Our History

Holy Trinity Primary was established in 1885 by the Sisters of St Joseph.

The Sisters of St Joseph ran Holy Trinity Primary up until 1976, when the first lay principal, Shirley Reed, was appointed.

The school has seen many changes with building programs taking place in 1913, 1934, 1964, and 1995. In 2009, the school received Australian Government funding as part of the Building the Education Revolution (BER). There were two components: the National School Pride (NSP) program with work carried out in 2010 and the Primary Schools in the 21st Century (P21) program with work completed in term 4, 2010.

In 2015/2016 the school was involved in a refurbishment of Stage 2 and Stage 3 to develop the spaces so that they could be agile, flexible learning spaces.

Today Holy Trinity is a welcoming, multicultural learning community with our students coming from 23 different language backgrounds. Our faith has continued to guide our school, as we follow the charism of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop: 'Never see a need without doing something about it'.
