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 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.
