TRINITY CENTRAL SCHOOL SCORES ANOTHER CENTURY. “Success come to those who work with earnest
determination, with a steadfast will-power even in
the most towering of challenges.”
In the wake of the pandemic, much has been said
about the un-nerving effects that has caused ripples
in the education sector, confining students to learn
from a 10-inch screen; and with Board Exams
cancelled students were apprehensive about their
future. However, any unprecedented challenge can be
conquered with a confident vision. Keeping their
vision in focus, students and teachers of Grade 10
of Trinity Central School, Perampalli took the bull
by the horns to become ‘matador’ . For a seventh
consecutive time, the school has secured 100%
results in the ICSE Board Examinations, with
fantastic results. Of the 47 students that appeared
for the exams, 3 students topped the charts with
scores of 95% and above, 28 students scored 85% and
above and 16 students securing 75% and above. Ms
Krissel Monteiro took home the honours with a
brilliant 96%, along with Ms Anisha D’silva and
Master Astle Fernandes who scored 95.4% and 95.2%
respectively. The Management, Principal and staff
extends their congratulations to all the students
for the excellent performance, and wish them the
very best in all their future endeavours.
ONLINE CLASSES - MS TEAMS APP : Trinity Central
School
A wise person once said ‘At times, life throws
curve balls that you would not know which direction
to look and the future looks bleak. But whatever the
situation, learning must never stop.‘ An ominous curve ball Covid threw life out
of gear, putting the future of children in uncertain
hands. While schools still remain shut, learning
never took a back-seat. Education saw a new form in
virtual reality, as classes went online. Whilst in
the previous academic year (2020-21), we were
sending video recordings, for the current academic
year we, at Trinity Central School thought that it
had been far too long of being separated from our
students, and so, in keeping with the times we
decided to take a confident plunge into virtuality,
by introducing the MS Teams App. A student friendly
app, in which through live classes students and
teachers can interact with each other creating a
class room like atmosphere, that our students have
so dearly missed. We look forward to an amazing and
successful year, with the MS Teams App.

SEMINAR ON CAREER GUIDANCE FOR GRADE 10 STUDENTS
Resource Person: Prof Ronald Pinto : Date: Monday,
19 April 2021 ‘If
there is a will, there is a way’. This
proverb is as old as Galileo, for its importance
lies in those words. Much importance is given for
the Board exams, whether 10th or 12th for it sets
the recourse to a student’s future. However, one
question that forever prevails, which too, is, as
old as Galileo is - what next after 10th /12th ?
Music soothes when tension bangs. Bringing the
students at ease with an interestingly, foot-tapping
song, renowned Career Counsellor, Prof. Ronald
Pinto, brought in the livery and students’ mind at
ease, as he commenced his session with the Grade 10
students. The session began with Prof. Pinto
explaining to the students the difference between a
job and a career. In a job, all that you work for is
to fill your daily bread basket, i.e., its only your
wages or salary that gets credited to your account.
However, when you think of career - it is not just a
job, but when you work with enthusiasm and follow
your passion, there is a sense of fulfilment. This
feeling of job satisfaction is what defines a
person’s career.

the students on behalf of all present. Following
