Champions for Change
Pupils and staff at Trinity High School are fully committed to
addressing the issue of sectarianism. Our Pupil Council has drawn up
an Anti-sectarianism Charter and has been engaged in a number of
workshops and activities to implement its aims.
Anti-Sectarianism Charter
Rules
1. No Sectarian songs or sectarian language in our school
2. Negative behaviour towards peoples‟ beliefs isn‟t tolerated
3. Football Supporting = YES!
Football Sectarianism = NO!
4. No Football Colours
Discipline
Being sectarian in Trinity is the same as being racist or
discriminatory in our eyes. If you break our rules you will be sent to
a Senior Member of Staff. Continue to do this and you will be sent
to the Head Teacher, receive a visit from the Campus Police Officer
and, in some cases, possibly be excluded.
What You Should Do?
If you see or hear sectarian incidents in the school, report it to a
member of staff and don‟t get involved.
4
Why We Created this Charter?
Trinity Pupils created this charter to encourage the School and the
Community to be less sectarian, more open minded about peoples‟
beliefs and to learn the consequences of sectarian actions in our
School.

Dorothea McInnes, James McKay-Pearson and Samanthat Feeney in S5 answered our question on
what life is like at Trinity.
What was your first day at Trinity like?
SF: Don’t be nervous. Just be yourself and you will meet friends.
DM: Enjoy your first day and just start conversations WITH PEOPLE. This a chance to meet new
friends.
JM: It is strange being the youngest again but don’t worry the time passes really quickly so enjoy.
What has been your best time at Trinity so far?
SF: The best years are S1 and S2. Enjoy learning new subjects, meeting new friends before the stress
of exams.
DM: The best things about Trinity are the trips. I went on the theatre trip to London with the music
department. We went to see ‘Billy Elliot’ and it was amazing.
JM: The teachers are really supportive and there are many great subjects to learn.
What one piece of advice would you give a new S1?
SF: Take class tests and Prelims seriously as they really do matter.
DM: Don’t be in a hurry to grow up. Enjoy your childhood and the early years of school.
JM: Choose friends who support you.
8
Q What expectations do you have for the new first
years?
A Every year I hope that the new first year is as good or
even better than the previous one. I hope they are all happy
and that they achieve as many qualifications as they can.
Q What do you think are the main factors in the school?
A For me it is all about the relationships. It is about getting
on with people in a way that respects them. It is about
being welcoming and helpful to others. This school has a
strong tradition of fundraising for others. Above all it is
about demonstrating the Catholic teaching traditions and
giving to others at the heart of the school.
Q What advice would you give to the new S1?
A Be happy, enjoy the school, take every opportunity which
comes your way, work hard and always remember you are
part of Team Trinity.

If you are in that
situation always try and
be the bigger person.
Remember and always
tell an adult, they can
help. Your Guidance
Teachers and The Pupil
Support are there to
help you!

being bullied’
‘Try your best to fit in

school how will I
make friends?’
with the crowd. Most
people will be in the
same boat. Try and
engage in
conversation and join
clubs.

the same at first

signs and there are

My name is Kieran Fallon and I am 12 Years old
and my old Primary School was St. Joachim’s
Primary. The biggest change of going to Trinity
was the size of the school. On the first day I felt
excited. Some teachers can be strict but most
are really good. My advice for the new S1s
coming up would be to stay calm because after
the first week you will get used to it. My
homework hint would be to do it as soon as
you get it!
My name is David Ford and I am 12 years old.
My old primary was St Bride’s. My favourite
subject is Science because of all the
experiments. My rating of Trinity is 9.5 out of
10. My advice would be to stay with a group of
friends. My homework hint is to make sure that
you complete homework as soon as you get it
and note deadlines in the diary planner.
