Years 7 & 8
Transition from primary school to secondary college is an exciting
and challenging part of any student's life. At Catholic Ladies' College
we offer an innovative curriculum which assists this shift. Interdisciplinary
studies aims to foster links in student learning, whilst maintaining
the integrity of individual subjects. Students belong to a Homeroom
and the Homeroom teacher teaches :
- English
- Religious Education
- History
- Geography
Students spend fourteen, 75 minute periods per ten day cycle in the
group as well as 15 minutes per day pastoral contact. This frequent
contact enhances the relationship between teacher and student. Problems
are more easily identified and managed and students are happy, secure
and quickly settled.
All Year 8 students participate in an integrated curriculum unit: City Experience. They also have
an opportunity to study the new subjects: Drama and Food, Systems
and Materials Technology.
