The Junior Secondary Program (Years 7 – 9) sets the platform for quality performance and subject choice in the Senior Years. A careful balance of a quality academic program combined with the nurturing of student wellbeing and leadership lays a strong foundation of a mature young adult entering Senior School for years 10 -12.
The Junior Secondary Curriculum provides students the opportunity to solidify skills in key core areas whilst also being exposed to a wide range of Experience and Elective subjects.
