School hosts successful interschool sport festival
Trinityhouse Little Falls (THLF) recently hosted its first-ever Inter-Trinity Sports Festival, an energetic celebration of sport, school spirit, and community.
The two-day event took place earlier in June, brought together primary school learners from four Trinityhouse campuses for two fun-filled days of matches, music, and unity.

The festival featured soccer, netball, and rugby for boys and girls in the U7 to U13 age groups. With over 1 500 learners participating and an estimated 1 000 spectators attending, the event made a strong debut as a new tradition in the Trinityhouse calendar.
While the event focused on school spirit and the love of sport, and no official scores were recorded, THLF teacher and sports co-ordinator Peter Jacobs reveals that their teams performed exceptionally well across all sporting codes. Parents and staff cheered from the sidelines, while children enjoyed the opportunity to play against their peers from other campuses in a supportive and spirited environment.
'Our goal was to bring the schools together and strengthen our sense of family across the campuses.'
One of the standout moments of the festival, according to Peter, was the impressive turnout and the show of support from the school's leadership.

The managing director, chief operating officer, and head of marketing for the house schools were all in attendance, further highlighting the significance of the occasion. Community support was also felt through generous sponsorships.
Eleven different sponsors came on board, providing each participating student with a goody sling bag filled with items. Teachers received branded festival shirts and caps and were treated to catering throughout the weekend.
'There were no major challenges during the event, everything ran smoothly thanks to careful planning and the incredible support from staff and parents,' Peter shares.
The event received positive feedback from everyone, with many expressing appreciation for the event's organisation and its emphasis on unity and enjoyment. Following the success of this year's festival, Trinityhouse plans to grow the event next year.
'We're looking at including more teams and even looking at the feasibility of involving our high schools as well,' Peter added.
