Curriculum

Middle School programmes, comprised of a wide range of class, school and community focused activities and experiences, specifically cater for the needs of girls from Year 7 to 10. These years are very important for future success as during that time, girls build those skills and competencies necessary for them to become independent learners.

We are currently implementing the International Baccalaureate Middle Years' Programme (MYP).

The curriculum supports students in their transition from dependent to independent learning. Click on the link to download the 2010 Middle School Handbook. Particular features are:

• An integrated approach
• Specialist teachers
• ICT
• Mathematics
• Performing Arts Programme
• Many individual and team exchanges within and beyond NZ
• Subject support and extension
• Second language(s) for all Year 7, 8 and 9 students
• EOTC opportunities

We provide:

• Boundaries yet space
• Leadership opportunities
• Connections between subjects, school and the outside world.

We promote active citizenship through community and service programmes. We integrate research with follow up practical work.

Small classes, dedicated teachers and the learner-centred approach support students in their development as independent, confident young women who have a love of learning.
