They transition into more independent children and learn to work more collaboratively with each other.

- House officials
- Performing Arts captain

Tranby prepares each student to be committed individuals in a range of active and service learning to build and increase confidence. 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.[7]
