The Secondary School (Middle Years Programme)
Secondary Years ( 6-10)
Our Secondary Years students continue to follow the Australian Curriculum Standards, taught through the IB Middle Years Programme methodologies, providing both academic rigour and a focus on skill development.
Preparation For Further Studies
The MYP is flexible enough to accommodate most national or local curriculum requirements.
It builds upon the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and prepares students to meet future academic challenges, including the IB Diploma Programme (DP) and the IB Career-related Programme (CP).
