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.
