ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS

VCE Results2019

2 | Academic Results 2019

Congratulations to the Class of 2019 on a remarkable set of VCE results - among the best in our long history.

The boys worked incredibly hard throughout the year, not only in the classroom, but across the many facets of Trinity life, and it is my sincere hope that, whether elated or disappointed this morning, they will not let a ranking define their time at Trinity. Indeed, the contributions they have made to this school have left an indelible mark on our culture, in our history, and, in particular, on the cohort of boys they led with great distinction and integrity. For that, we thank them.

As a school and a community, we congratulate those boys who have achieved at the highest levels in their VCE - impressive accomplishments indeed, and the product of hard work and dedication over many years. We also acknowledge those boys who gave of their very best effort, and have hopefully achieved an ATAR of which they can be proud.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and at Trinity that village is made up of our brilliant staff. Each year, our academic and support staff do an incredible amount of work, often behind the scenes, to care and nurture the boys throughout their academic journey. I thank them all for their unwavering commitment to ensuring each boy has received the guidance and assistance they have required to achieve their personal best.

We are immensely proud of the Class of 2019, and wish them all the very best in whatever life brings next. I encourage them to remain closely connected with the School, and share with us their successes as Old Trinity Grammarians.

Daniel Gu - ATAR of 99.95Daniel started at Trinity as Year 7 student in 2014. He is a gifted musician and an exceptional scholar. Daniel was a member of many school ensembles during his time at Trinity. He was an outstanding leader of the flute section in Symphonic Wind and Symphony Orchestra, and regularly achieved first prizes in external flute competitions. Daniel achieved the Licentiate in Music Diploma (LMusA) in both piano and flute.

In 2019, he was Symphonic Wind Concert Master at the Victorian Schools Music Festival. This year, Daniel was Co-Captain of Music, a role he undertook with

enthusiasm and commitment. He was an excellent mentor to younger students and often led performances at assemblies, school musicals, Year 12 colloquia and the House Performing Arts Festival. As a school community, we were also fortunate to witness Daniel’s exquisite performances at the Concerto and Chamber Concerts.

Daniel received Triple School Colours in recognition of his breadth of involvement across the cocurricular program and at Presentation Night this year, he was awarded the Prize for Contribution to School Music and the Prize for French.

Ned Grimsey - ATAR of 99.95Ned started at Trinity in Year 5 in 2012. As well as being an exceptional scholar, he is a talented young man with a broad range of interests. This year, Ned received a Headmaster’s Award for representing the School in Firsts Rowing and competed in the National Championships. As Vice-Captain of Roberts House, he led by example and was always willing to get involved with his peers and younger students.

Ned was a keen participant in the School’s cross-age mentoring programs, leading Year 7 and Year 8 students on Outdoor Education camps, and training the next generation of leaders on the Somers Program.

It is not surprising that in his last year at the School, Ned was appointed a School Prefect and received Triple School Colours in recognition of his breadth of involvement across the cocurricular program.

At Presentation Night, he was awarded The National Bank of Australia Prize for Business Management, and a Prize for Distinctions and Merits - the third time he has reached this notable achievement.
