From the Principal
Congratulations – Mr and Mrs Jarrod and Emily Hillary
Congratulations to Jarrod and Emily Hillary on the safe arrival
of their first child, a daughter, Emmerson Rosali who arrived
during the course of Father’s Day last Sunday, 1 September! On
behalf of the Trinity community I wish the Hillarys warm
congratulations and hope that both mother and daughter are
doing well! Great news!
The Federal Election
This Saturday the nation goes to the polls in the 2013 federal election. In many ways, I get a
sense that a lot of people are probably looking forward to the election being held, a result
being declared and hopefully a sense of normality being brought to federal politics from next
week. Let’s hope that the election does deliver a decisive and clear result, one in which the
government is not hindered by minority arrangements as we have experienced over the last
three years.
It is certainly not my position to impose my own political views on the College community;
unless there were exceptional circumstances, I think this would be inappropriate for me to
do so. However, I do think that it is appropriate for me to present to the Trinity community
an overview of the policies and views on education from the three main contenders – the
Australian Labor Party, the Liberal/National Coalition and the Greens.
To facilitate this, I present the following excerpts from an analysis of the education policies
of the three major parties undertaken by the highly regarded Independent Schools Council
of Australia. This document is available from both ISCA’s and the Association of Independent
Schools of NSW’s websites.
POLICY PRIORITIES
Australian Labor Party
Labor’s Better Schools Plan is the centrepiece of its education policy platform. Reforms to be
implemented through the Australian Education Act 2013, involve an emphasis on providing
additional funding for disadvantage, lifting teacher quality, giving more power to principals,
increasing transparency and accountability, and making more information available to
parents.
An additional $9.8 billion ($2.8 billion in the forward estimate period) in extra
Commonwealth funding has been allocated for the six years to 2019. Funding is based on a
new Schooling Resource Standard, which involves loadings targeting disadvantage (low
income, Indigenous, disability, limited English proficiency, school size and rural and remote
schools) in both government and non-government schools.
Liberal/National Coalition
The Coalition has made a commitment to funding certainty for schools by promising to
match dollar for dollar the funding offered by the ALP in government under the Better
Schools Plan, over the four years of the forward estimates 2014 to 2017. Commonwealth
schools funds committed for school year 2014 will flow to all States and Territories
irrespective of whether they have signed a deal with the Government. The Coalition commits
to working cooperatively and constructively with all States and Territories to negotiate a fair
and sustainable national funding model.
The main focus of the Coalition’s school education policy is education quality, to be achieved
through better teaching, more community engagement and more principal autonomy, as
well as through fair funding. Other priority themes include a focus on achieving better
outcomes (questioning a direct link between student outcomes and funding levels), needsbased funding and a shift away from centralist control to more local decision making in the
operation of schools.
The Greens
The Greens’ education platform gives priority to a strong public education system. The
Greens will ‘continue to advocate passionately for government schools’ which they consider
are chronically underfunded. Their 2013 election platform would bring forward the current
commitment under the Better Schools Plan, providing an extra $2 billion over the forward
estimates period to government schools.
COMMITMENTS ON PARTICULAR ISSUES
Capital Funding
The Government will continue its capital funding program for non-government schools,
budgeting $772.4 million over 5 years to 2019 to support the construction of new schools
and upgraded facilities, recognising the increasing demand for new schooling facilities in
high growth areas.
2
Newsletter Week 7, Term 3
Week Ending 6 September 2013
The Coalition will give priority to a new capital infrastructure investment program for nongovernment schools, restoring per student establishment grants, once the Budget returns to
surplus.
The Greens
The Greens would ‘adequately fund’ capital works for public schools which need to meet high
environmental standards.
Curriculum
The 2013-2014 Budget provides $19.2 million over four years to ACARA for further
curriculum development (including a new curriculum for priority Asian Languages) and for
assessment (including a new NAPLAN scale to allow for international benchmarking). Funding
is also provided ($7.5 million over 3 years) for Education Services Australia to deliver
curriculum resources.
The Coalition will refocus ACARA to ensure it is developing the highest possible standard
curriculum and establishing a rigorous benchmarking process to compare the Australian
Curriculum against the world’s best. The National Curriculum will be reviewed and the
consultative process widened, to ensure a curriculum that encourages and fosters choice
and diversity.
