Year 7 – 10
Year 7 and 8 Curriculum
Subjects taught during Year 7 and 8 are a combination of year-long and semester-long subjects. Our Year 7 Program aligns with the Victorian Curriculum, as well as the specific needs of our students, to develop core skills across a broad range of specialist study areas, with a particular emphasis on developing strong literacy and numeracy skills.
Working within flexible learning areas, lifelong learning skills, including a strong work ethic, organisation and a desire to achieve their full potential, are promoted and supported throughout the year. Furthermore, at Year 7, each student has a Form Group teacher who also teaches their class throughout the week, assisting to build a strong, reliable relationship between teacher and student. This enables teachers to take an active interest in each student’s wellbeing and to develop an understanding of how they learn so that we can support them in the best possible way.

Year 9 and 10 Middle Years Program
The Middle Years Curriculum is designed to allow students to select and create a study program from a wide range of subjects. Over two years, students are encouraged to ensure that they have undertaken courses from different areas of the curriculum so that, when it comes to VCE subject selection, they are in the best possible position to know their strengths and what interests them.
