About Trinity

Trinity Grammar School is an independent Anglican school for boys (Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12), centrally located in Sydney’s Inner West. Our mission is to provide students to grow in mind, body, and spirit within the context of a supportive Christian environment.

Helping parents as the primary educators of their boys

For our parents, Trinity is their chosen partner in educating their boys. There is a mutual recognition of the School’s expertise and professionalism, and of the parents’ responsibility. It’s a team effort. Our parents choose Trinity because the investment we make in the education, character, and development of their boys is akin to their own.

Supporting boys in realising their goals

We believe Trinity boys have agency in their education. It is not done for them, or to them, but with them. As they grow from early childhood to adulthood, they take on increasing responsibility for their education. That is one reason why Trinity has increasing choice available as boys get older, in subject choice and Co-curricular participation. By the end of the journey through school, Trinity students will have some idea of the goal of their education.

Achieving the final credential in school education

Whether it is the HIgher School Certificate (HSC), the International Baccalaureate Diploma or Trinity VET qualification, achieving a final credential is one very obvious reason why parents choose Trinity. The achievement of this credential opens the doors of opportunity in a Trinity boy’s next chapter, so its importance is not to be understated. However it is misplaced to think that schools are all about the final academic result.

Providing challenging, stimulating learning in a safe, supportive environment

The school experience of a boy at Trinity is not just a means of gaining a mark; the journey is the fabric of his life for years. The Trinity experience is challenging and stimulating, it broadens a boy’s horizons and it takes place in a safe and supportive environment. What he experiences at Trinity prepares him for life outside of school.

Helping grow young men of character

Informe by our Christian ethos, we partner with families to help raise young men who embody trustworthiness, decency, and respect. If a young man is trustworthy, he will be able to engage in rich and rewarding relationships. If he is decent, equipped with a moral compass that orients him to the service of others and the use of power and responsibility for good, he will make a positive difference in our world. If he is respectful, recognising the value and dignity of others, he will conduct himself in ways that make all of us proud.

Facilities

Trinity has three campuses:

- The Preparatory School (Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6), Strathfield
- The Junior School (Kindergarten to Year 6), Summer Hill
- The Middle and Senior Schools (Years 7 to 12), Summer Hill

In addition, the School has a state-of-the-art Field Studies Centre on the NSW south coast.

The buildings, current and future, provide the background, which is the way that it should be. The School is, primarily, the people.

At Trinity, there is always a lot going on in the life of the School. Thankfully, most of it is about the boys and their learning in the context of the School community.

Trinity's facilities are best experienced during an Open Day visit, or exploring what happens in each of the facilities, rather than the buildings themselves.

Trinity's facilities include:
- School of Science
- School of Music
- Drama and Production Centre
- Library Services and Facilities
- The Design Centre
- Sporting Facilities
- Preparatory Year 5 and 6 Learning Centre
- The Field Studies Centre, Woollamia
- The Renewal Project
- Delmar Gallery

Academic Programme

PYP - (Primary Years Programme)

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) guides boys to become independent inquiry learners. The PYP, for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6, focuses on the development of the whole child, in the classroom and also in the world outside.

Based on an inquiry learning model, the PYP gives your son ownership of his learning to develop his research and critical thinking skills. He will be able to pursue his own interests and make meaningful connections with what he is learning to his home, the community and the world.

HSC - (Higher School Certificate)

Trinity offers a wealth of subjects and study opportunities, arguably the widest in the State ranging from the highly academic to the creative and the vocational and delivered by experienced staff. There is considerable flexibility offered to students in unusual circumstances or personal difficulty.

IB - (International Baccalaureate)

The globally recognised International Baccalaureate diploma is another academic pathway that Trinity Grammar School offers students in Years 11 and 12. Introduced in 1998, Trinity has been a consistently high performer with an average IB score of 36 and 12 maximum IB scores of 45 since the turn of the century.

Currently over 25% of Trinity's senior students undertake the diploma because of its international outlook, the variety of subjects offered, the way it prepares students for further tertiary study and Trinity's IB continued successes.

TVAC - (Trinity Vocational Academic Course)

As an RTO (Registered Training Organisation), Trinity offers boys in Year 11 and 12 a unique vocational pathway, with VET Certificate II courses in Construction Pathways, Electrotechnology and Hospitality and Certificate III courses in Information Digital Media Technology and Entertainment.

Encompassing school-based traineeships, these are courses exclusive to Trinity, providing boys with both vocational training and an ATAR.

Sport

Sport is an essential element of the life of every Trinity boy and is compulsory from Years 3 to 12. Essential for healthy living, disciplined care of the body and the cultivation of temperate habits are an integral component of the development of a well-rounded boy. The vast range of sporting activities provides your son with the opportunity to succeed and develop through to the elite level in one or more of many different sports. It will enable him to develop skills that will translate into all facets of his adult life. The emphasis on students working in teams opens further avenues for leadership and co-operation.

With coaching staff supported by sport specialists who reflect our culture and beliefs, boys learn how to cope with adversity, to lose with dignity, and to win with grace.

Trinity Grammar School is at the forefront of sport education as one of nine schools in the world to receive accreditation as a World Academy of Sport Athlete Friendly Education Centre (AFEC).

Our Preparatory and Junior students also benefit from a proud tradition of sport. The School’s Fundamental and Active Skills at Trinity (FAST) programme aims to increase physical activity and improve Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS), programming an extra 30 minutes of physical and aerobic activity each week.

Co-curricular

Trinity Grammar School provides an extensive range of Co-curricular Activities for your son to discover and develop his skills and talents. The compulsory Co-curricular programme involves activities that are aimed at developing important skills in leadership, communication, performance, creativity, decision-making, cooperation and service.

From Dramatic Arts and Music to Debating and Self-Defence, Co-curricular Activities are a vital component of the Trinity Triangle and essential to growing ‘well-rounded’ boys, building boys’ self-confidence and further enhancing their connectedness to the School.