The Greens
The Greens have committed to enhancing the curriculum with extra investments in maths
and science, Asian and Indigenous languages, and music, at a cost of $50.6 million a year.
The Greens want decisions about curriculum, testing, reporting and teaching to be made in
consultation with appropriate educational experts, teachers, parents, students and other
stakeholders and believe that curriculum material should be free from corporate
sponsorship and influence including the use of sponsors' material or logos.
Pathways to Teaching
The ALP has committed $30.9 million to bring the best and brightest to teach in schools
across the country. This includes $22.8 million to extend the Teach for Australia program
encouraging up to 275 new graduates from fields such as science, engineering, commerce
and the law to start a career in disadvantaged schools. A further $8.1 million will be invested
in Initiatives Supporting Innovation in Teacher Education (InSITE) as seed funding for new
ways to develop innovative pathways into teaching.
The Coalition will work with the States to explore and promote more flexible and alternative
career pathways into teaching within the context of reviewing the professional teaching
standards linked to accreditation.
3
Recurrent Funding
An additional $2.8 billion over the forward estimates and $9.8 billion through to 2019 has
been committed to school funding under the Government’s Better Schools Plan. This amount
includes funding redirected from National Partnerships on Low Socio-Economic Status
School Communities, which will cease at the end of 2013, Empowering Local Schools which
will cease on 30 June 2014, the Literacy and Numeracy, which will cease on 31 December
2013, Rewards for Great Teachers, which will terminate on 31 December 2013 and Rewards
for School Improvement. Future funding involves Commonwealth indexation of 4.7% and a
requirement for states to pay indexation of 3%. The mechanism to calculate the relative
needs of non-government schools will be reviewed, and may move to a new individual
measure of parental capacity to contribute. The 2013-2014 Budget makes provision for
ongoing Short Term Emergency Assistance funding for non-government schools.
The Coalition will match the Commonwealth recurrent funding committed by Labor to all
states and territories, whether or not they have signed an agreement with the
Commonwealth, for the forward estimates period 2014-2017. The Coalition supports the
concept of additional loadings for disadvantage, regardless of school attended and is
committed to a stable, simple and sustainable approach to needs-based funding that gives
schools, teachers and parents certainty for the future.
The Coalition believes the SES measure for needs-based funding for non-government schools
is sound and can be improved. In 2014, the Coalition will finalise a common national funding
model that gives effect to this approach, within the same funding envelope. It is not clear
whether the Coalition’s commitment overrides a previous promise to continue
Commonwealth indexation at the current 6% average of the past ten years.
The Greens
The Greens strongly support needs-based funding for schools. They would bring forward the
government commitment to increased funding through to 2019 under the Better Schools
Plan, with an additional $2 billion in the forward estimates period to help bring public
schools up to the Schooling Resource Standard sooner.
The Greens consider that the growth in Commonwealth funding to non-government schools
has had an adverse impact on public education. They would ensure that total public funding
of non-government schools does not disadvantage public education, and would base nongovernment school funding on a direct measure of parental socio-economic status and a
school’s own resources, including the capacity to generate income from fees and
contributions. The money thus saved from ‘very wealthy non-government schools’ would be
invested in public schools, targeting disadvantage.
Reporting
The ALP is committed to the continuing development of the My School website, as a source
of information about schools, and to ACARA as the national body for assessment and
reporting. An ALP government will establish an Australian School Performance entity (ASPe),
4
to work closely with existing bodies, to develop a national data collection on school
performance. The entity is expected to evaluate the data and share information with schools
on what works to improve school performance. The ALP also wants school authorities to
cooperate in an annual State of our Schools report to COAG and the public, assessing
progress against targets.
The Coalition opposes the establishment of ASPe as unnecessary, claiming it would impose
‘more bureaucracy and red tape’ on schools and would duplicate the role of ACARA. The
Coalition wants to ensure that the National Assessment Programme – Literacy and Numeracy
(NAPLAN) is marked and back to parents and teachers within twelve weeks, and will consult
with teachers and the States on options to use NAPLAN tests as a diagnostic tool as intended.
Due to concerns about NAPLAN results being used to ‘name and shame’ schools a Coalition
government will review the MySchool website.
The Greens
The Greens support the provision of high quality information to parents and the community.
