Celebrating our Trinity Lutheran College Class of 2019
It was so exciting when the 2019 Year 12 results started to come through in January and we learnt of all the incredible opportunities and bright futures our Class of 2019 have ahead of them. As we start a new school year it is important to acknowledge and celebrate the successes of the students who have just completed their school journey, and afford them the opportunity to inspire and encourage our current students. Yesterday we had our traditional Scholars Assembly held to recognise and celebrate the 17 students from the Class of 2019 who achieved an OP result
between 1-5, placing them in the top of the top across the state of
Queensland. We were so proud to be able to celebrate with the 14 graduates who were able to join us.
