Middle School Program

Within the Middle School we aim to nurture in our students a passion for learning and an uncompromising desire to live according to God's Word.

The Middle School CORE structure allows for students to have consistency with teachers. Students will have the same teacher for AM and PM homeroom, as well for Mathematics, English, Humanities, Social Science and Bible.

This allows teachers to help understand the overall development of each child, in partnership with parents.

For specialists and elective subjects, students will have alternative teachers.

Our program is made up of the key learning areas and incorporates Electives, Specialist subjects and Bible classes.

This includes unit courses such as:

• English
• Maths
• Science (Environmental Science)
• Humanities and Social Sciences
• Perspective Elective - Disability Awareness
• The Arts (Music, Drama)
• Technologies (Digital, Ag Hort, Design, Food, Robotics)
• Health and Physical Education (Orienteering, Sport)
• Language (Vietnamese, Afrikaans, Hebrew, Indonesian, Japanese, Spanish, French, Italian, Tagalog, Auslan and German)
• Bible

Community/Missions

Some of our programs include:

• Students supporting the annual Senior School mission trip to our sister school in the Philippines, Covenant Christian Academy
• Students being involved in a 50c campaign. This allows our Middle School students to sponsor students to go to school at Covenant Christian Academy.
• Students participating in the 40 Hour Famine and other programs around the Geelong region.
