Over 70 people gathered together for one of the first major events in the village for 2012.
Participants and elective leaders participated in various creative activities during the week long course including: Dance, Music, Poetry, Fiction writing, Photography, Stage craft and Hot glass.

New years day baptism
A beautiful way to begin the new year in the village with a very special baptism, in our new pool, overlooking the Northern Midlands countryside.
Christmas eve – the village walks the streets
(Due to a number of activites and people on holidays recently, a few of these posts were delayed. Here is a few photos from Christmas in the village.)
On Christmas eve many residents of the village walked the streets singing carols to each house.

Trinity Graduation
Trinity Graduation was held on the 3rd of December in the Community Hall.
The students, their family, and the wider community enjoyed an afternoon celebrating the productive year the students had had. Two year 12 students graduated, and shared their encouraging journey through their schooling, and what Trinity has meant to them.
“This community and school has really helped me to get through.”
“It was a really encouraging afternoon seeing the students and hearing some of the beautiful ways they have articulated what the year has meant for them.”
