SPORTS PLAYERS OF THE MONTH

Sport at Trinity is not just about being the best. Of course, winning is important to us and our students, but we value attitude and effort above all. That is why every month the Sports Department nominates and votes for two students – one girl and one boy, from across our age range – who deserve recognition as our Sports Players of the Month.

The reasons for their nomination can vary widely and are not always about performance. We are looking for leaders who embody Trinity Sport's values: kindness, perseverance, collaboration, competitiveness, and dedication. We know that positive attitudes and behaviours have a ripple effect and are keen to encourage students who foster a collective mindset among their peers.

Recent recipients exemplify these values in diverse ways: Felix demonstrated exceptional coaching of younger students; Jarrod made an incredible comeback after significant injury; Hannah embraced new challenges and set high standards in her training ethic. Their stories inspire us all.

Students have also been recognised for responding with superb character to disappointing selection decisions, demonstrating a desire to improve no matter what sport, playing up a year and forging bonds with older teammates, and many times these behaviours are coupled with outstanding individual performances.

The Sports Players of the Month award demonstrates that winning is much more than a number on a scoresheet; it is about character forged through sport.
