About the school: 

Trinity High School is a six year Roman Catholic Comprehensive School. Our school is at the heart of the Rutherglen/ Cambuslang community. We value our strong relationships with parents & carers, our wider community including our associated primary schools.

The values of the school are strongly influenced by the Gospel values of Faith, Hope, and Charity. The prayer and sacramental life of our school is central to who we are and to how we grow as a community.  It is why the links we have with our parishes are so important to us. In our homes, in our parishes and in our school we learn how it feels to be treated with love, with compassion and with mercy; we learn about the importance of acting with justice and integrity; we experience understanding, kindness and gentleness. 

The main purpose of our school curriculum is to enable each of our young people to become a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor to enable them to reach their full potential. The staff of Trinity High School are committed to do the best they can to ensure that our young people are nurtured, valued, included, supported, happy and have the best education and life chances to become the leaders of the future.
