Why Study at Trinity?

Trinity College Senior acknowledges every young person is unique and so is their pathway through the senior years. Flexibility in educational opportunities is key to ensuring opportunities for successful academic outcomes for all students. From South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) subjects to VET programs and university pathways, Trinity College Senior will provide a world of opportunity for the future of our young people.

The SACE accreditation is an internationally recognised and respected senior secondary education qualification that equips students with the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need to progress to further learning and work as confident and responsible global citizens.
