Years 7-10 is a time of change and growth. We support students as they transition through Junior Secondary, consolidating and building on the foundations of their learning in preparation for future possibilities and Senior Secondary.
Students in Years 7-10 have the opportunity to experience and choose from a variety of subjects*:
English
Our focus in Year 7 is to assist students in transitioning to the Secondary campus, providing stability and predictability in the core subjects. Throughout the year, they are also given a strategic taste of a range of elective subjects.
The Year 9 and 10 program allows for continued development within key learning areas, building a strong academic foundation for senior studies. It is during these years that the faculty-based elective program allows students to explore specialty areas and begin their pursuit of individual interests through elective subjects. Year 10 focuses on preparation for Years 11-12 by emphasising independence, and consolidating knowledge and thinking around career choices.
Our dedicated BAC Career Resources and Advice site can help you find fields of study that may fit your emerging interests, and to select subjects according to those interests, and our Careers Guidance Officer is always available to support students through the subject decision-making process.
The program for every student from Year 7 to 12 includes the annual class camp. However, Junior Secondary includes additional programs targeted to the specific needs of preteens and adolescents at each stage in their development.
Our parallel programs are designed to enhance the growth of the whole person and the development of character.
Bi-weekly BAC Hub sessions provide additional support by assisting students with homework and assignments, research, study management, and exam preparation. For students requiring additional support, the learning support teacher and teacher aide collaborate with classroom teachers, parents and students to ensure equal access to learning for students assessed with disabilities and complex learning needs.
