NEWS & NOTIFICATIONS
From the Head MasterToday I am pleased to inform you that Trinity Grammar School has started a planning process to reimagineeducation for the next 20-30 years.
Trinity's mission is to provide boys with a thoroughly Christian education in mind, body and spirit. Over the last106 years, the School has earned a reputation for excellent all-round education, holding onto the best of ourtraditions while adapting for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
As always, there is a season for everything, and now the time has come for us to undertake a more substantialrenewal of many of our facilities. In particular, the spaces in which teaching and learning take place are ready tobe reimagined. These buildings have provided great service to generations of students, being the places in whichyoung men have learned, friendships have been forged, and memories have been made. However, the fabric anddesign of the buildings have dated and they are becoming less functional and fit for purpose. Education in and forthe 21st century has new demands and challenges; our School is positioning itself to ensure that our boys'education continues to serve them well.

For these reasons we are commencing planning for a new 5-storey building at the heart of our campus, a focalpoint for teaching and learning activities to challenge, encourage and develop our boys. The new building willaccommodate modern and flexible teaching and learning spaces. It will be nestled between the existingAssembly Hall, School of Music, Sports Centre and North Quad Building and will replace a mostly 2-storeybuilding, known as 'New School', (though built in 1982), that is currently at this location. The Assembly Hall,School of Music, and North Quad Building, along with the Library, Drama Centre and Founder's Building, will all instages enjoy some refurbishments as part of our proposal.

The work will improve movement and flow for students, with better east-west and north-south linkages acrossthe school grounds, and between levels. This will include more accessible connections between the Junior School,car park, ovals, and a new reception point. The work will also feature a multipurpose space, basketball court andenhanced outdoor spaces for the Junior School.
The historic precinct around the Quadrangle and War Memorial Chapel will be preserved and enhanced, makingthis an even more inviting gathering space for students.
The concept for the new 5-storey building and its location at the centre of the School will ensure it is fullyintegrated into the school grounds, does not encroach on the School's ovals and lawns, and remains well clear ofboundary fences and neighbours' gardens.
Video: Introduction to the Renewal Project >
The renewal is expected to involve about $115 million worth of construction funded through a combination ofsavings, borrowings and fundraising. Work will be undertaken in a manner sensitive to the boys and our schoolcommunity, and also to our neighbours with whom we share the neighbourhood.
The planning process requires us to develop building concepts and submit them to the NSW Government, and aswe do this we will be consulting with neighbours, students, parents, alumni, and staff.
Today we are door knocking our immediate neighbours to let them know about our plans and invite them toCommunity Drop-In sessions to meet the project team and provide feedback. We have also just announced TheRenewal Project to boys; it was wonderful to witness their excited reactions to what is to come.
We invite you to join us for a conversation about this initiative at the P&F Session on Tuesday 3 September 2019,7pm at The Delmar Gallery. This meeting will begin with a brief presentation, and will be followed by anopportunity for you to speak with the Head Master and view information boards to learn more. The regular P&FSession will start at 7.30pm in the Common Room and you warmly encouraged to stay on, if you would like tolearn more about what our P&F does and how you could get involved.
As part of this process and in line with planning guidelines, we are also considering the optimal size of the Schoolover the next twenty years as we would like to be able to offer more boys a Trinity education. Given the extent ofcurrent enrolment demand, the growth in our catchment areas, and the projected demand for schooling acrossthe population, we have determined to seek an increase of approximately 400 students at our Summer HillCampus to take us to about 2,100 students. This is a size we are confident we can accommodate while still beinga good neighbour, particularly through our large on-site and underground car park and kiss and drop zone, ourtraffic management procedures, and the siting of our buildings at the centre of our campus. We will uphold ourstandards of quality care and educational excellence for every boy as we grow, ensuring we do so in a gradualand careful manner.
Information about The Renewal Project has been added to our website atCopyright Trinity Grammar School 2019. All Rights Reserved. \[page\] of \[toPage\]
https://www.trinity.nsw.edu.au/renewalproject/, and it will be continually updated as planning progresses.
I am reminded of a verse from Psalms, which says ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain.’Psalm 127:1
The writer’s point is that we can have all the dreams, plans and activities that we want, but we live in a worldthat is beyond our control. This is God’s world, not ours, and we do well to remember it. Ultimately, thefulfillment of our dreams, the completion of our plans, and the success of our activities, is not in our hands. Therefore, at this point of announcing the Renewal Project to the School community I would be delighted if youwere to join me in committing this initiative to God in prayer.
Detur gloria soli deo.

