Trinity Grammar School, Kew has an esteemed history of educating boys that extends over 118 years. Its traditions are therefore strong, and its motto of Viriliter Agite – Act Manfully – remains the School's guiding principle. A modern view of manfulness, however, requires much more than its traditionally ascribed characteristics of courage and stoicism.Accordingly, Trinity prides itself on preparing boys for a self-satisfying and happy life, a life of resilience, respectfulness and fulfilling relationships; of compassion to others and contribution to the broader society and communities in which they live.
