our college: SENIOR years

Curriculum: Vocational Education & Training

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is ‘education and training for work’ and part of a broader educational network in Australia that includes schools, universities, and adult and community education. Trinity offers several subjects as part of its VET program. These VET courses are nationally accredited courses and certificates, offered either by the school or in partnership with another Registered Training Organisation (RTO). 

YEAR 10

Year 10 provides both a continuation of our broad curriculum as well as additional opportunities for students to begin moving towards their likely learning pathway through Years 11 and 12. In Year 10, students are able to explore a wide range of career and vocational options through the SET (Senior Education and Training) Plan process. These experiences help students to make important decisions about their future education, training and employment.


Staff are experienced in recognising different learning styles and, through an extensive professional development program, well equipped to offer a variety of activities designed to engage students.


You can read our Year 10 Curriculum Handbook below for more detailed information.

YEARS 11 AND 12

The college offers students personalised pathways through Years 11 and 12. All students must participate in our Friday sport program and all students are required to study:

In Years 11 and 12 our students choose a combination of subjects to suit their post school goals. General and extension subjects can be studied to qualify for an Australian Tertiary Entrance Rank (ATAR) which is used for direct entry into university. Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses lead to certification, work opportunities and further study in a chosen field. Applied courses provide students with a balanced education to prepare them for work, further study and adulthood.
