STANDARD COLLECTION NOTICE

1. The College collects personal information, including sensitive information about students and parents or

carers before and during the course of a pupil’s enrolment at the College. This may be in writing or in the course of conversations. The primary purpose of collecting this information is to enable the College to provide schooling to the pupil and to enable them to take part in all the activities in the College.

2. Some of the information we collect is to satisfy the College’s legal obligations, particularly to enable the College to discharge its duty of care.

3. Laws governing or relating to the operation of a school require certain information to be collected and disclosed. These include relevant Education Acts, and public Health and Child Protection laws.

4. Health information about students is sensitive information within the terms of the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act. We may ask you to provide medical reports about students from time to time.

5. The College from time to time discloses personal and sensitive information to others for administrative and educational purposes, including to facilitate the transfer of a pupil to another school. This includes to other schools, government departments, Catholic Schools Offices, the Catholic Education Commission, local diocese and parish, medical practitioners and people providing services to the College, including specialist visiting teachers, sport coaches, volunteers and counsellors.

6. Personal information collected from students is regularly disclosed to their parents or carers.

7. The College may store personal information in the ‘cloud’ which may mean that it resides on servers which are situated outside Australia.

8. The College’s Privacy Policy sets out how parents or students may seek access to personal information collected about them. However, there will be occasions when access is denied. Such occasions would include where access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, where access may result in a breach of the School’s Duty of Care to the pupil, or where students have provided information in confidence.

9. The College’s Privacy Policy also sets out how you may complain about a breach of privacy and how the College will deal with such a complaint.

10. As you may know the College from time to time engages in fundraising activities. Information received from you may be used to make an appeal to you. It may also be disclosed to organisations that assist in the College’s fundraising activities [solely for that purpose]. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

11. On occasions, information such as academic and sporting achievements, pupil activities and similar news is published in School Newsletters and magazines [and on our website]. Photographs of student activities such as sporting events, school camps and school excursions may be taken for publication in School newsletters and magazines and on our intranet. The College will obtain separate permissions from the Students’ parent or carer prior to publication if we would like to include photographs or other identifying material in promotional material for the school or otherwise make it available to the public such as on the internet.

12. We may include students’ and students’ parents/carers contact details in a class list and school directory

13. If you provide the College with the personal information of others, such as doctors or emergency contacts, we encourage you to inform them that you are disclosing that information to the College and why, that they can access that information if they wish and that the College does not usually disclose this information to third parties.

Christian Meditation at


“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey, we are spiritual beings on a human journey”

(Stephen Covey)

Why Christian Meditation? We believe all people are born contemplative, but in our busy world they are bombarded from an early age with noises, stimuli and a message to ‘keep busy’. The aim of Christian Meditation is to teach our students to find God in stillness, silence and simplicity. As the Old Testament says, “Be still and know that I am God”.

What is Christian Meditation? Christian Meditation is an integral part of the College’s Mission Programme as it seeks to impart knowledge about God and provide first-hand experience of God’s love through the experiential process of ‘doing’ meditation. Through meditation, each person lets go of all the distractions around her or him and through praying a mantra, come into being with God.

By allowing students to experience Christian Meditation themselves, John Main believed they would discover their “true selves in their real participation in the reality of God”.

The Meditation experiences found in Trinity’s Mission Programme are designed to help young people enter into the mystery of the sacred, the heart of true faith.

x Christian Meditation is prayer x Christian Meditation is simple

x Christian Meditation is a journey x Christian Meditation is experiential

x Christian Meditation is supported by the Church

What Happens in Christian Meditation?

Meditation is not about getting into altered states of consciousness or seeing and experiencing anything out of the ordinary. It is about entering more fully into the ordinary and discovering the wonder of the presence of God.

x Allows students a chance to enter into the present moment

x Allows a chance to be silent and experience God in the silence

x Creation of a sense of community

x People are calmer and more relaxed

(Source: Coming Home by Ernie Christie, Townsville)

Meditation brings about change in the people who do it. The change can be described in what St Paul called the “Harvest of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22)

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Fidelity, Gentleness and Self-control

Christian Meditation is taught sequentially from Year 7 to Year 12 by teachers who have been formally trained, as part of the Religious Education Programme being offered at the College.

As a form of prayer, Christian Meditation is practised over a 10 minute period three times each week. Trinity students are afforded other occasions in which to practice Christian Meditation during the course of the school day should they chose to. �

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program 2020

Years 7 to 12

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program The College is committed to providing the highest standard of education for our students. Digital learning is a critical component of contemporary education with a growing need to equip our students with a skill set that befits the emerging technological future. As technology integration in classrooms continues to evolve it has become an essential tool that is regularly relied upon for school work set in class and at home.

What is our current BYOD program? In 2020, all students in Years 7 & 8 and Years 10, 11 & 12 at Trinity Catholic College, Lismore are required to bring their own laptop device to school each day. Year 9 students will continue to use College devices in class as needed but will not need their own device at school until they are in Year 10 in 2021.

What type of device can students bring? The table below sets out the minimum specifications required in Chromebook, Windows and MacBook devices.

We prefer Year 7 and 8 students to have a Chromebook. There are many reasons for choosing the Chromebook as our preferred device for Junior students including:

● Low cost

● Educationally sound

● Robust and light casing

● Secure and easy to use

● Long battery life

● No installations required as browser-based

Across all subjects we are committed to teaching students the skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity in learning. We use the Google Suite for Education tools and our Lighthouse learning platform for online learning activities and to develop foundational ICT capabilities as they relate to internet access and cloud computing.

This means the Chromebook is more than adequate to meet the demands of our early high school learning environment.

As students develop more advanced ICT capabilities and start to choose more specialised subjects in their later years of schooling, a device with higher specifications may become preferable. A Chromebook will not meet the needs of more specialist users, particularly students with multimedia skills who require the use of Adobe and Microsoft Office programs. Students with elective subjects including Multimedia, Digital Photography, Music, IST and IPT should consult with their teachers about requirements.

Additional RequirementsAll students must have headphones or earphones for their device.

To safeguard the physical condition of the device, a protective case and/or cover are desirable.

Windows devices must have an up-to-date anti-virus application installed before they can be connected to the network.

Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) is highly recommended if you think the device is in danger of being lost or damaged. This could be provided by your home insurer or purchased separately.

Extended 3-year Warranty, preferably onsite, is also recommended to avoid high additional costs and delays. Most devices come with a standard 12-month warranty which does not adequately match the life of the device.

Software RequirementsThere are no additional software purchases required beyond anti-virus protection for Windows devices. All required software applications for specialist subjects will be available via the College.


Where can I get a suitable device?

A range of devices in a range of price categories meet the minimum device specifications. Families may purchase a suitable device from any supplier they choose.

School-approved devices can be viewed on the web portal, ordered online for home delivery or viewed and purchased in their Ballina store. The web portal can be accessed athttps://theschoollocker.com.au/schools/trinity-catholic-college/technology

You will need to log in to receive the special education prices being offered.

The purchase of a device is a major decision and a significant expense. The School Locker are also able to offer finance and leasing options. Please speak to one of their staff in store for additional information.

Families are not required to purchase a new device if students have an existing device that meets our minimum specifications. We strongly recommend that Warranty agreements and Accidental Damage Protection are carefully considered.

What is expected of you? Students are expected to:

● Bring their device to school every day

● Charge their device at home each night

● Take care of the physical condition of their device

● Back-up their files - Google Drive is provided

Students are expected to adhere to the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Student Agreement that is signed before onboarding and available on our website. We encourage parents to discuss the expected code of conduct with their child.

The parents’ role is to supervise their child on the device at home to prevent students from viewing or downloading content or applications that are age restricted and may not be suitable for them. We encourage parents to educate their child about the dangers of social media and the Internet. The eSafety Commissioner’s website provides up-to-date information and advice for parents and the College provides parent and student access to various internet safety initiatives throughout the year.

While the College will provide reasonable support to ensure students are connected to the network, the College does not manage, support, own or warrant the device - it’s your device.

How does the device get connected to the College network?Year 7 Student devices will be onboarded to the College network on the first day of term with the assistance of College IT Staff. Year 10 students with current College logins can onboard their devices by navigating to https://cloudpath.trinitylismore.nsw.edu.au and following the prompts.

