This week, the JBugs (Junior Year students) took a welcome break from their exams to compete in the annual Junior Triathlon, raising money for the Trinity Malawi Project.
In teams of three, they embraced the challenge of swimming 150m (six lengths of our indoor pool), cycling 3km, and running 2km (around our grounds).
Despite heavy showers at one-point, which spectating students seemed to enjoy a bit too much, they all demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience. It was heartening to see the students cheering each other on to reach the finish line.
While participation is what truly matters, congratulations go to the team awarded first place: Adam B, Finn H, and Gabriel D!
The boys surpassed their target of £600 through sponsorship from family and friends. Thank you to everyone who donated. We have a long-standing partnership with Chipwepwete Primary School in Malawi and the charity Hope4Malawi. All funds raised contribute to the feeding programme, which costs just £15 per year per child, and the construction of a new classroom block.
Our current Upper Sixth are preparing to visit this summer, and we hope that many current JBugs will be able to see for themselves the impact their support has made in Malawi in the years to come. If you would like to support the Malawi Project, our Junior Triathlon 2024 fundraising page is still active, and we are grateful for all contributions: Trinity School is fundraising for Hope4Malawi (justgiving.com)
Well done to the entire year group and thank you to all staff who helped with the smooth running of the event.
