Curriculum

The middle years are from Years 7-9 and provide the transition from primary years. While having their subjects delivered by a greater variety of teachers with more specialised knowledge, students still maintain a strong home group connection. Developing organisation and communication skills that increase independence is a priority.
The middle years have its own cluster of buildings to encourage student ownership and a sense of belonging. Students will remain in classrooms where possible while teachers will move to them. Specialist areas such as the Art Room, Design & Technology and the Home Economics Centre are available and students, when required, move to these specialised areas.
In Years 7-9 the approach to learning and teaching encompasses the following key aspects.

• Students spend a greater part of their learning with a smaller group of teachers, enhancing teacher/student relationships whilst exposing students to specialised curriculum knowledge in purpose-designed rooms
• Curriculum content relates to the real world – negotiated around student interests.

Years 7-9 students are taught seven areas of study with a range of full year subjects as well as rotation subjects which change at the end of each term.
