Junior School
Our desire is to equip students for a lifetime of learning, purpose and engagement.
A successful start to a child’s education is critical in establishing strong foundations for learning. We want our Junior School students at Trinity Christian School to recognise and develop the individual gifts and abilities that God has given them. We understand the value of planting small seeds and then nurturing them to grow.
With a strong focus on Literacy, Numeracy and Inquiry, our Junior School aims to equip our students with the skills and curiosity to expand their thinking and problem-solving capabilities and so ignite their joy of learning. We encourage all our students to question, grapple, explore and reason so they may become capable, confident and powerful learners. When children and their families join our Junior School community, they feel valued, respected and cared for, both by our dedicated staff and also other families.

From the Head of School
At Trinity Christian School we desire for each student to become all that God has created them to be – recognising and growing the unique gifts and abilities that God has given them.
We want our students to develop a passion for life and for learning. We believe the words in Proverbs (22:6) “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it”. Children have an immense capacity to learn when their strengths and needs are identified and addressed. Every child is beautifully unique. They have the potential to not only succeed in attaining individual excellence, but to positively impact and make a difference in their community.
The Junior School is an exciting place where enthusiasm and engagement permeate every area of our campus. The learning experiences in and out of our classrooms are designed to inspire and motivate young minds and bodies, and encourage spiritual, cognitive, physical and social growth in each individual. We welcome you to our Junior School in 2024.

We are committed to working cooperatively in partnership with parents and guardians.
The care and concern for our students is prevalent on a day-to-day basis through the interactions between students and their teachers. While all members of our School community are ready and committed to working with students and their families, additional support is provided in the Junior School by the Junior School Wellbeing Coordinator, professional Social Workers, Occupational Therapist and our Head of Junior School.
