授权与参与

Middle School emphasises holistic education, fostering students’ social and emotional growth. Our Years 7–9 curriculum is designed to engage students with real-world issues, using inquiry and problem-solving to create socially beneficial solutions. Educational experiences provide skills for life, a love of learning and a strong academic foundation. Students learn ‘how’ to learn not just ‘what’ to learn and make practical and authentic connections between their studies and the real world through guided inquiry.

我们中学的学习

Our academically rigorous Middle School curriculum delivers content specified by the Australian Curriculum underpinned by a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy. This program is crucial in shaping the skills, values, beliefs and character required to successfully navigate the transition to the VCE program in Senior School.

Learning Mentors

七、八年级的每个班级都有一名学习导师。这是与学生和学科教师合作的第二位合格教师，以确保学生能够进行最有效的学习。在整个学年中，学习导师将陪伴学生完成一系列学习任务。

艺术

在初中阶段，学生必须学习音乐、视觉艺术和表演艺术。他们通过创作、表演和展示等方式来培养技能，从而调动和传递情感、体验和思想。

设计

Students apply practical and creative thinking skills to solve design problems and consider their responsibilities when making design decisions and taking action. Students focus on product and digital design as well as sustainability while exploring the role of design in both historical and contemporary contexts.

个人与社团

鼓励学习者尊重和了解他们周围的世界，使他们掌握必要的技能，探究对不同社会和环境产生影响的当代地理、政治、社会、经济、宗教、技术和文化历史因素。

语言学习

所有学生在七至九年级都要学习一门必修语言--法语、汉语或德语。语言是发展批判性思维的核心，对于培养跨文化理解能力至关重要。语言也是探索个人发展和文化认同不可或缺的一部分。

语言与文学（英语）

使学生能够与一系列课文互动，深入了解道德、社会、经济、政治、文化和环境领域。学生在读、写、说、听、看和展示方面的技能得到发展。他们不断提高形成观点、做出决定和进行道德推理的能力。

数学

包括数、代数、几何、三角统计和概率。学生学习如何表示信息，以探索和模拟情况，并找到熟悉和陌生问题的解决方案。

体育与健康教育

让学生了解和认识体育锻炼的价值，培养他们选择健康生活的动机。体育与健康教育侧重于通过体育活动了解和学习。

科学

学生在探索化学、生物、物理和地球科学的过程中，鼓励他们通过研究、观察和实验，以独立和合作的方式探究问题。这培养了学生对研究和设计的批判性和创造性思维，以及对假设和替代解释的识别能力。

Year 9 Cafe Business Program

This two-week program immerses students in real-world business by running a commercial café at our Wheelers Hill and Caulfield campuses, creating menus, managing finances, practising food handling and hygiene skills, and serving the School community.

Student Leadership

We believe that all students can develop and demonstrate leadership, regardless of a formal title or badge. All leadership experiences cultivate essential life skills and play a pivotal role in role-modelling our School values and behaviours as well as shaping our School culture. Students can nominate for formal leadership roles as well as student-led committees in their areas of passion, such as Community Service, Sport, Music, Theatre, Debating and STEM, and informal leadership opportunities integrated within our day-to-day academic and extra-curricular programs.

服务学习

Throughout their time in Middle School, students are involved in numerous service and volunteer opportunities designed to foster responsibility, cultural awareness and compassion and encourage them to take action and contribute to their local community.
