Trinity Catholic College graduates first Year 12 class of 32
Trinity Catholic College in Adamstown graduated its first Year 12 class of 32 students.
Trinity Catholic College marked a milestone on Wednesday when 32 students graduated as the school's first Year 12 class. The college, renamed from St Pius X in 2023, began offering senior years in 2022.
Many students moved to other schools to finish high school. Some stayed with familiar teachers.
Delaney Tallon is heading to university to study nursing in the Hunter. Fellow graduate Isabel Hingston said the small class helped her.
Closer teaching during HSC study meant the group bonded fast. Mackenzie Pitfield was a pioneer in another way.
She took the college's first new PE course focused on health science and biomechanics. She won early entry to study nutrition and dietetics next year.
