Trinity Secondary School

Running a secondary school in Lenasia means managing classrooms often larger than ideal, dealing with load shedding that disrupts timetables and study time, and keeping learners engaged when home circumstances vary wildly. Teachers here work around water shortages, power cuts that kill projector lessons, and the practical reality that not all learners can afford textbooks. The school calendar itself gets pinched—June and December exams shift, matric study time compresses when Eskom fails, and extra classes happen by torchlight. Staff double as counsellors, dealing with social pressures that spill from township streets into classrooms. Infrastructure that works is infrastructure that doesn't need fixing mid-term.
