Middle School
Middle School (7-9)
Embark on the transformative journey of early adolescence with our dedicated middle school program, spanning Years 7 to 9.
We recognise the profound impact of these formative years on academic, personal, social, and spiritual development. Adolescents, navigating this phase, explore their identity and endeavour to establish their role within a community.
Our primary focus is cultivating a sense of belonging in the school community and fostering a clear identity in Christ, creating a safe and nurturing environment conducive to optimal learning.
Understanding the distinct needs of middle-year learners, our school is committed to providing an enriching environment that aligns with the cognitive and emotional development of students during this crucial period. We acknowledge that adolescents learn best through interactive and hands-on experiences, fostering curiosity and independence.
Our dedicated team of educators embraces innovative teaching methods to cater to diverse learning preferences, creating a stimulating atmosphere where critical thinking and creativity flourish.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage students in a well-rounded education, preparing them not only academically but also socially and emotionally for the exciting challenges that adolescence brings. To ensure a seamless transition into secondary education and shape students into contributing members of the school community, we implement various strategies, including dedicated transition days, an orientation week, and a commitment to minimal teacher transitions, providing stability and continuity for our middle-year learners.
Join us at Good Shepherd Christian School, where we guide students through this critical phase, equipping them for success in both their academic and personal journeys.
Work Experience Placement Program
Year 9-10 students have the opportunity to participate in a one-week Work Experience placement program.
Work Experience placement provides the student with the opportunity to test personal vocational preferences through performing tasks in a workplace. Students select placements according to their future occupational aspirations.
The student may experience the following outcomes: clarification of employment goals; and first-hand information about what it means to work, as well as about the work processes of the organisation and the work environment.
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”
— Psalm 32:8
