Students
Trinity Bay State High School's International Program offers a rich, multifaceted learning opportunity for students from abroad.

This provides the opportunity to learn and mature in a unique socio-cultural setting. The friendships forged assist in the study of new language and in long lasting contacts between participants and local students.
International students are included in all aspects of school life and meet regularly together as a cohesive group. Outings are arranged regularly, ESL support provided and a Teacher Mentor and Peer Support Program all contribute to the successful integration of international students into the school community.
At Trinity Bay all students are welcomed and supported. We are proud of our diverse multi-cultural population. Trinity Bay ethic promotes honesty, integrity, self worth and commitment.
