Excellence in Education... Love for Humanity
We believe in the immense innate potential of EVERY Trinity student and we focus on realising the potential of EVERY student no matter where their passions and areas of excellence lie. Whilst we strive for excellence, we know that excellence looks different for everyone. We develop a growth mindset in our students, supporting them holistically and helping them to achieve their own ‘personal best’ with results that reflect their own unique talents and abilities.
We’re an inclusive school, intentionally embracing girls and boys from a wide and interesting range of cultures, backgrounds, abilities, strengths and aspirations. Drawing strength and direction from nearly half a century of inspired learning, we develop young men and women of good character and integrity, who value courage, respect, humility and compassion, are in step with a fast moving world and aware of their responsibilities to their fellow citizens.
At Trinity, students and teachers work together in a purpose-built environment conducive to active teaching and learning, and students are educated holistically to become discerning, compassionate, creative, balanced and resilient citizens, well prepared for the demands of adulthood in the 21st century. This vision, and focus on individual learning, is under-pinned by the college’s core Christian values which guide teaching and learning, relationships, and all that we strive for in the college.
Located at our Cotlew Street campus, our early learning education program ‘Little Stars’ is a safe and supportive environment that caters to toddlers and young children from two years of age. The caring family atmosphere we create in our early learning centre follows Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines as well as the Early Years Learning Framework.
Prep to Year 5 students are also located at our Cotlew Street campus. We create an intimate learning environment at junior school where the focus is on building a strong foundation and equipping children with all the skills they need for senior school. Learning takes place at a steady and manageable pace, within innovative flexible classrooms, and is focused on laying the foundation for a bright future, and allowing for a gentle transition into middle and senior school.
Year 6 to 9 Middle Years students on our Ashmore Road campus are offered a supportive link between primary and senior education. Within innovative flexible classrooms, Middle Years students are immersed in a purpose-built learning community to enhance their academic, social, physical and emotional growth at a time when they need it most.
Years 10 to 12 are challenging for any student and we strive to make the learning experience as smooth as possible. At Trinity, we nurture personal excellence and encourage our students to make the most of the resources and facilities available to them.
As our students enter the last phase of their education, you can trust that Trinity will provide the solid foundation they need to tackle life’s challenges with confidence upon graduation.
Trinity is renowned for its outstanding performing arts program which is dedicated to developing and inspiring our students’ passion for the arts. The co-curricular program, which follows a 4-year rotating program from Prep to Year 12, is devoted to excellence across all artistic genres; Acting, Choral, Dance and Instrumental for all levels from beginner to advanced. The weekly co-curricular program is offered free of charge for all students enrolled at the college to come together in their shared passion and enjoyment for the performing arts. The program offers all students varied opportunities throughout the year to develop their performance skills and showcase their talents.

Our Junior Years community is a small close-knit one where our teachers know almost every student by name. It is an environment that allows children to develop at a slower pace, in keeping with their chronological age, outside the influence of older teenagers. Students in our Junior Years also take on leadership roles at an earlier age.
Our Prep to Year 5 Buddy and Peer Support Programs foster important connections, increased confidence, and greater self-control for both the younger and the older children on this campus. Our Junior Years is a safe haven for childhood offering a gentle passage into the more complex Middle and Senior Years on our Ashmore Road campus.
Our Ashmore Road Campus is home to our Middle Years (Years 6-9) and Senior Years (Years 10-12), offering state-of- the-art facilities, dedicated teachers and outstanding programs. Our goal is that all who enter our gates emerge as socially capable, creative and contributing citizens, well-positioned to fly high.
Our dedicated Middle Years provides a supportive bridge between the Primary and Senior Years. The purpose-built Middle Learning Precinct for students in Years 6 to 9 offers curricular programs specifically designed for students who are dealing with a time of particular physical, social and emotional growth.
We gently introduce our Years 6 and 7 students to the demands and responsibilities of high school through our expertly designed Years 6/7 Transition Program, helping to prepare them emotionally and academically for high school. The Middle Years’ core curriculum is supplemented by first-rate educational facilities, co-curricular programs and annual camps, ensuring a well-rounded education for every student.
Our Senior Years cater for years 10 to 12, offering a challenging educational program of curriculum and co-curricular activities. Personal excellence is one of our key values and our teachers encourage our students to work towards achieving their individual potential and personal best in their academic, sporting and artistic pursuits, making the most of Trinity’s first-class grounds and facilities.
Life in the Senior Years aims to equip students to become independent, capable young adults able to tackle the challenges of life beyond school and become valued members of a global community.
