Year 8 students have settled into their secondary schooling as they have completed their first year in a new setting and are now ready for greater challenges and opportunities. They experience these challenges and opportunities through various class incursions and excursions, centred at learning, resilience and strengthening school connections. Year 8 Camp is focused on strengthening old friendships and creating new ones whilst being challenged in a new setting.
In Year 8 students study a core curriculum of English, Mathematics, Humanities, Science, Health & Physical Education and a Language of their choice or English as an Additional Language (EAL).
Students are given the opportunity to further broaden their interests and strengths by selecting electives from the Arts, Technology, Physical Education, English, Science and Humanities Domains. Students have the opportunity to work with Year 9 students during their electives. This structure helps build relationships and enables support and guidance within the college.
Accelerated learning programs and enhancement/intervention programs are available to all students.
