"Why I love my school is that it has the strength, the traditions, and the foundation upon which we evolved. We do not own Trinity, we are caretakers.
It is our responsibility, our duty, to ensure that Trinity benefits not just our own children, but it benefits our country, our society, and the world at large, because it is only through us and the generations of future Trinitians that the world will truly recognize how great Trinity is."
- Kumar Sangakkara
A major 5-year Development Plan is designed to restore Trinity to its former glory by the time of our 150th anniversary in 2022. Many of the school buildings, ranging from Classrooms to Boarding facilities to Sports facilities need urgent attention to make them fit for purpose.

"Trinity's got a very interesting history of building, which reflected the particular time in which these buildings were built, and we can very clearly understand that each of those groups of people who were building were looking at what was going out on around the world, and somehow the buildings that came up reflected the thinking in architecture at that time.In that way, it is very much a Trinity tradition.”
But, you don't remain in the past, you look to the future.—Respice Finem
