Congratulations to the Class of 2018 Headmaster Phil De Young and Chair of School Council, John Gillam, with High Achievers Ethan Hunt, William Song, Dominic Marshall, Will Murphy, Hugo Miric, Jack Crozier, Avisha Wijeyaratne, Tom Boyd, George Mildred-Short and Nathan Savundra-Shepherd (Absent: Sam Li).
Trinity is proud of the achievements of all members of the Class of 2018. These young men contributed to the life of the School over many years, and in a variety of ways. In his speech congratulating these boys, Headmaster Phil De Young noted the significant level of their involvement when he said: ‘The VCE results of the Class of 2018 are only a snapshot of these boys’ time at Trinity, and while ATAR scores are important, they are by no means the only measure by which we should judge a Trinity boy at the end of his time with us.’ On these pages, we especially celebrate the success of those boys who achieved at the highest levels in their VCE. The accomplishments of these students extend not only to dedication and prowess in their academic endeavours, but also to their deep commitment to so many aspects of School life. They were School leaders; involved in sports teams, music and dramatic productions; outdoor education and mentoring programs; St Paul’s choristers; they were artists; debaters; and writers for The Mitre. Like all the boys in the Class of 2018, they took ownership of their School, and they enriched its offerings through their participation.
