FRIDAY 14TH NOVEMBER 2014
FROM THE MASTER OF THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4
REMEMBRANCE DAY 2014
On Tuesday the School paused at 11am to observe Remembrance
Day. A service was held at the front of the Llandilo building adjacent
to the flagpoles. A Catafalque Party of Senior School Cadets
paraded before the School and Spiro Christopoulos read the
honour roll of Old Boys’ killed in service of their country. As each
name was read, a boy from Pre-Kindergarten placed a hand-made
poppy into the ground in front of the flagpoles in a moving tribute to
former Trinitarians. John Varvaris (6Sc) played the Last Post and
Reveille superbly to complement the service. It is important that
this generation of students understands the significance of these
National days of commemoration and the School ensures that we
facilitate this process.
Orientation Day will be held next Friday (21st November). On
this day all boys will move into their 2015 class groupings and as
such arrangements for the day are quite different to the regular
programme. A letter was sent out earlier in the term outlining
arrangements and there is additional information contained later in
this newsletter. The key groups where there is a change are; PreKindergarten 2014 (report to Milverton undercroft), Kindergarten
2014 (classes start at 8:45am and boys report to Milverton
undercroft. Classes finish at 3pm), Year 1 2014 (classes start at
8:30am and boys report to the Joske Playground), Year 2 2014
(boys report to the Llandilo Back playground and classes finish for
the day at 3:15pm), Year 6 2014 (boys go to Summer Hill for the
Year 7 Orientation programme).
As I mentioned earlier this term, Speech Day will be held during the
afternoon at Summer Hill on Thursday 4th December beginning at
2:30pm. All boys in Years 3 – 6 report to Summer Hill at 1:30pm.
This event is compulsory for all boys in Years 3 – 6. OSHClub
will be providing Vacation Care on Thursday for all families at the
Preparatory School who need this service. However, families with
boys in Years 3 – 6 need to be aware that they would need to
collect their son from the OHC room and deliver them to Summer
Hill for Speech Day at 1:30pm. Bookings for this day are essential

Congratulations to all of the boys who participated in the House
Tennis Championships on Monday and Tuesday at the
Trinity Tennis Centre. From all reports the games were played
in great spirit and the it was a closely contested competition.
Congratulations to Archer who are the House Tennis Champions
for 2015.
This Saturday is the last day of summer sport and I wish all
of our teams all the best for their matches. On the following
Saturday Year 3 will play their Football Gala Day at Bressington
Park.
The Year 6 boys will participate in the annual Year 6 Social on
Tuesday evening at Summer Hill. Year 6 girls and boys from
MLC, PLC, Meriden and Newington will come together for an
enjoyable night of dancing in the Gymnasium. I know that the
boys will have a great night.
On Wednesday some of the Year 6 boys will back up again
for the annual combined Cricket and Basketball matches
against the Year 7 teams at Summer Hill. Good luck to the boys
for these encounters.

FROM THE DEPUTY MASTER
FROM THE DEAN OF BOYS’ EDUCATION
YEAR 6 TRANSITION
We hope your son is excited about Orientation Day on Friday
21st November 2014. The class teachers are looking forward to
spending the day with your son. Please read this note carefully
so your son will be organised and prepared for the day.
The process of Year 6 boys moving from the familiar surroundings
of Primary schooling to the less familiar environment of
Middle and Senior schooling can evoke a variety of emotions,
behaviours and concerns, for both boys and parents. For many
it is considered a major stepping stone on the way to becoming
a young man. It is important that all Year 6 boys are given every
opportunity to make a strong start in Year 7 and are able to
maintain a sense of belonging and purpose, which are important
elements of their continued growth and development at Trinity.
If your son is in Year 2 to 6 (2015) they will need to arrive at
8:20am for an 8:30am start. Boys in Year 1 (2015) will start at
8:45am and Kindergarten (2015) at 9:00am.
Year 2 to 6 (2015) boys may play on the Basketball Court in front
of the Music Centre and in the Back Playground until the bell
rings. When the bell rings at 8:30am all boys in Year 3 to 6 will
assemble in the Back Playground and then walk to the Chapel
under the supervision of the year level teachers. Year 2 (2015)
students will need to line up in the Joske Playground and the
staff will walk them to the classrooms. From 8:30am students
in Kindergarten and Year 1 will be able to play on the Milverton
Tennis Court. The teachers will then take the boys to the
classrooms at 8:45am Year 1(2015) and 9:00am Kindergarten
(2015).
During this week and next, Year 6 boys are participating in a
range of activities that will build upon previous transition events
conducted during the year, including the Year 6 Parent Information
Evening, presentations from the Director of Studies, parent and
son breakfasts, the ‘Buildings, Routines, People’ programme,
and meetings with Middle School Housemasters. The activities
over the next two weeks involve Year 6 boys being exposed to
the co-curricular life of the Middle School as well as participating
in discussions about the pastoral and House system.
The teachers have lots of fun activities planned so please get
your son to bring his pencil case with the following items: a
lead pencil/pen, rubber, glue stick, small scissors and coloured
pencils.
Orientation Day on Friday 21st November will also be a wonderful
opportunity for Year 6 boys to experience the expectations and
responsibilities associated with daily life in the Middle School. It
is hoped that these transition activities provide Year 6 boys with a
sense of reassurance and excitement about the challenges and
opportunities that await them.
If your son is ordering lunch from the Canteen on Friday they
will be able to write the class on their order form once they know
which class they are in. Please do not get your son to take their
lunch order directly to the Canteen. You are able to still order
lunch through Flexischools, the School’s online ordering service.

