Senior School » Curriculum


The Senior School encompasses Years Ten, Eleven and Twelve and involves a program of study that is more focused and specialised than that offered in the Middle School. Students are required to take significant responsibility for their studies as they develop into independent learners, capable of making informed decisions about their post school pathways.

Year Ten
Year Ten is the commencement of the senior years of schooling and is very much a year of transition for students as they move from Middle School toward the external accountability and rigour of Years Eleven and Twelve.
