TRINITYHOUSE
HIGH LITTLE FALLS
The Trinityhouse High School hymn:
A Prayer for Trinity embodies the
emotional, mental, physical and
spiritual well-being of our pupils.
This prayer is a reflection of all we
strive to achieve at our school.
“O God, our Heavenly Father, we
marvel at Your grace, That You sent
Your Son to save us, to suffer in our
place.”
The Spiritual growth of our pupils is
an integral part of our Trinityhouse
ethos. Devotions given in assembly
by staff members have been
described by a past Matrics as
being “meaningful, thoughtful and
specially planned for the pupils.”
The pupils enjoy the architecture at Prague Castle on last year’s international tour to
Eastern Europe.
The Drive-through Generation by
Mrs. van der Westhuizen highlighted
the importance of endurance
in our fast-paced society and in
the achievement of success with
reference to the Bible. At Easter, Mr.
Bown explained a selection of the
many prophecies made in the Old
Testament of Christ’s coming and
how these prophecies are brought
to fruition in the New Testament.
On Ascension Day, Mrs. Davis
highlighted the relevance of Christ’s
ascension in the modern world.
She focused on the meaning in the
fact that although Christ’s earthly
work as a man was completed,
the ascension sets the pattern
for His return. Mrs. Brett shared a
devotion titled What I learnt about
faith, patience and love from my
six year old, in which she shared
the importance of clinging to God
like a child in all that we face in
life. Important Christian events are
celebrated with special worship
assemblies in which the Choir and
Worship Group perform.
“Grant us feet to do your bidding
and hands to show Your love.”

Every winter, the High School
embarks upon a major knitting
drive. Teachers, parents, pupils and
relatives all become involved in the
project, which involves the knitting
of strips which are joined into
blankets for those less fortunate
than ourselves. We continue our
feeding scheme for our adopted
nursery school and have great
plans to show the love of Jesus on
Mandela Day.
Our pupils have also had the
opportunity to travel and see the
world. In October last year, 45
excited Trinitonians headed off
to Eastern Europe for our second
international tour. Every single
day was a new adventure and an
opportunity to learn more about
Our pupils and their
families have worked so
hard to knit blankets which
will be donated to the
poor this winter.

“Grant us academic fervour and an
ardent love of Art.”
