2 | Academic Results 2018

Congratulations to the Class of 2018The VCE results of the Class of 2018 are only a snapshot of these boys’ time at Trinity, and while ATAR scores are important, they are by no means the only measure by which we should judge a Trinity boy at the end of his time with us.

That being said, it is important for us to acknowledge those boys who have achieved at the highest levels in their VCE. We congratulate them on these impressive accomplishments, which are the result of much hard work and dedication throughout the year. Equally, we recognise the achievements of all of our boys who gave the year their very best effort, and have hopefully achieved an ATAR of which they can be proud.

My sincere thanks to our staff, both teaching and support, for their unwavering commitment to ensuring each boy has received the guidance and assistance they have required to achieve their personal best.

We are very proud of the Class of 2018 and will follow their future pursuits with great interest. And, of course, we sincerely hope that they stay in touch.
