Celebrating our Amazing Ākonga

Each and every day we are given so many reasons to celebrate our wonderful students here at Trinity. Many of these reasons occur during the school day, and often amazing things are being achieved outside the gates of school where our ākonga are committing hours of their own time to extra study, sport and recreational activities, and cultural and service initiatives in the community. Below are just a handful of the achievements we are celebrating this week!