They object to league tables. The Greens would require government and non-government
schools to have the same accountability and transparency frameworks, including in relation
to the hiring of staff, student admission, provision of income information and accounting for
use of funds.
School Leadership
The Coalition believes strong school leadership will be essential if autonomous systems of
schooling are to be successful. A Coalition government will work with the States, professional
associations and the schools sector to develop a new school leadership program with a focus
on world class school leadership techniques. The cost of taking the course will be met by
employers or the employee.
Students with Disability
The 2013-2014 Budget provides for the extension of the More Support for Students with
Disabilities National Partnership to 2015, and for $14.4 million over 4 years for a nationally
consistent data collection model for students with disability. From 2015, funding for
students with disabilities will be provided as a loading on the Schooling Resource Standard.
The Coalition supports the additional loadings for students with disability under the new
recurrent funding arrangements that will apply equally to students in government and nongovernment schools. A Coalition government will match the Commonwealth funding to
extend support for students with disabilities for 12 months, while a new ‘loading’ formula is
developed for these students. The Coalition will continue the data collection process that
has started with the States and Territories so that future funding for students with a disability
can be based on each student’s level of need.
5
The Greens
The Greens aim to increase the number of specialist teachers and support for students with
special needs. The additional recurrent funding of $2 billion they would provide in the
forward estimates period would be used particularly to assist students with disability.
Teacher Quality
The ALP expects AITSL to continue to drive teacher quality. The 2013-2014 Budget provides
$14.3 million over 4 years for AITSL to develop resources for teachers and principals,
including specifically to build Asia-relevant teaching capability. The ALP has committed to
review all teacher preparation courses through the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards
Agency (TEQSA). The Government has invested $26 million in the Centre for Quality
Teaching and Learning to support the Better Schools goal of being in the world’s top five in
reading, numeracy and science by 2025.
The Coalition has nominated raising teacher quality as one of its highest education priorities.
Specific commitments have been made in relation to entry standards, teacher training,
ongoing professional development (especially for early career teachers) and shortages in
specialist areas. On entry standards, the Coalition would not cap ATAR scores but would
seek to work with universities to develop ‘best practice’ guidelines to improve admission
standards to select the best candidates on a range of qualities and to make teacher
preparation more challenging, rigorous, practical and attractive. The Coalition will establish
a Ministerial Advisory Group to provide advice to governments on changes needed to
improve teacher training courses. This group will be asked to identify the common
components of the world’s best practice teacher preparation programs, with a particular
emphasis on pedagogical approaches, subject content, and the teaching practicum. The
Group will be asked to undertake a rigorous benchmarking of Australian courses against
world’s best practice programs. The Ministerial Advisory Group will also be asked to review
and make suggestions for improvement to the Professional Standards for Teachers that have
been developed by Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL).
While accepting that there is no one approach to literacy teaching for all students, the
Coalition has recognised an urgent need for better pre-service education for teaching
reading. The Ministerial Advisory Group will be asked to review the need for language
teachers to meet the goal of increasing the number of students studying foreign languages,
to make sure language education has a high priority in universities.
The Greens
The Greens recognise teachers and school leaders are facing increasing pressures and have
committed to providing mentoring and professional development opportunities for
teachers worth $20 million per year. The Greens support increased pay, professional
recognition, improved pre- and in-service training and more release time for teachers. They
reject performance pay. They regard education unions as the appropriate representatives of
educators in all educational matters.
6
Technology for Schools
The ALP will create a $20 million NBN: Connecting Classrooms fund to assist at least 1,000
schools to get the equipment they need to take full advantage of the National Broadband
Network. Schools will be able to apply for grants of up to $20,000.
Further details can be accessed via the websites for each of the three major political parties
or via the AIS of NSW website.
Whilst there does not appear to be significant differences between the education policies of
the ALP and the Coalition, it is important to note that the Greens are not strong supporters
of non-government schools. The Greens education policy continues to state that they will
continue to work towards the ending of government funding for ‘wealthy non-government
schools’ and to reduce the capacity for new non-government schools to be established in the
future. Trinity continues to rely heavily on per-capita recurrent funding from the
Commonwealth. If the Greens are able to influence changes in the recurrent funding for nongovernment schools in the future, these would have serious consequences for our school. I
would encourage Trinity parents to keep this in mind as they cast their vote this weekend.
