Years 7–8

Years 7 and 8 are a significant and exciting time in the lives of our young people.

We provide a comprehensive and supportive transition program to ensure students experience more excitement than nervousness as they move from primary school to secondary school. The Middle Years focus on settling in, building new friendships, and embracing new experiences that foster meaningful, hands-on learning.

All students in Years 7 and 8 undertake a core curriculum that includes English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, and Health and Physical Education. In addition, all students study Indonesian as their language.

Year 7

In Year 7, students explore a range of subjects designed to spark curiosity and help them discover new interests. These include Art, Drama, ICT (Computing), and Textiles.

To support relationship-building and a strong sense of belonging, all Year 7 students are encouraged to attend the Year 7 Camp in Term 1.

Year 8

In Year 8, students engage in the core subjects above, as well as Material Studies, Music, Art, and Food Studies.

To strengthen student voice and agency, Year 8 students are given the opportunity to attend a year level camp to Torquay. 

Digital Learning

All students at Maffra Secondary College have access to their own netbook device to enhance their ability to research, create, and produce high-quality digital work.
