Trinity is a non-selective Anglican boys’ school in Sydney’s inner-west.

Trinity has a wide-ranging curriculum that caters for all students – from the intellectually gifted to those more interested in vocational courses – and has arguably the most extensive curriculum of non-selective Independent Boys Schools across NSW.

Students also access a huge range of co-curricular activities, including compulsory sport. This challenges boys in a supportive environment, allowing them to grow in self-confidence, and enhancing their skills and talents across many disciplines.

If you want your son to receive a thoroughly Christian education, at a School where growth and chacracter-formation are our priorities, working in partnership with families to grow ‘good men’, then choose Trinity.

Trinity Grammar School’s IB and HSC results continue to represent its strong learning culture, regularly performing at the highest levels in Australia and on the global stage.

Trinity Education Support Services (TESS) provides integrated support to students with special needs across Preparatory, Junior, Middle and Senior School campuses.

The globally recognised IB programme provides a broad, demanding yet motivating curriculum, with an international outlook and a depth of subject and encouragement for self-learning. The IB score is the same measure worldwide.

Trinity became the first school in Australasia to be accredited as a World Academy of Sport Athlete Friendly Education Centre (AFEC). It is only one of nine schools in the world to receive this accreditation.

The World Academy of Sport (WAoS) launched a global initiative a few years ago to accredit schools and education centres to provide flexibility and support to exceptional student athletes, enabling them to combine challenging training schedules with their academic commitments. This means boys at Trinity can study the IB Diploma Programme over 4 years instead of the normal 2 years.

Trinity Grammar School, which introduced the IB programme in 1998, also delivers the widest range of HSC and IB subject choices in NSW. With dedicated classes and experienced HSC and IB teachers, the School has been a consistent high performer across both programmes.

The School’s Pastoral Care network means your son will be known, cared for and guided to grow in mind, body and spirit. He will learn in a positive, passionate and harmonious environment, one where everyone feels part of the ‘Trinity family’.

At the Preparatory and Junior Schools – Pre-K to 6

The class teacher is the crucial provider of Pastoral Care through these early years. Ongoing communication between the home and the school is through them. Class teachers gain as much knowledge as they can about each boy in their charge: his parents and his family, his cognitive abilities and attitudes, his ability at games, his hobbies and interests, his hopes and fears. They act as the boy’s adviser. These class teachers give correction and guidance to the boys when there are breaches of discipline. They build up a record of each boy that contains details concerning work, sport, social adjustment and so on. The class teacher will normally be the first contact person for parents concerning any matter relating to their son.

At the Middle and Senior Schools – Years 7 to 12

Within the Middle and Senior Schools there are 16 houses and 32 house masters who are the key link between the home and the School. Each student has his own tutor and there are five full-time school counsellors and a full-time careers adviser. The school chaplain also plays a vital pastoral role.

Trinity’s Secondary vertical House system provides strong peer relationships, and Trinity’s Life Skills Programme nurtures emotional intelligence for the entirety of a boy’s School life.

Sport at Trinity Grammar School is an essential element of the life of every Trinity student and is compulsory from Years 3 to 12 in both the summer and winter seasons. From Year 7, sporting commitment involves two mid-week training sessions and a Saturday fixture. Sport for boys in Years 7 and 8 is included within the normal School timetable. Every boy is encouraged to participate in, or attempt to participate in, at least one team sport per year.

There are canteens (cashless) available at the Preparatory, Junior, Middle and Senior Schools for those boys who do not bring their own snacks/lunch.

The School has a large bus fleet covering many routes and areas for boys from Year 3 upwards. Please see the Transport information here showing all routes and a table of charges.

Trinity has also implemented a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device Programme), initially with Year groups 5 to 7 and 10 to 12.

Students participating in the BYOD Programme are required to purchase and bring a device to School every day. Please refer to the BYOD requirements for Years 7-12 and BYOD Requirements for Years 5 and 6 for Hardware/Software specifications and to access the BYOD Purchase Portal.
