2018.

I know that many in the college aren’t aware of what ER White actually is, so here’s just a brief history of the little-known institution that holds understated significance within our community.

In the 1950s, a still-life painting by John Black called ‘The Breakfast Table’ was donated to the College in memory of a former Senior Student, Edward Rowden White. John Brack never painted for the crowds - he wasn’t a pop artist, and didn’t paint to fill his pocket. It was perhaps for this reason that The Breakfast Table was unpalatable to the College at the time: it was deemed too adventurous and subsequently sold.

With the permission of Edward Rowden White’s family, a fund was established with the proceeds, which grants a sum to students each year to contribute modern Australian art to a student-led collection.

To me, this meant our 2018 selection needed to be relevant, poignant, and meaningful. It needed to reflect and tackle important conversations that we are having right now.

Your committee of Alex Kupa, Alex Trett, Emily Harding, Izzy Abel, Lucy MacLachlan and myself, decided the 2018 purchase would be 2 works by the renowned Indigenous Australia photo media artist, Danie Mellor. The works are titled,

A lakeside romance and We shared the sound of a dream.

These works are uncomfortable, unnerving narratives of the intersections between the indigenous and the intruder. There is a focus on blue and white imagery - reminiscent of traditional English chinoiserie dinner plates your grandparents may still own, cultural artifacts that are identifiably European which commoditized ‘exotic’ environments and cultures. Mellor has written that the blue and white “indicates a European footprint and gaze,” where the image depicted in blue and white is a European perception of reality. The skull and body you will see in the 2 works are depicted in grayscale, blending in and integrating yet distinct and natural and real. The works seem to suggest that Indigenous peoples and their cultures have a continue presence, and their connection to their land has an enduring strength, despite the damage and interruption caused by European invasion.

They also document the internal struggles of an artist who has felt the privilege his physical whiteness grants him, yet who holds a a deep emotional and spiritual connection to a people that continue to be persecuted in their own country.

The works are satellites of a larger collection of Danie Mellor’s art that is International renowned and highly-sought after. His paintings and photography are held in collections around the world and Mellor is considered one of the most influential photographers in Australia. His work will join similarly significant photographic works in the ER White collection by Anne Zahalka, Tracy Moffatt and Bill Henson. His works also reside in the National Galleries of Australia, Canada and Scotlan.

Indeed, while the two works we have bought are small, they are arguably some of the most important pieces of Australian art ever made. I implore you all to seek them out in the coming weeks before the end of term.

I also encourage you to seek out other works in the Collection. It is such a significant one, and it belongs to every person here tonight and will continue to be ‘yours’ even after you leave this place. Sloth or blue and white rainforest, these works reflect us and our interests, our concerns and our passions as a body of students in a particular time and space.

Thank you for indulging me, and for trusting the Committee with the Collection and its money. I hope you appreciate our choice and look forward to seeing it in person.

~~RHINO CEROS RHINOCEROS THEPLAY

JAMES RIDDELL- CLARKIPRODUCER This year we perform ed Rhinoc eros, an absurdist comedy by French playwright Eugene Ionesco. The show was a massive success thanks to incred ible hard work and dedication from eve1yone involved.

Leading performances were amazing all around : J oe Carbone "method acting" as a drunk; Vaughan Mar cga looking like a pro in his first ever time on stage; Soph ie Goodin killing it in every scene; and Morgan Galea as himself: Th e real highlights were the supportin g cast: Gab ie Le Miere, O scar Yenken, Paul-Mari e Beau, Jam es Verheggen, Claudia Trotter, Phoebe Edwards and Breadman -Pri brought insane energy and chaos to the open ing scene, while Anna McGinlcy, Grace Burke, Chat H artley, J emma Morris, Miles Donnellan

and Anthony 0 ' eil had peop le pissing them selves laughing in the later scenes. J ames Langely also played a very convincing Rhinoceros and thankfully didn't break too much. I' m so thankful to have gotte n to work with such an amazing and spectacular group of people.

This year was also different as we had a Fresher in the role of Director, Will H ansen handled this intimid at ing role like a professional and the play wouldn't have been as good as it was without him. Also props to Will Clarke for basically holding the entire play together, it would have fallen apart without him.

With such a great team, and the loss of only one door and one cat, I'd say this show was a pretty big success.

