Hello there!
A slightly shorter week as we prepare to celebrate our patron saint, St Patrick. There have been a number of activities running in the College for Seachtain na Gaeilge, eg, Irish Traditional Music, and so on but the highlight was the Year 8 ceili today. Pupils had lots of fun and craic - learning new dances - brought back so many happy memories! A huge thanks to Miss Rafferty for the Ceili workshop and to Miss Mc Curry, Mr Mc Gartland and our Music Students in providing the music and entertainment at the ceili. Lots of opportunities to celebrate our Irish culture.
In addition to studying for Exams, Years 12 and 14 have huge decisions to make re future pathways. Each young person deserves to get the best advice and act on it. South West College were present on Monday, providing advice re Further Education courses and apprenticeships – very informative.
As a continuation of Safer Internet Day, each Year 8 class received further information from PSNI regarding Internet Safety, keeping themselves safe online and Tik Tok advice. It is appropriate this week that our E-Safety focus is: ‘Keep safe: Do not give out personal information (name, email address, phone no., home address, photo, school name) to people you are chatting with online’.
Holy Trinity College is closed to pupils on Friday 15th and Monday 18th for an extended St. Patrick’s weekend.
Wishing you all a lovely relaxing and safe St Patrick’s Day on Sunday.
