Week ending 28 June 2013 - Trinity School

The TPA will also be selling Trinity Mugs and Umbrellas on the evening. If you wish to purchase either of
these items but are unable to attend on the 6 th July, please contact the TPA for an order form and further
details tpa@trinity.croydon.sch.uk
This promises to be an excellent event and it always is. I would like to encourage as many parents, friends
and family to come along, have a picnic and support this event, with all proceeds going to the Neuro
Foundation. Tickets can be purchased online at www.trinitytpa.ticketsource.co.uk. You will also be pleased
to learn that the Met Office currently predicts warm weather for the evening of 6 th July.

Headmaster’s Summer Project
Each year during the summer holidays, all boys in the Lower School have the opportunity to produce a
piece of work for submission for the Headmaster’s Summer Project Prize. This is, of course, entirely
voluntary and any entries should be returned via your son’s form tutor at the start of the new school term
in September.
This will be the last on-line newsletter of the school year and I do hope you have enjoyed reading about the
many and varied achievements of our students. An end of term letter will be produced next week. During
this brief period as Acting Headmaster, I had hoped to instigate some significant changes at Trinity, such as
the acquisition of a School Panther (to be called “Ralphie”), the compulsory singing of “Blue Moon” at each
end-of-term Assembly, and the banning of the word “sesquipedalian” from casual use in the boys’
restaurant. In order that a final note of suspense may be generated, I will refrain from saying which, if any,
of these plans may or may not have come to fruition as part of everyday life at Trinity, from next
September. You will simply have to come back next term to find out.
Before I mumble “thankyoufortheopportunitylordsugar” and scuttle back into the crepuscular, velvety
shadows which are the natural habitat of deputalis headmasteria, may I take this opportunity to wish you
and your family a most peaceful, relaxing and happy summer.
With my best wishes
Joe McKee
Acting Headmaster
