Trinity student and 2025 Captain of Faith and Outreach

Harambee. When I read the prompt, it was the very first thing that came to mind. Harambee is Trinity’s very own outreach group that supports several causes worldwide, from funding schools in the Philippines to empowering
single mothers in Kenya. Closer to home, we support local foundations in educating migrant children and providing hampers for the vulnerable in our community.

Harambee has connected me directly to people’s stories. I was even lucky enough to visit some of the communities we support in the Philippines, truly deepening my gratitude and my sense of responsibility to create change.

But I think that best part of Harambee is that you can support all these great causes while having fun with mates. Whether it be working together at our many barbecues, or bonding during a trip overseas, Harambee is a fantastic way to make a difference and enjoy yourself along the way. I encourage everyone to get involved, by donating or volunteering.

Together, we can make a world of difference

Trinity alumnus, OTGCC and OTGAFC player and volunteer

Fostering a sense of community through my association the Old Trinity Grammarians’ Cricket Club and the Old Trinity Grammarians’ Amateur Football Club has been a huge part of my life as an OTG.

With 10+ years of involvement, I take great pride in building and connecting with my teammates. With cricket season up and running (and forever chasing that elusive semi-final victory!), I find it very special that every Sunday I get to spend my time playing cricket with some of my closest friends from my time at Trinity.

In many ways, your experience is what you are willing to make of it. For me, I want to help create inclusive and enjoyable environments through fun initiatives like interviewing incoming Under-19s players at the club on Thursday nights after training and sharing live social media updates on gamedays.

These clubs are such important pillars of structure and friendships for all of us as we navigate through life, and I’ll never take for granted how these clubs have been such key places for me.

Trinity parent, Class Representative and member of School Council

I’ve been a Class Representative for the past three years since my son began in the Early Learning Centre (ELC). It’s been a fulfilling and rewarding experience, liaising between parents and school through organising events, coordinating parent involvement, and helping build a strong, supportive school community. I look forward to continuing to support my son’s school journey and the wider Trinity community.

I’m also passionate about raising awareness and encouraging others to get involved. My involvement with World Vision has shown me the incredible challenges many children face in accessing quality education. I am dedicated to making a meaningful change in the lives of underprivileged communities in developing countries, and one of the ways that I’ve chosen to do this is by sponsoring children through World Vision.

My hope is to inspire a collective effort to ensure that every child, no matter their background, has the opportunity to receive a quality education to achieve their full potential.

Trinity staff, Director of Outreach, Chaplain and Economics teacher

My passion in life has always been empowering others to make an impact on our world, especially for the most vulnerable in our community. From a young age I was inspired by my mother to see the whole human family as my neighbour and to help anyone in need. I believe that the highest purpose in life is to live in service and this is the pathway to living a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I have been privileged at Trinity to serve the school in the role of Director of Outreach. The calling of this ministry is to offer school programs that encourage students to open their hearts and souls to others. Our service programs encourage our students to be a voice for those who are marginalised, discriminated against and to help bring about a more just world.

A special blessing for me is to have led over 25 immersion groups to East Africa, the Philippines and Arnhem Land. By helping our students extend their radius of care to the whole world, it enables our Trinity community to experience a shared humanity and be more motivated to take action.

My passion in life for all of us is to see the whole human family as one.
