A few more dates for the diary…
Congratulations to Morvern Graham who won first prize in the Paolozzi Prize for Art Award Ceremony at the National Gallery.
The ceremony was an event showcasing talent from S4-S6 from across the city’s secondary schools. The judges were looking for students who could demonstrate the potential to make a career in art, and who showed artistic quality, maturity and confidence in their medium.

A proud moment for Morvern and, of course, for Trinity Academy.

Trinity Academy Under 18s won the Edinburgh Schools Under 18s rugby 7s championship. 
Pupils from Trinity Academy visited the Queensferry Crossing Contact and Education Centre for an informative tour of Scotland’s largest infrastructure project.
The opportunity gave them a chance to put what they’d learned in school into context and be inspired about the career opportunities within the STEM sector.
The team are participating in the first Go Forth competition later this year which aims to raise the profile of Engineering.
In addition to the Trinity Academy pupils in the previous post, Ted O’Connor and Felix Hale (left) were part of the bronze medal winning 4x100m team for their age group.
