Years 7 - 10
We believe that the curriculum is not only a means for students to learn about the world, but also a pathway for personal growth. We strive to create purposeful, energised, and challenging learning experiences that foster student engagement and success.
Engaging and Dynamic Curriculum
Our curriculum in Years 7-10 encompasses a range of activities that promote learning through explicit instruction, individual work, collaboration, problem-solving, project-based learning, reflection, and evaluation. It is anchored in the fundamental building blocks of literacy, numeracy, and information and communication technologies.
During Years 7-10 (Stage 4 and 5), our students transition from a broad educational experience to a more specialised curriculum that allows for subject selection based on their interests and aspirations. Within the mandatory subjects, there is a gradual shift from acquiring skills to developing critical and creative thinking at a deeper leve

-
English, Mathematics, and Science

Students can choose to study a subject for two years, and they have the flexibility to change electives at the end of Year 9. This allows them to explore various interests and tailor their educational experience accordingly.
