Year 11 - 13 Overview

In Years 11-13, Trinity students typically undertake six subjects in each year level. 

All students participate in our compulsory Religious Education programme. This programme is both an integral and active part of our daily lives and behaviours, and within the curriculum course of study. 

No exemption is given for Religious Education in the senior years. 

There is extensive advice to assist with course planning for students of all abilities and this can be found by exploring the NCEA links in the Curriculum area of the website as well as a section dedicated to choosing a subject.

A more detailed overview of the options currently on offer at each level along with more detailed instructions can be found here (note that course entry is done online. This is just a hard copy for you to refer to).
