Food Bank

Collection

Next week Trinity will be once

again supporting our local food

bank. Harvest time is a great time

to share with others and students

are asked to bring in one item (or

more if possible) to send to those in

need in our community. The food

bank is particularly asking for boxes

of breakfast cereal, tinned

vegetables, jars of sauce and tinned

meat such as meatballs, curry,

spaghetti Bolognese etc. Other

tinned or long dated products are

appreciated although they already

have a lot of soup and

pasta. Please could these

donations be brought into

school on Wednesday 4th

October (or Thursday 5th October

in the morning), thank you.

Education for life in all its fullness

Royal Academy

of Arts

Workshop On Thursday Year 10 GCSE

Art students were very fortunate to

have a portrait workshop with a

tutor from the Royal Academy of

Arts. They participated in a range of

drawing activities- focusing on

observation, skill and expression.

They created a range of studies

using a variety of chalks and

charcoal, working at a range of

different scales. They were able to

work not only from secondary

observation but also from life, using

a model. This was a very beneficial

and worthwhile experience for all

students. We kindly thank Knole

Decorative and Fine Arts Society

for their contribution.

The Skinners’

School

University Fair Our Year 11 Gifted and Talented

students were fortunate to be

invited to the Skinners’ University

Fair on Thursday 21st September.

Over 30 Universities took part and

Trinity students were able to ask

questions regarding the degrees

available, entry requirements and

university life. 11 of our students

attended. George Northcroft said ‘It

gave me a great opportunity to

learn about universities, personal

statements and my future prospects.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening’.

The photograph shows a number of

our students who attended the fair.

Chaplaincy

“For if we could control our tongues,

we would be perfect and could also

control ourselves in every other way….

the tongue is a small thing that makes

grand speeches. But a tiny spark can

set a great forest on fire.

And among all the parts of the body,

the tongue is a flame of fire. “

James 3:2. 5-6

This week Mr Williams spoke to us

in worship about kind speech and

the power of our words. We have

talked about the words of Jesus in

the Beatitudes and also the much-

quoted Mark Twain, when he said

that he could live for 2 months on a

compliment. All this has led to a lot

of reflection by the students on how

we speak to and treat others. Next

week we hope to try and help

others through donations to our

local food bank as mentioned earlier

in this newsletter.

Giving thanks for:

Opportunities to reflect and

pray together

Our new prefects, student

council members, house

stars and captains as well as

all other student leadership

roles

Praying for:

All those who use food

banks around the world and

in our community

Students who have not yet

taken on leadership roles

and that they may have the

chance and confidence to

do so

Many thanks and God bless,

Alice
