Strong, collaborative and intentional partnerships for our future

Ashley Butler Chair of School Council

‘Partnership is not a posture but a process; a continuous process that grows stronger each year as we devote ourselves to common tasks.’

John F Kennedy

Some may say that partnerships are one of the key ingredients to life. Life partners; work partners; sporting partnerships; friendships; corporate, social and spiritual partnerships: we can all immediately think of examples of each that typify the commitment, effort and reward that comes from the process of investing in one another.

The work currently underway by School Council, which is underscored by the Trinity 2030 Strategic Plan, relies on strong, collaborative and intentional partnerships; partnerships that will help us foster new and better ways for learning, leading and wellbeing, enabling our individuals to thrive.

By developing new and enhancing existing connections, we will enable the creation of pathways for our community to choose and create their own “Trinity adventure”.

The ambition resolved by Council is for the school to be a leader in personalised learning, deeper partnerships, broader perspectives and rich pathways.

With a significant focus on personalised learning, leadership and wellbeing for students and staff, the Trinity 2030 Strategic Plan presents an exciting plan for the school – one that will work in parallel with the upcoming facilities Master Plan.

The ambition of the Strategic Plan has been built around a twohorizon, staged approach. The first horizon over the next three years will focus considerably on context, review, testing, benchmarking, better practice and consolidation. The second horizon will be centred on implementation, enhancement, initiative and enacting positive change. For 120 years, Trinity has been an aspirational learning community, one which prizes a "values education". As we emerge from the pandemic, we have the opportunity to reset our thinking and set our direction for the school’s future.

We believe that this plan captures and embraces the things we understand to be particularly us – the value we place on the individual, the richness of genuine partnerships and our meaningful, humble charisma – as well as a history of innovation that continues to benefit the students in our care.

I look forward to sharing further updates with you as the Master Plan and other exciting Strategic Plan projects come to fruition.

Together, we have the opportunity for all our people to commit to and invest in their own “Trinity adventure” and help to shape our world beyond.
