Trinity College is open to all who want their children educated in a broad, liberal and Christian tradition. Beginning in the early 1980s, Trinity has grown to become a thriving yet affordable, multi-campus college featuring five Reception to Year 10 schools and one Senior School (Years 11 and 12). Trinity College is where innovation meets opportunity. As a future-focused, values-driven learning community, we combine cutting-edge technology, inclusive culture and academic excellence to empower every student to thrive. Through our unique Trinity Education Model, we don’t just prepare students for the future we equip them to shape it. The College aims to develop the spiritual, social, academic, creative and physical potential of each student in a caring and disciplined environment. Importantly, we help each student appreciate the joy of living and equip them with the skills they need to become valuable members of the community.

As an independent, forward-thinking girls’ school we are committed to preparing girls for a lifetime of learning, leadership and engagement in our global community. We believe in girls. At Ruyton Girls’ School we foster the individuality of each girl in a caring and safe environment, nurturing her intellectual, physical, social and emotional qualities that are essential to flourish. Powerful learning is central to the Ruyton culture, building on our strong academic reputation. We focus on advancing the learning of every girl through the engagement of intellectual curiosity, building their knowledge and skills about how to learn, and supporting them to achieve their personal best and be exemplary citizens. We believe in real-world learning beyond the classroom, collaborating with the wider community to promote growth, discovery and sustainability. We empower our girls to lead lives of purpose with courage, character and compassion. Through the development of values and action-focused learning they are inspired to pursue equity and justice for self and others. By embracing diversity and raising their voices, our girls effect positive change and make a difference.
