Our Mission

Our mission at Trinity Catholic College is to ensure that our students are safe, happy, well taught, and learn to love Jesus and to live by his values in the Marist way.

We provide a safe environment by establishing a clear sense of order and a disciplined climate, which ensures the wellbeing of everyone in the College community. We foster a happy environment by promoting acceptance, belonging and pride in one's self and the College. Our good learning environment challenges students to do their best and reach their academic potential.

Trinity Catholic College is part of the Australian network of Marist schools and has been characterised by a specific Marist spirit, charism and tradition, which show:

• devotion to Mary, mother of Jesus
• a school climate based on the family spirit
• a love of work
• a strong sense of the presence of God and of our own presence to one another
• an emphasis on simplicity
• a commitment to empower young people, and to give ordinary students from ordinary families a better chance in life.

Religious Education

Religious education at Trinity Catholic College encompasses many aspects of school life, including: 

• the classroom Religious Education program
• the integration of Catholic values across the curriculum
• the liturgical and prayer life of the school
• opportunities for retreats and reflection days
• community service programs and voluntary groups.

Through our daily witness, both students and staff recognise the value and importance we place on all these areas. Prayer is seen as an important part of daily life in the College, and our students are encouraged to make prayer a meaningful and relevant part of their lives. As a Catholic College, we place the values of the Gospel at the centre of all our endeavours.

Pastoral Care

Pastoral care plays an important role at Trinity Catholic College. As stated in the Vatican document 'The Catholic School', our College is committed to the development of the whole person, since in Christ - the perfect human being - all human values find their fulfilment and unity.

We aim to provide for each student:

• an atmosphere which makes the individual feel accepted, valued and loved
• good relationships within the College community based on mutual respect and open communication
• a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction from learning
• a safe and disciplined environment where students feel the challenge to pursue excellence in all areas of school life - spiritual, academic, cultural and sporting.

Pastoral care at Trinity Catholic College recognises and values the rich diversity of cultures that exist in the school. Celebration is an important part of the Pastoral Care program in association with the Marist charism, which calls us to foster a family spirit, to be present among young people,  and to mirror the simplicity of Mary in all that we do. We celebrate our College's rich cultural diversity, and provide opportunities to reflect on the spiritual life of the individual and the community.
