Welcome to Middle School.

• Smaller classes (In 2009 our average class size in Year 8 is 24 students in their form class).
• A smooth transition from Primary school to High school.
• Students having less teachers (In 2009, Year 8 students have between 4 or 5 different teachers).
• Building strong relationships (teacher-student, student-student and teacher-parent).
• The “Big Brother / Big Sister Program” in the Middle School.
• A challenging curriculum of Humanities - English & Social Sciences (HUMS) and Applications in Maths and Science (AIMS).
• A strong pastoral care program that not only operates as a subject on its own, but is woven throughout the middle school curriculum.
• A strong focus on literacy and numeracy
• An organised and effective homework program.
• A wide range of extra-curricula activities.

HUMS and AIMS teachers have the time to explore and enrich the learning activities that interest their classes. Class teachers gain a deep understanding of the characteristics of each of the students in their classes. Extension professional development has been afforded to each Middle School teacher in the areas of student learning.
