PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT

Physical Education and Sport play an important part in the development of all Trinity students. Many life skills such as team work, co-operation with others and the ability to strive for success against difficulties are valuable lessons that the boys learn from an involvement in sport. The College encourages the boys to strive for excellence and to set high goals and standards for themselves while at the same time acknowledging the efforts of those around them. Above all, we encourage participation to the best of each person’s ability, regardless of what level they perform at. Trinity prides itself on the conduct and sportsmanship of our boys on the sporting field, and we have high expectations that our standards are maintained at all times. This includes dress and behaviour standards, accepting decisions of umpires and accepting victory or defeat graciously.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical Education is an integral part of the Junior School curriculum. During the weekly sessions the students are involved in a range of activities that develop their skills and fitness level in a wide variety of sport.

House System
Much of the sport played within the school is underpinned by our House System. Each boy is placed in a house (QUEENS, XAVIER, CHANEL and CAMPION) in his first year at the school. Throughout their years in Junior School the boys will be aligned to this house in many carnivals and sporting fixtures within the school.

SPORT
