Graduation
Graduation at Trinity Academy Grammar is a two year programme that starts in year 7 and finishes at the end of year 8.
It is an opportunity for the school to recognise all of the hard work students do and showcase how they have met the school’s high expectations.
There are a number of criteria that students must meet across year 7 and then again in year 8 in order to graduate:
