From Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne, Aurelia Luvina Chow is embracing studying drama as a core subject, which she hadn’t expected.

English for Academic Purposes has also stood out to Aurelia, as she plans to major in psychology, and it has helped her develop research and essay-writing skills.

We’re excited to celebrate the achievement of Neeson Cripps Academy in Phnom Penh - the flagship secondary school of the Cambodian Children's Fund and a valued partner of Trinity College - on being named the world’s best STEM school 👏

Neeson Cripps Academy was awarded first place in the STEM category of the inaugural Global Schools Prize, selected from nearly 3,000 nominations across 113 countries, at the Education World Forum in London.

We were delighted to have two Neeson Cripps Academy alumni, Sreynoiy Nhev and Rita Em, join our Pathways School in the January Comprehensive intake this year, with aspirations to continue into Science degrees at The University of Melbourne.

On behalf of Sreynoiy, Rita, and the wider Trinity community, congratulations to Neeson Cripps Academy and the Cambodian Children’s Fund on this well-deserved recognition!

The second session of Cook It Club ran last Friday🍴

The recipe of the night was Chicken Palak (Hindi for spinach) and Tah-dig (Persian for crispy rice). A simple dish with only five ingredients - perfect for our students during mid-year exams.

We cooked together, ate together, and had a great time. Can't wait for the next one!

Today, 26 May 2026, marks National Sorry Day. It is a time to acknowledge the enduring impact of past injustices on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and reflect on how we can each contribute to a more just and respectful future.

On this day in 1997, the landmark Bringing Them Home report was tabled in federal parliament. Nearly three decades on, it is sobering that only a small number of its recommendations have been implemented.

This day also marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week, a time to reflect on our shared histories and consider how we can advance reconciliation in practical and lasting ways.

There is still much work to be done. Trinity College is committed to being an agent for change. We are All In – today, throughout National Reconciliation Week, and every day – in our support for continued progress.
