Secondary Years

Years 7 to 12 are a time of transition for our students – from childhood to adolescence to young adults. It is a time of significant personal growth and reflection where students often challenge their own system of beliefs and ideals and set their direction for life. We recognise that students at this age have social, intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual needs and aspirations that are both unique to them and different from students in the Primary years.

Based on NESA syllabuses, we provide a stimulating differentiated curriculum to meet the full range of needs and abilities of students in each Stage of learning.

Stage 4

Students of this age are happiest and learn best when provided with learning experiences that are practical, relevant, and enriching.

Learning at Â鶹´«Ã½¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú

Our well-qualified and highly professional teaching team are highly specialised in their subjects of expertise and well-practiced at eliciting the best possible academic performance from each student. They work closely with each student to understand and connect with them as people and meet their learning needs. They then provide consistent high quality feedback that helps students to review their learning and refine their academic practices.

Our Building Purposeful Lives teaching and learning framework includes learning dispositions for students to develop that will serve them well at the College and throughout their lives, enabling them to be lifelong learners. Students are supported to make progress in these learning habits so that they focus on the process of learning. We learn in community so that students can work effectively with others towards common goals, seek to understand what others are saying and act responsibly with initiative and persevere in the face of difficulties. Students are not simply ‘passengers’ in the learning process but develop learning dispositions so that they become ‘pilots’ of their own learning.
