Trinity Grammar School, Kew

What Trinity Grammar School, Kew does

Trinity Grammar School, Kew is a not-for-profit Anglican independent boys' school in Melbourne, Australia, operating across four locations: the main Kew campus (40 Charles Street), the 63-acre Marles Playing Fields in Bulleen, and outdoor education sites at Lake Nillahcootie and Licola. Founded in 1902/1903 as the second Anglican boys' school in Melbourne, the school serves approximately 1,500 students from a co-educational Early Learning Centre (3 and 4-year-olds) through to Year 12, with single-sex education for boys from Prep to Year 10 and co-educational VCE delivery in partnership with Ruyton Girls' School located 450 metres away. The school offers both the Victorian Certificate of Education and the International Baccalaureate, alongside cocurricular programmes in sport (AGSV competition), music, drama, and outdoor education, plus the recently launched Personal BEST wellbeing curriculum.

The school runs on a subscription-style recurring tuition revenue model, with fees not publicly disclosed and scholarships offered as merit-based financial support. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party platforms: FireflyCloud (myTGS) for the learning management system, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, a Microsoft PowerApps-built Trinity Connect community platform, and LinkSafe for compliance management. The school is governed by a School Council of up to 12 members with Anglican, parent, alumni, and skills-based representation, and operates under a 2019 Constitution updated in 2023 following Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority review.

Go-to-market is direct and admissions-driven, using the school's website, Instagram, LinkedIn, on-campus Information Mornings, and virtual tours to attract prospective families across more than 80 Melbourne suburbs. Strategic positioning rests on a 124-year heritage, documented values of truth, courage, community and service, strong academic outcomes (12 perfect Study Scores, median ATAR 91 in 2023), a first-in-Victoria Tottenham Hotspur football partnership, and the multi-year Trinity Tomorrow Masterplan redevelopment funded through reserves and the newly established Trinity Foundation.
