EduCativ Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Opened in 1872, Trinity College was established as an affiliated residential college of the University of Melbourne and prepared theological candidates for ordained ministry in the Anglican Church of Australia. The College has significantly expanded since then and today consists of three divisions the Pathways School, the Residential College, and the Theological School. Today, the College has a diverse student body of more than 2,000 students from a wide range of socio-economic, geographic, and cultural backgrounds. This has created a vibrant and supportive learning community. Trinity College embraces reconciliation and is committed to giving young Indigenous students access to tertiary study and supporting them academically, pastorally, and culturally to build their chances of completing a university degree. Opportunities abound for all our students to explore new interests and pursue their extra-curricular passions – be they musical, sporting, cultural, spiritual, entrepreneurial, or in the areas of leadership and social responsibility. The breadth and depth of these opportunities, supported by extensive student welfare and pastoral care structures, and the diversity of students' backgrounds, nurtures the development of well-rounded individuals, able and willing to lead and serve, locally, nationally, or internationally. Trinity was founded initially as both an Anglican residential college and a training ground for young men pursuing ordination to the Anglican Church. As one of the earliest advocates for equality in tertiary education, the College has continued to innovate. We are proud to welcome men and women of various ages, nationalities, and religious backgrounds. Trinity College is a vibrant, diverse community inspiring and enabling students of exceptional promise to imagine and achieve a better world. The College expects the highest levels of achievement in the academic, cultural, ethical, and social endeavors of all of its members, past, and present. The College is committed to a holistic view of individual excellence, with each member seeking to realize their potential in all fields fully. The College enables members by providing facilities supportive of this goal and in a culturally and aesthetically rich setting. Trinity acknowledges that community is an essential component of all its programs. It is past and present students, teachers, and other staff who benefit from each other's experiences and exercise responsibility for each other's learning and well-being. The College is a community inclusive of all, regardless of their social or demographic attributes. The College welcomes all who are accepting of this diversity. All College members, past and present, create a more equitable society and a healthy and sustainable environment. Past and present members achieve these aims through both their public and private lives. View full university Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
