Secondary School – Middle Years 7-9

The Middle Years, from Year 7 to Year 9, is unique in fostering skills, dispositions and independence of our students.

Ocean View College offers a dynamic Middle Years program that extends students’ academic skills while nurturing the dispositions needed for collaboration, problem-solving, and personal growth. Our program empowers students to become responsible, future-ready citizens. As they progress, students take greater ownership of their learning by selecting electives that complement and personalise their core curriculum.

Middle years development

Our Middle Years philosophy recognises adolescence as a pivotal time for intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. We foster a safe, supportive environment that values every student’s potential to learn, with a strong focus on emotional intelligence, restorative approaches and the guidance of dedicated mentors.

Encouraging lifelong learners

Middle Schooling at Ocean View College is built on flexible principles and a responsive curriculum, designed to engage students and cultivate positive attitudes toward learning. Our approach encourages lifelong learners by emphasising improved pedagogy, rich curriculum, mentoring, and effective school organisation.
