Senior School

We hold the belief that education should nurture personal development, equipping our students to graduate from the College as mature, responsible, critical, discerning, and compassionate individuals, poised to become a positive and influential presence in the adult world. Our focus is on developing a love of learning which will last a lifetime.

We believe in a well-rounded education that challenges students spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. Our approach is guided by key principles that underpin effective learning:

• Every child can learn.

• Every child needs to cultivate a positive mindset and self-concept.

• Every child requires strategies to support their learning and foster independence.

• A resilient mindset and effective learning skills should become ingrained habits.

• Learning is an active process, with children actively engaged rather than passively receiving information.

• Personalisation of learning, taking into account individual interests, learning styles, aptitude, and ability, is essential.

To support students' learning and search for meaning, Trinity aims to:

• Begin lessons with clear purposes or intentions for learning.

• Engage students by fostering respectful and positive relationships with teachers, establishing trust.

• Create stimulating learning experiences that connect to students' lives, expanding their perspectives.

• Establish connections between new learning, prior knowledge, and future learning.

• Develop critical and creative thinking skills.

• Cultivate core literacy and numeracy skills, as well as essential ICT skills, with a focus on vocabulary development.

• Encourage reflection on what has been learned.

• Use humour to inspire joy and enthusiasm for learning.

• Provide scaffolding and visual aids to help students organise and make meaning of their learning experiences.

• Offer opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and practical application of knowledge.

• Provide feedback, both spoken and written, from teachers and peers, to motivate ongoing learning.

Our approach to learning is supported by our Learning Management System: SEQTA, which facilitates effective communication, collaboration, and organisation.
