Congratulations to the Class of 2021 The 2021 cohort, despite experiencing two years of challenges due to the pandemic, achieved a set of outstanding results in the VCE. The median ATAR score of 86.65, median Study Score of 34 and eight perfect Study Scores (including from one Ruyton student in our Coordinate Program) are testament to their resilience and perseverance. The results show that 76% of Trinity students scored in the top 25% of the state, 40.1% received an ATAR of 90 or above, and 22% achieved 95 or above. Principal Adrian Farrer extended his congratulations and noted that the results of every student in the Class of 2021 are worthy of acknowledgement and celebration. He also recognised ‘the many people who supported and encouraged our students throughout their education – the parent community, the teachers and support staff here at Trinity, and the wider TGS family. We are proud of this cohort, not just for

their academic performance and co-curricular achievements, but for their courage, compassion and contribution to the community throughout their time with us.’
