Holy Trinity Primary School

Holy Trinity is a Catholic school grounded in the values of faith, hope, and love, with a commitment to upholding the equality, dignity, and worth of every individual. Its mission is to inspire meaningful connections between students, their faith, their learning, and the world. The school strives to foster a community that is service-oriented and dedicated to social justice and responsibility.

The school delivers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), a concept-driven curriculum that emphasizes inquiry-based learning. The framework is built upon four essential elements: knowledge, concepts, skills, and action. The Early Learning Centre provides a Catholic pre-school environment for four-year-olds, designed to support a seamless transition into the primary school years.

The school aims to develop curious, inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are prepared to contribute to a compassionate and peaceful world. Graduates are described as internationally minded, possessing strong research skills and the ability to think critically, which assists them in their transition to secondary education. The school reports on student progress through interim reports, formal semester reports, three-way conferences, learning journeys, and work exhibitions.

Learning is differentiated to cater to a wide range of abilities and individual needs within the classroom. The school employs dedicated classroom support teachers and assistants to provide additional assistance in literacy and numeracy. Support is also available for students for whom English is an additional language.

The school accepts enrolments from families residing in its priority enrolment area, which includes the suburbs of Curtin, Lyons, Yarralumla, Deakin, and Phillip. Families are encouraged to submit an enquiry form or contact the school to arrange a tour before completing an application. The school maintains a policy that no child is denied a Catholic education due to an inability to pay fees, and financial concessions are available upon request. Payments can be scheduled on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or termly basis.

The school operates on a four-term academic year. The school day begins with teacher supervision at 8:30 am, followed by a morning assembly and session at 9:00 am. The daily schedule includes two play/lunch breaks and concludes with dismissal at 3:10 pm.

The campus features contemporary classrooms and dedicated break-out areas specifically designed to promote collaboration and inquiry-based learning. The school also houses a library and facilities to support its specialist programs in music, arts, and ICT. An Early Learning Centre is located on-site to provide a nurturing environment for four-year-olds.

The school provides before and after school care services for students. Additionally, the curriculum is supported by specialist instruction in areas such as Italian, music, creative arts, and ICT. Library services are also integrated into the student experience.
