Leading in Innovation and Academic Excellence in the Southern Vales Community.
The Middle School at Cardijn College aims to provide an exciting and dynamic experience of schooling for our students in Years 7, 8 and 9.
Middle schooling is an educational approach that better caters for the physical, social, emotional, moral and cognitive needs of young people. It bridges the divide between primary and secondary education by extending students in this middle phase, equipping them with the skills to become independent learners and successful citizens in this new and ever-changing world.
Cardijn College is committed to best-practice middle schooling through an approach to teaching and learning that is student-centred, authentic, collaborative, developmental and challenging. Programs in a range of subject and co-curricular areas focus on group dynamics, peer interaction and affirmation of achievement. Our students are encouraged to develop self-confidence through achieving success in significant events and to progressively develop a sense of who they are and of the personal, spiritual, and social values which will become part of their life.
The curriculum also offers students the opportunity to engage in other areas through an array of electives which can be explored through the curriculum guide.
Cardijn College is also proud to deliver a number of specialist programs in the Middle School. These are programs which build upon and extend the skills and attributes of many of our young people. They tap into your child’s talents, teach relevant skills, stretch traditional educational boundaries and help students reach their goals.
Cardijn College offers specialist programs (Year 8 onwards) in the areas of:
Our teachers play a critical role in each student’s success. They stimulate and challenge students to think beyond the next question and encourage them to take charge of the quality of their learning.
The College approach is to allow students in Middle School the room to grow towards independence and to accomplish their developmental tasks in a caring, purposeful and challenging environment within well understood limits. We work together to give them the confidence and self-worth to effectively tackle the challenges of the more exclusively academic orientation of the senior curriculum.
