Student Work Attributes (SWA) & Attribute Point Average (APA)
The Trinity College Spirit Ambitions identify excellence as guiding our mission as a school community and call on us to “Inspire excellence amongst students to reach their full potential.” A true spirit of excellence involves a commitment to doing and giving our best despite adversity- developing grit, determination and resilience. Boys thrive when expectations are clear, consistent and challenging.
Student Work Attributes (SWA) identify those skills and personal habits that all students should seek to develop as they strive for their own personal excellence because they encompass the attitudes, behaviours, and skills that contribute to personal growth and success. These attributes and a descriptor of each level of achievement are found below and on the last page of the attached Student Report.

Year 12 Ball - Order Buttonholes/Corsages Early
A message from the Ball Committee
Year 12 families are strongly advised to order any floral buttonholes and/or corsages for the Year 12 Ball (Thursday 24 April) as early as possible, due to florists being under significant pressure with orders and floral arrangements for ANZAC Day (Friday 25 April).
Many families have heard from a number of florists that they are already inundated with orders, and that earlier is better when thinking about buttonholes and/or corsages.
The advice received from some contacts in the florist industry is that even if you do not know exactly what you require for the Year 12 Ball (flower, colour, etc), most florists have a 'first-come-first-served' list and will put your name down as a number in a line. Closer to the date, you can let them know what particular florals you are looking for.
SCSA Awards Ceremony
On Thursday, 13 February the SCSA (School Curriculum and Standards Authority) Awards Ceremony was held at Government House in the Ballroom. This was an opportunity for SCSA to recognise those students throughout the State that had scored the highest of marks in both ATAR and VET pathways.
There were 90 students in total invited including the winners of the Beazley Medal ATAR and Beazley Medal VET who were both presented with these prestigious West Australian Academic Awards. The majority of the other students invited had either received a General Exhibition (top 50 ATAR score in the State) or a Subject Exhibition (top student in the State for a particular subject).
Trinity College was delighted that Matthew Ryan (Dux of 2024) had been invited following on from his outstanding academic results. Matthew received a General Exhibition with his ATAR Score of 99.90 and also picked up a Subject Certificate of Excellence (top 0.5% of the subject) in both Chemistry and Maths Methods.
We congratulate Matthew on this outstanding achievement and wish him all the best for his very bright future!
