Year 7
The transition into Year 7 is an important time for all students. They have
an inquisitive nature, boundless energy, and an enthusiasm for learning. Accordingly,
students at Ballarat Grammar are exposed to a curriculum that is engaging, practically-oriented
and diverse. This gives students the opportunity to broaden their outlook on
the world as they begin to see some of the different ways we can understand
and experience the world. It also assists in the development of more independence
in learning, a particular focus of the Year 9 program.
Students in Year 7 participate in learning experiences in the following:
Extra English is available for students who require it. Enrichment and extension is available within class programs. For students needing particular enrichment or extension, the Ad Astra (“To the stars”) program offers a diverse and challenging range of options.
Year 7 also participate in the Outdoor Education program as part of the compulsory curriculum.
Year 8
As students move into Year 8, their learning needs change, and so does the
curriculum to reflect these changes. Students are wanting to explore even more
ideas and experiences that interest them, so a greater level of choice is offered
to students through the introduction of Elective subjects.
Students in Year 8 participate in core learning experiences in the following:
