Introduction
The curriculum in Years 8 to 10 at St Norbert College is based on the firm foundation of knowledge and skills developed in primary school. The curriculum is contemporary in nature and incorporates the use of learning technologies in order to equip our students to be successful in their life beyond school.
Curriculum
The Middle School curriculum has been developed within the framework of the principles of Catholic Education. Religious Education is the first Learning Area in Catholic schools and reflects the requirements set out in the Bishop’s Mandate for Catholic Education in Western Australia.
The Curriculum Framework also informs the construction and presentation of our curriculum. The courses at St Norbert College are developed from the Learning Area outcomes as contained in this document.
Electives
In addition to Religious Education, English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Health and Physical Education, students will choose from a range of electives. The length of time allocated to the elective varies with the year group and the elective chosen. Subjects include art, languages, technologies such as wood, metal and textiles, music, drama and dance.
