Extra-curricular activities and
positions of responsibility
There
are a vast number of extra-curricular activities that sixth formers can take
part in at Trinity. Essential to
personal development, as well as securing places at university for competitive
courses, extra-curricular activities are an important part of sixth form
life. There are U-18 sports teams with
regular fixtures and external coaches provide high quality support. In addition to sport, there is drama, music, debating,
community service, current affairs, dance and outdoor activities. There is a tradition of accessing local
community facilities in addition to on-site provision. There is a thriving CCF at Trinity and
students can take part in Ten Tors and complete their Duke of Edinburgh awards. Student success is celebrated in the Sixth
Form magazine, written, edited and published by sixth formers.
The
prefect team, led by the Heads of School, develop leadership and teamwork
skills whilst providing an invaluable service to their community. There are various committees, headed up by
Senior Prefects, with responsibility for the excellent peer mentoring system,
raising money for charities, organising social events, looking after the sixth
form centre, boarding, cross-phase links and communication. Becoming a prefect is an honour and carries
various privileges beyond those enjoyed by all the sixth form.
