Trinity Anglican School is a member of Round Square which is a world wide organisation of schools who share a commitment beyond academic excellence, to personal development and responsibility through service, challenge, adventure and international understanding.

Kurt Hahn, was a remarkable educator, and founded the Salem school in Germany, Gordonstoun School in Scotland, Outward Bound, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and United World Colleges. His aim was to develop young people whose convictions would be rooted in personal responsibility, kindness and justice.

The central goal of Hahn's philosophy was that schools should not simply "prepare" students for tertiary study or work but should also prepare them for life directly, in ways that would demand courage, generosity, imagination, principle and resolution.

Round Square is based upon the IDEALS philosophy.

• International Understanding
• Democracy and Leadership
• Environmental Responsibility
• Adventure
• Leadership
• Service

Membership of Round Square provided opportunities for Trinity Anglican Students to:

• Travel as exchange students to other schools in Australia and overseas.
• Participate in international service projects initiated by other member schools.
• Attend annual Australian junior and senior conferences as well as the international conference.

Trinity Anglican School has been an Associate Member of Round Square for three years, and became a full Member in 2004. During that time we have had many student exchanges with schools in South Africa, Switzerland, Scotland, Canada, Oman and India. Our School and students have been enriched by this participation.
