A wonderful celebration!
On 27 May the school celebrated Trinity Day and gave glory to God for his plan for our school.
It was a terrific day and highly successful. The students, dressed in Trinity House colours and Junior School students dressed as Minions, enjoyed a variety of events. Particularly pleasing were the large numbers of students who volunteered to serve in visiting nursing home, making cards for sick people, leading students in afternoon activities, cleaning up rubbish from the local environment and cleaning up a garden of a family in need. I was also delighted the day raised a good deal of money for various worthwhile charities.

Together they managed to transform the garden for them, lightening their load through a true act of service.
