On Friday, 19 November 2021, the Year 12 students of Trinity Bay State High School will celebrate their final day of schooling. In the lead up to this very special occasion, the school will hold three official functions during the final week of school.
- Farewell Assembly: 1:50-3:00pm, Thursday, 18 November @ TBSHS Sports Complex. The Farewell Assembly is an opportunity for the school to say its last goodbye to the Year 12 group, and for the senior students to give a last round of thanks to those that have helped them along the way. The Principal will address the group on what will be their last day on the school grounds and the School Captains will speak on behalf of the cohort. The students will sing the Senior Song and say goodbye. This is a school-only event so parents, carers, families and friends do not attend.
- Graduation Ceremony: 9:00-11:00am, Friday, 19 November @ TBSHS Sports Complex
- The second function is the Year 12 Graduation Ceremony. Attendance for all Year 12 students is compulsory. This formal ceremony marks the completion of school duties for all students, during which they will be presented with their Graduation certificates. Parents, carers, families and friends are invited to attend the event, however prior registration will be required and COVID restrictions may apply. There will be a limit of two guests per student.
- Graduation Dinner: 7:00-11:00pm, Friday, 19 November @ Cairns Convention Centre
