oday, April 20, marks the official start of what is commonly referred to in the academic calendar as the Third Term or Trinity Term.
Teachers and students will resort back to The Online Learning Initiative which began towards the end of term two when the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible for teachers to continue meeting students face to face.
