THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE
Leaving her home in Malaysia to study at Trinity
College Foundation Studies (TCFS) was a big step
for Stephanie Teong. She didn’t really know what to
expect in the year ahead.
What she found was a year full of fun, hard work, friendship, and new ideas that inspired and delighted her. Now, in this eight-minute DVD, she shares her personal diary of experiences and events that occurred during her ‘amazing year at Trinity College.’
Apart from capturing the imagination of prospective students, this DVD also reflects the quality of Trinity’s academic and support programs and showcases the College’s stunning grounds, excellent facilities, small class sizes, and friendly, nurturing staff.
Launched to an audience that included overseas representatives and senior personnel from the University of Melbourne, My amazing year at Trinity College was conceived and compiled under the guidance of the TCFS Admissions department, and produced by Jack Morton Worldwide, the company responsible for producing the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games opening ceremony and the opening ceremony for the Athens Olympics in 2004.
Although well-supported with this professional expertise, the design and narrative was largely
the work of recent TCFS graduates who are now studying at the University of Melbourne. They appear in the DVD and their creativity and enthusiasm for the project is clearly evidenced in its vibrant presentation, authentic content, and infectious style. Viewing is highly recommended!

Christina Chiam is the Schools Liaison Officer, International, in the University of Melbourne’s Marketing
& Recruitment (Onshore) unit. Christina and her colleagues are extremely active in supporting
international students who are already studying in Australia in secondary schools and foundation
programs in their endeavours to gain entry to Australia’s preeminent tertiary institution.
Helping our youngest students settle inEarly Entry is a special 18-month program designed for students who elect to come to Trinity after completing their penultimate year of schooling. On Monday 2 August 2004, 10 students arrived at Trinity College for the Early Entry program – 1 from Vietnam, 1 from Thailand, 1 from China, and 7 from Indonesia. The Early Entry Coordinator, the Reverend Kim Cruickshank, and other staff had a special first day prepared, including a morning tea with parents and staff, and a yummy satay lunch! My Year
at Trinity College captured on film!

Supporting the University of Melbourne’s close ties with Trinity College
A large part of her job, therefore, is focused on Trinity College Foundation Studies students and ensuring that they are informed about, and prepared for, their studies at the University of Melbourne.
Christina is a regular attendee at the Official Welcomes which herald the start of the Main intake Orientation programs. She also runs a complementary information session for parents, which includes contact with Faculty representatives (either in exhibition or panel format) and an overview of the University of Melbourne. Parents are encouraged to sign up to receive Uni News for Parents, a special hard copy publication that includes news, highlights, student achievements and profiles of special interest to parents of Trinity College Foundation Studies students.
A very important part of the Trinity calendar is Getting Into Melbourne University [usually known as GIMU] day, which Christina coordinates in conjunction
with Ashwinny, Director of Student Services. On this day, Trinity students have the opportunity to hear about the full range of Faculty offerings at the University of Melbourne. Sessions cover important information such as entry requirements, subject offerings, research highlights and career opportunities in great detail.
Christina is proud to be such an integral link between the University of Melbourne and Trinity College Foundation Studies. “My colleagues and I are always so impressed with the quality of the students who come through the Trinity College pathway,” she says.
Christina is pictured above (on the left) during one of her regular information sessions at the Trinity College Student Services department.

Big Noise is an exciting feature of Trinity College’s unique (and compulsory!) Drama classes. It’s a great chance for students to relax, make friends and have fun… and make a lot of noise!

Dato Pehin Suyoi spent several hours at Trinity College meeting staff, touring the facilities, and talking to some of the current and former Trinity College Foundation Studies students from Brunei.
He showed very keen interest in Trinity College Foundation Studies as a pathway for Brunei students to undergraduate study at the University of Melbourne. Speaking at an informal dinner with a dozen young Brunei citizens who are current or past Trinity students, he said how impressed he was with the education and support they received at Trinity. ‘You are clearly in very good hands’, he told them.

VIP visit from Brunei S K I T R I POur journey began before dawn on a cold
Saturday morning. Sleepy, drowsy cold faces
started appearing outside the Student Services
building in Grattan Street as we boarded the bus
for what was to be a weekend to remember.
Most of us spent the 3 hour journey taking a quick snooze. Before long, we arrived at the cabin park that would be our accommodation for the night. Then it was on to equipment rental. The biggest dilemma while getting fitted with equipment was the choice between snowboards and skis. That, and having to reveal our heights and true weights!
Soon enough we found ourselves on the thick snow-covered slopes of Mount Buller. Eager to get our day started we rushed up the ski lifts and made it to our ski lessons with minutes to spare. The instructors were very professional at getting us all started. In the beginning we were just standing on our skis but after a few falls and small crashes many of us managed to make it down the slopes on our own.
Time does fly when you’re having fun! We reluctantly headed back for a warm dinner at the cabin park. The night progressed with a light karaoke session and some rock and roll dancing led by our guide, Peter.
We were back on the mountain early the next morning. A good breakfast gave us enough energy to make it through the day. Many decided to stay on the same slopes as the day before, although an adventurous few took on some steeper ones. The non-skiers spent the day on toboggans, snow ball fights, igloo making, and even a “snow facial”. (Warning: do not try this at home!)
The time came for us to head back to Melbourne, but not without a final picture or three. I can still see spots from all the camera flashes! Once again we were back on the bus, worn out, but not without smiles on our faces. Everyone had the time of their lives, and we had the sore limbs to prove it!
As you can see, the Mt Buller Ski Trip 2004 was a tremendous success. Special thanks must go to Stephen Lew from the Student Services department, who organised everything and kept everyone up to date on the trip. We must also thank our very accommodating tour guides Peter and Damien, our amusing bus driver Michael, and of course all the whacky and fun- loving participants.

NEW Creative Thinking Mid-Year School at Trinity College!
‘OUR WORLD - OUR FUTURE’ A Global Sustainability Seminar for December 2004 Following the success of last year’s inaugural Global Sustainability Forum with the Patron of the Summer Schools, Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty, students at both the Creative Thinking and Science Summer Schools will focus some of their key studies around the theme of Global Sustainability, culminating in a combined Summer Schools’ Seminar to be held at the University of Melbourne, on Thursday 16 December.
Professor Gene Likens will deliver the keynote address via a satellite link from the USA. Professor Likens is a distinguished scientist with an impressive academic record. He holds faculty positions at Yale University, Cornell University, Rutgers University and the State University of New York at Albany, and is one of the world’s leading eco-scientists. At present, he is the Director of the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in New York. Professor Likens revolutionised our understanding of the global nature of environmental degradation with his startling discovery of the phenomenon of acid rain.
For further information, please see www.trinity.unimelb.edu.au/summerschool/
The 2005 Creative Thinking Mid –Year School will be running for the first time from Saturday 2 July to Friday 15 July 2005. Aimed at students in Years 9 to 11 (aged from 15 to 18), the program will expand each student’s approach to critical and creative thinking, with practical involvement in a diversity of problem-solving activities.
There will be a special focus on Global Sustainability issues within some of the key units being studied. The intensive program involves new and exciting learning experiences, and provides many opportunities for students to consider new directions for their senior schooling and vocational futures.
