Secondary

Due to the fact that all our students from Kinder to Grade 10 are on the one site we are able to provide a smooth transition program for students moving from primary school to secondary school. A feature of our school is having a small group of teachers responsible for the teaching of core subjects.

All Grade 7 students study English, HASS (Humanities and Social Science), Mathematics, Science, German, Music, Art, Foods, Digital Technologies, Design Technologies and Health and Physical Education.

All Grade 8 students study English, HASS (Humanities and Social Science), Mathematics, Science, German, Art, Foods, Design Technologies and Health and Physical Education. Students in Grades 8 are provided with an opportunity to select Music or Digital Technologies before specialising in subjects of their choice in Grades 9 and 10.

All Grade 9 & 10 students study English, HASS (Humanities and Social Science), Mathematics, Science and Health and Physical Education.

Option subject choices in Grades 9 and 10 include; Visual Arts, Music, Media, Creative Writing, Foods, Outdoor Education, Design Technologies, Maths Methods 3, Sport and Recreation, Photography, Automotive Studies, Relic Retrieval and Archaeology, Sports Science and Fitness, Textile Design and Technology, Ceramics and Recreation and Wellbeing.
