Trinity is an independent, co-educational school located in the Tuggeranong Valley in Canberra, ACT. Our campus includes indoor and outdoor learning spaces, sporting facilities, a library and resource centre, a commercial kitchen and a purpose-built Trade Skills Centre.
For over 40 years we have been equipping students to live meaningful lives in and outside the classroom. We are a learning centred school, focusing on the learner and the learning. We provide opportunities for all students to grow academically and mature in faith and service. The core aspirations we have for our students are to grow loving hearts, enquiring minds and generous spirits.
We believe that education builds capacity. It is our team of highly qualified Christian teachers, in cooperation with our parents, who bring this to life in each of our students. Our aim is for students to know what they believe and why - that their character is formed on the basis of our Christian beliefs and values.
Our objective is that in their life after school, our graduates reflect the hope and purposeful service characteristic of those who follow Jesus. As we equip our students for their future, we help them discover the type of purpose that ignites their desire to make a positive difference in our world.
