Years 6 - 9 King’s Middle School has been specifically designed to cater for the needs of adolescent children. It allows students to gradually learn the skills and knowledge required to successfully meet the rigorous demands of Senior Schooling and life beyond school, in a warm, caring and engaging environment.

Young people are introduced to the King’s Middle School while they are still in Year 5 by means of a thorough transitional process. This process is designed to seamlessly bridge the gap from Junior School (Primary) to Middle School for both students already at King’s and the significant number of young people entering the King’s learning community at this key entry point.

After experiencing King’s Year 6 Transition Day, your child will develop a close relationship with their Home Group Teacher with whom they will spend the majority of their time. Further, we have both male and female Pastoral Care Co-ordinators and Chaplains who support the Home Group Teachers and specific students requiring extra assistance in a variety of areas.

Unlike many other traditional Primary Schools, King’s Year 6 students have immediate access to specialist facilities and staff (in particular Science, Mathematics, Languages, Design and Technology Studies, Home Economics and Art). Specialisation and rigor is necessary at this time to ensure students remain actively engaged in learning throughout their adolescent years. Whilst at the same time as subject specific rigor is introduced, every attempt is made to assure students continue to see the interrelation between all learning areas. This is achieved through King’s unique authentic Middle School subject integration structure.

All King’s Middle School students actively participate in a Pastoral Care/Religious Education program (affectionately called ‘God Stuff’). Students and staff in the Middle School work together to prepare and present worship, biblical learning and practically based religious experiences as both small and larger groups.

An important part of the holistic approach to education in the Middle School is our Outdoor Education program. This program involves students at each Middle School year level attending an Outdoor Education experience (camp) where they progressively develop self confidence/reliance and the ability to work as part of a team.

Every year, Middle School students actively participate in a ‘Seminar Day’, where students work in single sex groups to address various aspects of gender identity in a society where this can often be confusing for adolescent age students. Male and female mentors from our school, church and parent community work with and build meaningful and ongoing relationships with students as a result of this program.

King’s Middle School believes in acknowledging and celebrating excellence in all forms. Recognition of excellence in all areas takes place via Assemblies, Distinction Evening, Graduation Ceremony and the school’s annual Celebration Evening. Additionally all Year 7 and 9 students are able to explore their leadership potential as they join with the school’s Year 12 Prefects in a portfolio-based whole school student leadership program.
