Students in Year 5 and Year 6 work on a fortnightly timetable and engage with their core teachers for much of their learning. In Science, HPE, The Arts, Technologies and Languages, students engage with specialist teachers, making full use of the resources and facilities of the College. Being the first years of middle years, the students work in a more structured timetable of learning and engage with a wider variety of teachers. (N.B All times are per fortnight).

* Humanities learning for one semester only, supplemented by elective choices
Elective Learning
Elective Courses are conducted for one semester. Students study four chosen courses per semester, with each course occurring four hours per fortnight. Given the developmental needs of students at this stage, they must not yet 'specialize' in one field, but select courses across diverse fields.
Students select from a minimum of four columns and it is compulsory to select History and at least one subject from Industry Trades, Humanities and The Arts.
