School Chaplain

Trinity Christian School is an independent, co-educational Preschool to Year 12 school located in the Tuggeranong Valley in Canberra. For over 40 years, Trinity Christian School has been equipping students to live meaningful lives beyond school. However, the true indication of a school’s quality is not in its past but in how well its students learn to have loving hearts, enquiring minds and generous spirits. These are the core aspirations we have for our students and are vital to the Christian education we provide.
