In recent years, holistic development has become more important from an early stage of a child’s life. Trinityhouse Schools focuses on taking this holistic approach in its teaching methods to support each child’s development.
Trinityhouse staff play a central role in learning policies. They endeavour to help students discover their identities and find meaning in their community and the world through holistic teaching methods. This brings us to the points of pride at Trinityhouse Schools.
“We make it our mission to bring out the best in everyone from our students, staff and parents to the wider community. Apart from academic excellence, our schools also aim to develop character, compassion, and service,” says Marthie van der Wat, Head of Marketing at House Schools, ADvTECH.
Pride in a Christian Ethos
Trinityhouse operates within a Christian ethos at its core and suggests all people can connect to educating for faith, wisdom, knowledge and skills; educating for hope and aspiration; educating for community and living well together, and educating with dignity and respect. These strong traditions and values, together with a curriculum covering all facets of its pupils, ensure that the schools produce capable adults who are an asset to society.
Pride in Academics
Academically, pupils at Trinityhouse are prepared for the final Independent Exam Board (IEB) matric examinations. Trinityhouse Schools prides itself on its 100% pass rate, with a number of pupils achieving a minimum of two A-aggregates per student, year after year, some of whom rank within the top result bracket in the country.
Pride in Learning Environments
Learning takes place in spacious, well-equipped classrooms linked to the latest technological networks with access to the internet. Some classrooms also have smart boards and data projectors. The learning experience is further enhanced by life-science and science laboratories, computer rooms, STEAM education and well-equipped libraries. Hence, pupils have access to a broad spectrum of resources during their studies.
Pride in the Arts
Trinityhouse also offers art as one of its subjects. Art is viewed as fundamental in developing certain key skills where interest is nurtured and talent is encouraged. It is through the school’s art programme that skills can be embraced and developed.
It is important to bear in mind that schooling is not only about academic achievements. There is much more to it! Trinityhouse Schools serves to help pupils socialise and develop emotional control. These aspects of schooling are not of trivial importance. Just as cognitive development, they are associated with better outcomes in adulthood.
Pride in the Individual
Trinityhouse Schools focuses on the development of each individual as they fit into the school space. As a school brand, we place importance on the individual’s autonomy to grow at their own pace while being cognisant of the needs and sensitivities of those around them. Trinityhouse pupils are encouraged to grow and thrive in the process of making friends, discovering what is important to them, and making sense of limitations with which they can comfortably live as opposed to those that challenge them and inspire them to do better.
Pride in Sports
A wide range of sports activities is an inherent element of holistic education at the Trinityhouse Schools. The importance of sports in education is a powerful tool in developing a healthy body and mind. Fundamentally, the benefits of boosting self-esteem, reducing stress, improving sleep, and developing teamwork and sportsmanship are great motivations for pupils. Instruction for these takes place in premium facilities with expert coaches. Over the years, pupils from the school have performed well in various competitions across all disciplines.
Pride in Culture
Just as sports, cultural activities are of great importance at Trinityhouse Schools. This modern-day philosophy focuses on imparting various skills that build confidence, communication, etiquette, and more. The variety of cultural activities on offer come into play, instilling these skills in Trinityhouse pupils. Encouraging students to participate in cultural activities is most effective to instil personality-related skills.
Pride in Service
Trinityhouse Schools wants its pupils to be successful in the classroom and ultimately in life. Therefore, they have a variety of opportunities for servicing their communities. To participate in community service makes a difference to the people being served and to every pupil’s career prospects. It also helps pupils develop civic and social responsibility skills and become more aware of their community needs.
Pride in Diversity
Trinityhouse pupils are empowered to embrace diversity through life lessons that are taught concurrently with curriculums. This creates an inclusive space for all children to reach their full potential.
Pride in our Alumni
Trinityhouse Schools is proud to equip its pupils to flourish in school and life’s journey ahead of them. We continue to remain honoured and delighted by the number of our pupils who go on to achieve great success and make meaningful contributions to society.
In conclusion, Trinityhouse Schools is proud to boost the morale of our pupils so that they can go on to achieve greater heights for their futures while becoming upstanding citizens who contribute to the growth and development of society and the country. Hence, the holistic development of pupils is very important right from the beginning of school-going years.
