Holy Trinity School Fair
Hopefully families will have seen notices around the school about the annual summer fair!
We appreciate that our parents have generously supported the recent additional fundraiser for air conditioning in the school. The summer fair is one of the events that raises money to support our arts curriculum. This money provides opportunities for children to work with specialists on a range of arts activities across the year.
The fair is also a wonderful time for us to come together as a school community so please support the event in any way that you can.
Look out for communication from PiP representatives.

Christian Vision
At the heart of Holy Trinity & S. Silas School are high expectations and depth in faith that inspire our children to grow, flourish and work together to achieve their full potential. It is our intention for all children to develop their fullest sense of self, both individually and collectively.
Strong in our faith in God, let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, by encouraging one another.
Hebrews 10: 23-25
This week we learnt about St Francis, a well known saint who helps us to know how to be good people and how to look after our world. St. Francis believed that every animal, from the tiniest ant to the biggest elephant, deserved to be treated with kindness and respect. He didn’t just love animals; he also loved all of nature and saw beauty everywhere. St. Francis was known for being a very peaceful and loving person. He believed everyone should try to live together happily, without conflict; to be kind and forgiving, even when it was hard. He showed love to everyone he met.
Through the life and actions of St Francis, we learn important lessons in how we need to be kind to all animals, care for our beautiful planet, and be peaceful and loving to everyone. These are things we can do every day, be it at home, school or in our community.
Job 12:10
In the Lord’s hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

New Emotional Wellbeing Website for Young People and Families
A new NHS website, packed with emotional wellbeing and mental health information and resources, has been launched to help young people and families, as well as professionals working with them, to navigate support options.
NCL Waiting Room was produced with the help and input of young people, families and professionals. It aims to be a ‘one-stop shop’ for information on specialist mental health services, community groups, emotional wellbeing and self-care resources.
It allows young people and their parents or carers to search for, filter and share resources based on their needs and preferences.
NCL Waiting Room will continue to grow and develop, so watch this space for more details. You can visit the website here and try out the Support Hub resource navigation feature here.
If you have any feedback on the website, you can do this on the relevant pages of the site, or email rtown@tavi-port.nhs.uk
