YEAR 6

We firmly believe that Year 6 students are worthy of the specialist stimulus, curriculum engagement and leadership opportunities that come from being valuable members of the Middle School.

With only three year levels in Middle School, our Year 6s benefit from an extremely personalised wellbeing program and academic care.

A FAMILIAR STRUCTURE

Life as a Year 6 student at Scotch Oakburn College is a mixture of known and comforting structures, such as a class teacher for all core subjects, together with some different and exciting opportunities to empower students to be creative, self-directed and innovative.

INTEGRATED LEARNING

Learning in Year 6 is experienced via a series of integrated units encompassing Humanities, English and Maths to allow students to learn in an inter-connected, meaningful and realistic manner. Allowing students to learn in this way lets them become self-directed and reflective about their understandings.

The facilities for Year 6 classes enable teachers to teach their classes independently or combine classes and team-teach to facilitate for small group learning opportunities and further differentiation and extension possibilities.

SPECIALIST SUBJECTS

Year 6 students also explore a range of specialist subjects which, when possible, are integrated into their core learning opportunities.

Students have specialist teachers for Science, Music, Chinese, Japanese, French, Physical Education, Visual Art, and Education Outdoors, which provides them with a range of exciting new opportunities from dedicated and talented professionals in their field.

CURRICULUM PROGRAMS

There are many exciting curriculum integration programs and enrichment programs that run in Year 6, such as our camp on Tasmania’s East Coast, Tournament of the Minds, the Middle School Arts Evening, Write a Book in a Day, Inter-School Debating Championships, and the Canberra Trip which all contribute to a student’s holistic education and allow all students an opportunity to shine.
