MESSAGE FROM THE HEADTEACHER
Dear Parents/Carers
This week at Trinity, students have been busy completing their end-of-year exams and taking part in a wide array of different extra-curricular activities. There have been Duke of Edinburgh preparations, cricket, rounders and a school trip to the Big Bang Fair, to name but just a few of the events. Building our Broadening Horizons programme for next year remains one of our priorities. This is an area where all schools lost momentum during the pandemic and I am delighted to announce that next year our programme will include at least one significant cultural capital experience per term for Year 9 and 10, as well as some fantastic school trips to Holland, Barcelona and the Battlefields in France. Our House System and Extra-Curricular programmes are already bursting at the seams with events that will suit all interests; it is going to be a very exciting year!!
This week we say farewell to our Year 11 and 13 cohorts. We wish them all the best for the future, and we look forward to you keeping in touch and sharing your success stories with us.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mr Ford
Headteacher
LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT
The Languages Department are very excited to be hosting two transition days with both Birchensale and Woodfield in early July. Year 8 students will be spending the morning at Trinity; getting to know the MFL department, participating in a Year 9 lesson and enjoying some French and Spanish snacks! We look forward to meeting the students before they start with us fully in September!
PYRAMID CONCERT
Trinity Pyramid Summer Concert – Friday 1st July 6pm @ Trinity High School Main Hall. To purchase tickets please follow the link below
DOFE
Bronze DofE Assessed Expedition Mon 4th – Wed 6th July
Silver DofE Assessed Expedition Mon 4th – Thurs 7th July
All students will need to collect their rucksacks from the DofE cupboard next week. Year 10 students come to school on Mon 4th in their DofE clothes and drop their rucksacks off in the Main Hall in the morning.
FREE SANITARY PROTECTION FOR PE
Packs of sanitary towels and tampons have been offered and are now available, free of charge, during PE lessons for Year 9 & 10 students. If any further supplies are needed, please ask students to come to Pitstop.
ESPORTS
Some 73 million people watched the League of Legends 2021 World Championship Final, which, for context, is around three-quarters of the total audience for that year’s NFL Super Bowl. So Esports is demonstrably growing in popularity and credibility, in fact, video gaming will feature in next month’s Commonwealth Games as a pilot scheme, with a view to becoming a full medal event for 2026. If we’re to see future generations of youngsters being encouraged to become esports competitors (instead of, say, footballers, swimmers or cricketers), then parents, carers and teachers will be required to become familiar with the possible pitfalls. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide brings you the need-to-know basics of professional esports. Please see atttached for more information.
PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
Our latest Photography Competition, open to all students, is now live on the Hub, Everything Arts. The theme is simply ‘NO FILTER’, so it can be any theme, but strictly UNEDITED! Deadline 8th July 2022.
CAREERS EVENT
You are cordially invited to a 16+Careers and Progression Pathways Evening on Tuesday 12th July at Trinity High School Main Hall at 6.00pm. The event is to explain about the different options and choices your child has beyond Year 11. It will include information about colleges, apprenticeships, T Levels and Trinity High School’s own Sixth Form. There will be a chance to ask questions and collect relevant literature.
OLD PE KIT DONATION REQUEST
Request for any redundant PE kit lying around to be considered for donation to our PE Department. Either to be dropped off at reception or students welcome to drop off at the PE Department whilst in school. All donations will be gratefully received.
LOST PROPERTY
The items on the attachment are currently in our lost property box. If you recognise any of the items, please send your child to student services where they can claim the item. We also have several different pieces of jewellery to be collected. Any items that are not collected by the end of term will be taken to the local charity shop. Please see the attached.
In our drive to broaden our vocabulary, please find our new T2 Workable Word of the week – ‘SEEK’ If you ‘seek’ something you try to find or obtain it. But it doesn’t have to be something you have lost, it is often used to describe people trying to improve their lives or start something new. If you are in an ambitious community like a school where everyone wants to do well, then those who do not seek new challenges are suddenly the exception and not the norm. They get left behind. ‘Seeking’ a new direction for yourself might be scary. That doesn’t mean you should give up. There might be barriers, such as gender or peer pressure, but those who ‘seek’ to achieve a goal in spite of these, become life’s winners. We use ‘seek’ as a verb.
Here are some ways you could use the word:
“I want to seek new challenges and experiences,” said the student heading to university for the first time.
“…seek and ye shall find;” – quote from the Bible.
Where does it come from?
Old English sēcan, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch zieken and German suchen, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin sagire ‘perceive by scent’.
