This followed two years of prayer, planning, and preparations by college boards and principals (Dr Allan Chapple and Dr Stephen Rarig).

Trinity was located at Bull Creek Westminster Presbyterian church from 1998 to 2003. In May 2004 the main campus moved to a purpose-designed premises in Leederville: "Trinity House".
