Learning Support Centre

Trinityhouse Glenvista offers a Learning Support Centre on campus for the convenience of parents. The centre includes an Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapist. Parents are encouraged to utilize these on-site therapists to foster a positive collaboration between teachers, parents, and therapists. Sessions are scheduled during school hours and are at the parents' own expense.

In addition, we provide access to counselling services through a registered mental health and wellness organization. We recognize that we are all susceptible to the constantly changing impacts of life events, and mental health and wellness are influenced by various social and emotional factors within educational settings. The holistic approach offered by this organization aims to instil hope, motivation, achievement, and sustainability in fostering the desired behavioural changes. Sessions can be scheduled during school hours and are included as part of our school offering.

Stationary and Books

Foundation Phase (Grade 1-3)

Parents are provided with a stationary list at the end of the year for the next year and are required to purchase their child’s stationary. This includes all necessary exercise books. Required curriculum workbooks are provided by the school.

Intermediate and Senior Phase (Grade 4-7)

A list of the required stationery items will be given to parents. All stationery, including exercise books and writing equipment such as pens and pencils, must be purchased by the parents from this stationery list.

Textbooks will be provided by the school yearly for your child to use during their academic journey. These textbooks need to be returned at the end of each school year.
