Secondary School 7-12

The focus of the Middle School at our college is to help students make a successful transition from the Primary years and then work towards preparing academically, socially and emotionally for the Senior Years of schooling.

We understand that these years can be particularly challenging for students and ensure that each student’s wellbeing is a priority.

Middle School teachers aim to stretch each student academically and challenge them to achieve their best possible results. This year, we are very fortunate to be able to run an open plan Year 7 class room environment which will allow for integrated studies and a variety of hands on activities to occur. All students in Year 8 have a ‘taste’ of a variety of elective subjects including Arts, Home Economics, Wood Work, ICT, Music, Drama and Japanese. These ‘tasters’ then enable the students to begin to choose their subject and possibly career pathways when they enter Year 9 and beyond. We are very excited to be running our first ever Surf Camp for our new Year 8 students and are planning ways to extend camps into other year levels.

Should parents have any inquiries about their child’s schooling, they are asked to first contact their child’s Home Care teacher who will endeavour to help out. Ms Liz Rankin is the Head of Middle School and is available to assist parents and students as needed.

We are looking forward to a very successful and exciting year in the Middle School. Please contact the school should you require any additional information about specific Middle School activities or programs.

The aim of the Senior School is to build upon the successful foundations in the Middle Years.  We are committed to providing all students in Years 10-12 with engaging, modern and flexible learning opportunities to enable learners to achieve the best possible outcomes for their future pathways. 

The Senior School is committed to developing strong personal relationships in a safe and supportive environment where the school, students and families work together towards positive student outcomes.

We aim to prepare our students with the skills, knowledge and capabilities required to successfully meet the demands required of 21^st Century Learners.  The Senior School curriculum is aligned to the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) for students in Years 11 and 12 and the Australian Curriculum for students in Year 10.

Year 10 students are introduced to the SACE by studying the compulsory Personal Learning Plan (PLP) in Year 10.  An outline of the SACE requirements can be seen in the pie chart on this page.

Many students at the school complete their SACE requirements with a Vocational Education Training (VET) component. Students are strongly encouraged to pursue a variety of post school pathways including University, TAFE, or employment.

Subject offerings available at each year level in the Senior School are located in the Curriculum Handbook section of this website.
