They are part of our Junior School Summer Reading program that is available in June. Walking Home by Eric Walters Thirteen-year-old Muchoki and his younger sister, Jata, can barely recognize what’s become of their lives. Only weeks ago, they lived in a bustling Kenyan village, going to school, playing soccer with friends and helping at their parents’ store. But sudden political violence has killed their father and destroyed their home. Muchoki and Jata set off on what seems like an impossible journey: to walk hundreds of kilometres to find their last remaining family. Bloom (The Overthrow bk. #1) by Kenneth Oppel It was just rain. But after the downpour, odd black plants begin to shoot up. Suddenly. They. Are. Everywhere. They take over fields and twine around houses. They bloom and throw off toxic pollen—and feed. Strangely, three Salt Spring Island teens seem immune. Anaya, Petra and Seth. What’s their connection? What’s their secret? A week ago, they wouldn’t have thought they had one. But they’d better figure it out fast—the invasion has already begun. Piecing Me Together by Renée Watson A timely and powerful story about a teen girl from a poor neighborhood striving for success. Friendships, race, privilege, identity — this compelling and thoughtful story explores the issues young women face. No Fixed Address by Susin Neilsen Twelve-and-three-quarter-year-old Felix Knutsson has a knack for trivia. His favorite game show is Who What Where When; he even named his gerbil after the host. Felix's mom, Astrid, is loving but can't seem to hold on to a job. So, when they get evicted from their latest shabby apartment, they have to move into a van. A middle-grade story about family, friendship, and growing up when you're one step away from homelessness. Projekt 1065 by Alan Gratz Infiltrate. Befriend. Sabotage. World War II is raging.

Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe — a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own. 6

Translated from the German novel. Nick is given an addictive computer game called “Erebos'' that asks its

could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very
Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules.

Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of
sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known
for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade. A graphic novel about
starting over at a new school where diversity is low and the struggle to fit in is real.
Eragon by Christopher Paolini

revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon and sage advice from an old storyteller,
Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory and power. First book of a series of four
books.
Sara and the Search for Normal by Wesley King
Sara wants one thing: to be normal. What she has instead are multiple diagnoses from Dr. Ring. Sara’s

herself. She rarely speaks, especially not at school, and so she doesn’t have any friends. But when she
starts group therapy, she meets someone new.

Health Information
Included in the health information portion of this booklet, there are several forms which must be reviewed,
completed and returned to the School. It is imperative that all students have all of the required forms on file in
the school health centre in order for appropriate medical care to be provided and, in some cases, avoid
suspension of the student, at the direction of the local public health unit.
When returning the medical forms, please ensure that the following are included:
1. A fully completed Student Health Certificate signed by the examining physician and the parent,
including the immunization consent completed and signed (page 33).
2. A completed New Student Immunization Form (page 37).
3. A completed and signed Governing Law and Jurisdiction Agreement form (page 39).
4. A signed consent allowing your child’s photo to be displayed on a Medic-Alert Information
poster (page 41).
Important Information Regarding Immunization
Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, Trinity College School, in cooperation with the local public
health unit, must ensure that all students attending our school have adequate immunization according to
Ontario standards. We require complete and up to date immunization information to prove that students
have had all the required immunization and to allow the registered nurse at Trinity College School to update
your child’s immunization as may be deemed necessary for the duration of your child’s stay at the School. If
your child is not immunized, the School must receive a notarized statement of conscience/religious belief or
medical exemption form before the start of the school year. These documents are passed on to the public
health unit to be verified.
Students with non-English immunization records must have their immunization records medically
translated to English prior to submitting them to the School. Families should ask their family physician
about medical translation services.
Failure to provide this documentation, which is required by provincial law, may lead to a suspension
of the student, under the authority and direction of the public health unit. Please see the following
page for more information on immunizations required.
Thank you in advance for providing complete medical information for your child. This will guarantee our
ability to ensure they get the medical attention they need to while at TCS.
Sincerely,
Jennifer L. Kedwell, Reg.N.
Director of Health Services

92021-2022 Immunization Schedule and Requirements Formal documentation of all vaccinations in this schedule must be provided to the school health centre prior to a student beginning school in September 2021. Please note that it is the responsibility of the family to ensure that all non-English immunization records are medically translated to English and written on the New Student Immunization Form (page 37) provided. Through the public health unit, students are subject to suspension if documentation for immunity against the required illnesses is not supplied. Similarly, children not immunized must provide a statement of conscience/religious belief or medical exemption forms. The following immunization schedule (new as of July 2014) and chart details the vaccination requirements from the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA), that students need to attend school in the province of Ontario.

2021-2022 Junior School Music Program Welcome to music at TCS! We are so excited for the year to come as we continue to offer a dynamic music program that seeks to inspire a lifelong love of music in every student. Performance and creation are at the heart of our program. Traditional instruments and digital technology are used throughout our curriculum to deliver rich learning experiences. Our Grade 5 music program focuses on exploring, experiencing and creating music through the Orff Schulwerk process. Orff-Schulwerk is a holistic approach to music education where students learn through singing, moving and playing Orff instruments. Collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity are the pillars of this teaching process. TCS offers a full complement of beautiful Studio 49 Orff instruments. These specially designed barred percussion instruments consist of xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels and contrabass bars. Orff education in Grade 5 provides an outstanding foundation for students to continue their musical development in our band program from the end of Grade 5 to Grade 8. TCS offers a full complement of standard band instruments for student use. In times where instruments cannot be shared, private rentals are available through the School from Gazebo Music. Find out more about Gazebo’s rental program at https://www.gazebo-music.com/pages/rental- agreement. If you are interested in purchasing an instrument, I would be pleased to offer you valuable advice on brands that last a lifetime and sound terrific. Instrument reeds are available through the school for a low educational cost ($20 to $35 for a box of 10). Each year, students will be required to purchase a subscription to MusicFirst, a suite of music software that provides our students with an engaging digital experience ($30). Theory, digital audio workstations (recording/composing), digital music libraries, sight reading factory, notation programs, and intuitive practice software are included. Thank you for your support of our program. I look forward to meeting you and welcome your questions or comments at any time. Sincerely, Emma Crawford Music Teacher, Junior School ecrawford@tcs.on.ca 14
2021-2022 Private Music Instruction Policies The arts department of Trinity College School is able to offer private instruction on many instruments on a first-come, first-serve basis. As we have a limited number of teachers available, it is necessary to register as soon as possible. In order to bill a student’s account for lesson fees we must have written or emailed permission from a parent/guardian. Please read the policies below. By signing the lesson application form you are agreeing to follow these policies. If students are unable to meet their obligations they may be withdrawn from the lessons. Communication between student and teacher is extremely important if there is to be any interruption to their regularly scheduled lesson time. This is critical, especially with the students’ busy schedules. Lesson Fees The cost of lessons is $35 per ½ hour, $55.00 per 45 minutes or $65 per hour. There may be exceptional cases where the fees are higher to reflect special circumstances. Lesson fees will be billed to the student’s account on a monthly basis. Most teachers are more than willing to provide extra lesson time when necessary and these lessons will also be charged to the student’s account. Missed Lessons It is up to the student to contact the teacher directly if a lesson will be missed, or a lesson time must be changed. Teachers will not be required to make up any missed lessons if less than 24 hours’ notice is given. Missed lessons with less than 24 hours’ notice will still be billed. Missed lessons with appropriate notice will be made up at a mutually agreed upon time by both teacher and student. Attendance records for the lessons will be kept for the benefit of students, teachers and advisors. There will be times when teachers, due to professional obligations, will also have to change lesson times. These also will be made up at mutually agreed upon times. Lesson Preparation It is imperative that students arrive for lessons with all the necessary materials to maximize the effectiveness of their time in the lesson. This would include their instrument, all accessories and all music and books. The other part of lesson preparation is effective practicing between lessons. Practicing is essential if concepts in lessons are to be mastered. Music Books Materials required by a student are at the discretion of the private teacher, and arrangements will be made between teacher and student for obtaining these materials. If the teacher supplies the materials, the cost will be billed to the student’s account. Contact Information If you have any questions regarding policies or procedures for enrolling in private music instruction please contact: Jeff Biggar Music Teacher, Senior School 905-885-3217 ext. 1321 jbiggar@tcs.on.ca 12

Junior School Library
The Junior School library brings together all members of our community. Over the years, this beautiful
space has evolved to meet the changing needs of our students, staff and even parents. It is indeed a place
where students are at the forefront of its design and function.
With the generous support of Junior School families, the library has undergone a major renovation. It
reflects the need for flexible workspaces, comfortable nooks for reading, relaxing and hanging out, a
dedicated teaching space, as well as a current and relevant collection of resources, both print and digital.
The collection of resources is thoughtfully developed to support the classroom curriculum, and to
encourage a love of reading for pleasure in all our students. The teacher librarian works closely with
students and teachers to maintain a collection that is current, relevant and diverse. In this way, the
collection includes books that can be a window, door and/or mirror for our young readers, reflecting their
own experiences, as well as opening them up to the lives of others.
Students are independent users of the library, with book searching and self-checkout available at the
circulation desk. They also have access, while on or off campus, to our online library system which offers
links to databases, websites and image searching sites to help with research; our digital library of e-books
and audiobooks; and information about new and popular books.
Each class has a library period built into their schedule when they spend time with the teacher librarian,
developing important information literacy skills, learning to use the physical and online library, as well as
sharing their reading with each other.
The library is designed to meet a variety of student and teacher needs. It should be a place where members
of our community feel welcome, supported and connected. While reading and research are certainly an
important focus, the Junior School library is much more than the books on the shelves. In the words of
some of our students, the library is a place to smile, be calm and comfortable, relieve stress, and to feel at
home.

You may provide an alternate shipping address if required; however, orders for Canadian students cannot be sent to TCS.

Top Marks Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is there a deadline date for ordering?
Many of the items that make up your uniform are manufactured exclusively for your school.
Receiving your order before or by the deadline date allows us to prepare our inventory with the
required sizes and quantities. Keep in mind that we need enough time to cut, sew and embroider all
garments in order to ship what you need before the start of school. Therefore, orders received after
the deadline date cannot be guaranteed delivery before the start of school.
2. Can I modify my order?
Yes you can, so long as your order has not yet been shipped. Simply contact our customer service
department to request a modification.
3. What if I am not sure about sizing?
Remember that when ordering uniforms in the spring, these items are intended to fit not just until
September but also to the following June. To assist you, you may have your child’s measurements
taken at the TCS school store, or during a Top Marks fitting session (should one be held this year).
As well, a measurement chart is provided at the back of this booklet. Simply provide your child’s
measurements and we will do our best to determine the sizing appropriate for your child. If you
have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our customer service department.
4. How and where do you ship my order?
All orders with a Canadian address are shipped via Canada Post to your home. If you prefer to have
your order shipped to your office, or an alternate address, please indicate so on your order form
under the “ship to” section. International orders are shipped directly to the School, unless a
Canadian address is provided.
5. What happens if my child grows (or loses weight) over the summer?
We recommend that when you receive your package, and before washing any of the items, that
your child try everything on. If an exchange is required, there is an exchange form included in the
package with very simple instructions on how to process.
6. Can I order more clothes later on in the school year?
Yes, you can order anytime during the year. As well, shirts, socks and sweaters can be purchased
directly through the TCS school store.
7. How do I best care for my uniform items?
Enclosed in your package of uniforms will be a detailed sheet showing the recommended washing
instructions for each item of your uniform. Please read these instructions carefully. Proper care of
your uniform extends the life of the garments considerably!
8. What is your return/exchange policy?
You have 60 days from the date your child starts school. You can return any garment for exchange
or for a full refund as long as the garment has never been worn, washed or altered.

