In the Languages Department, we celebrated the festive season with a Christmas card celebration, inviting students to design unique cards featuring messages in a language other than English.
The response was incredible, with students showcasing their creativity and linguistic skills through an array of stunning designs.
These exceptional entries are now proudly displayed in the windows of our languages classrooms, bringing a festive and multicultural flair to our corridors.
Among the standout submissions is a particularly enchanting card crafted by a Year 8 Pupil, whose work exemplifies the beauty of combining artistic talent with a passion for languages.
On the 22nd May, the Year 10 BTEC Dance group took part in a Musical Theatre Dance workshop. The session was led by former Trinity student, Graeme Pickering. His performing arts career as an Entertainment Consultant takes him all over the country casting dancers, creating choreography for live shows and advertising as well as teaching in prestigious drama colleges.
Pupils were inspired by Graeme’s wealth and knowledge of the Performing Arts industry. Graeme was impressed by the pupils focus, interest and dedication to improving their technique.
Thank you to Graeme and all the pupils that were involved.
The Year 12 and 13 Politics students recently went on a tour around the Palace of Westminster to aid their understanding of Britain’s political process.
We started the day by visiting the Supreme Court, before touring Trafalgar Square and walking the Mall, visiting Horse Guards, the National police memorial and going to see Buckingham Palace. We then headed to the Palaces of Westminster. After an engaging tour of the Commons and Lords we then undertook a workshop on how Bills are turned into laws. We then went to see the national covid memorial, Parliament square and the memorial to the end of slavery and the burghers of Calais.
Mr Howell would like to thank all the pupils for their enthusiasm during the day.
On the last week of term, the staff performed an after-school play for charity. It was a tale of an evil Baron attempting to seize the Castle from the good Baron. The Princess was soon imprisoned in a tower by the witch and the Dragon Hotpoint before she was rescued by a dishonest knight. A resistance formed in the forests and Baron Bruno was defeated by Edmund, and all lived happily ever after. The staff would like to thank Mrs Cope for directing the play and leading the cast, and to all those who helped or came along to support the evening. All who took part in it enjoyed it immensely, and many of them said how much they enjoyed the opportunity to do something different all together. We hope the audience enjoyed it, because we did. Certainly, many a star was born as many staff took to the stage for the first time. The pupil’s behaviour and support were wonderful and much appreciated by all who took part and we are already looking forward to returning with a different play next year!
The evening was to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, a cause that is very dear to a large number of us, as we have either lost family members to Cancer, or had family members whose lives have been impacted by the disease. The staff would like to thank all who came along to support and watch them and are proud to announce that the evening raised £334 for charity.
Students have entered the Masterchef International cooking competition in celebration of the school’s annual Cultural Week. There have been some delicious dishes prepared, cooked and presented by our fantastic students!
On Wednesday 16th June 13 dance students participated in a dance workshop in the Drama studio led by Graeme Pickering. Graeme is a former Trinity student and now works as a freelance Choreographer and International Casting Consultant.
The students took part in a technique Jazz dance lesson and were taught some professional repertoire from a musical theatre routine.
All the students thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Their behaviour was impeccable and they whole heartedly threw themselves into the experience.
All the staff and students would like to thank Graeme Pickering.
The Trinity Wargaming club were delighted to head to Warhammer World to play against other schools from across the country. They were a credit to their school, competing fiercely but fairly against a wide range of schools and emerging with a series of victories and defeats as tanks crawled through ruined buildings and infantry tried to rush objectives. The trip also included a visit to the museum. Mr Howell would like to thank all who went for a splendid day!
