Trinity offers disadvantaged boys remarkable educational opportunities, and it is our wider community that helps make this happen.
We are committed to raising and increasing the amount of funding being directed to scholarship students to attend Trinity. You can help change the future of students who are less advantaged, by:
Trinity’s parents also pave the way for educational philanthropy by committing to improving and maintaining our built environment. Gifts made each term are tax deductible. Parents are not only investing in bricks and mortar, but in the future success of Trinity boys. Their generosity helps create our built spaces for future educational growth.
Ky Willoughby (‘20)
Ky Willoughby (‘20) is a prime example of a student whose Trinity life was kick-started by a scholarship.
“It’s given me the whole world to be able to do what I want,” he said. “For Aboriginal people, it’s just about getting the opportunity and once we get that opportunity, we take it with both hands and just go with it.
"Being able to share my culture, where I’m from, with the new friends I made when I came to Trinity was really important. I wanted to demonstrate to the Trinity community how beautiful aboriginal culture is, and in turn my friends shared their cultures with me – we all grew and benefited.”
He says that his experience has already inspired other members of his family to pursue similar scholarship opportunities.
Suli Niulala
The Suli Niulala Scholarship: Trinity’s way of honouring a teacher who gave so much to many
Mr Niulala, 54, taught at Trinity for 15 years before his death in 2022 after a brief battle with liver cancer. He himself was a scholarship beneficiary who left his native Tonga as a 15-year-old to study in New Zealand, where he met his future wife at university.
The Suli Niulala Memorial Scholarship, for disadvantaged boys of indigenous or Pacific Island heritage, helps transform lives in his name.
Mr Niulala’s wife, Debbie, said it was sometimes difficult for boys of indigenous or disadvantaged backgrounds to enter a school such as Trinity. “Yet the wonderful thing about Trinity is there is so much support, and that constant reaffirmation that you belong here - you will learn and excel if you engage.”
She said her husband’s experience was testimony to the power of a scholarship to transform lives.
Mr Niulala was the eldest of six children, and his family knew that if they were able to get him a scholarship to pursue an education out of Tonga, doors would open for the rest of their children, too. When he succeeded in gaining an academic scholarship, he headed to Christchurch for his senior years of school. That move opened a career path in education where he could improve the lot of young people in his orbit.
For Debbie, the Suli Niulala Scholarship fund is a way that Suli can continue to have that impact for years to come.
“I hope that in 10, 20, 30 years' time, I will still be receiving word from students and recipients of this scholarship, sharing where life has taken them and how their Trinity education has shaped their life.
“Be grateful for the environment at Trinity. Don’t take it for granted. This is not accessible for so many people in Australia, and when you think about that, think about giving that opportunity to someone else.”
