Why Middle School?
The right environment at the right time.
Years 7–9 are important years of growth and discovery. Calrossy’s Middle School is deliberately designed for this stage, combining single-sex learning with strong academic foundations, personalised support and diverse opportunities to help students grow in confidence, explore their interests and discover what they can do.
Girls and boys learn in separate classes on our William Cowper Campus, creating environments where students are encouraged to participate, ask questions, challenge themselves and develop confidence without the pressures and expectations that can accompany early adolescence.
Discover something new.
Middle School is also a time to explore beyond traditional subjects.
Through sport, Agriculture, Music, Equestrian, debating, academic challenges, leadership and a wide range of co-curricular experiences, students can try new things and discover where their interests might take them.
Our XP Program extends this even further, giving Years 7–9 students opportunities to choose experiences, connect with students beyond their usual classes and explore interests and skills in new ways.
Supported by dedicated teachers, Year Advisors, Wellbeing staff and School Psychologists, students are known and encouraged throughout these important years — building the confidence, independence and foundations to step successfully into Senior School.
Strong foundations. More to explore.
In Years 7 and 8, there is a strong emphasis on the core disciplines, including literacy and numeracy, while students explore learning across areas such as Creative and Performing Arts, Technology and Agriculture.
By Year 9, students begin to shape their learning through elective choices that reflect their developing strengths and interests, alongside the core curriculum.
Across the Middle years, learning develops critical and independent thinking, creativity and practical skills, with every student provided with a personal laptop from Year 7 to support learning across the curriculum.
