Family Night Under the Stars
Students and their families are invited to the TC Family Night Under the Stars! We have an amazing astronomy program at Trinity College, and a great observatory that our students can use to take images of the deep sky and learn about the universe we live in.
On Wednesday 30 April, we will once again host volunteers from the Perth Observatory who will bring telescopes to show us close-up views of planets and stars within our solar system.
Families can arrive at their leisure/convenience from 6.00pm, to sit out on Mann Oval and enjoy a BYO picnic while the sun goes down. The viewing will begin at approximately 7.00pm (when it is dark enough).
