Junior
The Junior School at Trinity provides a strong foundation to meet the individual needs of boys as they begin their school experience. From the first day at school they are immersed in the School’s ethos of Mind, Body, and Spirit which will travel with them as they make their way through the Junior, Middle and Senior School. The Junior School Kindergarten to Year 6 is located in a purpose-built facility on the Summer Hill Campus.
The development of the Mind is paramount in the life of the Junior School. A differentiated curriculum allows the boys to develop their potential and have opportunities to succeed at their own level. The Junior School implements the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme from Kindergarten to Year Six. At the heart of the PYP is structured inquiry as a vehicle for learning. Inquiry learning gives ownership of learning to the students and develops their questioning, research and critical thinking skills. It allows them to pursue their own interests and make meaningful connections with what they are learning to their home, community and the world.
Sport is an essential element in the life of a Trinity boy, and each boy is given the opportunity to develop a healthy body. Boys from Year 4 to Year 6 participate in both the summer and winter sporting programme. Year 3 boys have a chance to develop their skills at all of the major sports that the School offers in the Primary School. Sport is viewed as an extension of the classroom and each boy can continue to develop not only his own personal fitness but also the important life lessons of team work and fair play. There is a variety of co-curricular sporting activities for boys to choose from at the Junior School, most of which are conducted using the state of the art sporting facilities on the Summer Hill site.
Junior School boys are encouraged to be part of the co-curricular programme that is offered. With outstanding Artistic and Musical programmes, along with many other activities, the boys can enhance and explore their creative potential. All boys are encouraged to develop through a wide range of co-curricular activities. This is an avenue where they may harness this important aspect their development.
