Each of them has made the most of the school’s diverse opportunities, both within and beyond the classroom.

For Sidney, this has included travelling from the West MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia to Cape Town, South Africa, alongside involvement in Junior and Senior School musicals, sporting competitions and academic programs.

“I am keen to encourage involvement across Trinity, as I believe that when students actively participate in school life, they help build a stronger and more connected community,” Sidney says.

Josh credits the inclusive community with encouraging him to step outside his comfort zone and explore opportunities across academics, outdoor education, music and sport.

“Having a community that feels inclusive and encouraging has been crucial to my growth, both as a person and as a leader,” Josh says.

As they progress through the school, students are encouraged to discover their passions and become involved in all aspects of school life.

“For me, Trinity is about far more than just academics. There is always something to get involved in – performing arts, 3×3 basketball tournaments, debating or clubs – all of which makes Trinity feel more than just a school,” Jed says.

Thomas similarly reflects on the friendships and connections he has made as some of his highlights.

“I appreciate the values of respect, teamwork and perseverance that the school instils in its students, and I am proud to be part of a community that encourages everyone to grow, support one another and make a positive difference.” Thomas says.

Their approaches to leadership have also been shaped by those around them. Josh draws inspiration from his father’s discipline and dedication, Sidney from the example set by older students and Thomas from his older brother, Ben (OTG 2025), a former Trinity Vice Captain. For Saul and Jed, their religious education has helped shaped their values.

“The senior students’ willingness to support younger students has influenced the way I hope to approach leadership myself,” Sidney says.

As they look towards their final year and the responsibilities of student leadership, the 2027 School Captains are considering how the lessons learned at Trinity will help them build on the school’s proud traditions and make an impact in a meaningful way, while at the same time, shaping their futures as they look beyond their school days.

“I hope to apply these skills throughout my career and use the values Trinity has instilled in me to make a positive contribution to the wider community,” Thomas says.

“I believe that wherever I am placed, whether that be on a footy field, a stage or where I am needed, the skills and life lessons that I have acquired through my time at Trinity will provide me with a rich life full of love and joy,” Saul concludes.
