The award for Maths. Presented by Mrs Devlin and Mr White.
Maths is an indispensable part of our daily lives. There isn't a day goes by when we don't use maths in one way or another. Consequently, our curriculum provides plentiful learning opportunities for our children to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. Our pupils are encouraged to think creatively, take risks for learning and develop the resilience required to consider alternative approaches as they develop their problem-solving abilities.
The award for Best at Mathematics in the school goes to Erin.
Mr Armstrong-
The Overall Literacy Award recognises a student who has demonstrated exceptional progress across all areas of literacy.
At Holy Trinity, we believe that literacy is the foundation of all learning. Strong reading, writing, talking and listening skills empower our pupils to explore ideas, express themselves clearly and succeed across the curriculum. Literacy opens doors to imagination, critical thinking and lifelong learning. This award celebrates not only a love of reading, but also the ability to think creatively and engage deeply with language.
This award was presented by our Chair of BOG Fr Brendan Mulhall.
