Junior School class trips to the Trinity Farm

We go to the farm to learn more about agriculture and where food comes from. Also, in these modern times sometimes the boys forget about how important agriculture is as a business sector.

Having now been on all of the farm trips it was great to see each class get their hands dirty and muck in with the fun practicals prepared for them.  Each trip started with the journey to the farm in which the boys began to get excited – you could tell by the noise on some of the trips!  As we stepped off the bus the boys were asked to look around to see if they could notice the name of the farm, which to my surprise was not originally Trinity Farm.  Its original name is ‘William Sinnathamby Farm’.

As we walked through the gates we would be greeted every time by the farm manager who, before taking us to the activities, would tell the boys a little about the farm and what they can expect from their morning as farmers.

We then walked along the path up to the first practical: composting. At first the boys looked side to side and some were horrified they might have to touch dirt and soil!  This was the point where some classes pulled their gloves from their pockets so they didn’t have to touch the dirt. However, by the end they loved it, which was lovely to see.

Each class successfully placed a layer of cow dung, then leaves, then poultry litter and finally more leaves and jumped on each layer to compress as they went. By the end of all of the trips there were two full beds of compost. In the background were cows and a very small calf, which distracted some boys, however I promised we would come back to them later.

Then different types of soil (clay, normal and sand) were laid out. These were then mixed together by the boys to plant small seeds in the nursery before planting in the fields.

The next activity we moved on to was planting a coconut tree. On the first trip there were seven deep holes ready for the planting and it was fantastic to see them getting filled trip by trip. The next step was to wait eight years for them to flower! Sadly I won’t be able to see this happen.
The planting consisted of layering coconut husks and then arranging them facing upwards, then soil, and then in went the plant. The final touch was to neatly arrange more husks around the plant after it was fully filled in.

After a queueing to wash our hands,  we went to the farm manager’s bungalow for a piece of butter cake and a Milo drink.  After enjoying the break it was time to see the animals. We saw chicks and chickens, then turkeys and geese. It was very entertaining watching the boys yell, “gobble gobble” waiting for the reply from the turkeys.

Then we returned to the cows and the calf and some rabbits. Lastly, it was on to the pigs. Everyone held their breath as we walked along looking at all the pigs. Some were huge and the piglets were very cute.  After the piggery, it was the end of the trips and we walked back to the gates saying a huge thank you to the farm manager for showing us the farm and letting the boys be farmers for a day.

"எமது திரித்துவக் கல்லூரியின் உதவி பணிப்பாளர்கள் உழைப்பின்றி ஒரு அணுவும் அசையாது. உருவாகும் ஒவ்வொரு பொருளும், எல்லா தொழிலும், உயர்ந்த கட்டிடங்களும் எல்லாம் பணியாளர்களால் உருவானதே எனக்கூறின் மிகையாகாது."

"One must stop to look back and admire the hard working classes of society; the individuals who uphold the sustenance of our everyday lives. It is with the virtues of gratefulness, humbleness and admiration, that we write this to appreciate selfless service."

හේමා ආච්චි කියන්නේ හේමා ආච්චි කියන්නේ අපි ප්‍රාථමික අංශයේ ඉන්න කාලයේ බොහෝ සෙයින් ආදරය කළ චරිතයක්.
අපි, ශිෂ්‍ය කාර්ය බලකාය, (T150 Student Task Force) අපූරු මතක මංතීරුවක ඇවිදීමට ඇය සමඟ කතාබහකට වාඩි වුනෙමු.
මෙම පිළිසදරෙන් පිළිබිඹුවන පණිවිඩයක් වන, නිහතමානීව එකිනෙකාට සලකමින් සමාජයේ මනුෂ්‍යත්වයට දායක වීම සෑම ත්‍රිත්වයෙකුගේම වගකීමක් බව සනාත වන අතර එය ඔබ, අප සැම අඛණ්ඩව ඉටු කල යුතු සේවයකි.

Meet Hema Achchi! A loving personality we all adored immensely during our time at the Junior School. 
We, the T150 Student Task Force, sat down with her for a chat to take a stroll down memory lane.
The message of this conversation is that it is the duty of every Trinitian to contribute to the humanity of society by treating each other with humility and that is a service that you and all of us must continue to do.

ජයතිලක අන්කල් කියන ජයතිලක අන්කල් කියන්නේ බොහොමයක් නේවාසිකාගාර සිසුන්ගේ අධ්‍යාපනයටත් එහා ජීවිත වෙනස් කල චරිතයකි.
අපි, ශිෂ්‍ය කාර්ය බලකාය, (T150 Student Task Force) ඔහුගේ අත්දැකීම් වලට සවන් දීමට තරම් වාසනාවන්ත වුයෙමු.
මෙම පිළිසදරෙන් පිළිබිඹුවන පණිවිඩයක් වන, සමාජයට බරක් නොවී, හමුවන සෑම කෙනෙකුටම කරුණාව දක්වමින්, අත්දැකීම් තුළින් ජීවිතය ගොඩගන්නා මිනිසුන් බවට පත්වීම, අප පාසලට කරන උත්ම් ගෞරවයක් බව වටහාගත යුතුය.

Meet Jayathilake Uncle, someone who changed the lives of many at the Trinity Boarding beyond education. 
We, the T150 Student Task Force, were fortunate enough to be able to have a listen to his experiences at college.
The message of this conversation is that we would be honouring our alma mater, if we become men who without being a burden to society, build a life through experience showing kindness to everyone we meet.