Happy voting!
Trinity’s Inaugural Art Exhibition: 13-15 September
On Friday, 13 September the College will open its inaugural Art Exhibition in the MultiPurpose Hall. A lot of effort has gone into the organisation and promotion of this event and
I take this time to encourage people to come along and enjoy the exhibition at some stage
over the weekend. The Exhibition will commence with a gala opening on Friday night and
tickets for the opening are available from the College’s front office at $25 per head. For those
who would like to view the exhibition over the weekend, entry is a gold coin donation.
The College is delighted to have Jo Davenport as the Feature Artist for the Exhibition and Jo
will be at the Gala Opening on Friday night. Jo is a highly respected artist and her works are
in strong demand through galleries in Melbourne and Sydney. Over 100 art works from 43
artists from the Albury-Wodonga region have been entered into the exhibition and therefore
the exhibition will cater for a wide variety of artistic tastes.
The inaugural Art Exhibition is shaping up as a very enjoyable and successful event. I do hope
that you will be able to come along and support and enjoy the event!

Principal
From the Head of Senior School
It has been a busy time over the last couple of weeks for Year 12 students who study a
practical subject. It has been fantastic to see the talent on display from our Drama, Music,
Visual Arts and Design and Technology students. I have enjoyed the performances of the
Drama and Music students and to see the major works of the Visual Arts and Design and
Technology students. It has been good to speak to parents at these events who are justifiably
7
proud of their sons and daughters. It has also been pleasing that Year 12 students have come
along to the various performances/exhibitions to support their fellow students. Well done to
everyone involved!
Trish Pearce and the Year 10 Food Technology students introduced a new initiative last week.
Staff were able to come along to breakfast cooked by the Year 10 students. Bacon and egg
rolls, pancakes, natural yoghurt, Trinity breakfast trifle, fresh orange juice and coffee were
all on the menu. The Year 10 students arrived early and worked extremely hard to make the
breakfast a success. My bacon and egg roll was cooked to perfection. Congratulations to Trish
Pearce and Lee Kelb on this wonderful event.
Last week saw the SRC organise a coin line fundraiser for our Year 11 team at the Relay for
Life. It was great to see students from the Junior School and Senior School creating coin lines
that went from the Library to the canteen. An amazing $2266 was raised at the event. Year 11
are well on the way to achieving their goal of raising $10,000. Thank you to Tanya Carroll,
Janine Haymes, the SRC and all students who contributed to the event.
On Sunday, Georgina Liston and Catherine Nielsen represented the College at the official
opening of the Chapel of Honour at St Matthew’s Church, dedicated to the 2/23rd Battalion
and all those who have served the community of Albury. They met Her Excellency Professor
Marie Basher, the Governor of New South Wales, and Dr B Nelson, Director of the Australia
War Memorial. The service was very moving and both girls laid a poppy on behalf of the
College.

From the College Chaplain
‘I have a dream!’ said Martin Luther King Jr. ‘My lord, I have a
cunning plan’, said Baldrick. You may be a visionary, but you will
not succeed until you learn to inspire others with your vision
and have them take it up for themselves. Inspiring others
requires credibility and conviction. People will only get involved
if they can see that you’re fully behind it yourself. Psychologist Dr Larry Crabb describes what
it’s like when the right message, spoken by the right messenger, is spoken to the right people:
‘A vision we give to others of who and what they could become, has power when it echoes
what the spirit has already spoken into their souls’. That power can convince people to join
you in the pursuit of your vision, and greatly enhances your chances of success.
The Bible isn’t a maths textbook, but Deuteronomy 32:30 contains an equation: one person
can put a thousand others to flight, but two people can put ten thousand others to flight. The
Scriptures teach us the power of working alongside each other. Take a group of people united
in one vision, and the anointing of the Lord and you will accomplish more than you ever
dreamed possible.
Rev Lee Weissel

From the Director of Studies
End of Preliminary Course Examinations
Students in Year 11 are preparing for the very important end of course exams in their
Preliminary HSC Course.
