Head of Middle School
WELCOME MESSAGE
The Middle School (the start of Senior School for Years 7 to 9, ages 11 to 14) program prioritizes student well-being, ensuring that each child feels safe, supported, and valued throughout their educational journey. We introduce the core values of Community, Curiosity, and Confidence which are integrated into every aspect of our school life, creating a positive and inclusive setting that nurtures well-rounded, resilient individuals.
With an innovative pastoral care system, we foster a deep sense of belonging within our students, enabling them to flourish and confidently embrace new challenges. Our broad and balanced curriculum, enriched by service opportunities and an outstanding co-curricular program, offers a diverse range of subjects, which teaches students to learn how to learn and inspires them to explore their interests and develop their unique talents.
Additionally, our exciting overseas residential trips in Year 7 and Year 8 culminate in an extended stay for Year 9 students at Tanglin Gippsland, Australia —an unforgettable outdoor learning experience that enhances the independence, leadership and social skills they need as they move onwards to Upper School.
