Other Extra Curricular Programs
Students participate in a variety of non-athletic programs as well, including dramatic, musical, academic, and social justice clubs. The Holy Trinity drama department has grown year by year and a performance is put on every year. Each year the stature of these performances (either musicals or straight plays) has grown substantially. Holy Trinity also boasts a very successful Student Cabinet, elected each spring, that has donated over $100 000CDN to the greater community since its inception just over four years ago. Notably, the HT Student Cabinet led a successful Terry Fox Foundation fundraising campaign in September 2010, setting a school fundraising record of over $30 000CDN. Holy Trinity also has a student-teacher run program named Trinity Earth that raises awareness of environmental issues in the school community and beyond.

Famous quotes containing the words extra and/or programs:
“When we leave our child in nursery school for the first time, it won’t be just our child’s feelings about separation that we will have to cope with, but our own feelings as well—from our present and from our past, parents are extra vulnerable to new tremors from old earthquakes.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
