A Good Samaritan School For Girls

Compassion Prayer Respect

curriculum

A decision was made to reduce the number of subjects undertaken by Year 8 girls, new to secondary school. We have offered some elective subjects for one semester rather than for a whole year so students can experience the different curriculum offerings of the College.

This lessens the workload for Year 8 girls while still offering them relevant subject experience. The Middle Years initiative "Minds, Our Business," which aims to encourage practise in higher order thinking skills, continues to gain momentum. Much attention is given to Middle Years pedagogy.

Students may be offered the opportunity by the Learning Enrichment Centre to participate in literacy and / or numeracy enrichment classes following testing by the College in Term I.
