Having been involved in boarding and international environments for more than thirty years, with sixteen of them as a school Principal, David is enjoying the challenge of working with a culturally diverse group of young adults finding their way in the world.
David’s wife is a professional artist and he has a dog, a cat, and six young adult children. He loves all things sport, food and wine.

Born in Sri Lanka and having lived in England, Zambia, Malaysia and Singapore, it’s safe to say Adam felt right at home within our global community. He joined the Board in 2013 and assumed the position of Chair in 2021.

Originally from the U.K, Ian has lived in Australia for almost 20 years. He holds accounting qualifications from both countries and has worked in not-for-profit and commercial organisations.
Ian has two children and is a passionate supporter of Leeds United. His favourite thing about Trin is working with a diverse range of staff and students, and hearing all the wonderful accents and languages.
