Civilisation evolves through exploration and discovery 

Our Lines of Inquiry are:

• Peoples histories shape identity
• Discoveries and explorations create change
• Function of civilisation.     We have been researching an ancient civilisation of our choice and looking at how we can use factual events to tell stories about history. We wanted to know how these people lived, what made them a part of that civilisation, power and what they invented that is still used in our world today. We created draft 1 with our original ideas and went through the editing process and with teacher and peer feedback created draft 2. Once changes had been made and we were happy with our final edits we PUBLISHED.

Thank you 4 Red! 

Dear Families,

Welcome to Term 3, Week 9! I know, it sounds crazy we're here already. Thinking about what to share with you this week, I couldn't help but reflect on all the additional 'non classroom' activities our wonderful Holy Trinity staff undertake, all in the name of continuous learning for our precious children.

At the recent Board meeting, we all heard about the many things our teachers and staff have been doing, including:

* preparing and presenting the First Eucharist parent information session;

* presence and support at a number of First Eucharist Presentation Masses;

* preparation for Grandparents Day;

* participation in Key Leaders' Day with a focus on Faith in Learning;

* a number of well-being programs that cater for all years;

* self-study in preparation for our IB evaluation next year;

* parent information sessions for Year 6 Exhibition;

* support for Tournament of the Minds;

* numerous lunchtime clubs;

* Kindy orientation preparation for Term 4;

* not to mention, making our children happy to go to school every day and come home with stories of fun, laughter and learnings (OK, so I added this one myself!).

It's these things that may seem small to the staff, but to families, it's what makes Holy Trinity a community we are proud and honoured to be a part of. We don't need our child to directly benefit from one of these activities in order to realise and feel the impact. 

Thank you to the wonderful school leadership group, and to all the teachers and staff. What would we do without you! We appreciate you, and we are so very grateful for you. 

I hope all members of our community have an opportunity to enjoy a break before next Term, and enjoy some special time with loved ones. Hold them close. Take care, and I hope to see you all soon.

A massive congratulations to those students who represented Holy Trinity on Tuesday the 12th of September at the ACT Athletics Championships. We had 7 students who qualified for the event, with some terrific results. Some special mentions go to Milla G who placed 1st in both the 8-Year-Old Girls 70 meter and 100-meter sprints, and to George L who placed 1st in the 8-Year-Old Boys 70-meter sprint and 3rd in the 8-Year-Old Boys 100 meter sprint. These are amazing results, and we watch with enthusiasm as these two students’ progress further with their running in the years to come. National Championships are only for those students in the year groups 10-12, so this is where the journey ends for both Milla and George this year, but no doubt we will see them on this stage soon. Well Done to all. For all of these students to place in the top 20 in the ACT is something we should all be very proud off.
