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.

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.

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.

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 Old Boys
…Keeping the Spirit Alive

Trinity boys have the advantage of being inspired by generations of Old Boys who are effective and good community leaders – Men for Others. In time, your son, too, will be welcomed into that group of Old Boys – the Trinity-Terrace Old Boys' Association, otherwise known as TOBA.

Old Boys are actively involved in the day-to-day life of Trinity College and they proudly serve as the integral conduit between past students of CBC Perth and Trinity College today. TOBA men are also part of significant school events and it is wonderful to see Old Boys and students sharing a story, knowing that they have a special connection.

In addition to maintaining the connection between past students, TOBA provides support and sponsorship to Old Boys and their families in the form of student bursaries. These bursaries support the sons or grandsons of Old Boys who, due to financial constraints, would not otherwise be in a position to afford a Trinity College education.

TOBA men continue to represent an institution of generosity, inclusiveness, excellence and community for all and support Trinity College in achieving its goal in providing a holistic, quality Catholic education and empowering its students to be Men for Others. The Old Boys' Association was established at CBC in 1902 and continued on after CBC relocated to East Perth and was renamed Trinity College in 1962.

...happy, resilient, independent and confident Men for Others...
