Years 7 – 8

Northholm students continuing their learning journey from Primary Years bring established routines, long term relationships with peers and staff and core capabilities into Secondary Years.

We recognise that young people are happiest when their learning environment is relevant and enriching, when they are challenged by a variety of appropriate learning experiences and when they are encouraged to be responsible and accountable for their learning.

Year 7

Our Year 7 Program bridges the conventional divide between Primary and Secondary by responding to the developmental needs of young adolescents.

All subjects are taught by highly qualified specialist teachers. Subjects include English, History, Science, Geography, Mathematics, PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education), Creative and Performing Arts (Visual Arts, Music and Drama), Technology which includes Coding, Agriculture Technology, Design and Technology and Food Technology and Faith and Life.

Year 8

Year 8 students continue the same academic program as Year 7 with the addition of French. Classes are undertaken with specialised teachers in English, Mathematics, Science, Geography and History in fit-for-purpose classrooms. The Year 8 Leadership Program, Year 8 Captains and House Captains take responsibility for a range of activities and events including representing the school in community service initiatives.

Beyond the Classroom

From Year 7 onwards, students are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their learning, supported by our caring staff. Year 7 and Year 8 students undertake outdoor education in the form of camps to challenge them, build self-esteem and foster cooperation and teamwork.
