Mr Peter Bollen Headteacher

Champions for Change

Pupils and staff at Trinity High School are fully committed to addressing the issue of sectarianism. Our Pupil Council has drawn up an Anti-sectarianism Charter and has been engaged in a number of workshops and activities to implement its aims.

Anti-Sectarianism Charter

Rules

1. No Sectarian songs or sectarian language in our school 2. Negative behaviour towards peoples‟ beliefs isn‟t tolerated 3. Football Supporting = YES! Football Sectarianism = NO! 4. No Football Colours

Discipline

Being sectarian in Trinity is the same as being racist or discriminatory in our eyes. If you break our rules you will be sent to a Senior Member of Staff. Continue to do this and you will be sent to the Head Teacher, receive a visit from the Campus Police Officer and, in some cases, possibly be excluded.

What You Should Do?

If you see or hear sectarian incidents in the school, report it to a member of staff and don‟t get involved.

Why We Created this Charter?

Trinity Pupils created this charter to encourage the School and the Community to be less sectarian, more open minded about peoples‟ beliefs and to learn the consequences of sectarian actions in our School.

 At Trinity High we are a health promoting school who has been awarded a Gold Award for our achievements in this area. There is a group of pupils and staff who work towards creating an environment which promotes the health and wellbeing of all pupils.

 At the canteen you will find a range of healthy and balanced meals to choose from such as our healthy baguettes, pastas and salads. As well as a range of fruit juices.

 We deliver S3 Health Days. Many of our staff, S5 and S6 pupils delivered the workshops: „Heart start‟; „Zumba Dancing‟ and „Baby Think It Over‟ and „Food Shock‟. The school had a team of medical staff from „Medics against Violence‟ who with Stewart McDonald (our campus police officer) delivered a hard hitting and powerful presentation on violence reduction.

Dorothea McInnes, James McKay-Pearson and Samanthat Feeney in S5 answered our question on what life is like at Trinity.

What was your first day at Trinity like?

SF: Don’t be nervous. Just be yourself and you will meet friends.

DM: Enjoy your first day and just start conversations WITH PEOPLE. This a chance to meet new friends.

JM: It is strange being the youngest again but don’t worry the time passes really quickly so enjoy.

What has been your best time at Trinity so far?

SF: The best years are S1 and S2. Enjoy learning new subjects, meeting new friends before the stress of exams.

DM: The best things about Trinity are the trips. I went on the theatre trip to London with the music department. We went to see ‘Billy Elliot’ and it was amazing.

JM: The teachers are really supportive and there are many great subjects to learn.

What one piece of advice would you give a new S1?

SF: Take class tests and Prelims seriously as they really do matter.

DM: Don’t be in a hurry to grow up. Enjoy your childhood and the early years of school.

JM: Choose friends who support you.

Q What expectations do you have for the new first years?

A Every year I hope that the new first year is as good or even better than the previous one. I hope they are all happy and that they achieve as many qualifications as they can.

Q What do you think are the main factors in the school?

A For me it is all about the relationships. It is about getting on with people in a way that respects them. It is about being welcoming and helpful to others. This school has a strong tradition of fundraising for others. Above all it is about demonstrating the Catholic teaching traditions and giving to others at the heart of the school.

Q What advice would you give to the new S1?

A Be happy, enjoy the school, take every opportunity which comes your way, work hard and always remember you are part of Team Trinity.

If you are in that situation always try and be the bigger person. ‘I’m scared of Remember and always being bullied’ tell an adult, they can help. Your Guidance Teachers and The Pupil Support are there to help you! ‘Try your best to fit in ‘I’m the only one with the crowd. Most moving to this people will be in the school how will I same boat. Try and make friends?’ engage in conversation and join clubs.

‘Everyone will be the same at first but there will be signs and there are ‘What if I always plenty forget my way teachers to ask and around the older pupils to school?’ ask.

My name is Kieran Fallon and I am 12 Years old and my old Primary School was St. Joachim’s Primary. The biggest change of going to Trinity was the size of the school. On the first day I felt excited.

My homework hint would be to do it as soon as you get it! My name is David Ford and I am 12 years old. My old primary was St Bride’s. My favourite subject is Science because of all the experiments. My rating of Trinity is 9.5 out of 10. My advice would be to stay with a group of friends.
