Trinity Grammar School, Victoria
Encyclopedia
Trinity Grammar School is an independent
Anglican day
and boarding school
for boys, located across several campuses in Melbourne, Victoria
, Australia.
The school was founded at a meeting of several high-ranking church figures on November 14, 1902. It opened in 1903, operating out of a church hall. At one point, Trinity was the fourth largest school in terms of student population in Victoria.
Trinity is a founding member of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria
(AGSV). It has just over 1300 students and around seven boarders.
In 1906, the school purchased a property, "Roxeth" (now Henty House, the staffroom and other offices), and a small distance to the south of the church, on the corner of Wellington Street and Charles Street. Trinity quickly built Arnold Hall, the first classroom block, completing it the next year. In the same year, Trinity was registered as a Public School of the Church of England
. The school leased "Molina", a property on the other side of Charles Street, and the site of the former Kew High School, which is now further to the north, in 1908, and in 1909 the school built a science laboratory beside Arnold Hall.
Two years later, G.M. Long left the school to become Bishop of Bathurst, and Reverend A.W. Tonge was appointed Headmaster. A second classroom building was built, now demolished to make way for the Centre for Contemporary Learning. In 1917, Trinity again appointed a new Headmaster, Frank Shann, who would lead the school for the next two and a half decades. Under his tenure, the school grew to a total of 245 boys, and many buildings were built, including the now demolished War Memorial Library, the Junior School classroom building, and the "Health Pavilion". "Molina" was brought from its owner, John Henning, as well as neighbouring property "Elsinore". The properties were subsequently renamed in 1925, "Molina" becoming Merritt House, "Elsinore" Roberts House, and "Roxeth" Henty House. Frank Shann died in 1943.
Alfred Bright became headmaster upon Frank Shann's death. The school built a second storey for the Junior School in 1952, and in the following year, the Parents' and Friends' Hall, a multipurpose venue, was built between Merritt House and Xavier College
. On Alfred Bright's retirement, John Leppitt was appointed Headmaster. The school advanced greatly during his time as Headmaster, the number of students reaching 812. The Robertson Science and Administration Building was opened in 1959 and extended later on, and two years later, the Junior School building was extended to almost meet Roberts House, providing art and music facilities. In 1968, the Shann Building was constructed between the Robertson Building and the old Arnold Hall, as well as a major sports facility, Cornell Gymnasium.
At the beginning of the 1970s, Trinity purchased land beside Lake Eppalock
, near Bendigo, opening the Leppitt Outdoor Education Centre in 1973, named after the headmaster. In 1975, the Boarding House, which had been run in Merritt House, closed after more than sixty years. The War Memorial Library was demolished in favour of a new classroom building, the three storey Tonge Building, and the library relocated to one floor of the Shann Building. Several years later, in 1979, John Leppitt retired. The new headmaster, Mr. Don Marles, continued the development of the school with a new swimming pool in 1980, and the renovation and renaming to The Bright Laboratories of the original science laboratories housed in the Shann Building. Merritt House, the former boarding house, was converted into a Music School.
As a result of new buildings constructed over the previous two decades, the school sought further land for Outdoor Sport Facilities. Trinity purchased land in Bulleen, near the Yarra River
, and opened the Marles Playing Fields there. These facilities continue to be used today on a regular basis.
1989 saw the building of another classroom building, the, now demolished, Poynter Building. The Tuckshop, the original canteen, was closed in 1990, and the Cafeteria opened on the ground floor of the Shann Building. Two years later, the school finally built a dedicated chapel for weekly services. (Previously, students had to attend services at the Holy Trinity Church, where the school began.) Don Marles retired the same year, replaced by Peter Crawley.
The school was interested in the new technology of notebook computers, and in 1994, laptops were introduced to the school curriculum for years 5 through to 12.
In 1996, the school purchased the Kew Municipal Offices, after the City of Kew
was amalgamated into the City of Boroondara
, in order to further expand its facilities. Two years later, it opened as the Centre for the Arts. Peter Crawley then resigned in the same year.
In 1999, Mr. Richard Tudor, was appointed as Headmaster, and the co-educational Early Learning Centre was opened. In 2000, the computers began using wireless technology, and in the following year, the school began the construction of the Science and Technology Building to replace the Bright Laboratories, and this opened in 2003. 2003 saw Trinity celebrate its centenary year.
The school opened a new gymnasium, the Peter McIntyre Sports Centre, to complement the old Cornell Sports Gym, and another block of forested land was purchased at Licola, to complement the Outdoor Education Centre at Lake Eppalock. The school also purchased the Stillwell Showroom in 2005, on the corner of Charles Street and Cotham Road, which is currently used as a multipurpose venue, with impending development of the site in the future.
In 2011, the Poynter Building and tennis courts were demolished to make room for the Centre for Contemporary Learning. This is set for completion in 2013. it will contain six classrooms as well as a two storey library and a Coffee and Coke Bar to complement it on the ground level. it will cross a basement, ground level with a mezzanine and an upper level. An auditorium is also set to be built replacing the P&F Hall as the hall. The mezzanine will have an art display gallery.
Trinity has developed a reputation as a high-achieving school in the VCE
and is known for a well-balanced approach to single sex education. In recent years, Trinity and its sister school, Ruyton Girls' School
, have conducted co-educational classes for VCE year levels.