On Thursday morning the Head Master, Mr Cujes, was thrilled
to accept a donation from one of our youngest Trinitarians.
Young Jack Cooper (Pre-K) wanted to contribute to the
development of our Aquatic Centre, so with his parents’
encouragement he worked doing odd jobs throughout the
year to save $101.50 in order do his part in making his School
a better place. This is quite an achievement on many levels,
but none more so than the fact that Jack was committed and
passionate enough to care about his School’s future. We are
all very proud of Jack for his initiative and donation. As the
Head Master and I have said many times… ‘Many hands
make light work; many donating will provide for our boys now
and into the future.’
School Prayer
TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL
We should all look to Jack as an inspiration, not just for his
donation, but for caring enough.
Parents and friends are most welcome to come and pray
for our boys and the School on Tuesdays, between 8.30am
and 9.30am. We meet at reception in the Joske Room
Strathfield.

FROM THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT
We were delighted to have the boys at the Preparatory School
perform in the Semester Two concerts last week. We enjoyed
beautiful performances and a variety of repertoires. Thank
you particularly to all the Music Staff and accompanists who
prepared the boys so ably and with such care. Thank you to
parents who attended and to all parents who support their sons
in their musical endeavours at Trinity.
Concert will commence at 9.45am and will last for approximately
half an hour. This concert will bring to a close the Year 2 String
programme for this year.
Just a reminder that if you would like your son to learn an
Instrument at the Prep in 2015, please fill in the necessary
instrumental forms which are available at the office. Any boy who
is continuing with lessons, also needs to complete one of these
forms.
We are looking forward to sharing our work with you. Thank you
very much for your support and encouragement this year.
YEAR 2 GROUP VIOLIN AND CELLO CONCERT
You are cordially invited to your son’s Year 2 Group Violin and
Cello Concert on Wednesday, 19th November 2014 in the
Mozart Room, Music Centre, Preparatory School Strathfield. The
I do encourage you to consider individual lessons for your son
next year. The boys have worked very well this Semester and
show a lot of promise.
With best wishes,
Nicole Smeulders | Acting Director of Preparatory School Music

Centennial Park Excursion
On Wednesday 12th of November Kindergarten went on a journey to Centennial Park. The boys were so excited! They
discovered and learnt about a colony of flying foxes, native birds and trees. The bus ride was such a thrill! They worked
in small groups to create an animal from logs, sticks and stones. This outdoor learning experience further developed the
boys learning and linked with our units of inquiry ‘Change’ and ‘Journeys’.

Timely Reflections…
By Mr Ron Ogier (1966 – 1994) and (1997 – present)
It was in November 1966 that I entered the Trinity Grammar
School War Memorial Chapel for the first time. I had come
to the School for my interview with the Head Master, Mr
James Wilson Hogg, who, I recollect, met me at Summer Hill
station, and brought me to the School. Whether by design
or accident, the first building he took me to was the Chapel.
Struck immediately by its beauty of proportion, design and
polished wood work and stained glass, I have loved it ever
since. It is a building full of many memories concerning the
School, ranging from the Junior and Senior Chapel services,
which when the School was much smaller, were held four
times a week in the division of Senior and Junior Chapels.
Carol Services, Palm Sunday Services, Founder’s Day—all
were and some still are significant times of worship in the
Chapel. Other occasions such as weddings, baptisms and
funerals—some of members of the Trinity community who
died full of years, others, tragically cut down in their youth—
also contributed meaningful emotions over the years. On
several occasions concerts and dramatic performances
were held in the Chapel: Andre Obey’s Noah being perhaps
the most moving. The Chapel was a fitting setting, its vast
wooden roof sheltering the nave like an upturned boat being
a most appropriate reminder of the ark depicted in the play!
Two other occasions of note were the occasions when the
ABC recorded a full Chapel service for telecasting on its
religious programme. On a very personal note, I often used
to sit for a few minutes during a spare period in the quiet
stillness of this lovely structure, drawing strength from its
spiritual ambience.
Thus the service last Friday when the OTU held their
Remembrance Day service in conjunction with the dedication
of the Year 12 Cadets for 2015 was again a moving tribute
to the men of our community who gave their lives in the wars
of the last Century, while inspiring the young men in Cadets

to ponder and reflect on the sacrifice these men have made,
and to resolve to give of themselves in a true fashion of
servant leadership in Cadets.
The Chapel stands at the north-east corner of the Quadrangle.
Perhaps it does not always impinge on the consciousness
of the School Community as we go about our daily round,
but the Chapel is there, a beautiful and noble building. It is a
lucky school that has things of beauty which may influence its
inhabitants, however subconsciously they may be implanted,
so that they may take away worthwhile memories. Trinity’s
War Memorial Chapel fulfils that requirement, for which we
thankfully and prayerfully say Detur Gloria Soli Deo.
