Secondary

At Caroline Chisholm School we have a Middle Years and Senior Years model.
Middle Years at Caroline Chisholm School (CCS) is characterised by pedagogy (the art and science of teaching), philosophies and curriculum that are based on experiential learning. Years 7 and 8 work along side one another in a designated Middle School building. In practice Middle Schooling involves elements such as:

  • Success for every student
  • Small learning communities that provide students with sustained individual attention in a safe and healthy school environment
  • Emphasis on strong teacher-student and student-student relationships through small class groupings and extended pastoral care opportunities
  • Parental and community involvement in student learning
  • Integrated and disciplinary curricula that is negotiated, relevant and challenging.

The Senior Years program at Caroline Chisholm School caters for students in Years 9 and 10. The program provides a link between the Middle Years and further study or work.
The academic aspect of Senior Years deals largely with the Year 10 certification process. The results that students receive during this time go toward the completion of this certificate.
