As most of you may know, this upcoming week is Spirit Week at Holy Trinity. This means that every day of the week has as different theme for half civvies or civvies. Here’s a quick overview.

For $3 paid on Tuesday, you can wear:
 

Tuesday February 24th – Jersey Day (half-civvies)

This is the day to show your true colours with the jersey of your favourite sports team or perhaps even your own! Hockey, soccer, basketball, you name it! Anything jersey or sport-related attire goes for this day. 

Wednesday February 25th – Pink Day (half-civvies)

To support our school's anti-bullying awareness program, everyone is encouraged to wear pink on top! If you don’t have a pink shirt or sweater, you can wear red to still show your support. Hopefully with everyone wearing pink or red, us Titans can show that we are united in preventing bullying in our school.

Thursday February 26th – Spirit Day (full-civvies)

H WHAT? HT! Quite possibly the most spirited day of the week, the whole school is guaranteed to be a sea of black, gold and white. Remember, its full civvies, so you can fully show your Titan Pride! Paired with an exciting Winter Pep Rally, this day will be full of spirit and fun! 

Friday February 27th – Pajama Day (full-civvies)

Occupy HT: Grade Eight Visits

This past Tuesday October 28th  was an exciting day for students in their final year of elementary school.

Travelling from Holy Trinity’s feeder schools – Our Lady of Peace, St. Andrew, St. John, St. Marguerite

d’Youville, and St. Michael – the eager students were at the school for a memorable visit.


The day kicked off with an informative presentation about our school community and the awesome

activities it has to offer. Led by grade twelve Prefect Ambassadors Jordyn Bell, Jacob DiCarlo, and Vlad

Podskalniy, Prefects had the opportunity to describe their favourite aspects of student life at HT and

field some questions from the young audience.


Following the presentation, the future freshmen were separated into two main groups: half of the

students spent period 2 touring various classrooms in the school, while the others explored the different

department and club displays in the gym with a course carousel. With a pizza lunch occupying the

visitors during period 3A, the grade eights were recharged for period 3BC when they switched stations

to experience either the carousel or the school tour.


Under the leadership of Mr. McConville and Mrs. Nayyar, and dressed in their finest black and gold spirit

wear, the Prefect committee worked together with Student Council to organize the day’s events and get

the visiting grade eights excited for their approaching high school careers as Holy Trinity Titans.

On Thursday night, Holy Trinity students gathered to eat, sing, and socialize at student council’s first annual Wing Night.

For only ten dollars, students were treated to delicious chicken wings, tasty desserts, and an abundance of entertainment.

The western theme was evident throughout the event, from the plaid shirts to the old western film that was projected onto the walls of the cafeteria.

Attendants were provided with many activities to participate in, such as a nerf-gun shooting range and a photo booth complete with hay bales and cowboy hats.

The night also included an assortment of performances ranging from prepared acoustic circus sets to impromptu karaoke sessions.

Grade nine duo Alex Gorgi and Dimo Ayoub opened the entertainment portion of the evening, performing stripped back versions of Bastille’s “Pompeii” and Imagine Dragon’s “Radioactive”. Grade twelve student Olivia Fava followed their set with a beautiful acoustic version of Ed Sheeran’s soulful “I See Fire”.

Other students took the stage afterwards with karaoke performances of songs like “Party in the USA” and “When I Was Your Man”.

“I’m confident in our performance,” said grade eleven student Khalil Olasimbo after a lively performance of “Man in the Mirror” alongside fellow junior D’Arcy Murphy. “I think me and D’Arcy have a future in the music industry. I’d like to thank all of my fans. God bless.”

Make sure to come to next year’s Wing Night for an evening of guaranteed fun!