These exams take place across Week 8 and begin on
Monday 9 September. The students are approaching their exams with seriousness and have
been plaguing their teachers for advice about revision strategies; this is advice that their
teachers are very happy to impart! Many students are producing well-structured and
carefully researched summary sheets to assist them in their examination endeavours, and
others are submitting draft material to their teachers for comment.
The timetable for the examinations is available on the College website. Please contact me at
the College if you have any queries.

Book Week Parade and Assembly
Thank you to all the students and their families for their support of last week’s Book Week
Parade. It was fantastic to see all our colourful students dress up as their favourite characters,
clearly highlighting the passion our Junior School students have of reading. Our students work
tirelessly on developing their reading skills and their effort on Friday demonstrates the
enjoyment reading brings.
Thanks to everyone who supported our Book Week Assembly last Tuesday. The 15 Junior
School classes all presented a response to one of the finalists in the Book Week
competition. These responses included short plays, artworks, re-enactments, video clips and
even a dance. The winning books, as voted by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA)
judges, include: ‘The terrible suitcase’; ‘The coat’; ‘The children of the king’; and ‘Tom the
9
outback mailman.’ The Book Week program is a great way for children to experience new
Australian children’s books. Can you find ‘Where’s Wally’? More photos next week.
World Peace Flame Comes to Trinity
The Junior School was honoured with the presentation
of the World Peace Flame by Maggie Baker, Charu Mishr
and Eddie Voogt, members of local Rotary Clubs, during
last Tuesday’s Assembly. At the assembly our Junior
School Leaders related the Peace Flame to the theme of
actively doing for others. They also spoke on how the
World Peace Flame is a metaphor for the light of Christ.
Importantly, having the World Peace Flame
permanently in the College provides the students the
opportunity to reflect on being peace makers within
their world. The Peace Flame will be on display during
each Chapel Service and at present is being passed from
class to class as a reminder of our commitment to peace.

Book Week Parade
Last Friday the Wodonga Campus held our annual ‘Book Week Character Parade’. The event
was very well supported, with students turning out in a fantastic collection of characters from
their favourite books or identities they saw as ‘Characters from Reading Across the Universe’.
11
It was really pleasing to see the
length the students went to for
the event and highlighted the love
our students have of books, and
the enjoyment they got out of
dressing up. This year we also
included the ELC students, who
thoroughly enjoyed the chance to
dress-up and interact with our
Junior School students.
The P&F Father’s Day Stall was very well supported following the
parades. I thank the many parents who turned up to not only
support the parade but also assist with the stall.

Tennis Championships – Years 7-12
What better way to spend a perfect Spring morning than a spot
of tennis, punctuated by a companionable morning tea? Do
you want to shrug off the sluggishness of Winter? Are you
keen for a get together with good company, superb morning
tea and social tennis? Or, do you want to test your competitive
edge on the tennis court?
The Trinity Tennis Championships are fast approaching for
students in Years 7 to 12. We are kicking off with the Year 12 competition Sunday 8
September and Year 12 students have received permission notes in Pastoral Care Group. The
competition is to be held at the East Albury Tennis Courts from 2-4pm. I am keen to see our
competitive Year 12s take to the courts.
The competitions for students in Years 7 to 11 will take place in the first few weeks of Term
4, so, watch this space!
Please see Miss Armstrong for notes, details, questions, recipes . . .
Basketball
As the winter basketball home and away season comes to an end I would like to take this
opportunity to wish all our sides that are finals bound all the best and thank all our coaches.
Our teams cannot operate without the hard work and commitment of our coaches and I
encourage all families to express their gratitude over the final matches.
13
Listed are the current teams for the new Summer Basketball season starting Wednesday of
week 1. Clubs have nominated sides and once draws have been done, I will inform you of
your allocated night, most likely no different to this season.
Unfortunately, we are once again short on coaches. We are fortunate that some of our Senior
School students are coaching and are doing a wonderful job with our Junior School teams. If
there are any other interested students or parents interested in coaching, please let me
know. Often parents tell me they would be more than happy to coach if they knew a little
more about the sport. At Trinity we offer coaching courses and parents need to realise if a
side hasn’t a coach we are unable to nominate the team. Often staff don’t have the expertise
either but find it very rewarding. Please give it some thought, often parents share the job.
Please see the following sides; there have been a lot of changes due to the new age groups.
Please let me know if your child is interested where we require additional players.
