Congratulations to our two S1 and two S2 pupils who took part in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust ‘Team Maths’ challenge yesterday at the Edinburgh University Informatics Forum.

Four girls from S3 have received an award for most original concept at the final of this year’s Design Ventura competition at the Design Museum in London.

The 2015 Design Ventura challenge started with 10,000 participants from 287 schools in the UK and overseas. In December, Trinity’s team pitched their puzzle ‘On the other hand’, designed to teach sign language, to a panel of judges that included Sebastian Conran and Naomi Cleaver.

At the final event, the judges said that the teams present represented “the best design talent in UK secondary schools.”

A number of schools were singled out for special awards, including Trinity Academy’s team.

The finalists’ entries are on display in a purpose-built ‘Design Tank’ beside the Thames where they will be seen by 1000s of people every day until the end of March.

Well done done to everyone (pupils and staff) who took part.

Trinity pupils India Dodd, Sophie Hamilton, Jocelyn Low and Jonah Walsh competed extremely well at the Scottish Schools Swimming Championships, Tollcross, Glasgow this weekend.

We had one medallist – Jonah Walsh (on the right of the photo above) won a bronze medal in the 15/16 yr old Boys 200m Butterfly. Well done to all four.

A Trinity Academy student, Jack Lidell, applied to UNICEF to be one of only 20 bloggers from across the world, and was chosen out of 3,000 applicants. Jack’s achievement was recognised in the Edinburgh Reporter today. He is now halfway through his blogging internship and has about seven more blogs to write. You can read his blogs here.
