Middle School
The Middle School comprises Years 7, 8 and 9. Great changes occur in a person’s life during these years and a dedicated Middle School provides a bridge from the primary school environment to the self-directed senior school environment.
Academic Program
Years 7 and 8 comprise a single two-year academic program. In addition to core subjects that are studied over the two years, students will also study a different ‘specialist’ subject each term. After two years of study, students will cover all of these subjects and will be able to choose those they wish to study in more detail in Year 9.
Curriculum
King's middle school students follow the Australian Curriculum, under the direction of the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).
