Our students are at the heart of everything that we do. Entrusted to us by their parents, we are here to encourage boys to be the best they can be and find genuine fulfilment, happiness and security in their lives. It is our intention that when they complete their education here, they will be confident, caring and giving young men – or what we call – Men for Others.

Trinity has a clear vision to continue to be a leader in boys' education in the Edmund Rice tradition. Our teachers are ever striving to ensure every Trinity boy receives a high quality education. As well as that, we provide ample learning opportunities and experiences that will be relevant to future careers and life beyond the College.

When your son joins us your whole family is welcomed into the Trinity community, so as you walk through our grounds, I hope you get a sense of our strong 'TC Spirit'.

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.

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.

Growing Beyond Their Comfort Zone

In society today, it is easy to develop a sense of self-importance and to lose sight of what is happening in the world around you.

At Trinity, we encourage students to look beyond themselves and start to think "What can I do for others?" This perspective allows for the development of an attitude that will stand the boys in good stead for the rest of their days and is the key to developing each of them as Men for Others.

  • All our students participate in Christian Service projects that will challenge them to grow into young men who are committed to building a more just society.
  • They are invited to respond to people who are in need, through face-to-face encounters, which respect and honour the dignity of all.
  • We engage students in experiences that encourage them to become compassionate young men – becoming aware of the needs of others and acting to alleviate those needs – doing what is right rather than doing what is popular!
  • They are guided to challenge themselves to grow beyond their comfort zones, develop relationships with different types of people and encouraged to make sacrifices of time, energy and resources to help others.

At Trinity, we feel a sense of pride and joy knowing that our men, young and old, are taught and encouraged to look at the world differently and work with others to make it a better place.

…our men, young and old, are taught to look at the world differently…

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.
