We see Middle School as an opportunity for your child to discover their potential, build lasting confidence and grow into the best version of themselves. 

Within these pivotal years, we create a supportive space where students can explore what excites them, embrace new challenges and grow academically and personally.  

Our team ensures your child feels seen, heard, valued and empowered on their Middle School journey. Engaging and diverse academic and co-curricular opportunities, strong support networks and a clear focus on nurturing learning and real-world skills, set our Middle School students up for success – for Senior School and for life. 

Together with our families, we cultivate well-rounded young people who are equipped with the adaptability and resilience to thrive in our rapidly changing world.

In the Middle Years, our students have passionate and experienced teachers, including specialist teachers, who understand the specific needs of this age group. Middle Years students benefit from modern, open and well-appointed learning spaces with the most up to date equipment to enhance their learning.

Our Middle Years students are guided to be mature, curious and independent in their learning and aspirational in their endeavours. Our students are supported to understand the importance of intrinsic motivation, self-discipline and resilience. They learn to value not only their own efforts, but those of their peers. A strong sense of teamwork exists across each year level and class, reflecting our values and building each student up to reach their personal best.  

The approach in the Middle Years includes:

• Students as active participants in their learning
• Learning that is experiential, collaborative and allows for deep inquiry
• Learning that has a real-life purpose and develops character
• Fostering respect for every student where everyone feels seen, heard and valued 
• Tailoring learning to meet individual learning needs so all students can thrive
• A broad mix of subjects plus exciting and diverse co-curricular activities
• Inspiring and challenging curriculum content that helps students think critically and creatively, stay globally aware and solve real-world problems
• Contemporary learning practices based on solid research that ensure students are learning the most effective way possible
• A focus on literacy and numeracy as essential skills that give students a strong foundation for the future
• A focus on the whole child – on their academic progress and on their heart, teaching values like Courage, Authenticity, Respect, Empathy as well as a global mindset and service-minded approach
• Incorporating the latest technology to make lessons engaging and relevant.

In the Middle Years, we set our students up for learning in the Senior Years and beyond, empowering them with the adaptability and capabilities they need for lifelong learning and fulfillment.