What happens in the event of a broken or lost device?The College is not able to provide long-term ‘loaner’ devices to students. It is the family’s responsibility to provide an alternative device if there is a delay in obtaining a replacement for a lost or broken device. For this reason, we highly recommend that Accidental Damage Protection and Onsite Warranty agreements are seriously considered.

For short-term issues, students can apply to their Head of House for permission to borrow a College Chromebook (subject to availability) from the Library for one lesson at a time if their teacher requires it. Chromebooks are also available in libraries at break times for schoolwork use but they may not be taken home.

If you are experiencing financial hardship please contact the Principal, Brother John Hilet, to confidentially discuss solutions.

Student Code of Behaviour Years 7 - 12

Sport

Background Trinity Catholic College Lismore believes in the fundamental value of sport as an essential part of the personal development of all students. The College also recognises the need to provide opportunities for all students to feel a sense of value and achievement in what they do. In response to an increasing number of students wishing to follow an interest in non-traditional sports, the traditional nature and structure of sport has widened to include a much more diverse range of opportunity. Years 8 -12 have the opportunity to participate together in a broad sports/activities programme while at the start of Year 7 students are kept together in a House Competition, prior to joining the programme. At the same time, Trinity is determined to continue to uphold its proud record of achievement in traditional sporting competitions and activities. Trinity continues to hold the mantle of one of the most successful sporting schools in Northern New South Wales. The College is the oldest Catholic College in the region and has a sporting tradition dating back to the 1886.

The Traditional Trinity has an outstanding record of achievement in the following sports and sporting competitions: § Australian Marist and Combined Catholic College’s

(CCC) Basketball § Australian Marist Cricket Carnival § Australian Marist Netball Carnival § Cochrane Cup, Country Cup and Titans Shield for

Rugby League § NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Hockey

Championships § NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Male and Female

Soccer § Netball NSW Schools Cup § Diocesan and CCC Rugby Union, Athletics, Cross

Country & Swimming § Waratah and Coast to Country Cups in Rugby Union § FNC Rugby Union 7’s § Bill Turner Cup and Trophy Football Competitions § Downie, Berg, Gilchrist, Phelps and Larsen Shields

in Cricket § Lismore Diocesan Male and Female Football,

Basketball, Rugby League, Water Polo, Tennis, Touch Football, Rugby Union, Volleyball, Netball, Gymnastics, Athletics, Cross Country & Swimming

Most of these sports are offered at both junior and senior levels, and in both male and female categories. The Traditional - Non-Competitive Many students enjoy participating in sporting activities as part of their social interaction. Their enjoyment comes not from a sense of winning, but through the friendships that are enhanced through sport. Trinity offers a diverse array of traditional sports at a non-competitive level for those students who wish to simply participate and enjoy sport with their friends. Many of the representative sports are offered in this way, together with sports such as Futsal, Lawn Bowls, Oztag, Gym, Skating, Ultimate Frisbee, Table Tennis, Ten Pin Bowling, Gymnastics, Swimming and Volleyball.

The New Amongst the new inclusions for students to pursue are: § Group Fitness § First Aid § Self Defence § Gymnastics § Cheerleading § Yoga/Pilates § Exercise For Girls § Music Ensemble / Stage Band § Walking § Dance Company § Gym

The list is constantly changing to meet the interests of students and the availability of staff and facilitators.

House Events Trinity runs five major House-based activities each year. The Participation Swimming Carnival, Championship Swimming Carnival, Athletics Carnival, Cross Country Carnival and Foundation Day Activities. The main aim is to encourage students to perform beyond their ability through inspiration and support of their team mates and have as much fun as possible along the way. The House Chants which take place prior to the Participation Swimming Carnival are a highlight of the year for our various Houses. The tradition, noise, colour and comradery are a spectacular not to be missed. Year 7 students also contest the Pat Robinson Cup, a House based sporting competition during Term 1.

The Community Trinity also makes a strong contribution to the community via the sports and activities program. Community Service is an integral part of the curriculum, and via the sport program students can participate in various community activities including environmental and educational projects. Trinity students and staff have also performed well in recent years in community events such as the Lismore Samson Challenge, Darrel Chapman Fun Run and Gold Coast Marathon.
