our college: SENIOR years

About Senior Years

The transition to the Senior Years marks a period of new academic and social challenges but life in these year levels is full and rewarding. Experienced teachers, the use of advanced educational technology and the ability to employ an independent, innovative, modern, and creative methodology mean that our students are exposed to a dynamic academic program in which they are challenged constantly to achieve their very best. We guide and support our students as they evolve into young men and women ready to take on the world.

PREPARING YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO TAKE ON THE WORLD

Year 10 marks the beginning of senior schooling and provides additional opportunities for students. We focus on providing an enriching and supportive learning environment with no gender bias. We foster our students’ self-esteem and social skills and prepare them for a diverse world where both genders play important roles and contribute in equally important ways to the fabric of society.

Distinctive to Trinity are our personalised pathways for learning ensuring that by Year 10, we are supporting the unique talents of students, be they academic, cultural, sporting or vocational, through a dedicated path appropriate to their chosen form of education.

There is a strong focus on career planning, academic monitoring and guidance in the Senior Years to ensure that each student is following a pathway that reflects their abilities and interests, whether academic, leading to Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) and/or Vocational training.

At Trinity we care for the ‘whole person’ with a focus on realising the full potential of each and every student no matter where their passions and areas of excellence lie. We want our students to achieve their own ‘personal best’ with results that reflect the unique talents and abilities of each student.

OUR PROGRAMS

We offer a broad and diverse program to cover the unique interests and abilities of every senior student, and our teaching staff are highly capable of adapting to a variety of learning styles and requirements to ensure your child succeeds in their own unique way. Our learning programs include core subject offerings, certificate courses, extension programs and structured outdoor and development programs to provide students with a wide variety of learning pathways.

PASTORAL CARE

Trinity has a Restorative Practices philosophy, in keeping with our Lutheran approach to education and relational management. This philosophy provides Trinity students with the opportunity to develop self-discipline and positive behaviours in a caring, supportive environment with quality relationships between all members of the school community – parent, students and staff alike – being the number one focus. We strive to make each girl and boy at Trinity Lutheran College feel safe, secure and valued.

SHAPING OUR NEXT GENERATION

Trinity recognises how important these last few years of schooling are. Students are making decisions around not only on the subjects they study that will impact their final results, but also the life paths they want to take upon graduation. The years spent in our senior school will guide and shape your children into the adults they become. As one of the leading high schools on the Gold Coast shaped by fundamental Christian values, Trinity Lutheran College fosters an environment of personal growth and development as well as academic success. By equipping senior students with the knowledge, values and real-world abilities to move into the next stage of their life with confidence and passion, we are, in fact, shaping the next generation of leaders.
