Research has found a strong link between students' performance in Year 9 and their results in the HSC. It makes sense that students who are doing well at the junior secondary level will be full of confidence as learners, and will be developing good study habits. Many students of this age are unsure of the future direction of their study and career. It is important that they do well in as many subjects as possible at this level. This allows them to have a good range of subjects to choose from for Years 11 and 12.

Intermediate classes are for students working towards or working at their year level.
Advanced classes are for students working beyond their year level.

Junior Secondary Maths
This program covers all number operations, fractions, decimals and percentages, geometry, algebra and equations. Non-calculator maths makes up 25% of the School Certificate exam. Research has shown that the students who perform at the highest levels in the HSC mathematics courses are those with well-developed numeracy skills. We teach our students to use calculators only when appropriate.

Junior Secondary English
This program covers reading comprehension and written expression of a wide range of text types such as discussion, exposition, information report, media texts and poetry. Grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure are covered in depth. The good essay writing skills students develop are helpful across a range of subjects.

Junior Secondary Science
This program covers the core topics of each science course in an interactive manner that allows students to develop good understanding of material before they try to memorise it.
