Students entering Year 7 at Hallett Cove School embark on their first year in their High School journey. Year 7 is comprised of students who have attended Junior School at Hallett Cove School, in addition to those who have transitioned from other Primary Schools. We offer a unique curriculum which enables students the opportunities to experiences a range of different subjects offerings, along with guidance for students to develop effective relationships with peers and teachers. 

YEAR 7 IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AT HALLETT COVE SCHOOL MEANS THAT: 

• Home Groups are based around the information shared from previous schools, Year 6 teachers, parents, and Junior School leaders at Hallett Cove School. 
• Each class has a dedicated Home Group classroom which they use for most of their subjects, including the Pastoral Care program. Students develop a class identity and ownership of their Home Group room. 
• The Home Groups stay together for English, Humanities, Mathematics and Science. Where possible, a small team of teachers with expertise in Middle Schooling work with each Home Group class for their core subjects. 
• All Middle School students have access to a chrome book device, current software and a wireless network. Middle School teachers focus on the use of technology developing curriculum which is challenging and relevant.
