At Boronia K12 College, we know our students as learners and look for ways to ensure they achieve the best possible educational outcome.
As students transition into secondary schooling at Boronia K12 College, they experience an academically challenging and differentiated curriculum that is designed to allow them to demonstrate their ability and progress in their learning.
Our Year 7 to 9 programs build strong foundations for future success. Core literacy and numeracy skills are emphasised in all subjects across the curriculum but also targeted for support and enrichment in weekly classes. To support students to demonstrate voice and agency in their learning, as well as follow their passions, we offer a broad elective program with students exercising choice in which electives they pursue.
Year 7
At Boronia K–12 College, Year 7 is all about ensuring a smooth and supported transition into secondary school life. This begins with a thorough handover process, connecting with families and feeder primary schools to understand each student’s needs.
At the start of the school year, students take part in a comprehensive start-up program that focuses on school expectations, wellbeing, respectful relationships, organisation, learning strategies, goal setting, and school life. In Week 2 of Term 1, students attend a three-day, two-night camp at Fern Gully Lodge. Purposefully held early in the year, this camp helps students build new connections and friendships.
To further support learning and relationships, Year 7 students are taught by the same teacher for English and Humanities, and, where possible, the same teacher for Mathematics and Science. In addition, their daily Mentor teacher also teaches them in at least one subject, strengthening the consistency of care.
We place a strong priority on inducting our Year 7 students, ensuring that every student feels welcomed, connected, and well supported in their transition to secondary school.
Year 8
In Year 8 at Boronia K–12 College, students build on the skills and confidence developed in Year 7, while extending their learning through a wide range of opportunities. A diverse choice of 22 electives allows students to explore their interests and discover new passions.
Leadership and co-curricular opportunities expand at this level, with programs such as Hands on Learning, student leadership roles, and lead positions in clubs and the annual school production. These experiences encourage responsibility, teamwork, and personal growth, while strengthening students’ sense of belonging within our school community.
Year 9
In Year 9 at Boronia K–12 College, the program is purposefully designed to foster engagement and independence. The B-Connected Program focuses on developing real-life skills and provides the foundation for major experiences such as the City Experience and Year 9 Camp.
Students also deepen their learning in areas such as respectful relationships and careers education, including the Morrisby Careers Testing, which helps guide future pathways.
Leadership opportunities broaden at this stage, with students able to apply for roles as Middle School Captains or join the Student Voice Team (SVT), ensuring they have both formal and participatory ways to contribute to school life.
