Middle School at Newhaven College – an Island of opportunities
A contemporary Middle School designed for the specific needs of 10 – 14 year old young people.
A contemporary Middle School designed for the specific needs of 10 – 14 year old young people and guided by a Learning Ambition created to spark curiosity and provide personalisation is what you will find at Newhaven College.
The only Middle School in the region which brings Grade 5 – Year 8 students together, it provides a unique opportunity for student leadership layers at each level within the nurturing environment of a program and staff catering for this exciting time of schooling.
Upper primary students join the Middle School and start to engage with the specialist worlds of secondary school in both formal and informal ways.
The program harnesses the potential of the beautiful 33 hectare site to create authentic learning experiences which support students to build a sense of stewardship and sustainability practices.
A vertical house system creates a sense of pride and belonging as Grade 5 – Year 8 students meet daily in small groups to care for each other, craft learning strategies and use the experiences of the multiple age groups to inform positive decision-making.
A purpose-built Middle School creates opportunities to foster meaningful relationships between students and adults in order to develop a greater sense of community.
Head of Middle School Geoff White leads a team to craft a signature experience and identity for each year level whilst building a holistic culture of excitement and engagement.
His catchcry of “everyone is welcome in the Middle School” is plain to see as you walk through a moving sea of students and teachers chatting, answering queries, helping each other and crafting a dynamic hub filled with potential.
Supported by research on the developmental requirements of 10 – 14-year-olds the Newhaven College Middle School provides young people with an educational and pastoral program that supports each of them in their growth in these important years and sets them up for future success.
Newhaven College has limited places for Year 7 2023. Please contact our registrar Mrs Belinda Manning on 5956 7505 or discover more at www.newhavencol.vic.edu.au
