Trinity Catholic College
About the Business
Welcome to Trinity Catholic College, an esteemed educational institution located at Dunedin, Rattray Street, 340 in New Zealand. As a Catholic school, we are dedicated to nurturing the spiritual growth of our students through our special Catholic character. We strive to provide a holistic education that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on instilling strong values and morals.
At Trinity Catholic College, we believe in keeping our students, parents, and community members informed and engaged. Therefore, we regularly update our website with the latest news and events happening within our school. We understand the importance of staying connected and ensuring that everyone is well-informed about the various activities and achievements of our students.
Recently, we had the privilege of hosting John Parsons, a renowned cybersafety expert and child protection consultant, who conducted an informative session for all our students. It is crucial for us to equip our students with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely.
We also take pride in offering unique opportunities for our students to engage in outdoor adventures and experiential learning. For instance, our Year 13 PE class recently embarked on a thrilling 3-day cross country skiing adventure at the Cardrona Snow Farm. Such experiences not only promote physical fitness but also foster teamwork, resilience, and a love for the outdoors.
In addition to our academic pursuits, we actively participate in community events and initiatives. Our Matariki Market and Showcase received recognition in the Education Gazette, and we encourage you to click on the link below to read the article. We also prioritize environmental education and recently, four students from each Enviro school in Otago had the opportunity to attend an Enviro-Hui, an educational meeting aimed at promoting environmental stewardship.
As we embrace the changing seasons, with spring just around the corner, Trinity Catholic College is buzzing with excitement. Our students are looking forward to longer days, evening walks, and tending to the winter garden. We believe in creating a nurturing and vibrant environment that encourages personal growth and fosters a sense of community.
Music plays an integral role in our school, and we take pride in our students' musical talents. We actively participate in a competition that celebrates the musical achievements of Catholic schools across New Zealand. This platform allows our students to showcase their skills and passion for music.
Sports also hold a special place in our institution, and we are proud of our Adaptive Sports Crew who represented Trinity Catholic College in the Otago Sports Special Olympics Football Tournament. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the students who have been selected to represent the U17 NZ Indoor Handball team at the IHF Oceania tournament in New Caledonia.
Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome John Parsons, a prominent Cybersafety Education Presenter, who will be working with our Catholic schools in Dunedin. His expertise and insights will further enhance our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students in the digital realm.
At Trinity Catholic College, we strive to provide a nurturing and inclusive learning environment that empowers our students to reach their full potential. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our institution, our values, and the opportunities we offer.

Reviews
"Jeremy Meikle probably one of the guys at the school."
"While Trinity is good, and most of the Teachers are lovely, approachable people, who are great at imparting knowledge and are passionate for their jobs, and the education standard is great for most subjects (including Science and Religous education), the school has a lot of problems that prevent me from wholeheartedly recommending this school to fellow students or prospective parents. Most notably, are 3 big problems. First, the student body, while not very violent, often has a culture of verbal abuse and cyberbullying that the school has yet to properly address. Secondly, a lot of the changes following the School's rebrand in 2023 are lazy, largely superficial, and often are blatantly worse than before, with the school song, haka, and prayer being barely changed with clunky new additions, the new houses being terribly led by the senior leadership team, and the school spending most of their budget on making the office and the staff room nicer, and ignoring the rest of the entire school, despite many areas such as toilet blocks being in disrepair. Thirdly, and worst of all, the school administration (especially the current principal) is extremely both incompetent and Callous, with their only goal being seemingly to make the school look good in the eyes of the public and nothing else, often making very questionable choices in the name of the School's squeaky clean public image, which is frankly disgusting. On top of all of this, Student feedback is hard to access and is very ineffective. While I enjoy much of the time I have spent at Trinity Catholic College, and there are certainly much worse high schools to send your children to in the Dunedin and Taeri area, I cannot in good conscience fully give a positive recommendation of this school. 3/5 Would be great but disappointing."
"kavangh was alright when I was there the first year the teachers were nice and i made good friends but my second year there i started gaining attention and got heavily bullied online for things I didn't do and I still feel unsaved at my new school because they said I was going to get jumped. kavangh has a horrible bullying problem (manly online) but it doesn't get talked about because students don't speak up about it"
"year 7s selling vapes to year 10s is pretty wacky, don't attend if above poverty line"
"I went here over 30 Years ago. And was to brief a stay (Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to leave not my Choice).but in the time I was accepted for the geeky and Nerdy guy I am. I wounder those kids are now and what might have been if could have stayed the teachers at the time and who had tremendously respect for were starting to help me a student who struggled Academically and they always did their best. P.S I have reconnected with some of them"
