Coeducation 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 [...]
Sport in the life of our School
Sport is an essential element in our School’s educational vision. We have a particular focus on competitive team sports. There are recreational sport options open to the boys, where the focus is on participation and improvement, but all boys are required to put on the School colours as part of a team in at least [...]
Learning from the International Boys School Coalition
During the course of the mid-year break, along with a small group of Trinity staff, I attended the International Boys School Coalition (IBSC) annual conference in Auckland. The IBSC is comprised of nearly three hundred member schools across the world who are committed to advancing the education of boys in boys’ schools. You can read [...]
The HSC and the IB Diploma at Trinity
At Trinity, students can choose to complete one of two senior credentials: either the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB Diploma). This dual-credential model in Years 11 and 12 is not always understood, either within or external to our school community. I frequently find that misconceptions and myths circulate amongst students [...]
Reframing school funding discussions
The topic of taxpayer funding for non-government schools is perennial in the mainstream media
Thoughts on Trinity as a single-sex school
Last Sunday there was a story in the Sun Herald about a trend for boys’ schools to become

From the Headmaster
I have been greatly encouraged by the progress that our builders have been able to make during the last month. Improved weather has provided the opportunity for them to attack the various parts of the project with some vigour. The first slabs in our new Car Park 3 have been laid and blockwork is starting [...]
From the Headmaster
On a number of occasions, I have commented in the Bulletin that the experiences during the pandemic have given us confidence that the School community can execute significant changes at short notice when required. The pivots to remote learning, the adoption of COVID-19 protocols, and the removal of the academic rollover for Years 7 to [...]
Uniform Shop Holiday Trading | Book uniform appointments before Nov 14.
A reminder from the School Uniform shop that all new uniform fittings are strictly by appointment only. It is recommended that all new students to the school be fitted before the shop closes on 9 December 2022. Parents are required to schedule an appointment by Monday 14 November 2022, for their son’s uniform through the [...]
From the Head Master
At the heart, schools are communities. Schools gather people; staff and students in the first instance, but also families. This is one of the reasons that the online learning that we experienced during the lockdown periods was satisfactory in the context, but not as good as gathering together – face to face – for learning. [...]
From the Head Master
During the course of this week, some of our Year 12 boys experienced one of those unexpected ‘bumps’ on the highway of life that require us to demonstrate resilience and fortitude. About forty minutes into the HSC Geography examination and the IB Diploma Business Management examination, the lights went out. As it happens, power was [...]
From the Head Master
There was a time when we longed for rain. I imagine that most parents of the School can remember the Millennium drought, which is considered to have extended from 1997 to 2009, when rainfall over southern and eastern Australia was low, year after year. We experienced long-term drying of landscape and vegetation and depletion of [...]

One of the activities that always takes up a significant chunk of my time in the first week back after a break is catching up on birthday cards and gifts for the boys. Most families will be aware that each boy receives a card and a small gift from me for their birthday. The boys [...]

Today completes the ‘Valedictory season’ for 2022. The Valedictory season refers broadly to the two weeks in which we bid farewell to our graduating Year 12 students, marking the end of their school days. There are a number of elements to the season. Year 12 students go out to dinner at various venues with their [...]
From the Head Master
The resumption of the CAS Track and Field Championships on Thursday was a wonderful occasion. Perhaps more than any other aspect of the School’s sporting programme, Track and Field was sorely disrupted by the pandemic. The Championships were cancelled in 2020 and in 2021 and our athletes had severely limited training and competition opportunities. I [...]
From the Head Master
In recent weeks there have been a number of stories in the mainstream media that ‘expose’ the poor behaviour of boys in schools like Trinity. These stories provoke a range of responses in me. Often there is revulsion at the abhorrence of some of the behaviour and attitudes that are described. Often I am despondent [...]
From the Head Master
It is not uncommon, in discussions with parents, to hear them say about their son ‘I just want him to be happy.’ As a parent myself, I understand the sentiment and I certainly don’t want to suggest that being happy is a bad thing. However, I am not sure that focussing on ‘happiness’ is the [...]
From the Head Master
Last Saturday night, around four hundred and fifty members of the extended Trinity community came together at Doltone House in Walsh Bay to celebrate at the Trinity Ball. It was a wonderful night, organised by the Parents and Friends Association and our Community Engagement team. An outstanding venue, great food and drink, music by the [...]
From the Head Master
It has been an eventful week in the life of the School, particularly for those staff and students on the Summer Hill campus. Monday was the first day, in the memory of our longest-serving staff, on which students were sent home en masse unexpectedly. The issue that we encountered was an electrical short in Hansen [...]
From the Head Master
How do young people transition from adolescence to adulthood? What are the markers that indicate that they have done so? Is there an age when they should have transitioned? These are ongoing questions for me both personally and professionally, being both a father and the leader of a School that tries to prepare boys to [...]
From the Head Master
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all members of the extended Trinity Grammar School community to join us for the Trinity Ball on Saturday August 20. It will be a wonderful occasion. Not just because of the opportunity to gather and party with friends old and new. Not just because of the [...]
From the Head Master
Trinity Grammar School is explicit in identifying that the end goal of our educational efforts is the formation of character. This is not a new emphasis for our School, nor is it one that is unique to our School. Educators going back to Aristotle and Moses have understood the importance of the formative years of [...]
From the Head Master
I am delighted to welcome the community back to School for Term 3. Although many of us may have experienced disrupted plans because of the recent weather, I trust that everyone is refreshed and looking forward to the second semester. There has been a lot of commentary in the mainstream media recently about the challenges [...]

