On Wednesday, May 6th, over 40 students from Holy Trinity, along with Mr. Harkin and Mrs. Mascarin (a retired HT teacher) travelled to Toronto for an exciting trip. The annual music department field trip did not disappoint this year with stops at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Eaton Centre, and Roy Thomson Hall to see the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) play live.

March Break is right around the corner. Are you still trying to figure out how to spend the week off from school? Aside from lounging on the sofa with some friends, some snacks, and Netflix (certainly nothing to be ashamed of- we all do it), here are a few more interesting suggestions for how you can make this Break a memorable one.

Il était un jour d’hiver très beau à Toronto la dernière semaine quand les étudiants de Holy Trinity ont pris une sortie scolaire. Les gens ont regardé le spectacle de théâtre « Zone », et âpres, ils ont mangé au restaurant s’appelle « La Palette ».

Titans’ Senior Boys’ Take Montreal

By: Matt McCoy

The Holy Trinity Titans were in Montreal for a tournament this past weekend that was filled with ups and downs. The team finished with a bronze medal, barely falling short of a finals appearance.

The team arrived on Thursday night to get set for their Friday morning game against an east coast team from Nova Scotia. After two early goals, the team was unable to maintain the lead but managed to pull away with a 2-2 tie.

The following game, the Titans faced off against a local team from Quebec. They managed to take the first of two games played that day. Unfortunately, their afternoon game did not go so well. They just fell short of a victory leaving them with a 1-1-1 record in the tournament.

The team waited in anticipation to see if they had earned themselves a spot in the championship game. Unfortunately, they did not qualify and were placed in the bronze medal game to play the next day..

As the Titans are known for, they finished strong. They not only won the bronze but they took it with style with an 8-0 win over opponents. Player of the game awards were given to Michael Ferrari, Cam Stone as well as Michael Gironda through the duration of the tournament.

Despite the unfortunate result of the tournament, the Titan boys look ahead to finish the regular season off strong before playoffs starting next week. The team hopes to see everyone out this Friday to watch them compete against the teachers in the teacher-student game. Go Titans!

If You Can Make It There, You'll Make It Anywhere

This past week the arts and business students of Holy Trinity experienced the trip of a lifetime. Filled with anticipation and wonder and lead by Mr. Galante and Mr. Finan, these students took a long and exciting bus ride all the way to the great New York City.

The next few days were filled with adventure, excitement, and unforgettable memories for everyone involved. The action-packed trip included a variety of educational museums and tours including the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, the Tenement Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Madison Square Garden.

 The students also explored the monumental landmarks of New York. At night, the students visited Times Square for the first time, blown away by the lights and people that filled the streets. The young travelers were also given the opportunity to walk through the beautiful Central Park and the luxurious Fifth Avenue. Delicious foods were discovered daily, including red velvet cheesecake and New York style pizza. The students also had the chance to see the acclaimed Broadway shows Aladdin and Once.

Filled with laughter, enthusiasm, and new experiences, the trip meant something different for everyone — whether it was seeing the home of a favourite celebrity, learning the fascinating history of New York City, or witnessing the incredible 9/11 memorial.

After an exhilarating and life-changing few days, the students of Holy Trinity made their way back home after experiencing this incredible journey, which they will continue to cherish and remember forever. 

Stay tuned for more information on this amazing trip. Another article will be featured in our first print edition, which will be released in the first week of December!
