Clubs Going UP on a Thursday

By: Molly Pearson

Last Thursday night, members from Holy Trinity’s incredibly diverse clubs flooded the atrium in preparation for the First Annual Clubs Banquet. This banquet was held to honour our dedicated club members and all of the work they put into our school.

Put together by Miss Di Federico and student representatives Maddi McNevitts and Kate Ingman, the evening started off with socializing as the attendees began to arrive. They were not without boredom however, as there was an exciting photo booth set up for their enjoyment. Boas, big sunglasses, funny hats - you name it - it was at their fingertips for frame worthy snaps.

Then it was time for what everyone had been waiting for, dinner! Catered by Luigi’s Catering, the spread was delicious, plentiful and highly popular amongst the students, who sat in the cafeteria at spirited black and gold tablecloths for their meal.

That’s not to mention, however, the incredible selection of desserts that the club members dug into as the awards were given out. Each club awarded a member with a Most Active Contributor (M.A.C.) award, as well as an award voted on by the club members. Some honorable mentions include:

Post awards, the Titans retired to the theatre for a motivational talk from self-proclaimed “Motivational Humourist”, Judy Suke who told about finding your passion and working towards a happy life. She kept the students laughing whilst also touching on very important topics in the teenage life.

Overall, the night was a huge success, an excellent and much needed chance to recognize the extraordinary efforts put forth by those in clubs! Keep up the great extracurricular involvement and GO TITANS!

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!
