Trinity Catholic College marks first Year 12 graduation

Trinity Catholic graduated its first Year 12 cohort of 32 students. The college converted to full Year 7-12 in 2025.

Trinity Catholic College in Adamstown celebrated a milestone on Thursday with the graduation of its first Year 12 cohort. The 32 students finished their schooling.

The college had changed its name from St Pius X High School. The college expanded to offer all years from 7 to 12 starting in 2025.

Students attended an early breakfast barbecue before their graduation ceremony and an all-school clap out. Dux Joshua Mather said the group felt they were making history.

Student Isabel Hingston said she would miss the close connections she had built with teachers and classmates over six years. Her favourite memory was receiving letters from parents congratulating the year group on finishing school.
