[edit] The School Badge
The School Badge, re-designed in 1988, encapsulates much of the school's tradition. The cross is derived from the Bishop's cross. The Fleur-de-lys represents the Loreto School and the Triangle the first symbol of The Trinity School. They are set in our colours of green, black, silver and gold. "Ad Dei Gloriam" our motto, ("To the Glory of God"), sums up the purpose for which we all work and means that in The Trinity School "only our best is good enough."
[edit] Houses
In year 7 pupils are allocated into 4 different houses who compete against each other in a range of fields: Football, Rugby, Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, Athletics to name but a few sporting activities. The school has recently introduced House competitions such as House Debate, Inter-house Drama, Modern Foreign Languages and Piano recitals.
The 4 houses are named after English Martyrs who died in the name of Christianity.
