Year 11 Exam Break

Sport Expectations

From next week onwards, the Year 11's will be on exam break for two weeks, followed by their Christian Service week. However, the PSA summer sporting season continues until the final fixture against Wesley on Saturday 23rd of November. It is an expectation that all Year 11's will fulfil their college sporting obligations and attend each Saturday fixture for the whole term. It will be compulsory for all students to play in the last three fixtures of the term against Guildford (9/11), Aquinas (16/11), and Wesley (23/11). The last fixture is also the day of the Trinity Rowing Regatta. Exam, work, club sport, etc will not be valid reasons for being absent from a sport fixture. None of these fixtures will be a 1sts only fixture.

 

The fixtures and teams will be released on Seqta each week for students and parents to see. The full fixture for each weekend can also be seen on the Sports Fixture page on Seqta. The training schedule will still be the same each week and students are encouraged to attend training; however, it will not be compulsory. If students are playing in a Firsts team, then they are to make every effort to attend training. Students who have two training sessions a week are asked to attempt to attend at least one session. Those students with one session are to try and attend, however we understand that this might not be possible. Rowing will have a separate training timetable. Communication from students to their managers and coaches throughout these three weeks is vital.

PSA Code of Conduct

Walking around the various playing venues on Fridays or Saturdays is always a delight, seeing the multitude of parents, families, spectators, and students gathered to watch and cheer on the Trinity teams. The spirit shown are admired by many of the PSA schools and offer incredible support to the students as they proudly represent Trinity College in the blue and green. While we encourage a strong turnout of spectators each week to bolster the students, it's crucial to emphasise that this support should always be in good spirit, with the well-being of the students, staff, and coaches as the top priority.

 

As we are now three weeks into the 2024/25 Summer season, it is a timely reminder for all families to adhere to the PSA Code of Conduct. This code outlines essential guidelines for maintaining the standard of behaviour expected within the Trinity community. You can find the PSA Code of Conduct on the PSA website - PSA Code of Conduct

 

Let's all continue to support our students in the right manner during every sporting event, regardless of year group, level, or sport.

 

Thank you for your continued support of the Trinity Sporting Program.
