In 2000,
our "Middle School" is made up of two classes of
Year 6 and two classes of Year 7 students. Teachers of these
classes meet regularly to plan and programme whole group
activities, while there are many smaller group and
individual programmes that occur class by class.
The year
begins with the whole Middle Schooling Orientation
Day, incorporating group activities through "Life Be In
It" games in the morning, and self development and goal
setting activities in the afternoon. This is followed by a
week long aquatics programme for all Years 6&7 students
at Port Noarlunga.
Throughout
the year, there will be many activities involving the older
students, encouraging them to display leadership,
collaboration and participation in school programmes.
This includes a focus on work education, transition to
high school and another exciting camping experience.
