"A responsibility to inspire"

Leadership and the House Performing Arts Festival

The House Performing Arts Festival (HPAF) is an annual theatrical showcase that involves every Trinity student from Year 7 – Year 12.

Each of the eight Houses work together to put on an entirely student–written and directed performance of acting, singing and dancing.

Student leadership and peer mentoring is charismatic of HPAF.

From brainstorming performance ideas to stepping onto the stage, it is an opportunity for House leaders to step up and foster culture, camaraderie and a sense of community.

Peer mentoring

is more than just a role; it’s a responsibility to inspire and uplift the next generation.

Leading HPAF comes with challenges of its own, such as motivating reluctant participants and months of unseen effort, but the experience was unforgettable.

On the night, despite the nerves, we came together, gave it our all, and secured second place a true testament to our teamwork, determination, and House spirit.
