LINDA LINDA
TRINITYHOUSE GLENVISTA
EXECUTIVE HEAD
What makes Trinityhouse
Glenvista a unique school of
excellence?
One thing that stands out is
that we have a dedicated
and experienced academic
team. We are very fortunate to
have a school population that
reflects the world. Our diversity
is seen both in our staff
complement and students.
Our high-performance
culture has led us to produce
impeccable results with
exponential growth.
What would your peers say
about you that makes you a
great Principal?
I strive to give my employees
a sense of empowerment by
constantly inspiring them. I’ve
been described as a Head
that embodies school spirit.
Just like being highly visible,
it needs to be obvious to
students that I love the school
and have their best interests
at heart.
As we head into the new year,
what exciting plans do you
have on the cards for 2022?
We look forward to taking
occupation of the new high
school building, and we will
also be offering new subjects
in the high school (EGD, IT
and accounting). We will be
increasing our sports offering,
including mini-cricket and
basketball, and we will also
be introducing things like
an international tour and
leadership camps.
Every situation has a silver
lining. What is the silver lining
of the Covid-19 pandemic?
“It always seems impossible
until it’s done.” – Nelson
Mandela
What is your year-end prayer
and wish for your Trinityhouse
family?
2021 continued to test all of us,
and yet we have made it till the
end. The Covid-19 pandemic
has presented us with a myriad
of challenges and excitement
that we could have done
without, so here’s to a dull
and boring 2022, although
I suspect that we won’t be
quite that lucky. In all of this,
we have much to be grateful
for, as we have (for the most
part) been spared the ravages
of Covid-19. In this season of
reflection and thanksgiving,
it is important to keep those
who have been affected by
the pandemic in our thoughts
and prayers. If there has been
a silver lining to this particularly
dark cloud, it is that we as
a school community have
demonstrated innovativeness,
resilience and determination
as we quickly adapted to
remote teaching, learning
and working. I want to thank
our staff for the hard work,
dedication, and commitment
exhibited throughout the year.
I am painfully aware of the
personal and professional toll
this took and salute you for
your contribution. We not only
survived but thrived as we
continued to deliver excellent
service.
We must continue to work
with a common purpose to
overcome our challenges.
The year ahead will be
challenging, perhaps in a
different way, but we face
it confidently knowing that
we are a resilient and strong
team. Despite the challenges,
we remain committed to
working with the rest of
the Trinityhouse Glenvista
community to ensure that
we continue to deliver an
excellent experience to all our
students and our parents. I
wish you and your families a
peaceful and joyous holiday
season. May the peace and
goodwill of the season always
fill your hearts, and may the
New Year find you renewed,
restored and refreshed. In all
of this, we have much to be
grateful for.
