Preparatory
Strathfield Campus | The Preparatory School
At the Preparatory School we provide the foundation steps in a comprehensive all-round education, which ultimately develops responsible, contributing members of society. We understand the importance of a making a good beginning. The Preparatory School caters for boys from Pre- Kindergarten to Year 6 (4 years – 12 years) and is located at Strathfield. The School has well- resourced classrooms and access to state of the art facilities. Experienced and caring staff members facilitate programmes to meet the academic, social, physical, emotional, spiritual and cultural needs of each child.
Trinity provides an opportunity for each child to develop and reach his academic potential. The PYP is taught at the Preparatory School from Pre- 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.
Physical activity is an integral component of the development of the all-round child. Opportunities are provided for each child to develop skills that will translate into many areas of his life well beyond the gates of the School. A commitment to a winter and summer sport for all boys from Year 4 to Year 6 as well as an opportunity to develop skills in all of the School’s major sports for Year 3 is the beginning of a programme to develop team building and life skills important to each boy’s personal development. There is also a variety of co-curricular sporting activities for every boy at the Preparatory School to ensure each boy can develop his body.
The co-curricular activities provided at the Preparatory School are diverse. Highlighted by an outstanding co-curricular Music programme, there are many opportunities for boys to explore an area of passion and interest outside of the classroom. Whilst not compulsory, boys are encouraged to become involved in the extra activities. The cultural development of each boy is another important dynamic in the development of the all-round young Trinity man.
At the Preparatory School, the boys receive a thoroughly Christian education with spiritual qualities in every sphere of learning so that they will “grow in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man, in order that they may become responsible, contributing members of society.”
