Middle School

The new millennium is a time in education in Australia when interest in raising standards of achievement is fast becoming a preoccupation. This interest is revealed in the convergence of three developments:

• The shift of an outcomes focused curriculum
• The emergence of middle schooling
• The emphasis on literacy as a state and national priority

The overarching purpose of all schooling in our society is to help students become citizens, life long learners and healthy, caring ethical intellectually reflective individuals. These skills, knowledge and personal competence that students acquire in school should enable them to be successful today and in the future.

The middle years of schooling, years 4-9, are amongst the most exciting, challenging, scary and frustrating of any time for our young people. The Western Cape College Middle School is committed to providing a philosophy-based on the unique needs and characteristics of our students and a balanced, meaningful, challenging and relevant curriculum.
