Secondary Curriculum Years 7-10
The Year 7-10 program is designed to meet the development needs of students in early adolescence. This special phase represents an important stage in the growth and development of students as they face a range of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional challenges. Our broad curriculum options enable students to tailor their learning each semester.
Students are engaged and challenged in the learning through pedagogy that promotes students:
- thinking about broader issues beyond home and community
- engaging with diverse cultures and technologies
- handling of new media and multi-modal forms of communicating
- thinking abstractly about important ideas
- engaging in authentic learning
- seeking meaning in their lives at school and beyond
- questioning individual identity and beliefs – their place in the world
Secondary students are guided and encouraged to be independent learners who are curious and creative in their approach to problem solving. Our curriculum is complemented by a focus on the development of key 21st-century skills and fluid groups based on the needs of the individual student.
The Secondary Academic Program provides the opportunity to explore areas of study through the College Elective Program. Students select units covering a range of disciplines to study alongside the Core Curriculum. All subjects are developed in line with the Australian Curriculum.
