MIDDLE SCHOOL Middle School Brochure

Canterbury College’s National Award-winning Middle School supports and guides students in Years 7, 8 and 9 as they transition from childhood towards young adulthood. This is a period of rapid physical, emotional and intellectual development.

Our focus for our Middle School students is engagement. Students at this age want to learn about things that interest them, to take on the world around them, and they face challenges which seem quite significant at this stage in their life. Students are establishing their own identity and place in this rapidly changing world and are becoming confident learners engaged with their teachers and curriculum. We tailor our programs to optimise learning outcomes.

Our sports programs are crucial to engaging middle school students and the College supports students of all abilities, utilising our sporting ovals, gyms and facilities.