At this morning’s quad assembly, I announced the appointment of the 2023 School Officers. There are thirty-two School Officers at Trinity: a School Captain; three School vice-Captains; sixteen House Captains; and twelve Prefects. These young men have a formal responsibility of leading our School students during the course of their final year at the School. [...]
Cross Country Report | Meet 6 – Newington
Last Saturday’s weekly Cross Country invitational was the first relay event of the season, a variation in format which always brings with it additional excitement and energy. Trinity, despite many absences due to sickness, injury and other reasons, managed to field eleven student teams and one staff team. Ours is a team as well as [...]
From the Head Master
During the course of this week there has been some discussion in the media comparing the academic results of boys and girls. In particular, there were two stories in the Sydney Morning Herald that caught my eye. The first one had to do with different performances of girls and boys across the State in rankings [...]

Recently I read Into the Rip, which is subtitled “How the Australian way of risk made my family stronger, happier … and less American”. It is written by Damien Cave, an American journalist who relocated to Sydney with his family in early 2017, who reflects on their experience of changing cultures. Settling in Bronte and [...]
2022 NSW All Schools Swimming Championships – SOPAC (Friday 3rd June 2022)
The NSW All Schools Swimming Championships was first held 32 years ago, in 1990, with the idea of bringing together the very best swimmers from the three NSW School Sporting Associations to compete for either the Combined High Schools (CHS), Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC) or Combined Independent Schools (CIS) team. Trinity Grammar School had a [...]

Cross Country Report | Meet 6 – Newington
It was a busy week for many of our runners! Quite apart from the House Track and Field carnival, there are two significant inter-school events to report on: the sixth invitational carnival at Sydney Park hosted by Newington on Saturday, and the Combined Independent Schools Cross Country Championships on Wednesday. Sydney Park Invitational Despite [...]
From the Head Master
Over the last couple of weeks, and particularly the last twenty-four hours, I have been both humbled and delighted to see the extended School community’s enthusiasm for the new Scholarship Trust. In our preparations for our inaugural Giving Day, I was encouraged by the generosity of the donors who committed funds to the matching pool. [...]
News from the Field Studies Centre
The boys on Field Studies Programme 2 had the opportunity to spend a lovely day with their families on Sunday. Big smiles and warm embraces abounded on the day, as the boys welcomed their families to the Woollamia Campus and showed them around the impressive facilities. The FSP leaders shared some insights into the last [...]

TGSACU hosted the competition this year, which was held at Knox Grammar School (due to space considerations at Trinity). Our Team, having the challenge of limited time together to practice and rehearse the set drill [...]
From the Head Master
Our School’s inaugural Giving Day is approaching rapidly. I imagine that most members of the extended TGS community will have encountered information and communication about this event, which is taking place next week. The impetus for this Giving Day has come from a number of convictions. The first is our belief that a Trinity Grammar [...]
Rugby vs St. Gregory’s
Trial against St. Gregory’s Our previous two season have been heavily impacted by sickness and this year we have been hampered by excessive rainfall. So, it seems somewhat appropriate that they combined forces on the weekend to continue causing disruption to the season. The high levels of student illness, along with the closure of grounds [...]
Careers: Futures Fair 22
Futures Fair 22 As we have been unable to host a Careers Expo in the last two years, we have created a series of careers-related events for students in Years 10 to 12 under the banner of a ‘Futures Fair’. We commenced Futures Fair 22 events at the beginning of May and have invited 28 [...]
News from the Field Studies Centre
A significant aspect of the Field Studies Programme is the focus on reflection. Students spend time around the campfire most weeks debriefing their experience and reflecting on the journey they are undertaking. Each student is also issued with a journal which they use to record their experiences. Some of the students' reflections from last weekend’s [...]

