A beautiful setting for a beautiful day!
From the Parents’ Association As we begin the 2022 school year, on behalf of the Parents’ Association (PA), I extend a warm welcome to new families and to those families returning to another year at Trinity Grammar School. Once again in 2021, we were separated from each other due to lockdowns and we have been reminded about the importance of human connection. Those of you who were able to volunteer your time at the Founders’ Day Fair provided our community with a feeling of belonging and offered comfort in tough times. The Fair demonstrated, by the incredible level of attendance,

the importance of being together at community events. OTGs, grandparents, parents, carers, students and staff were involved in both the preparation and the various activities throughout the day, as well as turning up and enjoying the many things that the Fair has to offer. A microcosm of all that goes on is the Fine Foods stall, whose organisers begin getting ready early in the year. Cooking days are planned when fabulous chutneys and pickles and jams are prepared using the fresh produce that is generously donated over many months. Look out for dates in the Trinity News.
The 2022 annual Founders’ Day Fair will take place on Sunday 13 November. The Fair Committee looks forward to the involvement of all in our community, whether it is taking ownership of an existing stall or coming forward with the new ideas which make this community event different every year. More than 125 mothers and carers from across all year levels were treated to a fantastic spring Oaks Day Luncheon. An enormous thank you to the committee: Louise Burnett, Melissa Gallace, Mandy Warren, Suzanne Smith, Fiona Evans and Jo Harris. The event evolved and the timeline was amended as they worked through the challenges of the pandemic. The opportunity for the community to come together was well received. Highlights of the day included door prize raffles, which were made possible by the generosity of our partners and Trinity family businesses. To top it all off, entertainment was provided by a fantastic DJ and a surprise Flash Mob!
