Year 7 Curriculum
Year 7 marks an important transition from the primary years of Junior School to the secondary years of Middle School.
Year 7 marks an important transition from the primary years of Junior School to the secondary years of Middle School. Students are supported through this change with a structure that maintains familiarity while gradually introducing greater independence. Students will continue to work closely with a core teacher while also experiencing an increase in specialist teachers, helping them adapt to a broader and more autonomous secondary school environment.
The curriculum is based on the Version 9 (V9) Australian Curriculum and focuses on building strong foundations in key learning areas. Students study a core program and have an elective. Year 7 is designed to support students in developing confidence, organisation, and effective learning habits as they adjust to new expectations.
Core Curriculum
• English
• Humanities
• Mathematics (*2 lessons of Extension Mathematics if recommended)
*Extension Mathematics is offered to students who have demonstrated a consistently high level of mathematical capacity. Selection is based on several factors, including Mathematics grades, PAT data, NAPLAN Numeracy data, teacher recommendation, a Learning Leader of Mathematics recommendation, as well as evidence of the readiness and maturity to learn at a level beyond what is typically expected for a Year 7 student. The final decision lies with the Director of Learning and Teaching.