Please join us for a time of encouragement, community-building, thanksgiving and to sincerely bring the needs of the School community before our gracious God. When: Tuesdays [...]
From the Head Master
I suspect that I am not alone in finding the current election campaign uninspiring. For various reasons, our national political landscape does not favour big and bold ideas. While most of us would not want to find ourselves in the hyper-partisan USA, where the political parties and their supporters seem to inhabit different worlds from [...]
Rugby vs St. Pius X College
Trial against St. Pius X The continued rainfall saw several of our fixtures cancelled due to ground closures. However, thanks to the continued stellar effort of the Trinity ground staff, and the considerable administration skills of our Sports Master, we managed to have ten of our teams get down and dirty in the mud over [...]

YEAR 7 FED B report – Newington College v Trinity This debate was nerve wracking. The type of debate that made you stick to your seat. It was the semi-finals; we needed to win this debate to face MLC in the Grand Final. We didn't have a good record either, the one time we had [...]

News from the Field Studies Centre
A discipline can be defined as something that is both good for us and for others. Waking at 6:30am in readiness for the morning fitness sessions takes discipline; getting up and moving helps to motivate the other boys in the dorm to do the same. The members of the School water polo team who are [...]

Tennis Round 3 vs Knox
As is often the case, last weekend's fixture against Knox proved to be a difficult encounter due to their depth of ability and competitiveness. Despite this, all Trinity teams played to the best of their ability and did not yield voluntarily. The 1st IV was competitive and could have won this fixture, but their Achilles [...]
Cross Country Report | Meet 3 – Kings
Beneath the crystal-blue skies that heralded a great weekend for sport, King's was hiding a dirty secret. Really dirty: enough squelchy mud to keep a pig happy for a lifetime.

Chaplaincy | Fuel Camp for Years 7 – 12
Trinity / Meriden ‘FUEL Camp’ 2022 The June long weekend (June 10-12) is fast approaching.

But every year at Trinity it also sees the annual Trinity/Meriden FUEL Camp take place. [...]
From the Head Master
One aspect of growing to adulthood is the development of the capacity for self-regulation. If we are to be more than puppets on a string, we need to learn how to control our responses to the circumstances, experiences and interactions that we encounter from day to day. Volatility is not a character strength and the [...]
Academic Focus
Student-centred learning and the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) Trinity’s student-centred approach to learning prioritises the individual growth a student makes rather than comparative judgements amongst a cohort. One of the most significant expressions of this philosophy is Trinity’s commitment to providing all students, including those with diverse learning [...]
From the Deputy Head Master – Summer Hill
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is foolish. Proverbs 12:1 The focus of this term’s Life Skills programme is growth, and your sons have heard about the importance and value of having a growth mindset, and that determination, stamina, and perseverance are high-value personal attributes. At Trinity, we hold tightly the [...]
Rugby vs Oakhill College
Trial against Oakhill College This weekend saw the men in green and white head out to Castle Hill to take on Oakhill College. It was certainly a tough day, as we saw victory in only four of the 15 fixtures. However it must be noted there was an immense improvement across the board from the [...]
News from The Arthur Holt Library

Cross Country Report | Meet 2 – Sydney High
The contrast to last week’s weather and geography could not be greater: green not brown, sand not mud, sun not rain, flat not hilly! Even our coaches could not but enjoy such beautiful running weather, turning up for the local Centennial Park Parkrun at 7am. (Of note in this “pre-show” event was Patrick Cantlon, last [...]

From the Head Master
As the Federal election campaign period trundles towards its conclusion, I must admit to a slight sense of relief that school education has not been a prominent issue. While I am (unsurprisingly) convinced that education must be a high priority for our nation’s leaders and our society as a whole, experience suggests that campaigns are […]
From the Deputy Head Master – Summer Hill
It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock’n’roll. This morning at Quad Assembly we enjoyed a wonderful promotional performance of the upcoming production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, School of Rock. A Guardian review of the musical makes the unsurprising (for those of us who have seen the 2003 film) observation that [...]

Chaplaincy | The power of a ‘democracy sausage’
The power of a ‘democracy sausage’ I want to introduce to you one of my favourite foods. It’s called the ‘democracy sausage’.

Cross County Report | Meet 1 vs Waverley and St Aloysius’ – 30 April 2022
The first event of the Cross Country season brought with it much anticipation and excitement, and rightly so!

North Ryde Common looked more like North Ryde Wetlands, which had many parents and coaches commenting – in the [...]

The first week of Term 2 at Trinity has been the clearest demonstration yet that we are well-advanced through the (long) tail of the pandemic.

From the Deputy Head Master – Summer Hill
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, not the years condemn.
