Woollamia Campus | Field Studies Centre

Trinity provides boys with a thoroughly Christian education in mind, body and spirit. This includes providing an education that challenges our students. As they meet these challenges, they are being prepared for the road ahead. The immersive education provided by the Field Studies Programme (FSP) equips boys by providing opportunities for self-discovery, building
relationships, exploring new ways of being in community together, and providing time for selfreflection and spiritual growth in a unique environment.

The school has been committed to residential outdoor education since opening our Pine Bluff campus in 1993. The value of Trinity education is seen in the character of Trinity men long after graduation; the FSP plays an important role in developing their moral compass, being of service to others, and helping them take responsibility for things within their power. A growing body of research indicates the vital importance of immersive education. It is proving to be an effective antidote to apathy and alienation, increasing student engagement, boosting academic outcomes, as well as impacting the communities in which the immersive education takes places.

Whilst the 24 Day programme will continue until the end of Term 3 2021, the new extended term-long residential programme will commence from Term 4 2021. On an extended programme, the boys will engage more deeply in academic, outdoor, and socio-emotional learning. This encourages a stronger sense of affiliation, further developing problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate with others, cultivating a sense of responsibility and instilling a recognition of each boy’s capacity to be a change-maker and leader.
