Course Details

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) caters for Middle School students with a unique curriculum framework designed for adolescents. It promotes research, self-management, collaboration and critical thinking skills. It also fosters interdisciplinary thinking through the study of meaningful and relevant topics.

The MYP is a student-centred curriculum that spans five years of learning concluding in Year 10 (the first year of our Senior School).

Leadership opportunities are further enabled, with students actively involved in Year 9 Middle School Leadership, the peer-elected Student Representative Council and extra-curricular leadership.

During this stage of rapid change and development, students feel connected to our Middle School community and actively embrace the life of the College. Middle School students enjoy a classroom where most of their core learning takes place, creating a stable environment for successful learning.

Our students enthusiastically participate in a range of cultural, musical and sporting activities through the co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes to drive their personal development outside of the classroom.

Senior School

Students in our Senior School continue to grow, drawing upon their values and educational experiences, as they start to focus on what's to come when they graduate.

There is an emphasis on learning, co-curricular choice and participation in community service. There is also an added focus on preparing students for their post-school academic, employment and spiritual endeavours.

Students in Year 10 complete their International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. Students in Years 11 and 12 may then study either the IB Diploma or the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).

Within both curriculum models, students choose subjects from the essential areas of learning – the Arts, English, languages, physical education, mathematics, science, studies of society and technology. Religious education and pastoral care programmes are provided through Home Group classes at each year level.
