Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

A few weeks ago our school was lucky to have Andrew Chinn join us as part of our celebrations for Holy Trinity Feast Day.

Andrew Chinn worked with each year level practising different religious songs and then in the afternoon the whole school gathered together in the Great Space for a concert. It was cool how almost a quarter of the students performed some kind of role up the front from singing with the chorus into the mic or doing the actions to the songs. Everyone had so much fun at the concert and we are thankful to Mr. Harvie and the school for organising this wonderful experience for the students.

Here is what a handful of our students thoughts about the experience ….

Harry (Prep Y) – I liked singing and doing the actions in the concert.

Leni (Prep B) –  I likes singing the songs in the concert and that everyone was sitting together. 

Parker (1/2 G) – I really like performing in the concert and doing the actions in the songs.

Marcus (1/2 Y) – I liked doing the actions in the concert and singing the cool songs.

Emilia D (1/2 B) – I liked how the whole school sang together for the concert. 

Zara (3/4 Y) – I liked the singomg the rainbow song and learning the different dances.  

Caitlin (3/4 B)  – I liked performing in the concert and all the singing and dancing that we did. 

Ella (3/4 G) – The concert was fun and my favourite was the rainbow song. I also got to call out “By Andrew Chinn” during the concert. 

Here are a few pictures from the concert for you to enjoy….

 

On Thursday 7th April, we gathered together as a school community to present our TORCH Bearers of term 1.  To be chosen as a TORCH Bearer is a significant achievement because only one special person in each year level is chosen for this award who consistently displays each of our TORCH values. Our TORCH values of tolerance (T), optimism (O), respect (R), confidence (C) and honesty (H) are at the heart of what we teach at Holy Trinity and provide our students with practical examples of how to live out of school motto of ‘Love One Another’.

Congratulations to Parker (Prep), Primrose (1), Lucas (2), Daniel W (3), Olivia (4), Cara G (5) and Abigail (6) for being such fantastic recipients of the TORCH Bearers for term 1.

In addition, we presented our SRC (Student Representative Committee) members for 2022 with their badges during this assembly. Two students were chosen from each class in years 1 to 5 after writing an application letter as to why they think they would be a good SRC candidate. Students who were interested in becoming an SRC wrote their letters in the Tech Lab at an assigned recess or lunch time and then these letters were read out anonymously in their class by the class teacher. By reading out the letters anonymously this reduces the chances of the voting process becoming a ‘popularity’ contest but rather each student votes on qualities highlighted in the letter of the person they thought would do the best job as an SRC. One student will represent each class at our term 2 meetings and the other student will represent the class for term 3 when we meet at lunchtime each Thursday.  In term 4 our SRC may meet less frequently as we focus our energy on putting some of the initiatives we have worked through in the previous terms into action. Sometimes this may mean we require all our SRCs to help make HT & St. Mary’s the best school possible for everyone.

Congratulations to our SRCs for 2022.

Welcome to our first online assembly for 2022. Today’s assembly was held as a Google Meet and recorded on an iPad.

Congratulations to all of our award winners – some amazing accomplishments! Keep up the great work girls and boys!

Wishing everyone a restful weekend particularly all the students who participated in their first swimming session today.

At Monday’s Assembly we celebrated Anzac Day. Anzac Day is a very special day where we remember all the people that fought and died for the freedom that we have in Australia.

Our Anzac Day ceremony was very special where we prayed for the sacrifices that our have soldiers made, we listened to the Ode, Reveille and the National Anthem, and followed the one minute silence out of respect for those that have served for our country.

Here is the video of our ceremony from Monday:

Welcome to our end of term assembly.

Congratulations to our SRC members who were presented with their badges at assembly this morning.

We also presented the TORCH Bearer of the term awards to students who have demonstrated the TORCH values in everything that they do at school.

We also had some special Easter colouring prizes to present to Amaya and Jackson who placed 1st and 2nd in Mr Nick Wakeling’s colouring in competition.

Well done to all families for a successful term of learning. I hope that everyone has a Blessed Easter and a restful school holiday break.

Looking forward to seeing everyone back next term.
