The college offers multiple pathways to students in their higher years, with multiple information nights per year for their future. Tranby College partners with multiple universities and TAFE campuses, especially Curtin University, where they offer UniReady and UniDirect courses for an easier application. As growing teenagers, they have access to multiple support sources, including their mentor teacher, college student leadership and professionals including an on-campus psychologist, defence mentor for defence families, college chaplain and supportive College leadership/executive.
