Middle School

Middle School consists of Years 9 and 10. It varies considerably from most other schools as it is built around an extensive elective program to ensure all students capitalise on their strengths and interests. Year 10 students are strongly encouraged to undertake a VCE subject.

Year 9 students take part in Health Week which focuses on their own health and well-being. At the same time, Year 10 students participate in Work Experience. These programs, amongst many others, assist in developing young people who are both knowledgeable and active in designing their own futures in the 21st Century.
