Week 19

Friday 31st January 2025

Hi there!

I really am glad to see the dark days of January left behind and look forward to a little brightness in Friendly February – the month to reach out to connect with others and do our best to be a good friend.

We hosted our Open Day for prospective P7 and P6 pupils and parents/carers on Wednesday, and what a brilliant day it was!.

The Assembly Hall was packed and all subject areas were ready to showcase a range of practical activities, demonstrations, resources, information, results, discussions with pupils and staff.

We certainly appreciate everyone taking the time to visit the College to see all that was on offer and also receive an update on the new school build.  It won’t be long until September when we relocate to an exciting new build. 

I sincerely thank all the pupils and an amazing staff who carried out their duties in a most informative and efficient manner.  Our pupils were great ambassadors for the College and carried out their many jobs, which included either presenting in the classroom or as tour guides to absolute detail – well done boys and girls!.  A huge thanks to everyone for making the day such a success.

Don’t forget to check out our Photographs and videos on the website and Facebook asap.  

The EA Portal for Year 8 Applications opened on Tuesday, so we hope Primary 7 pupils will make Holy Trinity College their  no.1 choice for the next journey in their education – a new school with exciting new opportunities ahead.

On a totally different note, Holocaust Memorial Day was held on Monday, marking the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. These poor people endured horrendous death and to visit Auschwitz is quite a harrowing experience!

Tomorrow welcomes 1st February and St Brigid’s Day. Don’t forget to make your St Brigid’s Cross. 

After a pretty hectic but very positive week, it’s now time for a rest!

Bye for now.
