TRINITY Grammar’s International Baccalaureate Diploma results are its best on record.

Eight Trinity students earned the perfect score of 45, equal to first in the world and a 99.95 ATAR.

Of those was Nicholas Pavic, who dreams of studying medicine.

He hopes to one day become a doctor specialising in oncology or trauma surgery.

A recent trip to India also inspired the 18-year-old to one day work for Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders) to improve health care in nations less developed.

Nicholas said he made the most of the opportunity to do the IB and said it “prompts students to choose English, mathematics, a science, a language and a humanities subject,” he said.

“This prevents students from simply specialising in a narrow subject area, allowing them to develop skills in a vast range of disciplines.”

Trinity Grammar student Nicholas Pavic is one of eight Trinity students who earned the perfect score of 45.

His two favourite subjects were sports science and chemistry.

But he credits his participation in co-curricular activities to helping him unwind during stressful times.

“There was nothing better than running a major cadet exercise or playing some cricket to relax,” he said.

“I typically set myself daily goals, which allowed me to achieve my weekly goals, termly goals and eventually the goals I set each year for myself.”

His advice to the next round of students is to “pick subjects that you are generally interested in, actively engage in class discussions and try to link whatever you are learning to real-world applications.”
