Trinity Lutheran College values excellence, diversity and the unique strengths each student brings to our community. Each year we proudly recognise and support these qualities by awarding a range of scholarships that encourage students to learn, thrive and succeed.
2027 Scholarship applications open October 2025.
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.
