Trinity College, Gawler

Trinity College, previously known as Trinity College Gawler, is an Anglican, K–12, co-educational, day school in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

Established in 1984,^[2] approximately 4,000 students are enrolled in 6 schools across 4 campuses in Evanston South, Angle Vale, Blakeview, and Roseworthy.^[3][4]

Students from the College have been successful in the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge (3rd in the small school section in 2004), the Tournament of Minds (2003 Secondary Division in Maths Engineering) and the Wakakirri competition, with Gawler River earning a 1st place in the division one section for new schools and South receiving 1st in the division three section. Trinity College is also home to the BaCoNeers, a FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team.^[5]

Trinity College was formed in 1984, when a group of parents started classes with 27 students in the hall at St George's Anglican Church in Gawler, before moving to its now current location in Evanston South. In 1994, the college purchased 2.16 square kilometres of bushland and created the Blackham Environmental and Conservation Centre.^[2]

In 1995, the Trinity College Foundation was formed with a Board of 11 volunteer members and became incorporated in 1996.

In 2000, the college opened STARplex, a business adjacent to the senior campus, owned and operated by the college. As of 2025, the centre has four multi-purpose indoor courts, a 25m and 15m indoor heated swimming pool, gymnasium, café, theatre, and a conference room.^[6][7] Some facilities of the business are offered to the general public, as well as being used by the college.

In 2020, the "Trinity Innovation and Creativity School" was opened, containing an art gallery, podcast studios, green rooms, 360 degree projection room, multiple classrooms, design studios and a sunken gallery with a large screen. In 2021 it was announced the school would be teaching students to create VR content as a partner in a project with Pembroke and SEDA College, with the schools working with Newcastle University to run a year-long trial in VR content creation.^[8]

En 2021, ocurrió un incidente de presunto racismo que involucró a dos alumnas de último año del Trinity College, quienes supuestamente lincharon a una muñeca negra. ^{[ 15 ] [ 16 ]} Una muñeca blanca también fue maltratada. ^{[ 15 ]} Si bien una investigación de la escuela determinó que el incidente no tuvo motivaciones raciales, la escuela reconoció que "no tener una intención racista no significa que el impacto no sea racista" y suspendió a siete estudiantes por el incidente. ^{[ 17 ]}
