Regular School Day of a Trinitian  

The formal academic activity of a Trinitian begins at 7:25 a.m. with the first bell beckoning the students and staff either to the Assembly in the College Main Hall or to the Religious Service according to one’s faith. However, a regular day for most of the Trinitians dawns before the sun. The Asgiriya Grounds and the College Swimming Pool become busy as early as 5:30 a.m. regularly as students begin their warmup before starting their sports practices.  

Assembly  

The Upper School staff and students meet regularly on Mondays and Fridays at the Hallowed College Hall for the morning assembly, while the Middle School staff and students gather on Wednesdays for the Middle School Assembly.  

Religious Service  

Trinity, though a Christian School built on the Anglican traditions, exemplifies an inclusive outlook towards religious faith of students. At Trinity, all the major religions in Sri Lanka are given importance and students belonging to the different religions have their religious societies such as the Buddhist Students’ Movement, the Students Christian Movement, the Hindu Students’ Movement, and the Islamic Students’ Movement to organize religious observances and special days. Accordingly on Tuesdays and Thursdays Trinitians gather in their different allocated places for religious observance and worship at 7:30 a.m.   

Academic Schedule 

The classroom teaching learning activity is governed by a regular timetable which comprises eight periods intermediated by two intervals, the short morning break, and the lunch break at noon. With the last bell call at 2:20 p.m. students and staff complete the day’s formal academic activities only to begin their co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
