Trinity Grammar School is an independent, Anglican, day and boarding school for boys in Sydney, Australia. The main campus is in Summer Hill, with a preparatory school in Strathfield. The school recently sold its rural outdoor education campus known as Pine Bluff, near Bigga, New South Wales at the end of 2014. Founded in 1913 by The Right Reverend G.A. Chambers at Dulwich Hill, the school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 2,000 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12,〔 including 32 boarders from Years 7 to 12.〔 Trinity is affiliated with the International Boys' Schools Coalition (IBSC), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), The Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA), which was formerly known as the Junior School Heads Association of Australia(JSHAA), the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), and is a founding member of the Combined Associated Schools (CAS). The Head Master is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (UK). The School is governed by a Council (appointed by ordinance of the Diocese of Sydney), with the Archbishop of Sydney (Dr Peter Jensen) as the President. It currently has seventeen members, with six members being elected by the Diocese of Sydney, six being elected by the Clergy and three being nominated by the Old Trinitarians Union (OTU).〔 The final two positions are voted on by the sitting members of the Council.〔 Mr James Mills was Chairman of the School Council for thirty-three years. He is still a member of the School Council, and Mr Richard Pegg is the current Chairman. Trinity Grammar's "sister school" is Meriden School at Strathfield, an independent, Anglican, day school for girls. == History == The Right Reverend G.A. Chambers, OBE, DD, subsequently Bishop of Central Tanganyika, founded the School in 1913 at Dulwich Hill, of which Parish - the Parish of Holy Trinity - he was then Rector. At its foundation, Trinity was a small parochial school with 29 boys enrolled. This number had reached 57 at the end of that year. Having been appointed Warden of the School, Chambers' immediate task was to find a Headmaster. Thus, K.T. Henderson was appointed as the first Headmaster of Trinity Grammar in February 1913. In November 1915, the School formulated its motto, ''Detur Gloria Soli Deo'', which may be translated from Latin to "Let Glory be Given to God Alone". The School colours were chosen to reflect the liturgical season of Trinity, namely green.〔 A property known as "The Towers" was purchased by the parish and used both as a School and Rectory. Later a larger property, "Hazeldene", was to be bought, also acting as both school and Rectory. The present site at Summer Hill, set in of land, was first occupied by the School in 1926, during the Head Mastership of G.E. Weeks.〔 By 1942 the prospects for Trinity were grim and it was decided that it should be closed. As a last attempt to save the School, the Council appointed J. Wilson Hogg as Headmaster in 1944. By the time Wilson Hogg retired in 1974, Trinity was flourishing and had become one of the leading independent schools in NSW.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trinity Grammar School (New South Wales)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
