We Are Silent: Students Take a Stand for Free The Children

By: Katarina Brkic

On Thursday, April 16th, students participated in a paid civvies day to support Free The Children's We Are Silent  initiative. Around the world, there are many voices that are not heard. The unheard voices are the ones who are denied an education, the victims of bullying, people growing up in poverty, victims of gender inequality, and child labourers.

Several students took a vow of silence during the school day to let those who aren't heard, get a chance to speak out. There were students who also participated in other vows, such as a vow of no social media and a vow of no texting.

Everyone has a voice, and everyone deserves to be given a chance to be heard. Take a moment of silence today as a sign of respect towards these people.

Breaking Through the Cold

By: Katarina Brkic

On Sunday, November 30th, Holy Trinity’s Team Unbreakable running group participated in the Bold and Cold 5K run. This year, our school hosted the run. Students arrived at Holy Trinity early in the morning and met up with their teams for a stretch and group cheer before embracing the cold.

Team Unbreakable’s mission is to help increase awareness by decreasing the stigma surrounding mental illness. This is also a yearly event sponsored by Cameron-Helps. 

As soon as the horn blew, the runners were off! Runners ran 2.5k, and looped back to complete the other half. Luckily for the runners, the weather was on their side, with no snow or rain to slow them down. When runners crossed the finish line, they were awarded with a beautiful Bold and Cold medal. As the run was complete, students, teachers and parents who ran along, gathered in the cafeteria for a hearty breakfast, which included breakfast sandwiches, Timbits, a fruit platter to choose from, and hot chocolate, water or coffee to drink. The smiles on the participants’ faces proved that they had a good time supporting the cause.

Team Unbreakable still meets every Tuesday and Friday after school in room 202 to prepare and run for the next event. Details coming soon! Everyone is welcome!

Team Unbreakable Training to Hit the Big Road

By: Katarina Brkic

Another school year has begun and Team Unbreakable is already in full gear preparing

for the next 5 km run. Holy Trinity’s Team Unbreakable has some great team leaders to coach

and prepare us for the upcoming event, namely Mrs. Rutkowski and back again with us this

year, Ms. Sporcic. The first practice was held on Tuesday, September 23rd .


Team Unbreakable’s mission is to increase awareness by decreasing the stigma

surrounding mental illness. This is a yearly event sponsored by CameronHelps and is in memory

of David Harris’ son Cameron, who took his own life on February 14th, 2005.

Shannon Charters, a 16 year old student who is a part of Team Unbreakable, shared her

thoughts on what it’s like to run with the team. She expressed that, “I run so I’m out of my house

and outside doing something worthwhile with my time. It keeps me in shape while at the same

time; I know I’m running for a great cause.” There is so much positive energy and the group is

full of encouraging people that are full of support.

Everyone is welcome to join and I am personally very proud to be a part of such a terrific

team. Hope to see a great number of new faces at the upcoming practices. Remember HT; have a

great day, and don’t forget to treat everyone with equity, dignity and respect!
