Furthermore, as an Academic Pillar we are determined to focus and implement two main goals:

Faith Pillar

At Trinity College, we see that mentoring is important, not only because of the knowledge and skills students can learn from their mentors, but also because mentoring provides personal support to facilitate success in school and beyond.
