Trinity College Poatina

Sydney Private Schools introduces Trinity College Poatina in Poatina, for all your education and learning needs.

Trinity College is a K-12 school situated at Poatina Village in the heart of Tasmania. It is a college that recognises, affirms and celebrates the unique potential of every student. We realise that, as that uniqueness is respected, individuals are free to participate fully in community, where the answers to the questions of existence, namely “Who am I?”, “What am I like?”, “What can I do?” and “What am I worth?” can be discovered.

Students find answers to these questions in both the specific learning community of the college and the wider community of the village of Poatina and the Northern Midlands Region, of which Trinity College is a part. We endeavour to explore the world with students and assist them to discover their place in it. As a school community we acknowledge that the education and well being of our students is a combined responsibility of parents/carers, staff and the surrounding community. As stakeholders we will work together to provide services which will enhance students’ experience at Trinity College and bring greater opportunities for learning, growth and development. We enter into a contract with each other to facilitate that process.

The educational foundation for the College is the new Australian Curriculum put together by ‘The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority’ who is responsible for the development of the Australian Curriculum from Foundation (Kinder) to Year 12. The Melbourne Declaration, a key document upon which it is based, commits “to supporting all young Australians to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens”, and to promoting equity and excellence in education. The Australian Curriculum will “equip all young Australians with the essential skills, knowledge and capabilities to thrive and compete in a globalised world and information rich workplaces of the current century.
