​Our Goals

  • Facilitate a smooth transition for Year 7 students from primary school to high school.
  • Monitor academic progress to ensure students are on track to success.
  • Support students' well-being throughout their junior secondary years.
  • Collaborate with primary schools to maintain continuity of learning and social development.

Supporting the Transition from Primary to High School

We recognize that the move from primary school to high school can be both exciting and challenging. Our department works closely with local primary schools to ensure a smooth and successful transition for Year 7 students. Through collaborative efforts, we help students feel welcomed, prepared, and confident as they begin their junior secondary journey.

Tracking Student Progress

We believe in monitoring and supporting students' academic development every step of the way. Our team tracks student progress across all subjects and works alongside teachers to identify any areas where additional support may be needed. Students are encouraged to own their learning and set personal goals each term through our J-STAR tracking and processes.  This ensures that students remain on track to reach their full potential and that any challenges are addressed early on.

Ensuring Student Well-being

We understand that junior secondary school is a time of significant growth and change. To help students settle in and feel supported, we offer a range of transition programs and guidance for students coming into and leaving Junior Secondary. Whether it's academic challenges, social integration, or emotional support, our department is committed to ensuring every student feels valued and understood.

Through support and a focus on holistic development, we ensure that students not only succeed academically as they begin their journey on their secondary pathway of learning,  but also grow into confident, resilient young people ready to face the challenges of senior secondary and beyond.

Leadership

We place a strong emphasis on developing leadership skills in our students. Junior Secondary school offers numerous opportunities for students to step up, take on leadership roles, and challenge themselves. Whether through student council and leadership roles, peer mentoring programs, or extracurricular activities, we encourage students to extend their abilities, build confidence, and develop a sense of responsibility. These experiences are crucial in helping students grow into confident leaders who are ready for future opportunities.​

At the Junior Secondary Department, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive, engaging, and challenging environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Allowing our students to become resilient, knowledgeable and globally connected individuals.
