Trinity College

College History

Celebrating 25 years of service
The Trinity College story began in 1984 when a small group of committed families from Gawler began operation with 27 students in the hall at St George’s Anglican Church.

In 1985 the College moved to its current location of Alexander Avenue in Evanston Park. Since then Trinity College has undergone significant growth and development but remains an institution that adheres to its founding principles.

Trinity College is open to all who would like their children educated in a liberal and Anglican tradition regardless of their economic status or religious affiliation.

The vision and pioneering spirit of dedicated staff, parents and students has seen Trinity College grow into an extraordinary educational institution offering Preschool to Year 12.

Now into its third decade of operation, Trinity College has become widely recognised for the realisation of its stated ethos - excellence for all.

College Profile

Based on the philosophy that educating students is a privilege and that teaching students is a vocation, Trinity College is committed to providing the highest quality education for all students.

We are open to all who want their children educated in a liberal and Christian tradition, regardless of their religious affiliation.

This philosophy remains true to the vision of the school's founders; a group of Anglican parishioners from Gawler who wanted to establish a college of excellence open to all in a caring Christian environment.

From these humble beginnings in the early 1980s, the College has become one of Australia's largest leading independent schools, widely recognised for its high quality academic, vocational, sporting and co-curricular programmes, excellent staff, nurturing environment and superb facilities.

Spanning five schools, Trinity College currently supports 2,600 families, with children in Reception to Year 12.

Our five schools (Trinity College Senior, Blakeview, Gawler River, North, South and our Montessori Preschool) feature state-of-the-art facilities, modern comfortable classrooms and landscaped grounds. There is also plenty of room to move; the North and South schools are located on 100 acres, and Blakeview and Gawler River are situated on over 20 acres each.

Each school has its own full-time staff, ensuring your child receives special care and attention, no matter which school he or she attends.
