Central to the Middle School curriculum is encouraging students to develop a love of learning while promoting student success at learning. At °ÄÁùͼ¿â, the concept of success is recognised in broad terms and in such a way as to build the academic strengths of each student.

The Middle School Curriculum Program spans eight semesters (two semesters per year) of study and extends from the beginning of Year 7 until the end of Year 10. Each semester, students experience a selection of units of study across several learning areas.
For each semester of study across Years 7 to 10, the typical student curriculum program involves the study of seven units of study. Most Years 7 to 10 units of study are one semester in length, except for Year 7 units of study in Technology and The Arts. Students complete a rotation of eight different units of study during the year.
Please note that a variation to a typical student workload is to be discussed with the Assistant Principal - Teaching and Learning.
