Senior School Curriculum

Other Cocurricular Opportunities In our Senior School the curriculum is rigorous and engaging. Our girls are encouraged to question and participate in their own learning. They discuss a broad range of issues and ideas and develop a sense of personal identity with each academic challenge they meet. Our courses vary from the traditional to the innovative. Whether discussing Shakespeare or the internet, world religions or chemical compounds, Roseville girls develop a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of learning they carry forward in life.

Years 7 and 8 – The Middle Years of Schooling
During Years 7 and 8 all girls study common courses including:

  • Christian Studies
  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Technology (Mandatory)
  • French
  • Geography
  • Visual Arts
  • German
  • Health
  • History

The required hours of study in Visual Arts, Music and Technology are all completed during these years. The girls also complete the mandatory 100 hours of study of one language in their Year 8 course, after having experienced an introduction to French, German and Japanese in Year 7.

In Year 7 there are four classes in most subjects. Technology is divided into six smaller classes. The girls are in a core class for:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Languages
  • History

Girls entering Year 7 sit for a class placement test the year prior to entry. From the results of this testing, girls are placed into classes according to their ability. The other subjects are taught in House groups in both Years 7 and 8. At the end of Year 7 girls are streamed into their classes in the core subjects for Year 8 according to their performance during the year. Girls may find if their particular ability lies in Mathematics they will be placed in the top class, however, if they do not perform as well in English, they will be placed in the appropriate class level.
