The Holy Trinity School Board met for its second meeting of Term 1 on Wednesday 11 April, at the end of a busy Term 1. We welcomed three new Board members – Ms Chloe Stoddart; Ms Natalie Roche; and Mr Scott Pearsall.  All three bring very good experience and qualifications to the Board, and they will provide important continuity as Board members retire at the end of this year, as well as being important voices for parents on the Board.

Mrs Brearley and Miss Smith briefed the Board on their recent visit to Singapore to take part in International Baccalaureate 50^th Anniversary Global Conference in March.  The conference was a very enriching experience for both, and as a Board we are very pleased to support the activity. 

The Parish Priest of the Parish of the Transfiguration, Monsignor John Woods, also spoke to the Board on his initial impressions of the interaction between the Parish and Holy Trinity, and we will work with him over the coming months to strengthen engagement between the two, in advancing our joint mission of bringing the Good News of Jesus to all parts of our lives.  

Please remember that if there are any issues which you would like to bring to the attention of the Board, do not hesitate to contact me on john.owens@bigpond.com, or bring them to the attention of Mrs Brearley. 

I would like to thank all concerned for your efforts over Term 1 in giving Holy Trinity School and ELC a great start to 2018, especially those who have contributed through volunteering at Tuckshop, movie nights, welcome barbecues, working bees and all the other ways in which we build our community at Holy Trinity. 

I would also like to wish everyone a great holiday, and look forward to seeing as many as I can in Term 2.

Yours in Faith, Hope and Love

John Owens

Chair, Holy Trinity School Board
