Curriculum
Trinity offers both the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and International Baccalaureate (IB) program for Year 11 and 12 students. Boys in the HSC and IB, while able to interact with each other through the House/Pastoral and Sport/Curriculum systems, are taught separately, due to the differing nature of the two curriculums. In 2007, the Primary Years Program (PYP) was launched as an initiative to prepare both Junior School and Preparatory School students for the IB. The School is currently in the second phase of accreditation as a PYP school. Despite its relative success, however, the Middle Years Program (MYP) has not been introduced into the Middle School. Both the PYP and the MYP are specifically designed for an introduction into the IB, and, due to the popularity of the IB among students, there is a chance that the MYP will be brought into the Middle School in years to come, although the School has neither confirmed nor denied this.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
