An independent Anglican school for boys in Sydney, NSW
Welcome from the Headmaster
You would expect to see academic rigour. To see a range of co-curricular activities. A thriving Preparatory and Junior school, where boys from Pre-K to Year 6 are nurtured. Outstanding IB and HSC results from our Year 12 young men after their time in our Middle and Senior school.
You can expect all that, and more. However, what you might find unexpected is my unwillingness to measure the success of our School by the success of our young men.
Why Trinity Grammar
At Trinity, we offer boys a thoroughly Christian education that guides them to a full life. We seek to raise men of character, who will care about themselves and our world. Informed by our Christian ethos, at Trinity every boy is individually known, cared for and guided to grow in mind, body and spirit. Trinity is about:
Life at Trinity
Rather, it is because they teach them how to fail. How to persevere. How to engage with others. How to grow.
Growth as a whole person is what we’re about at Trinity. Making this growth a reality is why life at Trinity includes such a wide range of curricular and co-curricular programmes and experiences, challenging and supporting them in their journey through school, and equipping them for the world beyond.

Testimonials
Mr (Andrew) Murphy (Director of Athletics) and all the staff moulded me into what I am today. Mr Murphy got me as a 14-year-old boy and turned me into an elite athlete. I don’t know of any other school in the country where that could be facilitated.
Without Trinity he would never have made it to Tokyo in the first place. Had he not gone to the School, had he not met Murph and formed such a great partnership, there is no way he would have even gone to the Olympics.
I am eternally grateful to the School. Without Trinity my boys wouldn’t be where they are. It was outstanding, and fantastic for Ollie. The whole environment was supportive and nurturing.
I really felt super supported. If it wasn’t for that I’m not sure I would have finished (my final school year). I felt they (the School) always had my back and were always there to help me.
I am eternally grateful. They helped us in so many ways, and helped Sam to go the distance.
I wouldn’t be here now without Trinity. Opportunity is the one word that sums it up – academically, sports-wise and personality-wise.
This is our spiritual home. Manners, discipline, being on time – all those things were drummed into you from the moment I walked through those school gates, and I still carry them with me. I came as a boy and left as a man.
If you are from Trinity my arms and my house will be open for you. It’s part of the camaraderie and belonging to a school that guided me through the most important years of my life.
I learned a lot of life lessons, all shaping you to be a man. I learned about discipline, keeping your uniform up to standard, showing respect to teachers, all the little things that make an impression on people.
Trinity never let you take short cuts. You have discipline and stick to a routine. In business there is an honourable way to act. Trinity teaches about mind, body and spirit, and that’s where the spirit comes in.
Good teachers know how to make you love them and do the right thing for them. They are very inspiring people.

Boys’ education in focus
Trinity Grammar School is unambiguous and confident about the fact that we are a school for boys. This is clear in our mission statement, which is: To provide boys with a thoroughly Christian education in mind, body and spirit. Humans are a sexually-dimorphic species, which is just a way of saying that, on average, there [...]
The essence – and benefit – of community
I am firmly convinced of the primacy and power of the community in which education takes place. Both academic outcomes and the broader shaping of character are affected by the school community in which students are immersed. So, too, is the mental health of the students. During the week I read an article online by [...]
Co-education and single-sex schooling
I imagine that many in the Trinity community will have noticed the announcement earlier this week by Newington College that they intend to become co-educational in the years ahead. In response to the decision, some of the public commentary, and a number of queries that I was receiving, I wrote the following opinion piece that [...]
Trinity Grammar School is located on
Wangal Country.
We honour the sovereignty and connection to Country of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and pay respect to their Traditional Custodians and Elders past and present. As educators we acknowledge that learning has been taking place on this land for millennia.
