Dear Parents and Carers
I hope you are all well.
MADD about Film
Our Oscars ceremony was a great success and Oscar statues can now be found proudly displayed in classrooms. Many thanks to everyone for all their work in supporting our learners to produce animations, sound scores, costume designs, art, props, dances and songs. The red carpet was well worn!
Rainbow school
It was lovely to see a rainbow of colours at Trinity Together on Friday. Over the week learners were reminded about our Rainbow colour commitments (see below) and our theme for this year of Take Action. At some point across the school year all stages will take on the specific responsibilities of Rainbow School, starting with P6 from Mon 22nd Sept. Our P7 learners will oversee Rainbow school with each of them being part of a leadership group teaching other classes and organising whole school events. Having briefly met on Friday I was so impressed with their ideas for how and what they can lead.
Our Rainbow commitments are :
Red – Equalities and Diversity
Orange – Outdoor Learning
Yellow – Leaders of Learning
Green – Sustainability
Blue – Global Citizens
Indigo – Health & Wellbeing
Violet – Trinity Together
National Fitness Day – Wednesday Sept 24th
This week we will be taking action for Health & Wellbeing by celebrating National Fitness day. Everyone is encouraged to wear sports clothing to school and to be ready to take part in a fitness challenge. We are delighted to be welcoming Jonny Paterson, a Scottish paralympian who has captained the Scotland Paralympic football team. Thank you to Ms Marshall and to the TPSA for organising and funding this event.

Staffing
We are in the process of appointing a new PSA. The PSA role is key in any school and we are very fortunate at Trinity to have a dedicated team who go above and beyond when supporting our learners, particularly those with additional support needs. They are an invaluable part of the Trinity team.
Having worked full time for over 40 years I have made the decision to reduce my hours. My working week will be Tuesday to Friday. I have every confidence that Ms Cheryl Berthinussen, interim Acting HT on a Monday, and Ms Aimi McIntosh will ensure the smooth running of our school in my absence.
