John Kinloch was one of the first cohort of students to enroll at the University of Sydney in 1852. After graduation he became a tutor and schoolmaster. He was also a keen sportsman and played cricket for New South Wales. In 1878, Kinloch started his own school called the Hurlstone School and College, though it closed two years later. It became the Hurlstone Teacher Training College of Female Teachers for the next 24 years. At some point, Trinity Grammar School was on the site of the school.
