We Know Boys 

Why Trinity? 

...boys thrive in an all-boys environment...

Developing the Whole Boy
...Making the Man

The wellbeing of your son is a responsibility we take seriously. Pastoral care is ingrained in every part of Trinity life as we develop the whole boy, so that he builds resilience and reaches his full potential. It means guiding him so that he builds good relationships, faces challenges and becomes an integral part of his community.

This happens with Trinity's unique continuity of care framework which ensures that each student and his family has dedicated staff members to speak to who are familiar with their journey at the College.

Trinity's wellbeing and pastoral care program continues to evolve to suit our changing world. Our Director of Student Services oversees the entire spectrum of the program, and in particular, the wellbeing and mental health of our young men.

New initiatives are continually being incorporated so that Trinity's young men are being guided to develop skills to be happy, resilient, independent and confident Men for Others who will make a difference in the community.

The cultivation of compassionate care was the fundamental hallmark that distinguished the educational culture created by Edmund Rice and the first generation of Christian Brothers – and it is a hallmark that continues to distinguish Trinity College today.

Our Four Pillars ...nurturing a Boy's Spirit, Mind, Creativity and Body

At Trinity College, educating your son is much more than academics – it is about nurturing the spirit, the mind, the creativity in him and developing a healthy body. Our goal is to see each boy be the best he can be, lead a fulfilling life and be active and responsible citizens of the future.

Experiencing culture through total immersion

Realising his Full Potential

Whether your son requires academic support or if his mind requires extending, he will be identified and catered for at Trinity.

Trinity's Inclusive Education provides equity and consideration for those students who may require additional support, for those who require extension and for those who may have medical conditions that are a barrier to their learning.

Each student who is supported by our Inclusive Education Department has a wide-ranging team around them. This team creates a management plan for each boy, identifying his needs and developing solutions to help him achieve his very best and maximise his potential.

Educational Learning Support

  • The work of the Inclusive Education team begins long before he attends the College. Ensuring resources, staff and support classes are properly allocated, are paramount to a successful transition for students who need extra support.
  • Once a student who needs learning support has successfully transitioned into his Trinity education, an individual development plan will be put into place tailored to his needs.
  • So that your son can realise his potential, we will strive to give him opportunities to shine.

Gifted & Talented

  • While a range of subject-specific extension opportunities are offered by the College's different learning faculties, the role of the Gifted & Talented Program is to provide cross-curricular academic extension that reaches beyond the traditional core subject areas.
  • If your son needs to be inspired and challenged academically, he will be provided with extension and enrichment to suit his ability, maturity and individual strengths.
  • We aim to encourage him so that he wants to take the reins and engage in his passions and challenges beyond the traditional school curriculum.
  • Boys are nurtured so that they develop a true love of learning through an immersion in a broad range of multi-disciplinary academic experiences.

Becoming Involved

When your son joins us, your whole family is welcomed into the Trinity community and there are so many ways for a family to become a part of the Trinity College community.

Parental involvement is encouraged at Trinity and one of the ways that parents enjoy being involved in their son's education is by joining one of our 'Friends of' groups. From our Friends of Music to our Friends of Rowing, there are many groups that offer plenty of opportunity for involvement and fun.

Another option is the College Auxiliary, which is a long-standing institution at Trinity College, proudly continuing the tradition of providing practical support at the many events held at the College each year. However, more than that, the Auxiliary provides a wonderful opportunity to become involved in College life, to develop friendships with other parents and attend special events.

The Parent Council is Trinity's representative advisory body through which parents can help the College fulfil its educational responsibilities and assist with the development of a community of parents, teachers and students. The sense of camaraderie and the benefits of making good friends and having fun, makes involvement in this parent group a wonderful experience.

The bond that is a lifetime connection
