Trinity Catholic College is an independent co-educational secondary college located over two adjacent campuses on the northern fringe of Lismore, New South Wales, Australia.HistorySt Mary's College for girls was founded by the Presentation sisters in 1886, as a boarding school, and continued its development when the Marist brothers opened St Joseph's high school for boys in 1911. The two schools formally amalgamated to form Trinity Catholic College Lismore in 1985, with a ceremony in late 1984 which laid the banners of St Mary's and St Joseph's schools to rest, and marked the official amalgamation of the two schools into Trinity Catholic College Lismore.Sexual abuse allegationsIn June, July and August 2014 the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, a royal commission of inquiry initiated in 2013 by the Australian Government and supported by all of its state governments, began an investigation into the response of Marist Brothers to allegations of child sexual abuse in schools in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland. Witnesses gave evidence or made statements before the Royal Commission that the alleged cases of abuse happened during the 1970s and 1980s at Daramalan College, Canberra, at Lismore, and in Far North Queensland.MottoTrinity's motto is; In Word And Deed. This is based on from the New Testament: "little children, let us love one another, not in word or speech, but in truth and action".
