The number and quality of activities at Trinityhouse<br />

High School Little Falls is astounding. This<br />

includes the impressive performances of the high<br />

school production, the stunning sports results and the<br />

academic achievements. The resilience and talents of<br />

our pupils is an inspiration. It is a privilege to be a part of<br />

their “track” race. Our pupils excel on and off the field.<br />

Our Grade 9s had to engage with the serious issue of<br />

climate change and the race against global warming<br />

for a Social Sciences and Natural Sciences project.<br />

Practising Global Competencies and using an inquirybased<br />

approach, this project was academically rigorous<br />

and gave the pupils an opportunity to learn and have<br />

fun. Our pupils faced the challenge head-on. They<br />

were judged on the final presentation, individual<br />

contribution, skills used as well as their creative<br />

thinking. On presentation day, six judges – among<br />

them, external judges who have qualifications in<br />

Engineering, Zoology, and Environmental Sciences –<br />

assessed the projects. This was an important project,<br />

not only because of the subject matter but with an<br />

emphasis on future-focused learning. Pupils were<br />

encouraged to explore the material, ask questions and<br />

discuss ideas.<br />

This year’s production went the distance in its<br />

dramatisation of ‘High School Musical’ (Junior),<br />

in association with Dalro. The choreography was<br />

compiled by one of our Matric pupils, Kira Steele.<br />

A scene from the High School production.<br />

Performed every second year, our production is an<br />

example of how Global Competencies is applied in the<br />

arts. It was also our first production that included the<br />

use of digital backdrops, managed by a fantastic audiovisual<br />

crew of pupils.<br />

The Equestrian Team is on the fast track to success.<br />

The enthusiasm and commitment from the riders are<br />

evident. The dedication to the sport has developed,<br />

with results frequently in the top ten.<br />

Proving a force to be reckoned with in an argument,<br />

our Debating Team is winning fifty percent of their<br />

debates and is now part of the SACEE League. The<br />

team will debate later in the year in the final round of<br />

their league.<br />
