Trinity Grammar School

Trinity Grammar School is composed of four campuses, The Senior & Junior Schools at Summer Hill, The Preparatory School at Strathfield, The Infants' School at Lewisham and the outdoor campus at Pine Bluff. A strong pastoral and spiritual thread ties together the academic, sporting and cultural elements of the School.

Bishop Chambers House is Trinity's boarding facility just down the road from our Summer Hill Campus.

There are many good qualities in a boy, which can come to the fore as a result of his time as a Boarder at Trinity. We hope you see these qualities evolve in your son and that together, you as parents as we as the Boarding Staff, will be able to give your son the opportunities to develop the qualities and talents he already has.

There are three options available to parents of boys who board at Trinity.

1. Full Boarding

This is the most common form and is particularly suitable for boys whose parents are intrastate, interstate or overseas. It is also a valuable option for boys who require more strictly supervised, organised study and other routines, and for boys who wish to reduce travel time to and from Summer Hill and put the extra time gained to extra study.

Full boarding is seven days a week. There are two exeat weekends each term during which boys are required to leave the Boarding House by no later than 12 noon Saturday, returning no later than 10.00pm Sunday. They may stay with parents, guardians or any other family approved of and authorised by parents. Other leave may be requested by parents from time to time, and day leave may also be applied for once or twice a term.

2 Weekly Boarding

This option is popular with boys whose parents live locally and who have a willing and parent-approved guardian prepared to provide appropriate care each weekend.

Under this arrangement a boy must return home to his parents or nominated guardian each weekend, returning to the Boarding House in time for Chapel on Sunday evening prior to 6.10 pm.

Application for Weekly Boarding requires parents to sign a form in which they indicate the person with whom the boy will be residing, the location of the residence, and contact phone numbers. Weekly Boarders apply for leave each week in the normal manner and it will be automatically approved by the Housemaster, provided that academic work and behaviour have been of a suitable standard and all co-curricular and sporting commitments have been honoured. Any breach of these conditions may result in weekly boarding privileges being withdrawn for a time or revoked entirely.

3 Day Boarding

Day Boarding is offered to boys who require short-stay residential care for one or two nights to facilitate their attendance at sport training or other co-curricular or school responsibilities. Day Boarding is available Monday to Thursday only. Day Boarders are not part of School House, and retain their day House affiliation and remain part of the Day School. Day Boarding is not intended for long-term residential care.
