Secondary Curriculum
We have high expectations of our students' attitude to their education; our approach fosters a willingness to learn and opportunities to succeed.
The Secondary School curriculum aims to provide a stimulating, practical academic program tailored to make the learning experience relevant, challenging, and interesting. It is delivered in smaller learning communities providing for individual attention and connecting classroom learning to real life, better-preparing students for their future beyond school.
“My child was supported to choose subjects they love at the end of Year 10. This careful subject selection has helped them enjoy and be excited about their learning, even when things were hard. Teachers have always been extremely supportive. Our family is grateful to have our children attend Peace.”Parent of Year 12 Graduate
Years 7 - 8 Subjects
Students in Years 7 and 8 participate in core and elective subjects. Elective subjects are undertaken on a rotation basis across the two years, enabling our students to make informed decisions when it comes time to choose elective subjects in Year 9.
