Trinity News: 10th May 2024

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you have had a good week.   The sun is certainly shining this morning and is looking like it will continue to shine for the Trinity Fun Run tomorrow.  I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in our back playground and Victoria Park from 11.00am.   A huge thanks to our TPSA who, despite us having very limited playground space at the moment,  have ‘persevered’ and still managed to organise a fun event for the TPS community.  Please do come along and support.  

Sports day – Friday May 17th

It’s that time of year again when we enjoy our annual ‘sports’ morning in Victoria Park.  This is designed to be a fun event with a much more competitive opportunity provided for P5 – P7 learners at our Athletics Festival on May 30th.   Everyone is very welcome to join us in Victoria Park from approx 9.15am until approx 11.20am.  At the end of the event P1 – P4 are able to leave with parents and carers if you wish them to do so.  Please do let your child’s class teacher know that they are with you.   P5 – P7 may be dismissed direct from the park if permission is granted by parents and carers.  A paper form to be signed and returned to school will be issued today.  All children without a parent or carer present or without permission will return to school to be dismissed at the usual time of 12.00pm. 

Clothing : house colours encouraged

Snack : fruit will be provided

Please make sure your child brings a named, filled water bottle

P1 – P6 picnic to Aberdour : Wed June 19th 2024

Possibly one of my favourite days of the year!   

Coaches are booked and we are hoping for another fabulous turnout of parents and carers to join us on our annual trip to the beach.   The full cost will be £7 per child.  This can now be paid on Parentpay or in cash to the school office.  As always we are operating our pay what you can approach as our aim is that no Trinity Learner will miss out on an opportunity for financial reasons.   The approach is difficult to set up on the Parentpay system so the minimum amount has been set as £3 and maximum at £10. We ask that everyone pays something as this also acts as permission.

Please use the form below to let us know if you are able to come along on the day – some spaces will be available on the coach.

Staffing update : 

Felicity Martin who joined us as part time DHT in November has, unfortunately, been unable to return to work since January due to ill health.    She has now decided to leave teaching and will therefore not be returning to our school.  We all wish her good health and best wishes for the future.   Our senior leadership team will remain as Jacqueline Scott, HeadTeacher, Cheryl Berthinussen, DHT, Aimi McIntosh, DHT and Piers Steptoe, Business Manager.

Food waste

We are experiencing a significant amount of food waste in the dining hall at lunchtime.  Many children say that what is ordered for them they do not like and will not eat!   Please do check the menu with your child.  Staff are present to encourage eating.

Thank you for your support.  Here’s to a great fundraising and fun event tomorrow!
