[edit] Music
Since March 2007, Treviglas plays host to music concerts from bands who are from the school to a paying crowd and give all money to charity. These events are known as "Rock For Charity". Originally created by Sam Skinner, Justin Chapman and James Gormley. In total these concerts have raised up to £2000 for charity. The idea was then passed onto current students Marvin Byrne and Shey Rainbow who continue to organise these events and raise money for charity.
[edit] Sport
The school has several sports teams, such as The Treviglas Rugby Team, The Treviglas Football Team, The Treviglas Cricket team, and the Treviglas Players (Year 11 boys badminton team, previously named the Wildcats). Unfortuanately the Players only came joint third in their recent tournament against other cornish schools with Penrice coming first.
