Learning in Years 7-9
Click here for the 2024 Junior Curriculum Handbook
Learning in Years 7-9 is centred upon fostering engagement and readying our learners for success. We view Years 7-9 as a time when learners are establishing and noticing their strengths and developing skills that will provide a strong foundation on which to build success in the future.
As a community of learners, we nurture and empower our students to be:
- self-regulated, resilient and metacognitive learners
- confident, collaborative and compassionate leaders
- innovative, curious and global-minded citizens.
Our curriculum aims to be robust, rich and future focussed. Across all subjects, we foreground First Nations perspectives and honour the contributions of First Nations people. Our programs encourage learners to consider how they can be socially just and agile in their innovation and entrepreneurial thinking.