VALEDIC I know you all thought you’d heard the last announcement, post, email and message from me. But I promise this will definitely be my last.

I really did not know how I was going to write an upbeat hopefully amusing yet equally sincere recap of our 3 years at college. Mostly because we were a notoriously small year group. And with our small size, we were quickly condemned for not having enough “College Spirit”. But I think we were quick to start proving them wrong.

Alex Trett was quick to make communication easier, utilising the Facebook video call feature. Whether next door, down the corridor or a 200m away on the other side of campus, Trett made sure every fresher was easily contactable. Imogen Corker could be heard around Uni with a YAS QUEEN to everyone from Trinity as they walked past. And a late addition in Week 6 filled our buckets with the arrival of Kate Morris.

Our mid-year freshers brought with them a lot of cultural diversity. Tiff would lead our cohort to Arc more times in 3rd year than the collective Melbourne grammar boys went in year 12 and Emily Harding, hailing for London’s Elite let us know that “this isn’t how we do things back home”.

Cam Barr became a star on the football field, and Tansy was your go-to woman for any academic questions.

First year turned to second and with it, this outstanding group of young individuals decided it was time to up the ante. Georgia Smith made a name for herself with the inauguration of a Female Touch Rugby team and with Claudia Cameron organised the first ever Trinity International Women’s day breakfast. Nathan’s hidden beatboxing 130

talents were discovered, Matthew Blair became the world wide number 1 user of snapchat and Caitlin Tjandra declared herself now, and forever more the Cutest Girl at College.

We had mystery, with members of top Jeop only rumoured to exist outside of their Corridor and Ollie & Sean deciding it was time to pay closer attention to the Tiger Tones balance sheet.

And of course we had our hardships with almost as many injuries as memes made by Paul Marie, Hugo Beinvenue, rumoured to be “One of the finest sportsmen ever to attend Trinity” will finish his time at College with 6 runs to his name, a cricket ball to the face, a broken wrist and a full knee reconstruction.

Second year was a time of growth, many of us starting to pick our majors, and settle into College life. Other’s began to find solace in one of Charles Wylie’s rave caves or on the not-so lonely walk back to bottom Jeop accompanied by Nikki, Imogen, Sauce and of course Mullins.

Extreme passion, outstanding charisma and notable drive was the foundation of the year group and it was with all of these traits Ted Wyles was elected as our Senior Student.

Being given the diagnosis of Glandular Fever only days after the election could not have been easy, but it was a good thing Ted was used to sleepless nights as he wholehearted lead us into our third year.

We were small but mighty- with Xanthe keeping us updated on her exchange through all social media platforms, our collective group was closer than we could have ever imagined. Reegan Quick had quietly achieved more in 3 years than some of us may achieve in a lifetime and we were all asking the question Who are you and what have you done to Ardeshir.

CTORIAN But with 78 collective trips to Europe between us, we all had a lot to bond over. It was a clear testament to the careful precision to which our year group was made. With a clever 4:2:1 ratio, the resourceful Melbourne Private School to Perth Private School to Gippsland intake had well and truly flourished. With this I refer to a couple things:

The experience weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had at Trinity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen on its own. It is the hard work of some pretty key individuals that have helped shape and define our growth over these last 3 years. Em Dawson, there is not one person at this College has not been touched by your presence here. And we want to recognise you along with Adrian, Naomi & Tam for your continuing connection with the residential student body through your unwavering support. It is unparalleled and the work you do makes a difference to our lives every day. Scotty Charles, you are such a calming figure ready to help anyone having a crisis about their future and spread a little more College Spirt.

Gayle and Campbell, keeping the 280 or so of us in line cannot be easy. Your ability to keep cool heads when graced with our ignorance and share our successes has allowed us all to mature throughout our time here. But beyond you all, there are all the Staff who work in the kitchen, buildings, grounds, library, finance and accounts departments. Our time at Trinity would not be what it is without your commitment to us. From the bottom of all of our hearts. Thank you.

To the first and second years. Never forget what it means to be at Trinity. We are so incredibly lucky to share the bond we all do. Whether you are staying for another year or moving on, Trinity will always be a part of who you are, and help will never be far away.

In the biggest clique of College, I think it was safe to say none of us were quite ready for what signing our name in the admissions book really meant. We were then, continue to be now and forever more will be, a Trinitarian.
