FROM THE CHAIR
It has been a privilege to serve as Chair of Trinity over several years On behalf of Council, I thank our families, staff and students for the commitment you bring to our school. Your partnership and contribution continue to shape Trinity in meaningful and lasting ways
Trinity remains a relatively young school, yet one that has grown in confidence, capability and ambition That this growth is occurring in a regional context is significant Regional education matters. It matters that families have access to high-quality education close to home, and that students can pursue opportunity without feeling compelled to leave their community to find it
Each time a family enrols, a staff member joins, or a supporter invests in the College, they strengthen Trinity’s role in regional education The achievements reflected throughout this year are the result of shared responsibility and steady leadership across our community
In 2025, AngliSchools marked its 40th anniversary, celebrating four decades of Anglican education in Australia Trinity benefits greatly from being part of this system of schools The professional support, strategic oversight and capital investment provided by AngliSchools continue to position our College for long-term sustainability and growth.
Education is both demanding and purposeful work. Our staff approach it with professionalism and care, seeking not only to teach well but to broaden perspectives and encourage thoughtful engagement with the world. Council extends its sincere thanks to every member of staff for their daily contribution to the life of the College
The strength of Trinity is also reflected in the quality of its leadership Council thanks our Principal, Dr Adrian Johnson, for his strategic direction and consistent focus on opportunity for students We also acknowledge Mrs Sharon Finlay, Business Manager, whose diligence and expertise underpin the College’s financial stability and future planning I extend my gratitude to my fellow Council members: Deputy Chair Peter Campbell, Treasurer Marcus Davis, Susan Bazzana, Franzl Shannon and Father Peter McLeod Miller, for their commitment to sound governance and to Trinity’s strategic direction I also thank Mr Tony Sheumack, who will assume the role of Chair in the new year
When our family returned to Australia and joined Trinity in 2011, we could not have anticipated the impact the College would have on our lives It has been an honour to serve this community I remain deeply appreciative of the role Trinity plays in the lives of its students and families, and I will continue to support its future with confidence.