Donations of gently used and laundered current uniform items are gratefully received. Please drop off

resale.
Please contact guild@tcs.on.ca if you require assistance with used uniform purchases or donations.
Alternatively, you can leave a message on the Bear Boutique voicemail at 905-885-3217 ext. 1298, which

The Honour Code
Purpose of an Honour Code
The Honour Code outlines ideals which Trinity College School (TCS) students value above all others and
guides the School’s fundamental expectations of student behaviour. Every student attending TCS, and the
student’s parent(s), must sign the Honour Code.
The Honour Code
TCS believes that students should understand and live by standards of honourable behaviour.
Personal integrity is the foundation upon which students can thrive and develop. It is the cornerstone of
one’s character. Personal integrity is demonstrated daily in doing one’s best, not for external rewards but,
rather, simply in a desire to do what is right. In addition to being true to one’s self, personal integrity
implies a soundness of character. At TCS honesty is expected, not rewarded. Academic deception,
inappropriate use of technology and networks, lying, cheating, or any act that contravenes our major rules
is unpalatable, even if there is no chance of being caught. At TCS, a student’s personal integrity is
paramount.
Being part of a community brings with it certain responsibilities. Within the TCS community we
collectively contribute to the maintenance of a “culture of respect and care” which governs all
interactions and relationships. Every person at Trinity College School has a right to live, learn and work
in a safe and healthy environment. Our community includes individuals from many different cultures and
backgrounds which results in an interesting and enriching learning environment for all. In such a diverse
community, inclusiveness must be prioritized and individuals must recognize that success and happiness
are achieved through an open mind, a respectful and generous view of one’s neighbour, and a clear
respect for others.All TCS students, therefore, commit to a school community that is free of racism and
discrimination, promotes respect, diversity, cooperation, integrity and constructive communication. Only
through extending ongoing and unconditional respect to the people with whom we share this campus can
a community like TCS thrive.
As a student of TCS, I have read over and thought about the implications of this Honour Code and will
endeavour to uphold it in my daily life at TCS.
The Honour Code is read and signed by each TCS student, witnessed by the parent(s) and returned to the
School.

Media Consent Form
Trinity College School staff and persons contracted by TCS frequently take pictures and video footage of students
and their families, as well as staff and faculty. These images are then used in many different print and digital
communications vehicles including, but not limited to: advertisements, publications, presentations, promotional
literature and websites (which includes social media sites such as, but not limited to: Twitter, YouTube, Facebook
and Instagram). Photographs may also appear in journalistic media including, but not limited to, print or online
newspapers or magazines seen locally or internationally.
Several of Trinity College School’s facilities are equipped with unmanned cameras intended to capture and “live
stream” athletic and special school events over the internet. Individuals are advised (by way of this release and signs
posted at the entrance of these facilities) that their likeness may be recorded and broadcasted (in live and pre-
recorded formats) to a remote audience. Ultimately, the School recognizes that it cannot prevent the recording of
sporting events or special activities, which our students are participating in, by spectators and/or other schools or
organizations.
Using images of our students and their families is the best way to celebrate and market our school. Our use of
photographs, video and online tools also offers Trinity College School families increased opportunities to witness
and engage in the life of the School, while providing a record of their child’s time at TCS.
This form serves as a release for the School to use all of the images it obtains without time constraints, and covers
the duration of your family’s association with Trinity College School. Please read carefully and sign below.
Please understand that if this form is not signed and returned to the School, your child’s image cannot appear
in TCS publications such as A View From The Hill, the Parents’ Newsletter or on the TCS website.
I hereby waive any right to inspect or approve the finished photograph, advertising copy, printed matter, edited or
unedited, video footage that may be used in conjunction therewith or to the eventual use that it might be applied.
I hereby release and discharge Trinity College School and any persons working on behalf of it from and against any
liability as a result of any distortion, blurring, or alteration, optical illusion, or use in composite form, either
intentionally or otherwise, that may occur or be produced in the taking, processing, streaming or reproduction of the
finished product, its publication or distribution of the same.
I hereby certify that I am the parent and/or guardian of , a person under the age of
(student name – please print)
18 years. I have read the above release and I fully understand the contents. I hereby consent that any photographs or
videos which have been, or will be taken by any Trinity College School sanctioned photographer or videographer
may be used, without remuneration, for the purposes explained above.
