Healthy Trinity aims to make the healthy choice the easy choice in Trinity by engaging as many students and staff as possible in promoting health. We are always interested in hearing from students and staff who have energy and would like to get involved.

Selected health promoting physical activities:

All Trinity students have gym and pool access as part of their college registration. Classes and courses are offered at a reduced rate to students and there is a full range of classes, courses and lessons on offer.
