Honour and enrich each young person

We build a buffer to the potential challenges of adolescence.

Welcome to Middle School

Our Middle School Model, embodies the essence of our educational philosophy. Designed with the unique needs of 10-14 year olds in mind, we liken this pivotal stage of development to that of a sapling鈥攙ulnerable yet bursting with potential. Recognising that peers often hold significant sway during this period, we cultivate a nurturing environment where our dedicated staff serve as steadfast pillars of support, guiding our students with consistency and care.

Middle School students not only foster a sense of identity but also actively engage in collaborative endeavours for the betterment of our broader community. Our curriculum is designed to seamlessly integrate humanities and science, intertwining physical and mental wellbeing, and emphasising community projects as vehicles for real-world learning experiences.

We place a strong emphasis on digital literacy, ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary skills to navigate today's technology-driven world. Creative opportunities are elevated through community projects, while authentic assessment methods provide meaningful feedback on student progress and enhance the partnership between home and school.

Additionally, we are proud to offer extension programs, providing enrichment opportunities for students to explore their interests and strengths beyond the traditional curriculum.

We are dedicated to nurturing not only academic excellence but also the holistic development of each and every student. Join us on this journey as we empower young minds, cultivate resilience, and shape the contributors of tomorrow.

Head of Middle School

Learning begins with wellbeing

As children mature, we remain focussed on wellbeing as the foundation of learning.

Our pastoral care model includes the House Structure, a buddy program, and access to counsellors, psychologists and a school chaplain.

There are also opportunities for student leadership and enrichment.

Learning at the Middle School

We view the Middle School years as a precious time when students need to be protected and nourished like saplings. During this time, they develop the foundational skills they need for future growth.
