Curriculum

Through a range of testing including NAPLAN, ACER PAT, and various onsite testing, Year 7 students are appropriately streamlined and given targeted extension and support. Individual student performance is regularly reviewed by Care Teams, Teachers, Heads of Departments and Parent feedback to ensure students are placed in the most suitable stream to receive the required support to reach their potential.

An aspirant University stream is identified and supported to develop students’ aspiration for tertiary education. Mentoring by staff and external partners allow each student to shine their brightest.

Year 7 students who require additional support are streamed to provide an approach to improving literacy and numeracy which is targeted. This prevents any student from falling through the cracks and provides the learning tools necessary for students to achieve their best.

A heavy focus on functional Course Counselling in conjunction with ongoing monitoring and review of student performance provides our students with a map to accomplish their career goals by recommending the appropriate study pathway in Senior School. Lower school streaming and continued support from staff and partnership organisations prepares students for successful learning in one of three identified pathways;

ATAR Pathway

Leading to: University or TAFE
Core Curriculum selection: 4 or more ATAR subjects.