From the Deputy Head Master - Summer HillWhoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is foolish.Proverbs 12:1
In this final article in the series on the School’s view of encouraging a growth mindset in your sons, ourfundamental beliefs about your son’s potential for individual growth, and our focus on the importance of processin achieving success in any area of human endeavour, whether that is sport, music, the arts, or academics, Iwould like to draw on the work of Scientia Professor and Professor of Psychology at the University of New SouthWales, and a friend and advisor to Trinity Grammar School, Dr Andrew Martin. It is his Motivation andEngagement diagram that appears in such a prominent position on page 12 of the Record Book, and it is hissurvey on motivation and engagement that we give your sons to encourage them to reflect on their ownbehaviours and how they relate to success.
As we read the positive motivation and positive engagement factors we see that, like Professor Dweck whosework was referenced a fortnight ago, there is a clear focus on the process rather than the result or the outcome.Self-belief, placing a high value on school and education, having a focus on learning (and a belief that academicperformance is not fixed), planning, task management and persistence are the attributes and behaviours that weencourage, and are the attributes and behaviours that ought to be the focus of educators and parents.
Like Dweck, Dr Martin is clear that as educators and parents, praising ability or intelligence, or setting a number,percentage or grade as the goal is likely to lead to a fixed mindset, uncertain control, self-sabotage and failureavoidance. Likewise, focussing on the process is likely to lead to a growth mindset, self-efficacy and a desire forfeedback. It is critical to understand the power of adults, and especially parents and teachers, to influencechildren’s beliefs and behaviours and so what we reinforce is very important in establishing your son’s mindset.John Hattie, another education academic who conducted a significant meta-analysis of educational research hassynthesised his findings in a way that tries to quantify the factors that have most effect on a student’s learningand that self-efficacy, which he describes as “the confidence or belief we have in ourselves that we can make ourlearning happen”, is a powerful predictor of success.
At Trinity Grammar School we believe your sons have the potential to grow. At Trinity Grammar School weencourage them to have a growth mindset. At Trinity Grammar School we encourage persistence. At TrinityGrammar School we encourage your sons to place a high value on education and encourage them to have alearning focus. These are messages that are delivered repeatedly to your sons. This is the reason we havereviewed how we report your son’s progress and this is why Dr Martin’s Motivation & Engagement Wheel sits inthe Record Book.

ACADEMIC
ABC’s Q&A ‘Schools Special’Earlier this week, on Monday the 26th of August, a group of ten Trinity students from both Years 11 and 12, alongwith Dr De Lany and the Head Master, were given the opportunity to attend the ABC’s Q&A ‘Schools Special’. Theexperience provided the attending Trinity students with the opportunity to interact and engage with a widevariety of students from a selection of both State and Independent Schools. The panellists included the currentNSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, former NSW Premier, Kristina Keneally, and four students, all of whom hadopposing political beliefs. The contrast between each of the panellists present stimulated an engaging debateand discussion, surrounding the contemporary issues facing Australian society. Many students from a selectionschools were present in the audience and were given the opportunity to ask questions directly to the panellists.
Some of the issues raised included the polarizing topic of abortion, a topic which allowed the Trinity students tohear a wide variety of perspectives and opinions from both the male and female panellists. Other topicsdiscussed included the issue of climate change, which was arguably the main topic of the evening. Students fromthe audience challenged the politicians present on their Party’s stance on climate change, allowing for aninteresting discussion surrounding the issue. The topic of student strikes and protests in favour of climate changewas also discussed, with the NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, making clear her government’s stance thathowever important the issue of climate may be, school students should protest within school grounds, ratherthan publicly. However, the former NSW Premier, Kristina Keneally, offered an opposing opinion, providing herview that students should stand up for what they believe in. After providing a personal anecdote, Ms Keneallyencouraged the students within the audience to actively lobby for, and make their beliefs heard. Othercontemporary issues, such as pill testing at NSW music festivals were also discussed.
All students in attendance at Monday night’s Q&A were extremely fortunate and privileged to hear theperspectives and beliefs of not only Australia’s leading politicians, but also the opinions of Australia’s nextgeneration of leaders. It was a great experience to be present in such a youthful audience and to hear that somany young people, like myself, are engaging with contemporary Australian politics. I’d like to thank both theHead Master and Dr De Lany for providing the Trinity students with the opportunity to be in attendance.

