Our Commitment to our pupils
Our commitment is to expose our students to a large variety of subject areas and arts; promoting character-building qualities that lead to creating well-rounded, global citizens, and of course the more typical expectations of education, which is to provide young people with recognised and meaningful experiences and qualifications that will present opportunities in later life.

Cultural Quest Strategy
To further engage, motivate and challenge our pupils we have introduced an online platform for pupils to manage their participation for which they will receive rewards called the Cultural Quest.
Cultural Quest – online platform.

Impact
We believe that the opportunities provided for students who engage positively with SJCMAT’s Cultural Quest will result in a broad range of positive outcomes. It is important at The Trinity to broaden students’ aspirations, encouraging them to think more holistically about their life experiences. This includes enabling students to adapt to different environments and build social awareness skills. It rewards students for their additional commitment and participation to school life, raising the quality of their lives, their community and society.
