Middle school
Our Middle School Program is designed to support Year 7 students as they transition to high school by providing a structured, nurturing and consistent learning environment.
The program aims to build a strong sense of belonging, reduce anxiety and help students feel confident, safe and supported both academically and emotionally.
In Middle School we have reduced the number of teacher changes for Year 7s, creating consistent routines and maximising time in those crucial early years of high school for the development of strong relationships with their teachers and peers.
Why it works:
Strong Relationships
Connection before content, with a focus on trust, belonging and positive classroom culture.
Emotional Support
Our teachers are trained in Berry Street trauma-informed strategies to support emotional regulation and learning readiness.
Consistent Routines
Predictable structures across classrooms reduce stress and support success.
Holistic Development
We focus on both academic growth and social-emotional skills, embedding our school values of empathy, self-regulation, communication, collaboration and kindness in daily practice.
