Celebrating the
Class of 2023
World of Opportunity
While of course we celebrate the achievements of our high flyers and rightly acknowledge their success, at Trinity, doing your best is fostered. The success of students with special needs or learning challenges, who never give in but strive to succeed, also deserve our special praise. Individual attention for all the students in our care is a quintessential element of the Trinity mission. Our graduating class has set goals, overcome adversity and displayed resilience; they are ready for the next chapter in their lives.
Celebrating the Class of 2023
The Class of 2023 delivered some outstanding results with highlights including the College Dux Kaitlyn Wood achieving the remarkable score of 98.95, 21 students attaining an ATAR above 90 and 55 students achieving ATARs above 80. We congratulate Maesie MacGillivray on her Governor of South Australia Commendation - Excellence Award. Only one of 40 students in the State to be awarded this prize. I am delighted that 28 students completed a Certificate II VET qualification, 84 students studied a Certificate III or higher qualification, 66 students used VET towards their ATAR calculation and 15 students completed a school-based traineeship or apprenticeship within SACE. Trinity College congratulates all Year 12 students and we thank them for their excellent contribution to our community. Nick Hately Head of Trinity College
