Trinity Intra-College Olympiads 2024
Olympiads in +2 and A Levels typically refer to academic competitions that aim to identify and nurture students' talents in various subjects, including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Economics & Business. The competitions are designed to challenge students beyond the regular curriculum and promote critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of these subjects.
Participating any of the five Intra-College Olympiads, we are conducting can be a most rewarding experience for student learners who have a passion for academics and seriously want to expand their knowledge & skills. They serve as platforms for identifying and nurturing the talent of the participating Trinitians in key subjects, apart from furthering their placements in College and Universities, here or abroad, post +2 or A Levels.
Successful candidates from our Intra-College Olympiads may later advance to take part in provincial, national, and even international competitions which are held from time to time. These Olympiads do play a crucial role in fostering academic excellence, encouraging intellectual curiosity, and promoting scholastic collaboration in the subject areas covered.
There will be Olympiads in the five following subjects:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Economics & Business
- Chemistry
- Biology
Objective: To foster intellectual growth and skill development and to promote critical thinking, academic engagement, and professional development among the Olympiad participants
