Trinity Catholic College (known as Kavanagh College before 2023) is a Catholic, state-integrated, co-educational, secondary school located in central Dunedin, New Zealand. The school was founded in 1989 as the successor of several other secondary (and one primary) schools the oldest of which was founded in 1871. Trinity is the only Catholic secondary school in Dunedin and is open to enrolments from throughout the entire city. The school's proprietor is the Catholic Bishop of Dunedin.
The name Trinity Catholic College affirms the Christian belief in the Holy Trinity "which is God revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, a community of love" and affirms "the Christian values and faith in God that are at the heart of the school’s mission.”[4]