School Sport Australia Championships, DaptoThe School Sport Australia Cross Country Championships were held in conjunction with the Athletics AustraliaCross Country Championships from the 23rd August through to the 26th August. Trinity was well represented,with ten boys representing the School System and one boy representing the club system. The course was flat andfast, the ground was dry (as a result of water restrictions, which kicked up a lot of dust), but it was an excellentday for Cross Country.
Individually, we performed exceptionally well, with Joshua O’Connell (6Ta) starting proceedings placing 9th inthe 12 years boys’ 3km event. The School Sports NSW team was rewarded with 1st place in the team event.
Luca Gillard (7St) was next off, and he placed 3rd in the U14 3km event. Luca was only five seconds behind 1stand 2nd, who finished on the same time, and his NSW Team placed 2nd overall. Theo Christian (10He) andJack Waide (8Ke) set off together in the U16 4km event. Both these boys reaped the rewards of many monthsand many miles of solid training as Theo placed 13th and Jack was not too far adrift in 19th. Jack completed theNSW team that placed 3rd overall.
To cap off our final individual representation, Ben Bishop (12Hi) set off in the U20 8km event, the last boys’race of the day. While Ben has had a troublesome few years due to injury, he toiled hard to finish an excellent42nd. Although he was aiming for the top 40, he was pleased to place ahead of two NSW athletes who knockedhim out of the NSW School Sports team.
In CAS Cross Country, we are fortunate that we can race as a team. Outside of this, there are not manyopportunities to compete as a team. This year, however, we had the chance to represent both Trinity and NSW inthe one event. Trinity was represented by Ethan Brouw (11Ta), Zac Brown (11Ho), Patrick Cantlon(10Du), Logan Kaye (12Ho), Dylan Offord (11WH) and Thomas Virgona (11St). As the race got underway,it was easy to tell that the pace was ‘on’ from the gun. Through the first lap, it was a very tight race between thethree Schools in contention for a place at World’s. Before the event, we considered Brisbane Grammar School tobe the ones to beat. However, both B.G.S. and Trinity were blown away in the final lap by a Craig Mottram-coached Haileybury College. Their first four runners completed the course in 1 hour 19 minutes and 38 seconds,which is a phenomenal feat. B.G.S came second with 1 hour 21 minutes and 42 seconds, while Trinity finishedthird with 1 hour 21 minutes 58 seconds. Our goal coming in to the race was to qualify for World’s, and althoughit was disappointing that we didn’t get there this time around, the boys ran very well and improved a staggering2 minutes and 40 seconds overall from the NSW All Schools. Patrick had the standout race, finishing 26th overallas the first New South Welshman home. It was great to see Logan finish strongly in his final School CrossCountry event. Mr Spratt and I look forward to building the team up for the next trials in two years.
With the conclusion of the serious races on Saturday, the boys were all once again at it in the ‘fun events’ onMonday with every age group and every student completing either a time trial or a relay event. It was great tosee the boys again perform strongly. In the 16-17 Year Time Trial, Dylan placed 9th in 9 minutes 17 seconds,Thomas 18th in 9 minutes 44 seconds, and Zac 23rd in 10 minutes 13 seconds.
Our boys also had great success in the relays with Luca and NSW placing 1st in the 13 Years event. Luca had thefastest 1500m leg of the day in 4 minutes 28 seconds. Theo and Jack managed to help Team NSW into 2nd in the14-15 Years event. Theo was 5th fastest on the day, covering 2km in 6 minutes 10 seconds, while Jack wasn’t faraway in 6 minutes 20 seconds. Our final runner for the meet was Patrick, and he stormed home to get TeamNSW the bronze in the 16-17 Years 3000m Relay.
What a fantastic few days of racing for the Trinity Cross Country fraternity. We now look to put some fast timeson the board over the next few weeks in CAS Track and Field.
